Andy Allen welcomes three new judges - Sofia Levin, Poh Ling Yeow, and Jean-Christophe Novelli. The contestants cook a dish that represents their 'new beginning' to impress guest judge Jamie Oliver.

The 22 contestants are thrown into their first big Service Challenge. With Jamie Oliver running the kitchen, they must feed 40 returning MasterChef Legends with a three-course meal.

`MasterChef' legend Daren Purchese returns with his toughest challenge yet, and his cherry blossom dessert pushes the novice cooks to their limits as they try to replicate it in four hours, leading to a shock elimination.

Contestants arrive at the Frankston foreshore where the judges unveil 12 team-coloured aprons for a service challenge. In two teams, contestants are tasked with elevating traditional pub food.

Nat, Gillian, Alex, and Lourdes compete against each other at Black Cat Truffles outside Ballarat. They have four hours to recreate truffle farm owner and chef Liam Downes' signature dish.

The chefs try to create a show-stopping meal using at least one of the six Asian sauces in their mystery boxes, with the bottom four moving on to the next pressure test.
