Excellent season so far. Really looking forward to the Hong Kong trip which they last did in season 1.

No sweet challenges please when they do it. We have that nice bloke who is nice but has he even cooked a Savoury dish?
The last couple of nights have been fun. The 30-minute meal challenge was obviously designed to appeal to the audience at home: something they could cook themselves rather than a 5-hour re-creation of a super-chef's recipe with 653 different steps.
And last night's surprise elimination bacon and eggs was a laugh. Watching the contestants make bacon and egg cake/ice cream/whatever with nitrous oxide and smoke was pretty funny. Although the mystery prize for the winner was lame and totally predictable. The contestants may not have known they were going to Hong Kong(*), but we did. The screen advertised "Hong Kong week" the entire bloody show. So of course the winner got business class tickets. They did that a few seasons ago too IIRC.
(*) Except the contestants would have been told to bring their passports along. And Josh, who's allegedly never left Tasmania, would have had to apply for one.

Yeah I'm sure that they did that previously. Looking forward to Hong Kong week.
Also must say that I'm surprised at how far Josh "Pezza" has progressed. Could be a smoky. Like Julie he is very good at following a recipe.

As long as Sav doesn’t win please talk about the most one dimensional cook ever. Has she ever not cooked a curry?

Something Sri Lankan almost every single dish. Very limited.

Should never have been let back in
It’s just cook a curry…some sob story
Oh yay it’s great
Spare me,
The one that went home last night at least tried to cook things outside her area
That was the same with that Sashi guy or whatever his name was that won. Fish curry after fish curry

Yep that was an annoying year this one is worse though
Last night's elimination was interesting. I can't believe that two of them picked the world's smelliest cheese as their core ingredient. And that Josh didn't get eliminated for making a smelly cheese steak sandwich. Mimi's mega-bitter dish must have tasted pretty bad to be beaten by that.
No surprises Sav nailed it with the world's hottest pepper. Anyone who's had Sri Lankan food knows that they delight in lighting bonfires in each others stomachs.

Mimi didn’t use the Hero ingredient at all throwing bits on a kimchi does not count. She didn’t tame the beast so to speak I don’t care that her bread thing didn’t work she should have known that was the challenge. At least Josh tried to do it.

Josh is a wolf in sheep's clothing in the context of the competition. He didn't even try to hide his anger when he lost to Nat the night before. I agree too, his dish was much better than Nat's mountain of bone marrow.

I would have much preferred Nat's dish, bone marrow done well is remarkable cooking and it tastes epic. She's a much better cook too.
I always enjoy the "cook what you want challenges" like last night's.
No surprises though: Harry cooked fish, Sav cooked a curry and Josh cooked meat. All playing to their strengths. I knew Nat was in trouble when she said she was doing lamb shanks in only 90 minutes. I may not be a masterchef, but I do know that the longer you cook a shank, the better.
One thing this season has missed is a gun dessert specialist. I reckon someone from past seasons like Reynold would blow the remaining four out of the water on a dessert challenge. It'll be interesting to see how the finale goes, given it almost always features an impossible 153 step re-creation of someone else's fancy dessert.

Another Sr Lankan curry, how many more can she do?

She's probably made it like a 1000 times. I'm sure it was tasty but it was very rustic and not nearly as refined as Josh or Harry's dishes.

I think Lourdes was a dessert specialist. Not sure if she was a gun though as she was eliminated early.

They love her we all saw it with the rubbish decision to bring her back. lets cook a million curry's whinge about something about what her mother did...on repeat. Anyone but Sav winning please, will do as well as the other one that won a few years back, at least he was inventive
Poor Harry Hazza, goes home on a fish dish. I'd like to see a dessert challenge next, I reckon that's a weak spot for the remaining three. In fact, I'll settle for any challenge that doesn't allow Sav to cook a Sri Lankan curry.

Nat dodged a bullet and probably should have gone IMO. Her fish was almost raw. Harry choked sadly.
Also why is there no opening theme this season?

Least she tried to cook the whole dish, if you were served what Harry did in a restaurant you'd demand a refund, it was 1/4 of the fish!

Can't wait for another curry tonight, spare me, hope Sav doesn't win
...and Sav is gone. About time. She was a one-dimensional cook who could only cook curries. A proper dessert challenge would have sent her packing (again!) weeks ago.
I suppose they were always going to bring Curtis Stone back but he turns me off completely with his constant shilling of Coles.

I’ll take Pezza winning if it means Sav won’t
