Tonight was all about the crunch. That’s it, serve up whatever you want, as long as it’s crunchy AF.
People ran with the theme. But what seemed straightforward ended up being a hurdle for half of the contestants.
The judges wouldn’t be satisfied until their damn teeth shattered, it seemed.

Straight out the gate Callum got working on chilli crab. But things got awkward when Jock reminded him people won’t actually be eating the shell, meaning the only really crunchy component of the dish was… the onion rings.
This is a crunch challenge Callum.

Well I guess Jock, you just have to crunch the crab open with your mouth. #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/a9HznY8VLf

Okay…..crab meat with onion providing the crunch.
Don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out Callum. #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/UPZE9TSWpQ— Just Sue.🇺🇦 (@SueKennedy19) May 3, 2020
Guys, if you eat the crab with the shell on it’s the crunchiest dish there. #MasterChefAU

The challenge seemed like Hayden’s to win… if it were last Sunday.
Those crunchy corn chips in the packet would come in handy right now for Hayden. #MasterChefAU

Unfortunately for him, he cooked a curry (!) in a crunch challenge (!!) and the only crunchy element on his plate were the papadams (!!!).
Indians everywhere screaming at the sight of that thick-as pappadum #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/zhjXBXzOvA

At least Kumar was pleased.
#MasterChefAU well done Hayden – making pappadums – wow! 👏🏽

Pasta obsessive Laura pretended to step outside her comfort zone with yet another dough dish, but – get this – it was fried. She called it gnocco fritto but we weren’t fooled.

The next challenge was the gooey food challenge, and it was at that moment Jock decided he’d share a certain anecdote with the contestants and us at home.

Jock ate 34 eggs? Sounds familiar. #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/TDLZB2XItc

Jock’s gloating about eggs didn’t help Dani in the gooey challenge, and she was booted, immunity pin and all.
