| '''{{nowrap|Smoke and Mirrors Mystery Box Elimination Challenge}}''' - The chefs other than Christy were given two-and-a-half hours to make a deceptive dessert. Jana's [[Vegemite]] jar, Alisha's carrot cake with white chocolate cabbage leaves and Darren's avocado toast, which was deemed his best dish so far in the competition, were the top three and safe. The bottom three were Donato, Katherine and Reece. Donato's optical illusion for his dessert was not affected as it could have been. Katherine's desert lime sandcastle cheesecake was bland.

The bottom three were Donato, Katherine and Reece. Donato's optical illusion for his dessert was not affected as it could have been. Katherine's desert lime sandcastle cheesecake was bland. Reece's burnt honey cake was dry. This challenge came down to two main factors: the brief and taste. The judges agreed that no matter how well the contestants met the brief, it always comes down to flavours. Although Katherine's dish met the brief, they couldn't get over those flavours and she was eliminated. |

| '''{{nowrap|Fizzy Drink Mystery Box Elimination Challenge}}''' – The chefs had two-and-a-half hours to make an aerated dessert featuring a [[Schweppes]] fizzy drink flavour of their choice. Reece's blood orange sorbet with vanilla gelato and Jana's raspberry and white chocolate dessert received praised from the judges, while John and Christy also impressed. Alisha's crumpet was dense and fatty and Darren's rice crispies were texturally flawed and they were both eliminated. |

| '''{{nowrap|Semi Final}}''' – The semi-finalists were given three-and-a-half hours to create three desserts that tell a story. Jana's [[pastel de nata]] was overly sweet, while Reece's [[rum baba]] and potato stack were dry and lacked flavour. They were eliminated, leaving John, Christy, and Emelia as the finalists. |
