Bumping for tonight's episode
Knockout Week for the sixteen contestants through the first five weeks of heats.
They are in two groups of eight. The first group are tonight. First they have to cook a dish for John and Gregg that they would include in a menu if they had their own restaurant or were writing a cookbook. Three of the eight go home at this stage.Different format of the Knockout stage to last year as that was spread over a couple of weeks but this time just this week (five first round weeks of heat this year compared to four last year so overall the same number of episodes).
The other five then are off to East London to work for Rafael Cagali at his Da Terra Restaurant. None of them go home after this stage and go forward to Friday's episode.
