Dessert: Pendleton Blood Orange & Olive Oil Parfait, Campari Granita, Geraldton Wax Oil, Candied Blood Limes & Candied Sunrise Limes.
 
*Callum's entree lacked finesse because he performed several steps backward, but he managed to redeem himself with the main and dessert and he also made it to the Grand Finale.

JAMIE:
 
 
Entree: Golden Beetroot & Horseradish Pie.
 
Main: Ruby Duck, Duck Sausages, Roast Carrots, & Blackberries.
 
Dessert: Chocolate & Whisky Cremeux, Cauliflower Ice Cream & Apple & Lemon Crumble.
 
 
*No photos are available for Jamie's dishes.
 
 
Despite a strong entree, because Jamie's original unworkable ideas for the main had to be discarded and his dessert was such an epic fail, he came in last and was Eliminated.

Tonight on MasterChef was the Grand Finale for our last two contestants Laura Sharrad & Callum Hann.

 
The contest was split into 2 Rounds.
 
 
ROUND 1:
 
 
 Laura & Callum had to choose between four classic flavour combinations by using process of elimination to alternatively take away the combinations until one was left. 
 
The remaining flavour combination was potatoes and rosemary. They then had to make a dish using those ingredients. The four judges (Poh Ling Yeow, Andy Allen, Sofia Levin & Jean-Christophe Novelli) gave each of them a score out of 10, giving them a maximum possible score out of 40 for this round.

Laura was determined not to repeat past mistakes and chose to focus on the finer details. While her profiteroles were smaller, and some of her chocolate work was too thick, the judges loved her attention to detail and said she nailed most of the textures.

On the other hand, because Callum was determined to make sure every element shone, he fell way behind so he had to rush everything at the end to get as much done in the allocated time as possible. Unfortunately, while his dish had positives, it had “imperfect” elements.

 
This time, because there were five judges, our regulars and Miko, Callum & Laura were given a score out of 10, giving them a maximum possible score out of 50 for this round.
 
 
Callum SCORES:
 
 
Jean-Christophe: 7/10
 
Poh: 7/10
 
Sofia: 7/10
 
Andy: 7/10
 
Miko: 7/10
 
 
Callum was awarded 35/50 for Round 2.
 
 
Laura SCORES:
 
 
Jean-Christophe: 8/10
 
Poh: 8/10
 
Sofia: 9/10
 
Andy: 9/10
 
Miko: 8/10
 
 
Laura was awarded 42/50 for Round 2.
 
 
Therefore the total scores out of a possible 90 are:
 
 
Callum: 73/90
 
Laura: 80/90
