blue salmon being cooked to order..... gordon not happy,, salmon is ready get it out says Chloe
oh no said Gordon when he checks the salmon it is raw, not for me.. but as hub said it is for normal people ha ha

krisitin notes how far behind they are and i worried for her dessert

salmon goes to judges.. they think it is basic but t hen agree the skin is perfect.. gutzy said it is rare ( it is perfect for me) gaz says his is over, cravat is perfectly cooked.

red team dessert gordon says four at a time. gordon yells at Jenny put t he tray down a nd work with both hands

dessert goes to judges......maybe a bit small they think icecream texture is good. gutzy is loving it..... cravat seems to enjoy it..... gutzy said it is smart when doing 50 covers, not a huge amount of process

[Mistyavalon]

so red seems to have all the desserts done too

how are the blue doing.... Kristin and Aldo leading the charge
the judges get it and love the look of it and adore the taste of it......
so who is going to be safe and which team is up for elim.

red is safe...dishes not perfect...... blue got a lot of praise but lost out mainly
because of disorganisation and the fact that the salmon was so unevenly cooked

[Mistyavalon]

so immunity pin and an elimination...

blue team is up

loki has a pin does he play it and stay safe or have a go.... he has a go

gordon sends one of his head chefs to set the test
it is a roast chook with summer vegies.. with a twist... there is mousse involved... green herb consomme............ looks beautiful

they get to taste it
he warns then not to break the skin on the chook.. the mousse must stay in place

thre are seven pages of the recipe

[Mistyavalon]

3 hours to recreate
dish least like Matt;s bye bye

damn it looks good. hub is watching intently as he asks.. do you think you would like this.. yes please

matt checks techniques... some are really good, some too coarse...

Chloe is powering along being mindful about the skin
Ben feels good aobut it cos of his butchering skills
samira advises kristin how to get the wishbone out....
ben's looks good.....

chloes is now slowing down and is freaking out over the skin

[Mistyavalon]

she is in real trouble with it.. Gutzy comes up to help
jo is going okay
loki has cut himself
ben and nona seem to be okay with piping the mousse under the skin.... then it is wrapped and into the water bath

Chloe's is not looking good at all seems to have less mousse
Jo is now moving onto the consomme.. she says she should be fine if she follows the recipe
Loki seems to be making a stew rather than caramelising

[Mistyavalon]

you know how it goes....... some doing good other struggling

Jo seems to be doing the best... Ben is doing well enough

Jos chook does look good.. and so do the vegies....

others... haven't cut it yet// sarah worried it is overcooked

lokis looks like a terrible mess and is very behind...now he spills his consomme

and time is up
chloes doesnt have enough mousse

Jo is up and the judges are very impressed with how it looks as they eat it they love it

nonas looks pretty good too and it eats well they say

Aldo has miles of mousse.... but it is tasty

chloe the note the lack of mousse.. it doesn't look like the nicest plated dish either..cravat says is it as overcooked as it looks? consomme is water, flat

Ben's looks great .... they comment on how well he is doing and then they try it. eats as well as it looks

kristins is fine

Samira again lovely

Sarah..... too much colour on vegies... they try it.... it is overcooked consomme is nice

next Loki.. oh dear chook dry concomme boring vegies rushed herbs are nice

bens was so good it could have been served in gordons restaurant dish of the day went to Jo

sarah chloe and loki get called up

alas for Loki his was the worst.. and he leaves with an immunity pin

[Mistyavalon]
