Savindri Perera

Aspiring chefs draw their weapons for a culinary showdown judged by world-renowned experts. At the end of a series of challenges, there remains a survivor who is crowned the best in Australia.

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.

After watching an emotional video documenting their MasterChef journeys, the chefs must create a dish that best represents who they are now as they come back to win.

It's the first pressure test of the series - and it's a big one. Guest judge Kirsten Tibballs has created a dessert so special that it will require a Midas touch to master it.

The cooks must work at record pace all through a Keeping Up with Gordon challenge to deliver two of his dishes as they compete for the only immunity pin of the season.
