At the tasting by the judges we saw Charlie, then Sagar then Nikita. It wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't the order it was actually filmed.
I think Nikita may have been the first - when she is called up Gregg says "Nikita, are you ready?" and that's not said to the others. So when Charlie was called up, I think he already knew that it was going to be unlikely that he would get ahead of Nikita - his body language during the tasting of his food seemed to me that he already knew.
If there were scores given, Nikita would have been a 10, Charlie 9.5 and Sagar 5 - chefs shouldn't be making mistakes like getting bits of a piping bag in your food at that stage of Masterchef.
