The 24 contestants enter the MasterChef kitchen and are greeted by legendary chef Gordon Ramsay. When they get over the shock he tells them will be here for the entire week to mentor them through the first stage of the competition. He introduces the new judges and a new era of the competition begins, with everyone extremely excited to start the first cook.

It's day two of Gordon Week and today is a service challenge day with Gordon Ramsay himself running the pass. Gordon praises their efforts from yesterday, saying that he tasted some of the best food Australian has to offer right here in the MasterChef kitchen.

It's day three of Gordon Week and the winning team from yesterday's service challenge are back to cook. Today, the challenge is a Round Robin Relay. In teams of three, they have 60 minutes to create a cohesive menu, including an Entrée, Main, and Dessert. Each team member will start on a course, but every 20 minutes they swap places so they all have a turn on each course.

Lynton, Sarah Clare and Callum delivered the best menu in yesterday's team challenge and now have a chance to win immunity from the first elimination. However, one huge obstacle stands in their way - keeping up with Gordon Ramsay.

Every contestant is up for elimination, except the winner of Thursday's immunity challenge.The pressure mounts for all contestants to deliver delicious dishes and keep their place in the competition.

The contestants were presented with a Mystery Box containing 8 ingredients (milk, wattle seeds, thyme, hazelnuts, parsnip, ribeye beef, caulini (a broccolini and cauliflower hybrid and prickly pear). They were given 75 minutes to cook a sweet dish and a savoury dish using all eight ingredients across the two dishes.
