The strange combination of flavors showed different results to the judges, which consisted of Matt Preston, Matt Moran, Donna Hay and Christine Manfield. With influence of molecular gastronomy, Jack's Snail Porridge with Rocket Butter and Beetroot Tuile beat Sofia's Snail and Rocket Fritelle Stack with Battered Snails and Beetroot Purée, Isabella's Nonna's Spaghetti and Snail Sugo with Beetroot, Rocket, and Fennel Salad, and Siena's Snail and Chorizo Risotto with Mushroom Foam and Beetroot Salad for the first spot in the Final 2. Having their last chance for a spot in the Final 2, the cooks play the Junior MasterChef Spinning Wheel to determine the dish they will cook in the Pressure Test. The wheel landed on George's Spring Bay Mussel Spanakopita with Chickpea Vinaigrette. Cooking mussels for their first time, the girls' interpretations had highs and lows: Sofia's vinaigrette was the best, however there weren't enough poured in the dish; Siena had vibrant tomatoes yet stuffed the mussels too much; while Isabella had the best spanakopita filling but a messed presentation. Eventually, Isabella received the last place in the Final 2, leading to the emotional elimination of Sofia and Siena. Both received a trophy and a $5,000 trust fund. See less
