This is it. The final twist of Twist Week. After tonight, we’re done. We never have to think of this cursed week ever again.
It was a night of pasta, hibachi grills and alien desserts. Ahh, we’re finally back to normal.
Straight off the bat: Ben’s gone! Is that the final twist? All Jock would say is that he’s gone for “personal reasons”.

Ahh, here’s the real twist. It’s a double goddamn elimination. As if taking Amina away from us wasn’t enough this week. Ugh.
Anyway, everyone was paired up to battle it out over a different cuisine. There was Chinese, French, Vietnamese, Spanish, American, you name it. One pair even got Italian… but it wasn’t Laura, who ended up with Japanese.
Laura right now not getting Italian JOCK HOW DARE YOU #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/v2uwFPDUpq

Oh and look. Reynonld is making an insane apple pie from the future. And it looks fucking amazing.
OF COURSE Reynold is making blown sugar because sllle pie is just too basic for him #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/YqkImGfZu1

Where does King Reynold even whip out the equipment to blow sugar? Should I have one of these? Is this the new Hibachi… #MasterChefAU

Just want someone to pump me with the way Reynold pumped that sugar ball #MasterchefAU
— no more hibachi grills!!! (@chefsofcolour) May 17, 2020
And the judges understandably lost their shit, including Andy who literally screamed “SUGAR BOWL BLOWN LIVE!”

The judges were in a weird damn mood tonight.
Andy: ‘you musta eaten some Chinese in ya time aye haydo?’ Some real Chinese cuisine experts here. #MasterChefAU
— Bec (@becmatilda) May 17, 2020
Did Andy panic after Melissa used the term ‘gossamer thin’ and felt the need to step his pussy up with the bogansplaining?! “That was like, yum cha me up mate, get in my mouth, yeah bro..” #MasterChefAu
— Em Rusciano (@EmRusciano) May 17, 2020
WHY DOES MELISSA TOUCH THE FOOD WITH HER NAILS. It’s really bothering me. #MasterChefAU
— ViVi B (@ViVi_RFObsessed) May 17, 2020
Omg the contrast between Melissa’s critique and the way she describes food and Andy’s lack of vocabulary is just outstanding. #MasterChefAu

After the challenge, when the *actual* judging was taking place, Hayden let slip a cute anecdote which deserves its own spin-off series, tbh.
We need to see Hayden cooking in his undies as nature intended #MasterChefAU
— Kiera (@UnderYourPorch) May 17, 2020
Secretly would love to see Hayden cook in his undies #masterchefau
— Rachael Langsford (@drdragonfly1) May 17, 2020
Hayden cooking in his undies for Brendan and Reece sure is a mental image that evokes… something. #MasterchefAU

And now, the dish we’ve all been waiting for. It’s Reynald vs. Sarah.
What have you made?
Reynold: Created a small universe with its own laws and economy #MasterChefAU— A (@heapzgood) May 17, 2020
Reynold started with apple pie as a concept and ended up with a terrarium. #MasterChefAU
— Sir Kumference (@sirkumference) May 17, 2020
Poor Sarah didn’t stand a chance.
Sarah’s thinking “are you fkn serious” #MasterChefAU
— ⋆ lily (@llilymartin) May 17, 2020
Reynold: I’ve made a deconstructed apple pie and blown a sugar ball
Sarah: I cooked chimken with raw vegmables (that’s my dog talking)#MasterChefAU— Andrew McCarthy (@mreeyore) May 17, 2020

So Reynold makes art that could appear in the MOMA and they judges will probably pick fucking wings #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/lp9kf2HIHa

The final twist is: there’s no twist. People can more or less cook whatever the heck they want ‘cos here are so many ingredient choices.

And straight out the gate, Laura grabs a basket full of basil and pasta to make, you guessed it, pasta.

Suddenly, Hayden whips out a fkn hibachi grill. Somehow this is the most chaotic yet most predictable move of the night. It seems everyone had the same idea.

2nd Hibachi
Drink! Drink!#MasterChefAU— Peter (@Doonks) May 17, 2020
Hibachi grill mentioned. Double drink.
— Adrian Lowe (@AdrianLowe) May 17, 2020
But it was the hibachi which had the last laugh. Hayden was booted.

Let’s end our night with a thought from Khanh, as is tradition.
No one, no one at all.
Reynold: I got American so I’m making a sugar bubble.
I wish I even knew how to do that #MasterChefAU— khanh (@khanhong) May 17, 2020
Don’t we all?
