‘No favourites here!’ MasterChef’s Courtney Roulston is the second contestant to be eliminated from the competition after failing to complete her dish
Courtney Roulston came fifth place on the second season of MasterChef Australia back in 2010.
But during Tuesday night’s episode, the Sydney Swans caterer, 40, became the second contestant to be sent home on MasterChef: Back To Win.
Yellow team members were put through a two-round pressure test after losing the BBQ challenge during Monday night’s episode.

Judge Jock Zonfrillo tasked them with cooking dishes from his three-hatted Adelaide restaurant Orana, including its signature scarlet prawns.
But Courtney failed to remove a ‘poo chute’ from one her prawns, sending her into the elimination round with Ben Ungermann and Reece Hignell.
In the elimination round, the trio had to make a delicate kohlrabi salad with burrata foam and a damper served with lamb butter by following Orana recipes.

After cooking the dishes, Courtney had to assemble and present them right in front of the judges.
But her salad dressing got stuck in the bottle, and she was forced to serve an unfinished kohlrabi dish.
‘One dish was incomplete and that was yours, Courtney. And that’s why you’re going home,’ Jock said as he eliminated her.
But there was no hard feelings and Courtney immediately gave the judge a hug.
No hard feelings: Courtney gave Jock a hug and went up to co-judge Andy Allen before she jokingly wrapped her hands around his neck as she said: ‘You were supposed to be my friend!’

‘I gave it my all today. I’m most proud that I had a crack, I came back. I feel like finale dishes from 10 years ago is what we just cooked today,’ Courtney said as she left.
‘The competition is tough but it’s the greatest experience you can get.’
