MasterChef recap: It's the battle of the prawns but only one curries favour Ben Pobjie Photo: Supplied It's Beat the Brigade Week on MasterChef, which means today the amateurs must defeat the Fire Brigade, tomorrow the Girls' Brigade, and on Wednesday the Fifth Armoured Brigade. Wait, no, it's something much more mundane: they just have to beat the staff of famous restaurants. Well, when I say "famous"…if you live in Melbourne you might've heard of them. The amateurs, still shaken by Conor's exit and the realisation that it is possible to make an ice-cream so awful that even MasterChef judges won't enjoy it, arrive at the kitchen to find the judges standing…OUTSIDE the building? WHAAAAAAAT? The amateurs are stunned by this shock twist. As if that wasn't enough, suddenly a whole bunch of professional chefs walk into the garden. They stand there intimidating the amateurs with their low pay and post-traumatic stress disorder.
