Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Nah, not gonna finish it, you get the idea.
Tonight’s elimination kicked off with the most divisive of Aussie delicacies: the meat pie.
Everyone knows which bakery cooks the best one. It’s always in some obscure country town you have to pass through on the way to visiting your weird, rural relos.
Not tonight. Tonight, the best meat pies are in the MasterChef kitchen, supposedly. Pretty specific guidelines, right? That didn’t stop everyone from making the same joke as always…

…and some new jokes too. *groans so hard my eyes roll back into skull*
Why don’t they get 3.141592654 hours to cook a pie? #MasterChefAU

Turns out there’s one thing Reynold (supposedly) can’t make: pies. He wouldn’t let the judges give him shit over that fact, either.
“Congratulations” Reynold is savage #MasterChefAU

Jock: oohhh we’ve got Reynold rattled
Reynold: congratulations
I need more of sassy Reynold… #MasterChefAU— Essa (@Quisticles) June 7, 2020
You know it’s all stars when they’re all comfortable telling the judges to get lost #MasterChefAU

It wasn’t just him. There was weird chemistry going on all over the kitchen.

That includes the judges.

Tessa poured her heart out and have a cute spiel about her nan. The judges didn’t give a shit.
They might as well have said to Tessa “Fuck, I hope your Nan did a better job?” #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/A5WkRDwMUy

I’m so confused, usually in #MasterChefAU your grans recipe sends you sailing through.

Round two: something that represents your Australia. Here we go…
“I’m making a baked bread, thinly sliced with a whipped dairy spread, marinated with a vegetable spiced yeast, served toasted. Maybe on a hibachi.” #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/ZZuywLJcSz

Bunnings snag. Brief smashed. #MasterChefAU

Can we take a moment to appreciate the very, very divergent paths of Reynold and Simon?
Reynold: My quintessial Australian dish is a cherry ripe in the shape of the Opera House
Simon: naked broccoli
I can’t #MasterChefAU

The Guardian Australia writers couldn’t make up their minds about the damn vegetable. Ill help them out: it’s gross, actually.

In the end, it was Simon and his underwhelming broccoli who was booted. Is underwhelming broccoli a redundant statement? This writer thinks so.
If this is representative of Australia no wonder we’re in the bloody state we’re in #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/xW491Zdn3Q

However, nobody could fault him on fulfilling the brief.
To be fair, over-boiled broccoli is peak Australian dinner #MasterChefAU
— Lan (@thatslantastic) June 7, 2020
Simon has given a nod to Australian culinary tradition by presenting overboiled vegetables to the judges tonight.#MasterChefAU
