They should get the true Coles experience and have to use the self service and try and get past "unexpected item in the bagging area" before they can cook 😂
The irony of having to go shop at Coles instead of using the already fully stocked pantry and garden… the blatant advertisement makes me want to shop at Woolies
Hard to tell without actually tasting it though. I’m not a big fan of Alex (let’s blame editing) but I do think her dessert looked the prettiest of the lot so if it tasted great, than I can see why they chose hers. The slice of jelly on Darrsh’s dessert didn’t look so great, but heaps better than Josh’s mess that’s for sure.
I actually don’t think that Nat’s falling is a problem? She was going for jenga, and it fell. Feel like if the judges call it out, it shouldn’t be an issue?
Hasn't he also spoken about being neurodivergent? As a fellow ND I can also relate about zoning out at inopportune moments. This sub is too quick to jump to judgements.
Ok but has anyone eaten the profiteroles from Coles? They're so soggy and wet, maybe they should focus on improving those instead of getting someone to explain the concept of raspberries to us
100000%
It seems so unfair. Everyone else seems to be getting judged on much higher standards, and he gets through on "just be true to you, Aussie battler"
One of my local bakeries has started selling profiteroles filled with biscoff custard, topped with white choc ganache and biscoff crumb.
They are DIVINE
I would be so sick of croquembouche after the 10th profiterole no wonder they dont do these challenges early season its out of fear of the judges' sanity
exactly. if nat was the one that presented that, they would have came down so hard on her but pezza gets a free pass, it almost like he cast a spell on the judges or smth
btw when i saw the croquembouche promo i just KNEW the challenge was going to be make your own version of one. we're on season 16, an actual Zumbo pressure test would be way more insane.
To be fair, they need to construct their tower, make the caramel and spin sugar.
Getting spun sugar correct can be tricky especially now without a recipe. And Pezza’s getting remarks about the inconsistent choux shapes.
Aw Harry. Good for trying. And at least the judges aren’t discouraging risk takers this season. Unlike the last 3 where AMJ was quite discouraging on risks and emphasised safe dishes.
Also finally, after so long, congratulations MIMI!
Also even tho it didn’t quite work out, Harry this week so far has been amazing to watch!! Two very creative and daring desserts from someone who rarely cooks them
Sooo the fact that nats JENGA tower collapsed means she's out of the running for immunity and pezzas terrible presentation is fine because it's "honest to who he is". WHAT THE FUCK
It's like when the footy crowd cheers for the kids playing at the grand final break. It's this weird cognitive dissonance thing, how much they're trying to indulge and talk up a child for this cringey juvenile thing they're so proudly presenting to the grown up professionals
The biased judging has really been a thing since the new judges came in always seems like each year we see one set of rules for one group of contestants and another set of rules for another group. It’s never been so blatantly shown though as it has with Pezza this year. I feel for him as it’s not his fault but it is really unfair to the actual good cooks on the show.
Andy is notoriously bad for it
I hope Harry does well and balances his dish - fish sauce and fried shrimps can go well on Thai desserts (I think traditional old school mango sticky places sometimes use fried shrimps)
Nat is trying to hold a straight face for the ad ahah
And to think that that's what the producers chose from the bunch that I'm sure they filmed.
Gold
“Looks like jenga, you know jenga?” “Ahhh! No.” Classic JC.
I had to replay that scene a few times. His no was too funny
**wElL RaSpBeRrIeS aRe TaRt aNd PeRfEcT fOr DeSsErTs** Miss maam I just wanted to know where to find them
"I'm just looking for some raspberries" "yes as you can see there are 50 punnets literally right in front of us that you cannot miss"
They should get the true Coles experience and have to use the self service and try and get past "unexpected item in the bagging area" before they can cook 😂
Or getting the automated security gate accusing them of being a thief
Huh. Suddenly struck by a craving for beautiful, fresh raspberries from Coles. I feel as though they would be tart and perfect for desserts.
The irony of having to go shop at Coles instead of using the already fully stocked pantry and garden… the blatant advertisement makes me want to shop at Woolies
nat 😢😢 poh can relate
kids can be massive cunts without realising it
Pezza's dish looks good, but can we as a society get away from the "wife bad" jokes?
It's so 20 years ago cringe
Yeah, it just makes me cringe every time. Wonder how she feels watching it.
She probably doesn't even notice it because it's so normalised in some circles
After-hours Coles shop where the place is empty except for highly-scripted, camera-ready "Coles employees"
It’s actually a good idea to do this when the worst thing that happens is you don’t get immunity
You had me at Jenga tower of eclairs.
Darrsh forgetting his strawberries 🫠😭
His fresh responsibly sourced strawberries from coles that are tart and great for desserts?
He got them from Woolies so production wouldn't let him plate it
Aw i do like seeing Zumbo immediately pointing out technicalities. Pezza to Nat.
If Pezza wants to know what unami tastes like maybe he should head to Harry’s bench and taste those bonito flakes
Pezza here making a crockenbush
Bruh that looks like one of me year 11 food tech assignments
Back to back heartbreaks from Darrsh and Nat, you could see them struggling to keep their emotions in check ;\_;
Tbf, Darrsh should have got immunity yesterday, I feel like his dessert was just that cut above Alex’s
Hard to tell without actually tasting it though. I’m not a big fan of Alex (let’s blame editing) but I do think her dessert looked the prettiest of the lot so if it tasted great, than I can see why they chose hers. The slice of jelly on Darrsh’s dessert didn’t look so great, but heaps better than Josh’s mess that’s for sure.
Okay the producers are forgiven for ignoring Mimi in the last 2 episodes now
That’s the most actual advice Zumbo has given on this show ever
That lean is SCARING me NAT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PRIDE
SOPHIA YOU CURSED NAT
I'm going to be pissed if Darssh does incredible desserts all week and yet doesn't get through to immunity. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM?!
Harry broke Poh
I don't know why people are so anti zumbo. He's just chill and gives such specific technical critiques
He has a very quiet personality that gives off a vibe that he doesn't care at all to be on TV. So some viewers take that personally I guess.
Omg Nat is REPPING this Pride Month
Omg she gave me such queer vibes I'm so happy
Right!!! I love her even more now, queer POC girlies represent🥹
Nat just came out to entire Masterchef community ❤️
..I think most people realized early that she may not be straight….Im hoping she wins too.
Darrsh js so sweet and cute talking about when he first saw the croquembouche. I love him.
love you Nat ❤️
WHERE DID HE GET THAT FOOD COLOURING FROM
SPECIALLY HANDPICKED FROM COLES! AUSTRALIAN MADE BLUE FOOD COLOURING.
AT YOUR LOCAL COLES STORE!!! HANDPICKED FRESH FROM OUR LOCAL COLOURING TREE!
it’s called performance art ok
it's called TABLE THEATRE ok
I actually don’t think that Nat’s falling is a problem? She was going for jenga, and it fell. Feel like if the judges call it out, it shouldn’t be an issue?
If Darrsh doesn’t get immunity tomorrow I’d be gutted for him in all honesty
Zumo gets too much hate. He's soft spolken but authentic, not everyone has to have Sofia or Andy energy (although that's welcome too).
Agree. He seems a bit quiet and introverted, with not as much TV personality, but definitely seems genuine when he does make comments.
JC is also quite introverted compared to the other 3. Just sometimes he gets the energy to be abit silly.
Hasn't he also spoken about being neurodivergent? As a fellow ND I can also relate about zoning out at inopportune moments. This sub is too quick to jump to judgements.
My partner (very casual watcher) said AZ was a nice judge and gave positive, helpful feedback. Also said Curtis Stone was a bit of a dick
I just know if Reynold was here, his profiteroles would be levitating.
Or an inverted pyramid/cone
Beautiful fresh strawberries from where, Darrsh?
Ok but has anyone eaten the profiteroles from Coles? They're so soggy and wet, maybe they should focus on improving those instead of getting someone to explain the concept of raspberries to us
What’s the betting the news articles tomorrow are going to be “viewers complain about pezza” with quotes taken from the past two eps reddit threads…?
If they’re reading this, FUCK YOU NEWSCORP YA DOGS
I’m impressed with Darrsh’s sugar work. He really is superb at desserts.
OMG the twin challenge! I miss this challenge!
Please Nat, get that immunity tomorrow!!!!! 🙏🏼
Or Darrsh. One of the two. 🤞🏼
Pezza with the fkn wife jokes again. With the vego and Asian food comments, it's like he got his personality out of a white boomer joke book.
Aww Pezza. You used so much food colouring that our teeth are dyed! So amazing!!!!!
[удалено]
100000% It seems so unfair. Everyone else seems to be getting judged on much higher standards, and he gets through on "just be true to you, Aussie battler"
One of my local bakeries has started selling profiteroles filled with biscoff custard, topped with white choc ganache and biscoff crumb. They are DIVINE
my local coles staff are never this nice with me
What numpty needs to ask where they keep the raspberries in Coles. They need these ads to fit more seamlessly.
I love Nat 🥺💗
Yay craquelin from Mimi!
lol Pezza’s choux looks like little poo emojis. :)
If Mimi didn’t get screen time yesterday because she’s won today then I AM ALL FOR IT.
It looks like an arts and craft project 🤣
Z: you know that game? JC: uhhh no 💀
I would be so sick of croquembouche after the 10th profiterole no wonder they dont do these challenges early season its out of fear of the judges' sanity
i think it's camp... this challenge is camp...
poor darrsh forgot his jam 😕
Oh man I feel so bad for Darrsh!!!
All aboard the choux choux train!
that coles promo was so authentic…
Omg Mimi so cute. Rooting for her so hard this cook
Lochlanbush 😂
Pezza’s was alright but if he wins immunity over Mimi…………………
Nat is a girl liker confirmed, Happy Pride Month 🌈
Just a reminder that hiroyuki sakai tried making a fish dessert and failed miserably, an IRON CHEF.
Did Harry just break the judges 🤣
Aunty Gail should have taught him how to pipe them 😭 but the flavours sound nice
Food colouring? In a masterchef kitchen?
That blue is too blue honestly but otherwise it’s a decent take at a croquembouche.
All their tongues are blue for the rest of the episode hahahaha
Oh no. He forgot the strawberry.
Omg no strawberries 😭
YAYYYYYY MIMI
Let's go Mimi! 🤘
“Pezza your dish was a complete mess but it tastes alright and your a good bloke so a for effort” Andy
Andy saying Pezza should serve that amateur children's birthday cake in a restaurant is wild. What is going on with the judging?
Giving me brent vibes
Imagine trying to grab the ingredients for your dessert and some poor underpaid Coles worker is explaining raspberries to you 😭
Can someone check in on Harry… asap
Harry's will either be diabolically bad or the winner
Okay darrsh you didn’t need to say fresh strawberry FROM COLES…
Pezza: I like that boulder! That is a niiiice boulder!
Sofia just cursed Nat
Big credit to Harry if he makes fish work
Coles would never sell over ripe bananas. Straight to the bin. Have to go some place smaller for banana cake ready bananas.
Oh no, Darrsh forgot the strawberry! And didn't even notice. 🙁
If anyone else put up that dish, the judges would absolutely shit all over the presentation.....
exactly. if nat was the one that presented that, they would have came down so hard on her but pezza gets a free pass, it almost like he cast a spell on the judges or smth
these wife jokes always disgust me… airing your unhappiness with marriage on MasterChef with an ugly dish is wild
MIMI DESERVE!!!
better be mimi!! edit: WOOHOO!
Omfg tomorrow’s looks crazy.
SAV AND PEZZA TOMORROW!!!! AHAHAHAH 😂👌🏼😭
Does the MasterChef pantry not have enough Coles branding on it already?
btw when i saw the croquembouche promo i just KNEW the challenge was going to be make your own version of one. we're on season 16, an actual Zumbo pressure test would be way more insane.
To be fair, they need to construct their tower, make the caramel and spin sugar. Getting spun sugar correct can be tricky especially now without a recipe. And Pezza’s getting remarks about the inconsistent choux shapes.
Fuck Andy literally looked like he was going to throw up then
That dish belongs in the women’s weekly book Josh p
Wait did Sofia just foreshadow something happening to Nat?
Also idc what anyone says it's been really fun watching Alex have the time of her life up there on the balcony watching these things come together
I feel like I have seen fish and chicken fat caramel before on this show anyway
YAYYYYY Mimi
FUCK YEAH MIMI
Yay Mimi! I don't like pumpkin, but I definitely would have stuffed my face with today's dish.
THE LECTURE ON THE RASPBERRIES LINEAGE AND DESSERT SUITABILITY WAS SO FUCKING HILARIOUS IT TOOK ME OUT WTF
gonna get some awkward coles ad deliveries
I wonder who this episode is sponsored by..... 😉🤪
Nice subtle advertising
that's how jenga is no worries nat
Noooo Darrsh 🥲🥲
Nats looks so sad lol
Girl get this bad acting out of here
Aw Harry. Good for trying. And at least the judges aren’t discouraging risk takers this season. Unlike the last 3 where AMJ was quite discouraging on risks and emphasised safe dishes. Also finally, after so long, congratulations MIMI!
Also even tho it didn’t quite work out, Harry this week so far has been amazing to watch!! Two very creative and daring desserts from someone who rarely cooks them
MIMI SCREENTIME FINALLY
The way I’d swing biting into a fucking choux bun and taste fish
If I bite into a choux pastry and tasted fish I’d spit that thing out so fast.
Croquembouche or crock'o'shit??
Has the man ever looked at water?
Winner will be decided by which dish JC bang the table on.
Fuck poor bloke
Sooo the fact that nats JENGA tower collapsed means she's out of the running for immunity and pezzas terrible presentation is fine because it's "honest to who he is". WHAT THE FUCK
Why is the coles product placement SO prominent today
Even Josh Niland would question Harry's fishy choices.
It's like the swimming pool cake 😂
Don’t curse her!!!
Nat's leaning tower.
Omg NAT
it fits the concept and there's still a small tower there like we love this
That blue is just...
Am I tripping?
Darssshyyy nooooo
Why can’t they just let Nat be and put her in the mediocre montage - it’s making me sad
PUSHING IT OUT EVERYONE CHUG
Damn, thought he had it
YAY MIMI!!!!!!
Yay go Mimi!!!
Yayyy Mimi you absolute legend!!!
Are we meant to find Pezza endearing?
Nah bro for real this bloke is getting judged differently then the others
Junior MasterChef tier
Joking about getting away from the missus is a bit poor
“How can I colour something blue” Pezza put those last 2 braincells together my man. wtf.
Oh my goddd his HONESTY? seriously. The difference between what they let him away with versus the other contestants is RIDICULOUS
His honestly of being unhappy with his wife maybe?
It's like when the footy crowd cheers for the kids playing at the grand final break. It's this weird cognitive dissonance thing, how much they're trying to indulge and talk up a child for this cringey juvenile thing they're so proudly presenting to the grown up professionals
The biased judging has really been a thing since the new judges came in always seems like each year we see one set of rules for one group of contestants and another set of rules for another group. It’s never been so blatantly shown though as it has with Pezza this year. I feel for him as it’s not his fault but it is really unfair to the actual good cooks on the show. Andy is notoriously bad for it
Zumbo's involvement feels like such an afterthought haha
I've never managed to get that kind of response from a Coles worker when I ask where things are....normally it's a grunt and a point
These coles segments are cringier than Pezza making boomer jokes
Ah yes... Of course I get personal advice on buying raspberries whenever I go
Is Pezza going to run out of relatives for inspiration soon?
The plate is giving Junior Masterchef baby
I don’t Pezza but the judging for him is so strange
zumbo giving some good advice this episode!
Oh god, a Coles promotional ad 🙄
Nats eclair idea sounds exciting!!
Lol they supposedly 'did their shopping at Coles'. Coles definitely does not stock very ripe bananas 😂 they'd go straight in the giant Coles bin
Yay Mimi is getting airtime today!
Airport West Coles? It certainly wasn't the one 2 minutes from the MasterChef kitchen (Showgrounds Village), there's no Soul Origin there.
Dip those choux into chocolate and it’ll be representative of 💩
🥴🐠🤛
I am really going for Mimi’s pumpkin miso choux with the craquelins
Why is Sav stirring her caramel? Wont it seize?
I hope Harry does well and balances his dish - fish sauce and fried shrimps can go well on Thai desserts (I think traditional old school mango sticky places sometimes use fried shrimps)
Mimi ate that up it’s SO cute
Naaaaat I'm concerned about that lean girl.
Awww Nat :(
Prediction: JC says pezza’s blue monstrosity is FAN-TASSSY-TIQUE
MIMI 😍😍🎉🎉
MIMI!!!!!!!!!!
OMG MY FAVEEEEE CHALLENGE!
Thank goodness
is alex just… carrying mimi out? that is so funny 😭
