Go Ana -i hope she wins,where in the rules did it say -you are not allowed to trade,they used their heads .i think those 2 girls did a great swap.

They have always been told that anything they did not remember to get from the pantry they would have to do without.and many have made good recoveries from their forgetting.

Exactly, I was shouting at the telly, she should have said and which rules say I can't swap, it happens all the time in these competitions.
They are all worthy so anyone could have gone home yesterday I actually think overall standard is a tad low this year with no one really standing out.

exactly what i reckon they cant do in the masterchef kitchen so it should stand for everywhere

Yes The Ladies should have been Disqualifed & sent home & Left Brenton & Tony to Cook off between each other. The Ladies Broke The Rules.

Put yourself in Tony's shoes - other competitors gaining an advantage bybasically cheating -with $100K at stake what would you do! Would you dob them in!Would you break the rules( cheat) to win! Is it better to lose without being a snitch ( remembering thatcould cost you $100K). Of course he was right to dob them in - it was very unfair on him and Brenton. The producers probably didn't mind - it added a bit of drama to the show.

I'm curious as to how they paid for their goods at the market. as we often see them handing over money. Ana just took that squid when she was not given assistance. At the time I thought she must have been dobbed in by the camerman.

Do you not remember the final of last years masterchef. We might have thought that Jax was the better cook, but all of her biscuits fell off the large tower that they had to make and Nardia's stayed on.

We are all good up here, I'll keep that in mind next time I am down that way. Cheers Buddy.

I have to disagree. Jax is a home cook and always will be. She doesn't have the flair, temperament or cool head to be a chef. So she will always be relegated to presenting Countdown commercials with Brent (who will also never make it to the commercial kitchen & be a chef). Brenton, on the other hand, has the goods to make it. Good on him for not hesitating at the chance to learn to become a cheffy.

hmm I wondered why the lady didnt serve her! bit wierd. AND I expected the two females to be eliminated. Thats what should of happened!Under the circumstances and so much $$ at stake, baldy (sorry cant remember his name) was right to say something. very unfair of the two women. AND that Ana denied til confronted. tut tut.

Ana has stated on her FAcebook page that she DID infact pay for the squid and the lady serving was too shy of the cameras which is why she didnt come forward.Yet more careful editing for our screens,methinks!

Not so sure, Brenton did something similar last week, he didn't have ingredients for 4 salads so used his garnish herbs to make salads, they all raved on how innovative he was and that in a professional situation the same thing would be done, slightly different with the girls but surely the same reasoning could be applied to them, yet they got told off and Brenton got praised.

I don't think that was similar at all.The whole competition would change completely if contestants were allowed to raid each other's pantries.
Swapping ingredients with a competitor for mutual benefit because you forgot to get them is light years away from making do in a creative way with what you're stuck with through forgetting.

It was the oddest episode - the girls were caught cheating, one of them even tried to deny it, the guy seemed to be 'set up' to report them and then the Brenton was sent home.
tigerlilly16,

The poster I was replying to said they thought if the guys had done a swap they would have been treated more harshly than the girls were. I was merely pointing out that I don't think so, based on Brentons treatment over that incident. I acknowlege the situations were different.
