The 1st place would cook against 4th place, while 2nd would cook against 3rd. Manu and Pete would be the one giving points to each dish. The first test was a rapid cook off and would be their last and they only have 30 minutes The key ingredient was chosen by the jury and was chilli. Tonight only one person could cook each dish for 15 minutes and then swap – while the other was cooking, the partner could not watch what the other was making. Leigh, Nic, Megan, and Carly were the first ones to cook. While, Jennifer, Rocco, Andy, and Emily were the last ones to cook and were the one that was going to plate-up. After round 1 Carly & Emily took first place. For round 2, the only limit the teams were given was their own imagination. The dish needed to show their skills, techniques and capabilities in 1 and a half hours. After the end of the two rounds, Jennifer & Leigh came in first with 37 points and would be taking on Megan & Andy who came in fourth with 31 points for the first semifinal. In the second semifinal it would see Carly & Emily who came in second with 36 points taking on third place Nic & Rocco with 34 points.
