The contestants had to make a dip with a topping and something to eat the dip with, bread, chips and so on.
The Top 4 dishes were made by Alyona, Pat, Petro & Vinnie.

The judges were looking for the Bottom 4 dishes to go into tonight's Elimination.
The Bottom 4 dishes were made by Aaron, Emily, Grace & Luke.
Aaron made Seafood Curry Laksa Dip & Roti. His roti was undercooked and the dip had a harsh texture due to the roughness of the macadamias. His roti was undercooked because he dropped his dough on the floor and couldn't serve food under that circumstance, so he tried to make a second batch and failed because of lack of time.
Emily made a Thai Curry Dip, Fried Salt-Pepper Squid & Wonton Wrappers. The dip had more of a sauce consistency and the squid was too chunky and too chewy.
Grace made a Labneh & Beetroot Dip, Tuna Tartare, Pickled Beetroot & Potato Chips. The chips were too thin, the tuna didn't really have a taste, and the dip lacked complexity. Had she not burned her beetroot and tried to substitute canned beetroot, the dip would have had the desired flavour.
Luke made Beetroot & Goat Cheese Dip, Spiced Lamb, Dukkah & Roast Potatoes. The roast potatoes being too chunky did not belong with the dip in any way shape or form. He should have made chips instead. The beetroots also did not cook properly which affected the taste and texture.

Emily mixed the cocoa powder in with the chocolate (she wasn't meant to do that) so she had to remake that step. Otherwise, she did fairly well overall.
Grace left the gelatine out of one of her elements. She also put the entremet in the regular freezer instead of the blast chiller. She left half the sugar out of her sponge. She already had the cake in the oven so remaking it wasn't an option, she thought she could fix this by adding extra sugar into the mousse element. Also, her cremeux was a goopy runny mess affecting the layers inside the cake. She made the most mistakes of all.
Luke forgot to take the acetate plastic off his chocolate. He was doing so well up until that point! Almost perfect. However he fixed this mistake and managed to complete and reassemble all his elements. The judges were impressed with the quality of his entremet.

Tuesday appears to be a challenge set by Judge Jean-Christophe - judging by the coloured aprons, I am assuming it is a team challenge of some kind, or perhaps a team service challenge.

Orange Team (Casper & Emily) - Chateaubriand, Black Garlic & Parsnip Puree, Kohlrabi, Green Apple & Fennel Salad. The steaks were both under seasoned and undercooked (they should have used a glaze) and the ratios of some of the elements were just not on the same level. Also, Emily forgot to take her salad out of the ring (although a minor issue).

Light Blue Team (Aaron & Vinnie) - Crab & Black Garlic Linguine. What they called "linguine" was actually fettuccine. The size ratios were not identical, but the flavours redeemed them. Aaron's sauce was more mellow and Vinnie's was more robust.

Light Green Team (Alyona & Annabel) - Black Garlic Ice Cream, Beetroot Caramel, Cashew & Biscuit Crumb & Pickled Green Apple. Annabel's ratio of biscuit and cashew was more evenly incorporated than Alyona's, while Alyona used more of the caramel than Annabel did.
