00:00:00Previously...
00:00:02Oh, welcome to Feastable.
00:00:04Welcome Feastable!
00:00:06Happy couple Danielle and Marco
00:00:08weren't feeling the love in the kitchen.
00:00:10Like, it's burning.
00:00:12I'm scrambling at the moment.
00:00:14Or at the table.
00:00:16That was just not enough.
00:00:18And they were left heartbroken
00:00:20with 62 points.
00:00:22Danielle and Marco, it means you're on the bottom.
00:00:24Meanwhile,
00:00:26there was no love lost between Maria and Mark.
00:00:28Our score always match
00:00:30what we say on the table.
00:00:32Don't lie.
00:00:34I'm going.
00:00:36You really want to let Mark
00:00:38run you out of this competition?
00:00:40Really?
00:00:42Tonight,
00:00:44a storm is brewing
00:00:46in Adelaide.
00:00:48It's so windy!
00:00:50As Maria and Bailey hatch a plan.
00:00:52We have a little surprise.
00:00:54To silence Mark
00:00:56once and for all.
00:00:58When Mark goes on a little bit of a tangent
00:01:00sometimes.
00:01:02Push the button and...
00:01:04No!
00:01:06When Mark decides he won't take no
00:01:08for an answer...
00:01:10Do you reckon I should go check out
00:01:12how they're cooking the meats?
00:01:14Is it a good idea Mark should go up there?
00:01:16No!
00:01:18But do we want to see it?
00:01:20Yes!
00:01:22Hi Mark!
00:01:24What is Mark doing here?
00:01:26And everything else going good?
00:01:28We're pretty good, but you're distracting us a little bit.
00:01:30Really appreciate you.
00:01:32Goodbye! See you!
00:01:34Guys, is that the smoke alarm?
00:01:36Oh my God!
00:01:38What the hell?
00:01:40We're back in South Australia.
00:01:50We're back in South Australia.
00:01:52For our next ultimate instant restaurant in Adelaide.
00:01:56Where boss friends Maria and Bailey are bracing for a potential storm.
00:02:02Bailey!
00:02:04Maria!
00:02:05Medusa!
00:02:06Number three.
00:02:07This is our last opportunity to show everybody that we really do have what it takes to win
00:02:13My Kitchen Rules.
00:02:14We have had a lot of people doubt us in the competition and we need to do everything we can
00:02:19to make sure we prove them all wrong.
00:02:21Mark isn't getting any olive branches from us tonight.
00:02:24We really want to stick it to Mark.
00:02:27He gives us so much crap at the table, so I really want to shut him up.
00:02:32I definitely think that our food is going to be the thing that finally shuts Mark up.
00:02:37After this whole time.
00:02:38Absolutely.
00:02:39No!
00:02:40Oh!
00:02:41What's here?
00:02:42What is that?
00:02:43No!
00:02:44This is going to be in the middle of the table to save everybody tonight.
00:02:48No!
00:02:49This button is to be used if Mark keeps talking and you need to shut him up.
00:02:54Just hit the button and it will do the work for you.
00:02:56Everyone's going to love us for that.
00:02:58We definitely deserve some extra points for that.
00:03:00I think not having Maria and Bailey at the table tonight will just be a nice night,
00:03:05less drama and some mediocre food.
00:03:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:03:09Wow!
00:03:10How effective is that?
00:03:11Very.
00:03:18With their ultimate instant restaurant now set up, Maria and Bailey have just under four
00:03:23hours to shop for and prep six dishes before their guests arrive.
00:03:28I want to be at the top of the leaderboard this time.
00:03:31Justin and Will are sitting at the top at a 75.
00:03:35So I'm happy with anything over a 76.
00:03:37We just need to beat them so they know that there's competition.
00:03:41That's all.
00:03:42Maria and Bailey can definitely cook.
00:03:45However, I think tonight they want to prove a point and really want to knock this out of the park.
00:03:50They've talked a big game with the way they score, the way they critique.
00:03:54So they'd better bring it.
00:03:57The whole table has been turning on us recently since they found out that we strategically scored.
00:04:02This is a competition.
00:04:03You've got to use everything that you have.
00:04:05We are in the top five.
00:04:07One team is going to be eliminated at the end of this round and to get into the semi-finals would be incredible.
00:04:12So tonight we're going to do that by delivering amazing Mediterranean inspired menu.
00:04:16Yassou!
00:04:17Yassou!
00:04:18Yassou!
00:04:19Yassou!
00:04:20Yassou!
00:04:21We'd love some octopus.
00:04:22Octopus?
00:04:23Yeah, that's good.
00:04:24Oh, yum.
00:04:25For the entree one, we're making octopus with fava and spicy salsa verde.
00:04:31What I like about this entree, we have a traditional Greek recipe, but we're also adding a little bit of spazziness in there with the salsa verde.
00:04:40We all know about octopus.
00:04:42It's got to be soft and tender, not soft and mushy.
00:04:45Obviously, it's not our first octopus.
00:04:47Mark and Tan, they had a great dish and I'm sure Mark will tell Maria how to do it.
00:04:53What else would you like?
00:04:54Can we please have some lovely king prawns?
00:04:58Yes.
00:04:59Oh, Bailey, they look huge.
00:05:00They look delicious.
00:05:01Amazing.
00:05:02For our entree two, we have a feta gnocchi with prawns, bisque, pepper cream and Ouso gel.
00:05:10I'm hoping the new kid to be fluffy like a pillow, salty with bits of feta inside.
00:05:16What concerns me about this entree is this is for me too many things on one plate.
00:05:22All right, Maria, we've got a lot to do.
00:05:25Let's get into it.
00:05:27Okay, where should we start?
00:05:29Maria and Bailey absolutely need to nail this restaurant tonight.
00:05:33Definitely have targets on their back.
00:05:35So everything they put on that plate needs to be amazing because they have so much to prove.
00:05:40Shall we get some eggs?
00:05:41Yes, let's get some eggies.
00:05:42Cool.
00:05:43Shall we get, say, three dozen?
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:45For our first dessert, we are making a pavlova with Earl Grey ganache and raspberry and pink
00:05:51peppercorn coulis.
00:05:52That sounds interesting to me.
00:05:54I love the Earl Grey ganache.
00:05:57But saying that, it's this mixture of flavours and I hope they haven't shot themselves in the
00:06:02foot.
00:06:03Let's get some pistachios.
00:06:04We need this for our second dessert.
00:06:06For our dessert too, we're making a warm pistachio cookie with pistachio praline, caramelised
00:06:15pistachios and vanilla bean ice cream.
00:06:17So Maria's cookie empire, we've heard a lot about it.
00:06:20We've heard how good she is.
00:06:22Now she's got to put it on the plate.
00:06:24Do you guys have a reward card?
00:06:25Yes, I do.
00:06:27Hopefully it's gooey in the middle, crisp on the outside, caramelised pistachios.
00:06:32I would pay for this.
00:06:36With their shopping complete, Maria and Bailey have just a little over three hours to prep
00:06:42their six dishes before the guest teams arrive.
00:06:45That's so weird, isn't it?
00:06:47Okay.
00:06:48Apron's on.
00:06:49Apron's on.
00:06:50Are you ready?
00:06:51How you looking?
00:06:52Good.
00:06:53Ready?
00:06:54Let's do it.
00:06:55Given that this is our third time cooking in a house, I have more confidence because we
00:06:58feel more comfortable.
00:06:59We've done this before, but we're also now up in the ante and adding double of everything.
00:07:04So we really have to be on the ball.
00:07:07So Bailey, I'm starting the fish stock for our lemon velouté for our barramundi for mains.
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:14For our main one, we're cooking barramundi with potato scales, Mediterranean vegetables and lemon velouté.
00:07:21Velouté really is like a thickened milk base sauce.
00:07:26The concerns are the potato scales needs to be crispy on the top of the fish.
00:07:32If it's undercooked, it's not that great.
00:07:34That's going to be hard.
00:07:35Maria, where did you get this idea of the potato scales?
00:07:38Also, this is ultimate instant restaurant.
00:07:40Like, we can't just serve something that you commonly see.
00:07:44And with the feedback that Marco and Danielle had from the judges, if you don't elevate
00:07:49your dishes now, you're not going to make it to the semifinals.
00:07:53We're definitely banking on Maria and Bailey to be the ones that are going to fail and
00:07:57get us through to the semifinals.
00:07:59We've definitely seen some cracks in their foundation in Kitchen HQ.
00:08:02So I think there's every chance for us to sneak above them tonight.
00:08:06So Bailey, this is going to form our beef broth for the red wine jus, for our lovely steak
00:08:11that we have on the menu tonight.
00:08:13For main two, we're serving scotch fillet with red wine jus and potato terrine.
00:08:19The steak needs to be cooked really well.
00:08:21You can undercook it and you can overcook it.
00:08:23You have to get it right.
00:08:24We've got the red wine jus.
00:08:25You better make sure it's not overly acidic or alcoholy.
00:08:29Make it well and give enough of it.
00:08:33Wow, that came around quickly.
00:08:35Down to an hour to go until the guest teams arrive.
00:08:39Okay, it's really important to start the pavlovas now.
00:08:42We need to bake them for an hour.
00:08:44I'm so glad that Maria is such a dessert wizard.
00:08:48I'm going to be doing all the work.
00:08:50And I'll help with the presentation.
00:08:52Oh my God, look how nice and glossy this meringue is.
00:08:57Unbelievable.
00:08:58For our pavlova, everything needs to be perfect.
00:09:01You don't want it to crack.
00:09:03You don't want it to collapse.
00:09:05How many pavlovas are you making?
00:09:06Eight.
00:09:07Does that give us enough if anything goes wrong?
00:09:09No, but I'm just positive that everyone's going to order the pistachio cookie because I'm the cookie queen, remember?
00:09:16Considering we have levelled up in our critiques and our scoring, I think that the other teams are going to do exactly the same and they'll be a little bit more harsh than we used to.
00:09:27I know that there is a storm out there, so maybe Medusa is coming for Mark.
00:09:34If he tries to say something bad about us, Medusa will just...
00:09:39Turn him to stone because that's what she does, right?
00:09:41Yes.
00:09:42So Medusa is going to help us out tonight.
00:09:44Although she is supposed to ward off evil spirits, so I hope that Mark just doesn't come.
00:09:57We are currently second on the leaderboard.
00:10:02Which feels good because we definitely haven't had that feeling before.
00:10:05Which is crazy.
00:10:06So we can have a good time in there tonight.
00:10:08I'm feeling pretty disappointed about last night, but I definitely feel like there's still an opportunity for us to make it to the semi-finals.
00:10:15I think with the score of 62, I feel like we've still got a chance.
00:10:18Tonight, it's history in the making.
00:10:21The Battle of Adelaide.
00:10:22Mark and Tan, Maria and Bailey.
00:10:24Took an unstoppable force for me to moveable object.
00:10:32Oh my God, they're here!
00:10:33Oh my God!
00:10:34Can you believe it?
00:10:36Do we both look like we've been doing things, right?
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:39Let me just...
00:10:40Maybe we can dust some more flowers.
00:10:41It's okay, let's go.
00:10:42Let's go.
00:10:43Hi!
00:10:47Come in!
00:10:48How are you?
00:10:49Welcome!
00:10:50When we walk in, Maria tried to shake my hand.
00:10:52So I gave her a hug instead.
00:10:54Maybe I should have just given a high five, actually.
00:10:57That probably would have been a bit better.
00:10:58I'll remember for next time.
00:11:01Oi!
00:11:02Look how beautiful this looks!
00:11:04Medusa!
00:11:05Is it?
00:11:06It's third time, right?
00:11:07Third time.
00:11:08Wow.
00:11:09Medusa is dark, majestic, full of...
00:11:12What's the word?
00:11:13Ambience.
00:11:14Olive branches, which people might need a few of tonight.
00:11:17Always olive branches there to extend at any point, if they need.
00:11:24Hi everyone!
00:11:25Welcome to Medusa again.
00:11:27Tonight we are all of our big flavours.
00:11:31We're gonna keep it a little bit more simple, but without losing our true selves.
00:11:36As we all know, the competition is starting to heat up, so we're really taking on the advice from the judges and hopefully surprise you all tonight.
00:11:45And lastly, we have a little surprise for you.
00:11:49We have a little surprise for you in the middle of the table.
00:11:51This surprise is for Mark.
00:11:55That's nice.
00:11:56So, you know when Mark goes on a little bit of a tangent sometimes and we can't quite get there?
00:12:02Push the button and hopefully it'll help.
00:12:06Anyway, we gotta go.
00:12:07See you guys!
00:12:11What was that about, Mark?
00:12:12I've always said they're pretty rude people, but that's all good.
00:12:15Did that have anything to do with last night?
00:12:17Obviously last night, we were all calling them out about, obviously, their strategic scoring.
00:12:22And, you know, if they can't handle that, that's their fault for lying about it.
00:12:27And, for me, something like this is like another slap in the face from them, being rude.
00:12:31Now, you can try to get it under my skin, but at the end of the day, we're still gonna out-cook them.
00:12:37Does this affect your taste buds tonight?
00:12:39Maybe if the food's not good enough, we can just...
00:12:41For the last time, no!
00:12:52Yes!
00:12:59Yes.
00:13:12Thank you, are you great?
00:13:13Ok hair?
00:13:14I love it, thank you.
00:13:17Thank you!
00:13:18Okay.
00:13:22Bonsoir!
00:13:24How are you, darling?
00:13:25Hi.
00:13:26Welcome, guys.
00:13:27Thank you very much for joining us.
00:13:29Welcome back.
00:13:31Let's do it.
00:13:33Let's do it.
00:13:36Good evening, Bonsoir!
00:13:43How are we all?
00:13:44Good.
00:13:45So, if you would like to open up your menus, everybody.
00:13:50Your first option for entree is an octopus with fava and spicy salsa verde.
00:13:57For the second entree, we have fat gnocchi with prawns, bisque, pepper cream and ouzo gel.
00:14:04We've cooked octopus before, so we're interested to see how Marie and Bailey are going to cook this up.
00:14:09It will be very, very interesting if they can outdo our nine, but I don't think they're going to.
00:14:14For main, your first option is a barramundi with potato scales, Mediterranean vegetables and a lemon valetée.
00:14:21And your second option for a main, it's a Scots fillet with red wine jus and potato terrine.
00:14:27Wow!
00:14:28Oh my gosh.
00:14:29That looks amazing.
00:14:30That looks like about 13 people need to cook this.
00:14:33I think with Maria and Bailey's menu being so complicated, there is so much more room for error.
00:14:39If you've got three or four things that aren't right, then they're definitely looking like they could get a lower score than us.
00:14:45And for dessert, your first option is a pavlova with Earl Grey ganache and raspberry and pink peppercorn coolie.
00:14:52And for our second dessert option, we have a warm pistachio cookie with pistachio praline, caramelized pistachios and vanilla bean ice cream.
00:15:01Finally, we have been waiting to try those. I hope it's yummy and exactly how we've seen them because we have done a little bit of research on our cookies and they look amazing.
00:15:10Shall we take your orders?
00:15:13For entry, I'll have the feta gnocchi, please. The barmonde, please. The pavlova, please.
00:15:18Amazing.
00:15:19I shall have the octopus, the scotch fillet and the cookie.
00:15:23Danielle and Marco.
00:15:25For main, we'll get the scotch fillet.
00:15:27And then we'll have to get the cookie for dessert.
00:15:29Okay.
00:15:30The thing that we're most threatened by, by far, is Maria's cookie. Maria has a cookie business.
00:15:36And I think it's really brave that she's done that because if it doesn't turn out well, yeah, that's not going to be good for her.
00:15:43Can we please get the scotch fillet for main, please? And then for dessert, we'll have your warm pistachio cookie.
00:15:50Can we please get the octopus and the cookie?
00:15:54So we'll grab the octopus. And which dessert do you want to do? Pavlova?
00:15:58Yeah, we'll do the pavlova for the dessert.
00:16:00Mmm, unexpected.
00:16:02I'm surprised that Mark didn't order your cookie.
00:16:05Just so that he could critique it so hard and make you feel bad.
00:16:09Obviously, he thought that it's going to be great, so he's obviously not going to order the cookie.
00:16:16Well, we better get started.
00:16:18That's right. It's not going to cook itself.
00:16:20That's right. Good luck.
00:16:21Good luck, guys.
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:27Well, the worst case scenario tonight would probably be Maria and Bailey outdoing Justin and Will.
00:16:34But I can guarantee they won't get the highest score.
00:16:39Game on.
00:16:43Coming up, with the table turning against them...
00:16:46If it's a bit bland, everyone's going to find another reason to complain about it.
00:16:50We are in a vulnerable position.
00:16:52Maria and Bailey are out to silence the critics.
00:16:56Oh, my God!
00:16:57They're beautiful.
00:16:58They're beautiful.
00:16:59We want to prove that we can end up on the top of the leaderboard.
00:17:02But will arch-rival Mark...
00:17:04How are we going, guys?
00:17:05What is Mark doing here?
00:17:07...see their semi-final dream...
00:17:10You're distracting us a little bit.
00:17:11I just want him gone.
00:17:13Go up in smoke.
00:17:15Mark, do this, Maria.
00:17:18This is too warm.
00:17:19Oh, my God.
00:17:20Oh, my God.
00:17:27In Adelaide, boss friends Maria and Bailey are looking to impress their guests with their two ambitious entrees.
00:17:35So we need seven serves of the octopus, and we also need three serves for the gnocchi.
00:17:41Now we're at the ultimate instant restaurant.
00:17:43It is far more challenging cooking two lots of everything.
00:17:48It's really stressful.
00:17:50Bailey, the bisque looks unreal.
00:17:52It looks beautiful.
00:17:54I'm going to do the feta gnocchi.
00:17:56Perfect.
00:17:57For entree two, we're serving feta gnocchi with prawns, bisque, pepper cream, and ooza gel.
00:18:04We don't add any salt to this.
00:18:06Yes, I mean feta.
00:18:07It adds a lot of salt to it, but that's kind of like the charm of the feta gnocchi, isn't it?
00:18:12This recipe is definitely not traditional.
00:18:14I'm using the feta instead of using potato.
00:18:17We're trying to do something outside of the box and really create a Greek sort of gnocchi.
00:18:23So just remember, two fingers a little bit, Bailey, and then dent.
00:18:28The texture of the feta gnocchi is definitely different to a traditional gnocchi.
00:18:32It's a little bit more clumpy on the inside,
00:18:35and then once you fry them on the pan, you get a crunch,
00:18:38and then you get some chewiness in the middle.
00:18:40All right, Marie, I'm going straight in and cooking this now, okay?
00:18:43Oh, my God! Beautiful color!
00:18:45They're beautiful.
00:18:46This is exactly what we were going for.
00:18:48What I like about this entree is that it takes me back to a Greek summer.
00:18:53Okay, I'm just going to cook the prawns in just a little bit of butter, Bailey.
00:18:57I'm just looking for a beautiful, like, buh-buh-buh.
00:19:00The most important thing to get right is the cook of the prawn.
00:19:03It's so easy to overcook them, and it happens so quickly.
00:19:06So we better be careful with that.
00:19:08Because we have so many more people who are ready to nitpick.
00:19:12Bailey, you are doing a fantastic job. Keep it up, bro!
00:19:16Go!
00:19:20Marco and Danielle, do you think that you guys will be at the bottom
00:19:23after Maria and Bailey's, or no?
00:19:25I hope not.
00:19:26I think with Maria and Bailey, I feel like Instant Restaurants
00:19:28is definitely probably their weak point.
00:19:30I think when they've got too much time, they almost overcomplicate it,
00:19:33and having one dish that's really weak, like what we had last night,
00:19:36can really bring the whole score down.
00:19:38So I think that we're going to finish the night on top of them
00:19:41and straight into the semi-finals, but we'll see.
00:19:44The previous Instant Restaurant round, Maria and Bailey got a score of 62,
00:19:48which is our current score now.
00:19:49So I feel like if there's ever a chance in this competition
00:19:52for someone to be below us, it's going to be Maria and Bailey tonight.
00:19:57Lowell and Lil, you're the only team that ordered the Fetanaki
00:20:00with prawns, bisque, pepper cream and ouzo gel.
00:20:04Yeah.
00:20:05Are you looking forward to it?
00:20:06I am looking forward to it.
00:20:07I think if they nail it, it can be delicious.
00:20:08I've never had a Fetanaki.
00:20:10I love the taste of Fetanaki, so that should be delicious.
00:20:12So what will be a good Fetanaki for you?
00:20:15What texture?
00:20:16I want it light, fluffy, easy to digest, full of flavour.
00:20:19And yeah, I think the pepper cream will really add some flavour in there as well.
00:20:22We have seen Naki in the competition already.
00:20:24The biggest thing is that it's not done right.
00:20:26It turns to mash.
00:20:27It's not the right texture.
00:20:28It's not fluffy and light.
00:20:29It could be dense.
00:20:31They have a lot of pressure on their shoulders tonight.
00:20:35Alright, octopus.
00:20:37For entree one, we're serving octopus with fava and spicy salsa verde.
00:20:43The biggest challenge for our octopus is to get the char.
00:20:46We've been critiqued heavily on that in the past and we really want to make sure we don't make the same mistake again.
00:20:54Yeah, girl.
00:20:55Bailey, definitely the second back for us.
00:20:58Why?
00:20:59Yes.
00:21:00We get some char.
00:21:01The fire alarm is ready to start.
00:21:03It's going to get smoky.
00:21:04The char is really just the flavour.
00:21:06The thing that worries us the most about our octopus entree is that there's only three components to it.
00:21:12So it really needs to be perfect.
00:21:14The last people to make octopus in this competition was Mark and Tan.
00:21:19Mm-hmm.
00:21:20They got two nines for that, so hopefully we can get two tens.
00:21:23Oh, that's beautiful.
00:21:27Mark and Tan.
00:21:28What do you think the risks are with this octopus?
00:21:31If it's too chewy, obviously no one's going to like it.
00:21:34And I'm hoping that salsa verde really packs a punch for everyone as well.
00:21:37If it's a bit bland, everyone's going to find another reason to complain about it.
00:21:41So you actually got a nine.
00:21:43Do you think this octopus can get a nine?
00:21:45I don't know if they can, but they can try it.
00:21:48So how critical are you going to be tonight?
00:21:51The whole competition, we've been honest with everyone's critiques.
00:21:55Our scoring's always lined up with the judges for yourselves.
00:21:58So we're going to continue with that.
00:22:01Integrity for us is the biggest thing.
00:22:03I think Marie and Bailey got caught with their hand in the cookie jar for strategic scoring.
00:22:08And I think if that's how they want to win, that's a loser mentality.
00:22:12Daniel Marco, what's your story on the octopus?
00:22:15Interested to see what they do with the fava beans and the octopus.
00:22:18I feel like Maria and Bailey are very technically skilled.
00:22:21So I think this will be a really good dish if they get it right.
00:22:24Justin.
00:22:25I think it's a really good entree.
00:22:26I think the whole menu reads really well, but I'm excited about this entree in particular.
00:22:29Can this menu beat your score?
00:22:31Like if they get everything right tonight and they work well.
00:22:34No!
00:22:35I feel like I'm about to feed like the whole village or something.
00:22:42We definitely have a combination between angry villagers and friendly at the table.
00:22:47Let's not go there, Bailey.
00:22:49We're plating now.
00:22:50Now we need to put the love that all these dishes deserve.
00:22:54We are in a vulnerable position because we've talked about game and we need to blow everyone away.
00:22:59We have a target on our back and they're going to be going through each element and making sure that it's cooked right.
00:23:06I'm super stoked with this.
00:23:10I think we're bringing flavour.
00:23:12We're keeping it simple.
00:23:13This is definitely simple in my eyes.
00:23:16I'm not sure about everybody else.
00:23:18We definitely feel proud of our entrees.
00:23:20We want to prove to everybody else that we can end up on the top of the leaderboard.
00:23:25Mark, Colin, Manu, let's go.
00:23:28Okay, let's go.
00:23:41André is served.
00:23:43We're happy with how they look.
00:23:56But we're worried about the chart of the octopus and how it will be compared to Mark and Tens.
00:24:02And our gnocchi, it's not traditional at all.
00:24:08Wow.
00:24:09It looks gorgeous.
00:24:10It's nice and simple.
00:24:11If they've nailed these three elements, we're definitely going to be in trouble.
00:24:15All the nerves just come flooding in.
00:24:23I think the other teens definitely are going to come after us.
00:24:30It's so nerve-wracking.
00:24:43At Maria and Bailey's Ultimate Instant Restaurant, their entrees have just landed.
00:24:49Feta gnocchi and octopus with fava and spicy salsa verde.
00:24:56I'm definitely feeling the pressure tonight because we confess to strategy scoring.
00:25:02So we have a target on our back.
00:25:05We'll call you back and tell you what we think.
00:25:08The gnocchi flavour is great with the feta, but this isn't the right texture.
00:25:25It's not fluffy and light.
00:25:27It's just wrong.
00:25:28It's like a flat little pancake.
00:25:31The octopus, very tough, my piece.
00:25:38Very tough.
00:25:39Against what we cooked, I don't think it's anywhere close.
00:25:53All right.
00:25:54Danny Marco, what do you think of this octopus and fava?
00:25:57It was really good.
00:25:58Usually I don't really like beans and that fava puree was delicious, packed full of flavour.
00:26:03Yeah, they're off to a really good start.
00:26:05If Maria and Bailey continue like this tonight...
00:26:08Book some flights back to Perth ASAP.
00:26:11Yeah, crap.
00:26:13Damn it.
00:26:14This dish was absolutely delicious.
00:26:16It was unreal.
00:26:17I think the only thing that I would change was the ratios.
00:26:20A little bit less fava and a bit more salsa.
00:26:22I would have loved to have dipped the octopus straight into that salsa.
00:26:26Ten.
00:26:27The octopus.
00:26:28Thoughts?
00:26:29Farm.
00:26:30Not as good as ours.
00:26:32The salsa part, I couldn't taste as much.
00:26:35It just felt like chili being cooked over it, maybe.
00:26:37The biggest letdown, though, is the octopus.
00:26:40I could barely cut it, even when I ate it.
00:26:43It was very chewy.
00:26:44Though, as I can say this, obviously we cooked ours and it was very soft.
00:26:48It's pretty stupid to try and copy the dish that we got a nine for.
00:26:54This is like a dollar store knock-off version.
00:26:58Lol and Lil, how was your gnocchi?
00:27:01I like the flavour of the feta in the gnocchi.
00:27:03The gnocchi's so flat, though, like it doesn't have any body in it.
00:27:07It doesn't have the wiggle, wiggle.
00:27:08It doesn't have the wiggle, wiggle.
00:27:09It doesn't have the wiggle, wiggle.
00:27:10It's not that soft.
00:27:11Yeah, it's a bit dense.
00:27:12I think the prawn is overcooked a bit.
00:27:15It's quite chewy.
00:27:16There's just so many flavours fighting each other and I don't know if it works.
00:27:21We've got Daniel and Marco or Maria and Bailey.
00:27:26I think you're pretty on par.
00:27:27I think you might be slightly ahead but pretty on par, to be honest, at this stage.
00:27:37Maria and Bailey, for entree, I had the octopus and fava with spicy salsa verde.
00:27:44The octopus, for me, cooked beautifully.
00:27:46Maybe a little bit more char on there.
00:27:49The puree was beautiful.
00:27:51It was creamy.
00:27:52But you need a lot less.
00:27:53Because all you can taste is that puree.
00:27:56And I would have loved a lot more of the spicy salsa verde.
00:28:00But you know what?
00:28:01It was not a bad start.
00:28:02There's a couple of tweaks we can do.
00:28:04But it was a good start to the meal.
00:28:07I'm really positive after getting our critiques for our octopus dish.
00:28:12I think this might be a good start.
00:28:15Maria and Bailey, for entree, I got the feta gnocchi with prawns, bisque, pepper cream and ooze gel.
00:28:25The prawns, well seasoned, well coloured, slightly overcooked.
00:28:30And the gnocchi, I was very disappointed.
00:28:32I love the addition of the feta.
00:28:36That saltiness really shone through.
00:28:39But the gnocchi themselves, I think, were a little bit dense.
00:28:42Too heavy for my liking.
00:28:44I am a little bit sad about Manu's feedback.
00:28:47We were not trying to do like a traditional gnocchi.
00:28:50We were trying to do something outside of the box.
00:28:53It's tough.
00:28:55But it is very early on.
00:28:58Looking at the main course, it seems to be a lot simpler.
00:29:01And just concentrate on the fish, concentrate on the beef, concentrate on the potato and on the sauce.
00:29:06Alright?
00:29:08Thank you, guys.
00:29:09Good job, guys. Well done.
00:29:15We're kind of lucky that not everyone orders a gnocchi.
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:20After getting the entree critiques from the judges, I think we're feeling pretty positive still.
00:29:25We had some good feedback, so I think that we still could be in the running to be at the top of the leaderboard.
00:29:31Luckily for our mains, it's relatively simple in comparison.
00:29:34Yes, absolutely, Bailey.
00:29:36So, first I'm going to get the stakes out.
00:29:38Out.
00:29:39You focus on the stakes, right?
00:29:40I'm going to organise the stakes.
00:29:42And they're quite big, so.
00:29:43They're huge.
00:29:44They're huge.
00:29:45Oh, my God.
00:29:46Yes.
00:29:47For our second main, we're cooking a scotch fillet with red wine jus and potato terrine.
00:29:52In a perfect world, we would have a beautiful medium rare steak that has glistening little bits of salt on there.
00:30:01Beautiful.
00:30:02Excellent.
00:30:03Oh, my God.
00:30:04Look at these are so cute.
00:30:05They are so beautiful.
00:30:06We have never cooked this many steaks before.
00:30:08And having to cook perfectly medium rare steaks, this is quite challenging.
00:30:13Good.
00:30:14Good.
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:16And everyone will be super critical if any of the steaks are even slightly under over cooked.
00:30:19That's good.
00:30:20We know the teams are gunning for us.
00:30:25So, guys, obviously, we've got our mains coming up next.
00:30:29And it's scotch fillet.
00:30:31Obviously, you know, myself and Tan really like meats.
00:30:34Marie and Bailey, you didn't ask how we want the meat cooked.
00:30:38Oh, true.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:40Bear, do you reckon I should go check out how they're cooking the meats?
00:30:45Well, no, because I think...
00:30:46I'll start calling white lady funerals now.
00:30:50Make sure if you do go out there, Marie, it doesn't have anything in her hand.
00:30:55Is it a good idea Mark should go up there?
00:30:57No.
00:30:58But do we want to see it?
00:30:59Yes.
00:31:02My last words to Mark right now would be duck to the left then to the right.
00:31:06I think that's how Marie normally likes to do it with her pans.
00:31:09If you got a rare, would you be upset?
00:31:11Yes.
00:31:12Exactly.
00:31:13So you're going to take our orders and go and tell them?
00:31:14Yes.
00:31:15What do we want?
00:31:16Medium rare, please.
00:31:17Medium rare?
00:31:18Medium for me, please.
00:31:19Medium rare for her.
00:31:20Of course.
00:31:21Maureen Bailey had a bit of a poke at me this after night with no bottoms, so maybe someone
00:31:25poked back.
00:31:26All I can say is good luck.
00:31:28Hey, Mark, see you at Adelaide Cemetery, mate?
00:31:32We'll deliver some flowers.
00:31:39It's alright.
00:31:40This is baking paper.
00:31:41It did work, baby.
00:31:42There you go, guys.
00:31:43Hi, Mark.
00:31:44How are you?
00:31:45Hi, Mark.
00:31:46How are you?
00:31:47What is Mark doing here?
00:31:49I actually came up to help.
00:31:50Oh, really?
00:31:51Yes.
00:31:52Their audacity.
00:31:53Everyone said, for all the stakes, can they be medium, rare?
00:31:58Mm-hmm.
00:31:59And then one did ask for it, though, to be about medium, well done.
00:32:04Honestly.
00:32:05Who was that?
00:32:06Lowell.
00:32:07I knew it.
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:09He is claiming he's here to help, and I think the truth is he's here to distract us.
00:32:12Lowell was like, if she gets one that's, like, rare, she's going low school you guys
00:32:17straight away.
00:32:18This is me extending the olive branch.
00:32:20I should have brought one up.
00:32:21Mark is a huge distraction.
00:32:23Cool.
00:32:24Thanks.
00:32:25We don't have any time to waste.
00:32:26I want to get him out of the kitchen as fast as possible.
00:32:29Bye, Mark.
00:32:30Are you doing those on this one?
00:32:31Bye.
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:33Bye.
00:32:34Thank you so much.
00:32:35And I'm so sick to death of hearing his voice, looking at his face.
00:32:38Appreciate it.
00:32:39Goodbye.
00:32:40See you.
00:32:41Have a nice time.
00:32:42I'm going to get him gone out of the kitchen, out of the competition.
00:32:45That came from the heart.
00:32:48I'm going to rage.
00:32:50Mark makes me want to rage because he's completely trying to throw us off.
00:32:55Did you do both sides?
00:32:57No, you didn't do the bottom.
00:33:00I don't want to be second guessing how we cook the steaks.
00:33:03I'm just going to give you some garlic.
00:33:05I don't need it yet.
00:33:06Relax.
00:33:07As if enough hasn't gone wrong tonight, now we have the smoke alarm going.
00:33:17What can happen next?
00:33:18What is Medusa doing?
00:33:20He did this.
00:33:21Mark did this, Maria.
00:33:22Just relax.
00:33:23Relax.
00:33:24Because the stress is stressing.
00:33:25Guys, is that the smoke alarm?
00:33:27Sounds like it.
00:33:28That's so bad.
00:33:29Oh my gosh.
00:33:30Do you think Mark started the fire or do you think they've burnt something themselves?
00:33:34Probably going to throw him in the oven.
00:33:36Yeah.
00:33:37She left him there.
00:33:39Do not put the steaks now.
00:33:41Take it off.
00:33:42This is too much.
00:33:43Oh.
00:33:44Shh.
00:33:45I don't know what I'm doing now.
00:33:47Oh my God.
00:33:49What the hell?
00:33:58At Medusa, Maria and Bailey are on fire in the kitchen.
00:34:02But not in a good way.
00:34:04Oh my God.
00:34:05Oh for **** sakes.
00:34:06And they have a battle to make sure their chances of survival don't go up in flames.
00:34:12Bailey has to deal with the alarm.
00:34:15It leaves me with all the pans.
00:34:17Obviously I can't stop now.
00:34:19The meat is on the pan.
00:34:20I just have to keep going.
00:34:22Should I put some water on that?
00:34:23Let it be.
00:34:24If you put water now.
00:34:25It'll get worse.
00:34:26It will get worse.
00:34:27Oh.
00:34:28Just it needs five minutes.
00:34:30We are really risking overcooking stuff right now.
00:34:34And it's really hard to look out for all these proteins.
00:34:37I'm stressing out.
00:34:38Okay.
00:34:39Bailey, I need you to get cooking.
00:34:40I know that you're trying.
00:34:41Bailey.
00:34:42Get a smoothie base.
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:44Here, Bailey.
00:34:45Here, Bailey.
00:34:46Here, Bailey.
00:34:47So that is a little bit concerning.
00:34:57It's still going.
00:34:59What did you do?
00:35:00Did he set the smoke alarm off?
00:35:01Is that a smoke alarm?
00:35:02Says the culprit.
00:35:03It's very convenient that as soon as Mark went to the kitchen, fire alarms started going
00:35:18off.
00:35:19What's up, Mark?
00:35:20What happened?
00:35:21Yeah, so I just went up there.
00:35:22Bailey.
00:35:23He was like, stop.
00:35:24Yeah.
00:35:25We don't want anyone to have a really bad cook.
00:35:28If Mark's going to go up there and kind of stuff a couple of things up, then we'll just
00:35:32let it happen.
00:35:35Chance, you decide to go for the fish.
00:35:37What are you imagining?
00:35:39I'm thinking it's just something straight out of Instagram.
00:35:41It's going to be nice and elegant.
00:35:43Nice, big barramundi fillet.
00:35:45I think barramundi is a good choice because it's quite forgiving.
00:35:48If you overcook it slightly, it's still nice and tender.
00:35:51So, love the barramundi cooked well.
00:35:54Potatoes goes up.
00:35:55It's crunchy for some texture.
00:35:56And fish with lemon.
00:35:57Come on.
00:35:58We've only got one team having fish and the rest are having the steak.
00:36:02Is it easier that way?
00:36:03Because you've only got to cook one fish.
00:36:06Yeah, true.
00:36:07I'm expecting this fish to be a knockout.
00:36:10I think, Bailey, the smoke alarm really threw us off.
00:36:17Yep, I agree.
00:36:18So, not good, darling.
00:36:20After all that waste of time, we need to get the barramundi fried.
00:36:23So, can you get me four beautiful barramundis?
00:36:26Yes, ma'am.
00:36:27The biggest concern for our barramundi is the cook of the fish versus the potato scales.
00:36:32We really need to get the crispy scales and we need to make sure that the fish is still delicate and juicy and not overcooked.
00:36:40Yeah, it's very nice and moist.
00:36:42It's just like, obviously, it's not as pretty as I wanted.
00:36:45We have just to complete our lemon valetée, which is a beautiful French sauce.
00:36:50Oh my god.
00:36:51More lemon.
00:36:52It's very lemony.
00:36:53Well, lemon.
00:36:54And then we'll also need to do our vegetables.
00:36:59What is going on out there?
00:37:04Did you guys know that Mark and breakdance?
00:37:06What?
00:37:07No!
00:37:08No, hold it.
00:37:09Let's go, let's see.
00:37:10Can you actually breakdance?
00:37:11I used to be out of it.
00:37:12Go to it right now.
00:37:13Come on, I've heard so much.
00:37:14Go, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark.
00:37:19The stage is yours.
00:37:21The stage is all yours, take it away.
00:37:23I know, so, I really hope I don't hit anything.
00:37:27Just, I hope they've got insurance.
00:37:29Tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky.
00:37:31Oh!
00:37:33Ah, Mark, that wasn't dancing, that was gymnastics.
00:37:39That was called a round-off.
00:37:40We learnt that in year seven.
00:37:44So, back to the stakes.
00:37:47Right, we'll start with Meat Master 2.0.
00:37:50The stakes are very thick steaks,
00:37:52which normally I'd do in like a barbecue.
00:37:54I don't know, they might struggle.
00:37:56Might be a bit bloody in the middle for you.
00:37:58We will see.
00:37:59I'm so intrigued to see if Maria and Bailey
00:38:01can deliver my steak medium well
00:38:03after Mark went and visited them in the kitchen.
00:38:05That's a lot of pressure on their shoulders.
00:38:08Mark, what are you expecting?
00:38:10Well, I much prefer thicker cuts of steak
00:38:12and I think the red wine jus is gonna be
00:38:15at the bottom of the plate
00:38:16and I think the steak's gonna be sliced.
00:38:19So, I think it's gonna look really nice
00:38:21and hopefully it's gonna be seasoned well.
00:38:23But not too well.
00:38:24Yeah, not too well.
00:38:26Good for me, shit for everyone else.
00:38:30I think we're ready to start plating.
00:38:32The only thing that is left is to cut the steaks
00:38:35to see what we've done.
00:38:37Putting steak on the menu is definitely a risk.
00:38:40We need to prove we can cook steaks correctly.
00:38:42And after Mark's visit, I don't know if I want to take his advice.
00:38:46I mean, we're gonna cook them medium rare.
00:38:48From Phil, I feel like they're nice and juicy, Bailey.
00:38:52Except for Lowell's, which I hope we've cooked medium.
00:38:55Okay.
00:38:56It's really stressful.
00:38:58I'm gonna cut the steak.
00:39:01Okay.
00:39:02Given that we've had so much going on in the kitchen,
00:39:05we're gonna have to take these steaks and cut them open
00:39:08to actually work out if we've cooked them right or not.
00:39:11All right, Bailey.
00:39:14That's medium.
00:39:15Yeah.
00:39:17We can use that for Lowell.
00:39:18Let's hope that all the rest of our steaks are medium rare.
00:39:22All right, I'm just gonna go with a thicker one.
00:39:25This is so stressful, bro.
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:27All right.
00:39:28It is a little bit medium, isn't it?
00:39:35All right.
00:39:35Maybe on the...
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:36Some of the steaks might be more medium than medium rare.
00:39:40So this one is a bit overcooked.
00:39:42All right.
00:39:43But after all the drawing in the kitchen,
00:39:44we can at least get something on the plate right now.
00:39:46We've got steak and asparagus.
00:39:49We've got our potato terrine on there.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:53And our red wine jus.
00:39:54How's it looking?
00:39:55I think it looks pretty good.
00:39:56I'm just adding a little cornstarch situation to thicken it up.
00:40:02The red wine jus hasn't reduced as much as we would like.
00:40:06However, you're definitely getting the red wine taste to it.
00:40:11And we're almost there.
00:40:12Bailey's salt.
00:40:14And I'll do the fish.
00:40:16Plating the fish.
00:40:17The lemon velouté is there for the sauce element.
00:40:21And the barramundi should have a really nice crust of the potato
00:40:26and the vegetables just to burst a little Mediterranean flavour on the plate.
00:40:31Well, definitely it's not the presentation for the fish that I was hoping for.
00:40:35I think that the fish is done okay.
00:40:38We could have get some more like consistency on the potato scales.
00:40:43And I'm worried this might affect the taste and our skull.
00:40:48This one for Colin?
00:40:50Yes, and this one for Manu.
00:40:51Okay.
00:40:52Let's do it.
00:40:52Don't forget the sauce.
00:41:06It's served.
00:41:11Serving our dishes to Colin and Manu, we know that they're not perfect,
00:41:16but we faced a lot of chaos in the kitchen tonight.
00:41:22Okay, so, Lil.
00:41:25And I heard that you like a steak a little bit on the medium well side.
00:41:29So I tried to give you as much.
00:41:32I appreciate it.
00:41:35Thank you so much for all your advice and help.
00:41:38That's all right.
00:41:40I can definitely see, because it is cut open, that it is more just a medium.
00:41:45Yeah, they've overcooked it a bit.
00:41:53And we'll enjoy.
00:42:09Mark purposely threw us off our game tonight with the mains.
00:42:22I'm livid.
00:42:24We're worried about the cook of the steaks and those potato scales.
00:42:28You could have got my help and you could have got a higher score, but that's okay.
00:42:32No 10s for them tonight.
00:42:39In Adelaide, Maria and Bailey have just served mains.
00:42:48Barramundi with potato scales.
00:42:52And scotch fillet with red wine jus and potato terrine.
00:43:00Mark really ruined our mood in the kitchen tonight during the mains.
00:43:03And now we're worried that some of the steaks are overcooked.
00:43:06More medium than medium rare.
00:43:08It's so nerve-wracking.
00:43:10We just really want to get into the semi-finals.
00:43:15Thanks guys.
00:43:15We'll call you back soon.
00:43:17I can definitely see it is more just a medium.
00:43:30I'm just not getting that nice, beautiful steak flavour, so I'm happy it was more so a fail.
00:43:47Tasting the steak, mine were just slightly overcooked.
00:43:52Definitely a step down from their octopus.
00:43:53I actually prefer both our main dishes to this one.
00:44:10Justin, you went for the barramundi with potato scales.
00:44:24What do you think?
00:44:24Um, I thought it was okay.
00:44:27It was definitely a step down from their entree.
00:44:30Our fish was probably overcooked a little bit, but I didn't mind it because it is barra.
00:44:35It is quite forgiving.
00:44:36However, the potato scales were quite undercooked.
00:44:39Not an amazing dish.
00:44:41Definitely not as good as their entree, but it was okay.
00:44:44Lol, so Mark went up, got your order, got your steak cooked for you.
00:44:48He did.
00:44:48In the meantime, cause a fire.
00:44:50Was it worth it?
00:44:51I think it was definitely worth it.
00:44:56I loved that, to be honest.
00:44:58Mark held up his head in the bargain.
00:45:00It was cooked medium well, so thank you, Mark.
00:45:03I really liked my steak.
00:45:04It had that crust on the outside, which had a little bit of a crunch to it,
00:45:07and then you got the softness.
00:45:09I don't think there's much I can fault.
00:45:11I think this dish was great.
00:45:14My steak was actually overcooked a little bit.
00:45:17The red wine dew, I would have liked it to be reduced a little bit more.
00:45:20It was a little bit too on the whiny side.
00:45:23After entree, I was feeling a little bit hopeless,
00:45:25but I feel like I'm feeling a little bit better again.
00:45:28If they kind of continue on this downward trajectory,
00:45:31I feel like we've definitely still got a chance.
00:45:35Who sits where now?
00:45:37I think Maria and Bailey are just ahead.
00:45:41Daniela Marco, do you agree with this?
00:45:43I think their entree was better,
00:45:45but I think probably both our mains were better than this.
00:45:50My area and Bailey for main course, I've chose the barramundi with potato scales,
00:45:59mediterranean vegetables, and lemon velouté.
00:46:02The fish was nicely cooked.
00:46:07The potato scales, not so much.
00:46:11Some were crispy on one side and not so cooked on the other.
00:46:16A velouté was very lemony, which goes very well with fish, so it worked very well.
00:46:22It did add a little bit of freshness and acidity to the dish.
00:46:25It was a good dish, but it could have been done a lot better.
00:46:29I think the menu was a little bit harsh with his critique.
00:46:33I think that the fact that the potato scales were not consistent.
00:46:38Like, I mean, we tried our best.
00:46:40I had the scotch fillet with red wine, jus, and potato terrine.
00:46:48It was a meat and two veg. It was a posh meat and two veg.
00:46:53The beef was a bit more medium.
00:46:56It was okay. Like, I'll eat a medium. I'm fine with that.
00:46:58The red wine jus, we were sort of getting there. We're getting there.
00:47:02The wine needed to come down a lot more because we can taste the alcohol still in the wine.
00:47:08So that sort of took away from the dish a bit.
00:47:10Maria and Bailey haven't performed as well in their main course.
00:47:13I definitely think we've got to thank Mark for that.
00:47:15I think he went up there to definitely ruffle Bailey and Maria's feathers.
00:47:18And Mark has succeeded in his plan.
00:47:20Got to send him some flowers or something.
00:47:24I feel like Mark really came up here to destroy us.
00:47:30Do you think that he put some sort of magic curse on us?
00:47:33I don't know, but I can't think anymore. I can't think straight.
00:47:37So we still need to bake the cookies. We still need to do a few things.
00:47:40And I just feel like I just can't think straight.
00:47:44We really need to do everything that we possibly can to bring out amazing desserts.
00:47:50Maria, the split tonight is that we've got three pavlovas to make
00:47:53and seven of the cooked pistachio cookie.
00:47:56Beautiful.
00:47:58For dessert two, we're making a warm pistachio cookie with vanilla bean ice cream.
00:48:06Mmm. Tastes pretty good.
00:48:07Making a cookie for the first time in the competition is definitely a huge pressure for me.
00:48:16Obviously, owning a cookie business, I feel like everyone is expecting a lot.
00:48:20It's definitely risky at this point of the competition, but we are about taking risks, right?
00:48:26Mm-hmm. So much is on the line from me and a cookie.
00:48:31I'm going to place the cookies into the oven.
00:48:35Good job.
00:48:36Everyone has been asking for a cookie.
00:48:38Can you bring me the other one too?
00:48:40So tonight, the other teams will have expectations from us.
00:48:44If we don't deliver, we're going to be on the bottom of the leaderboard behind Danielle and Marco.
00:48:49Hope for the best.
00:48:51Still to come.
00:48:56Which way will the cookie crumble?
00:48:58This is her bread and butter.
00:49:00It's so brave for Maria to put a cookie on there.
00:49:02Mess something up to potentially be going home.
00:49:05There's definitely a risk.
00:49:06Will Maria and Bailey end the night as semi-finalists?
00:49:10There is a lot riding on this cookie.
00:49:13Or will Mark solve a problem like Maria?
00:49:17It's open scoring and critiquing.
00:49:19Pretty big letdown, to be honest, with this one.
00:49:30At Medusa, Maria is hoping to deliver a dessert that lives up to her cookie queen reputation.
00:49:38It's definitely not relaxing for making cookies right now.
00:49:42It's definitely huge pressure for me.
00:49:44I feel like everyone is expecting a lot since this is something that I do every day.
00:49:51Are they not cooked yet?
00:49:53Hi.
00:49:54I don't trust your oven at all.
00:49:56I'm sorry.
00:49:57Don't apologise to me.
00:50:00I apologise to my oven.
00:50:01Oh, two more minutes.
00:50:04Okay, can we put these together?
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:10Lol and Lil, what did you order?
00:50:12We ordered the warm pistachio cookie.
00:50:14Oh, I think there's going to be a lot of riding on this for Maria.
00:50:17I think she's got to be a little bit stressed up there to make sure it's perfect.
00:50:21I'm expecting this to be pretty epic.
00:50:25I mean, this is her bread and butter.
00:50:26I'm surprised we haven't seen a cookie yet in this competition from Maria.
00:50:30I would have put a thousand cookies on the menu by now.
00:50:33So I'm expecting this cookie to be pretty show-stopping.
00:50:37I feel like it's so brave for Maria to put a cookie on there.
00:50:40We need this to absolutely fail.
00:50:43I hope that Maria burns all the cookies.
00:50:45I just hope that it doesn't go well if we've got a chance of staying in this competition.
00:50:51All right, Bailey, I'm just going to decide on which ones are going to go on plates.
00:50:56For our dessert one, we're making pavlova with bell grey canage and pink peppercorn coulee.
00:51:04Pink peppercorns, raspberry and caster sugar.
00:51:07It's just so good.
00:51:10Bailey, I'm thinking to blend the peppercorns.
00:51:13I'm not sure if everyone will have tried our flavours in this pavlova before.
00:51:19It is just such an unusual combination of different flavours that all pack their own little punch.
00:51:25But it's definitely a risk.
00:51:27My heart.
00:51:30We've all spent a lot of time with our partners travelling around, right?
00:51:34And you would have picked up on something that you didn't know about them before,
00:51:38like an annoying habit or something like that.
00:51:40I didn't know Lil was very messy, but as soon as we get somewhere,
00:51:43it's everywhere and I'm very OCD.
00:51:45Like things need to be in a spot.
00:51:47So I'm there walking over little socks and her shoes.
00:51:50I'm a spread it all out.
00:51:54Oh, do you have any?
00:51:54It's for me, it's all about his way of eating things.
00:52:00Like it doesn't slice the butter, it just digs in it, you know, like just little things like that.
00:52:05I don't know how you guys eat pies, but usually you just bite into it.
00:52:11It just splits it in half.
00:52:13Doesn't it all fall out?
00:52:15No, you rip it.
00:52:16Yeah, it does.
00:52:17And it'll pull down.
00:52:18Go for it.
00:52:20Danielle, something annoying about me that you've learned?
00:52:22I hate when you put the towel on the floor after one use, like put it back on the rack.
00:52:28I think if Marco and I make it through this competition on the road together,
00:52:33I feel like we will survive the rest of our life together.
00:52:36I feel like half of the 100k if we win is going to go to some couples counselling.
00:52:41I think about that.
00:52:46Mark, what did you order?
00:52:48Pavlova.
00:52:49What are you expecting?
00:52:51Nice and fluffy, crispy on the outside.
00:52:53So they've got Earl Grey ganache and raspberry and pink peppercorn coulee.
00:52:59So do you think it's clever?
00:53:01Do you think it's smart?
00:53:02Do you think it's inventive?
00:53:04Or do you think they should have kept to the traditional one?
00:53:07I think they definitely should have kept it towards simple.
00:53:10On paper, sounds delicious.
00:53:12But whether it works or not, they can try.
00:53:17Maria has a lot of ideas that maybe sometimes it's too much.
00:53:21And I feel like tonight's kind of not the night to do that.
00:53:24Because if you've messed something up, you'll potentially be going home.
00:53:32Okay, they look a little bit better, I must say.
00:53:35The edges are a little bit better.
00:53:38Good. Patience is a virtue.
00:53:41I mean, they smell good.
00:53:44I'm going to start piping dots of the pistachio praline.
00:53:47And Bailey, I need you to follow with the caramel.
00:53:51We are almost done for the ultimate instant restaurant.
00:53:55Can you believe it?
00:53:56I can't.
00:53:57All right.
00:53:59Caramelized pistachios.
00:54:00Are you for real?
00:54:03Are you for real?
00:54:04Stop, man.
00:54:05My God.
00:54:05Quick, react.
00:54:12Bailey.
00:54:13Bailey, are you for real, bro?
00:54:16We've already dealt with so much and I honestly cannot believe what's just happened.
00:54:23All right, Bailey, no one's going to know.
00:54:25You're going to cover it with our beautiful caramelized pistachios.
00:54:29We've got a bit more here.
00:54:32Perfect.
00:54:34All the good bits.
00:54:36All right.
00:54:36I think this is it.
00:54:37Should we go get our ice creams out?
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:40We made ice cream earlier and it's beautiful.
00:54:43I think that our ice cream is very creamy, very delightful.
00:54:48I definitely think that we have done enough tonight to stay in the competition.
00:54:54It's been hard with all the extra new challenges that came for us tonight,
00:55:00but we are competitive enough and we can win this thing.
00:55:04I'm going to pick this for Colin.
00:55:06And I'm going to pick this one for Manu.
00:55:08All right, let's do it.
00:55:09Let's go.
00:55:13Dessert is served.
00:55:40I think there's something wrong with us.
00:55:41Why did we order the cookie?
00:55:43Like, obviously, it's going to be good.
00:55:45She has a cookie shop.
00:55:46So I thought maybe we made a little bit of a mistake there.
00:55:49Like our tummy kind of made the decision instead of our brains.
00:56:01So much is on the line with this cookie.
00:56:04The stress levels are high.
00:56:06I'm so nervous.
00:56:08I mean, I own a cookie business and it will be really sad for me to hear any negative
00:56:14critique from everyone.
00:56:15In Adelaide, expectations for Maria's cookies and their pavlova dessert are sky high.
00:56:34But are there hopes for sweet success tonight about to crumble?
00:56:39We're really nervous because we just really want to get into the semifinals.
00:56:42We have had a lot of people doubt us and this is the last opportunity we're going to get to prove them all wrong.
00:56:49Thank you and we'll call you back for a final critique.
00:56:56What if it's it?
00:57:13I think it's a bit salty.
00:57:23Trying the pavlova, the earl grey, it's just a weird flavour and it doesn't go with it at all.
00:57:36Pretty big letdown to be honest with this one.
00:57:39I didn't mind the earl grey but I think it just didn't make sense on this plate with it rather be coolie.
00:57:45Yeah, it's one of those issues where it kind of looks better than it tasted for me.
00:57:49Well, look, besides the fact that she owns a cookie business, I didn't like it that much.
00:57:54I think it was a bit dense.
00:57:56Like the praline on the cookie, I don't know if that goes together because it's quite crunchy.
00:58:01Overall, not bad but not great.
00:58:04A little bit of a letdown but the flavours were nice.
00:58:06I just think I was expecting a little bit more for Maria's cookies.
00:58:09I felt like the cookie was quite nice but would have maybe liked something just a bit more chunky and moist.
00:58:16Where do you think you sit at this stage?
00:58:18I reckon it could go either way.
00:58:2062 wasn't the strongest score but I think they're going to be there thereabouts.
00:58:25For me, I feel like it's neck and neck.
00:58:27Maybe their dessert was slightly better than egg tart but only one person ordered our egg tart.
00:58:32Whereas for them, three people ordered the cookie so we'll see.
00:58:39With all three courses complete, the guest teams must now critique and score Maria
00:58:45and Bailey's ultimate instant restaurant, face to face.
00:58:49After Maria revealed that we have strategically scored in this competition, we've had a lot of
00:58:54repercussions from the other teams and this could impact the way that they score us tonight.
00:58:58I do think that some of the teams really put a target on our back.
00:59:04Maria, Bailey, thank you for having us back at your ultimate instant restaurant, Medusa.
00:59:11The thing is, we're the snakes out at the table tonight.
00:59:15Let's start with you, Justin and Will.
00:59:18I think it started off awesome. The entree was really, really good.
00:59:23And then I think it just tapered off from there.
00:59:25It wasn't bad. It wasn't great. It was okay.
00:59:28So for tonight, we give you guys a six.
00:59:32I think the six is pretty harsh.
00:59:34Lilil, you're up next.
00:59:36The entree wasn't strong. That was definitely the weakest dish of the night.
00:59:41But the main, we had the scotch fillet with red wine jus and potato terrine.
00:59:46We actually couldn't really fault that dish. We loved it.
00:59:49For dessert, we had the warm pistachio cookie.
00:59:52The flavours were there, just a little bit dry and a bit dense.
00:59:57So for this, we're giving you a six.
01:00:02That's a little bit sad.
01:00:03I was expecting maybe an eight, to be honest.
01:00:06Daniel and Marco.
01:00:09For entree, we got the octopus. This was definitely our favourite dish of the night.
01:00:13The octopus was cooked perfectly.
01:00:16For mains, we got the scotch fillet.
01:00:18With this one, my steak was cooked perfectly.
01:00:20Marco's was a little bit overdone.
01:00:23With the red wine jus, we would have maybe liked it reduced a little bit more,
01:00:26because it did have kind of a bit of a whiny taste still.
01:00:29And then for dessert, the cookie, I think, was just a little bit dry.
01:00:34The flavours were definitely there, though.
01:00:35I still think it was a pretty strong night for you guys, and we're going to score you a seven.
01:00:45Seven, yes.
01:00:46That's really lovely from Daniel and Marco.
01:00:49And considering they're at the bottom of the little ball right now, I mean, they're so cute and lovely.
01:00:57We are not cute and lovely.
01:00:58Mark is a very opinionated man, and I don't expect him to hold back tonight.
01:01:13This is the main event.
01:01:15It'd be interesting to see if he's actually going to score according to his standards,
01:01:20which is score fairly.
01:01:28It's all on the line for Maria and Bailey at Medusa,
01:01:34as the time has come for Mark and Tan to critique and score their arch rivals.
01:01:45Entrees are really strong, but main for me, let down is probably steak.
01:01:50The actual steak flavour, I don't feel was there.
01:01:53Like it wasn't caramelised very well on the outside.
01:01:55Dessert, we feel probably let you see how slightly.
01:01:59So overall, we're giving you guys a seven.
01:02:03Okay.
01:02:04Wow.
01:02:05I'm actually shocked that we got a seven from Mark and Tan, but Mark still cannot be trusted.
01:02:11He is just playing strategic game to butter us up so that we score them well for their instant restaurant.
01:02:17So that means Maria and Bailey, the guest teams have given you a grand total score of 26.
01:02:24That is one point higher than Daniel and Marco.
01:02:33Whoa.
01:02:33I must say I didn't expect it to be that close.
01:02:37We know at the end of the day, one point could be all we need to get into the semifinals.
01:02:43And now it's our turn to score each dish out of 10.
01:02:47For Entrees, we got a seven from Manu and a six from Colin.
01:02:51So we're hoping to hear one, maybe two less from the judges from Maria and Bailey tonight.
01:02:58Feta gnocchi with prawn bisque, pepper cream and Ouzo gel.
01:03:03The feta, the saltiness of that was gorgeous in there, the explosion of feta flavor.
01:03:09But the gnocchi themselves, I think, were a little bit dense or too heavy for my liking.
01:03:13The prawns were slightly overcooked, but great flavor too, well seasoned.
01:03:18So the scum giving you for your entree is a six.
01:03:23For Entrees, I had the octopus and fava with spicy salsa verde.
01:03:28The octopus was cooked beautifully. I would have loved a little bit more char.
01:03:32The puree was nice, but there was a lot of it, which sort of overpowers the dish.
01:03:38For your Entrees tonight, I score you a seven.
01:03:41Okay, okay.
01:03:44Damn, okay, so after Entrees, we're one point behind.
01:03:48For main course, I have the barmoney with potato scales,
01:03:52Mediterranean vegetables and lemon velouté.
01:03:55The fish was nicely cooked.
01:03:59The potato scales, though, is not so good.
01:04:02So the scum giving you for your main course is a six.
01:04:08So Maria and Bailey got a six for their main from Manu,
01:04:10and we got a seven.
01:04:11So we're back on track.
01:04:13We're back even.
01:04:14Let's go.
01:04:16For our main course, I had the scotch fillet with red wine,
01:04:19jus and potato terrine.
01:04:21The beef was cooked really well.
01:04:24I think we need to work on the red wine jus.
01:04:26There was more red wine than there was jus.
01:04:28That sort of overpowered everything for me.
01:04:31For your main course tonight, I score you a six.
01:04:37We got a seven from Colin, so we're currently one point ahead.
01:04:40Let's go.
01:04:41Stop the couch.
01:04:44For dessert, I chose the pavlova with Earl Grey ganache
01:04:48and a raspberry and pink peppercorn coulis.
01:04:51The meringue for me is fantastic.
01:04:53It's hard on top, chewy in the middle,
01:04:56which is what a pavlova is supposed to offer.
01:04:58That Earl Grey ganache is absolutely delicious.
01:05:02Coulis with raspberry and pink peppercorn is absolutely crazy,
01:05:06but I thought it was delicious too.
01:05:10But I don't think it all goes together.
01:05:16So the score I'm giving you for your dessert
01:05:18is a seven.
01:05:24This is cutting it really close.
01:05:26It's all going to come down.
01:05:27Tooth the cookie.
01:05:29They need to get a four.
01:05:30Marie and Bailey, for dessert, you gave me a warm pistachio cookie
01:05:35with pistachio praline caramelized pistachios and vanilla ice cream.
01:05:41I know your cookies are good because you're in business
01:05:43and you're still in business.
01:05:44The flavor was, it was beautiful.
01:05:46I really loved the caramelized pistachios,
01:05:48but I wanted a little bit of soft, gooey,
01:05:52oozy-ness in that cookie, which we didn't really get
01:05:54because it was just a lot of hard cookie.
01:05:57So for your dessert tonight, I score you a six.
01:06:03Maria and Bailey, that gives you a grand total score of 64.
01:06:11That was close.
01:06:13Oh my God.
01:06:13That was close.
01:06:14You have made it to the semifinals.
01:06:16Congrats to Maria and Bailey.
01:06:25Well deserved.
01:06:26Not the score we were hoping for,
01:06:28but we're starting to run out of chances.
01:06:30Yeah.
01:06:32With a score of 64, Maria and Bailey are third on the leaderboard
01:06:37and have booked their place in the semifinal.
01:06:40Danielle and Marco remain on the bottom,
01:06:43with only Mark and Tan left to cook in this round.
01:06:48Mark and Tan, are you feeling the pressure?
01:06:51Yeah, a little bit, man.
01:06:52But we love pressure.
01:06:53I think that's what makes us perform better.
01:06:55So bring it on.
01:06:57Well, thank you, everyone.
01:06:58See you soon.
01:06:58Thanks.
01:06:59Good luck to you guys.
01:07:00There's a little bit of pressure in the cookie class.
01:07:02We'd be very upset if we didn't get through the semifinals
01:07:06and Maria and Bailey did.
01:07:08Yeah, we'd not be happy about that.
01:07:10Thank you, guys.
01:07:12Oh, my God.
01:07:13It's burning us.
01:07:13It's burning us.
01:07:14Mark and Tan are up next, so hopefully we'll see them on the bottom.
01:07:21Okay, Bailey.
01:07:22Let's get it out.
01:07:22Are you cleaning or...?
01:07:23Um, tomorrow.
01:07:25Okay.
01:07:26Let's go.
01:07:26Let's go.
01:07:27Next time, we're in Adelaide with confident mates Mark and Tan.
01:07:36Let's get it done.
01:07:38For the final ultimate instant restaurant.
01:07:41At the end of the night, one team will be eliminated.
01:07:45There's a lot of sharks out there coming for us.
01:07:47If we don't do this, we're going to go home.
01:07:48With everything on the line, will their magical menu...
01:07:53Oi!
01:07:55This sounds absolutely delicious.
01:07:57...win the table over.
01:07:58I really, really like this dish.
01:08:02Would you be worried if you were our friends over here?
01:08:04Yes.
01:08:05We're praying for a miracle at this point.
01:08:07Or do Maria and Bailey have one final trick up their sleeve?
01:08:13Maria and Bailey might have a bit of a sour taste in their mouth.
01:08:16Their taste buds might be a little bit off tonight.
01:08:19This is definitely disappointing.
01:08:20It's rough.
01:08:22Hopefully, Mark and Tan just disappear like a magic trick.
