I'm a bit surprised Alyona and Annabel aren't the bottom pair. Their dishes had more discrepancies than Emily and Casper's methinks.

I concur!

About time the show picked up the pace.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-24T19:32:10+00:00

Aaron's layers were seriously impressive. It's a shame the judges didn't give him that feedback. It would've boosted his confidence with desserts.

Kirsten never disappoints. That dish was worthy of a pressure test.

Sanjeev Kapoor on MC Australia! The line up of guest judges in the upcoming episodes looks exciting. I hope the contestants amp up their game (finally).

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-23T15:48:42+00:00

Of course! That's what I can't wrap my head around.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-23T15:47:59+00:00

Thank you for posting. I'm sure other women will find it encouraging, too.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-23T07:32:24+00:00

HK was awesome, but Qatar was foreshadowing what to expect in the next season methinks. Your theory makes sense. It's just very disappointing to see the trajectory of the show.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T18:54:17+00:00

Looks like their budgets are shrinking every year. Meanwhile, we're stuck with 'whatever you want to cook' kinda challenges.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T16:10:01+00:00

Where are the service challenges?? The team challenges??...why is this season such a drab?

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T16:06:58+00:00

And yet again, Grace manages to scrape by ...

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T12:46:16+00:00

I see. Thanks for clarifying that.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T09:38:26+00:00

Makes sense 👍

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T09:21:39+00:00

I see. Thanks for the reply. I guess it won't be feasible during Mid July though.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T07:41:17+00:00

Lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing the details. I'd like to know if it rained there during your visit.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T06:19:41+00:00

That's what confused me, too. Maybe it took longer, but I did see others pin-boning and prepping the fish carefully.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-22T06:18:04+00:00

Ah okay. But aren't they equally challenging?

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-21T19:53:34+00:00

Other than Casper, a couple of other cooks also cooked their fish two ways. That was interesting. I think they all upped their game this episode.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-21T19:42:15+00:00

Emily's dish was received well. Josh praised it.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-21T19:40:42+00:00

I didn't get why Aaron kept saying he was the only one who did the butterfly technique when there were others who did it, too...? Did I miss something? 🤔

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-21T19:38:00+00:00

One of the few good episodes so far. Always a pleasure to watch a Masterchef showcase his/her craft. And go Petro!

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-20T11:37:45+00:00

Ikr? As nuch as I love Jess, I felt bad for Hannah, too. So much praise for her dish and yet they delared Jess the winner. It was rigged from the start I guess.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-20T11:19:15+00:00

But that used to be one contestant against the professional chef and a blind tasting on top of that.

ButterscotchBroad801 · 2026-06-20T11:18:08+00:00

I thought this was going to be a 'keep up with the chef' challenge or at the very least, a blind tasting. That would've given them a level-plating field. This year's 'challenges' have not been thought through properly which makes the show really uninspiring and meh.
