So it's a cheese challenge and I love to eat cheese, it's it's awesome and who doesn't like cheese
This is how round one is gonna work take it in turns you're gonna walk up
You're gonna touch the cheese smell the cheese cut the cheese taste the cheese and then
Identify the cheese correctly looking at the cheeses. I know what blue cheese looks like
I know a Swiss cheese looks like but I'm gonna have to be a little bit more specific. I
Am trying to count up how many of those I actually will know and it's not many
You can taste as many of these cheeses you like
before you have to name one I
Am in hell I buy cheese for my husband
I might try one now and then but this is definitely
Not my ideal challenge get the cheese, right?
You're still in this mini challenge. You're still in with a chance of cooking off. There's a top chef for that pin
Get it wrong
Thank you God, I think I'm best suited for this challenge. I mean Rachel doesn't even like cheese. I'm feeling pretty good actually
it is a
sudden knockout
Just one word of warning
Think before you pick not everything is as it seems
right
Time to work out who's gonna go first
The knife pull who's gonna come up first
Brent
Brent you'll be going first
Rachel third
Fantastic. So Brent you'll be going first
Renee you'll be going second Rachel. You'll be going third
It's time to name that cheese Brent you ready? Yeah, let's do it
What do you know Brent what do you know you always second-guess when you up here always
My first pick is the bocconcini the baby mozzarella ball
I think every person here knows what bocconcini is and I want to get it off there. So no one else can pick it
What is it bocconcini?
You're absolutely right. Well done
Renee you're next. I know that's the one you guys don't think is what it seems. I think
I pick up parmesan because I know what it is. And I think it's gonna be quite a simple answer
Right. What do you got parmesan?
Hmm
You're absolutely right
No Rachel
The first one I choose is better. Right. What do you got? I have better
You're absolutely right Greek better
Brent you back up man
My second pick is ricotta I see it in the deli every time I go to the supermarket
So I know exactly what it is, and I'm happy to get that off the bench as well. What do you got?
I have ricotta
Yes, you do well done
Feeling pretty good. I've knocked out the two easiest cheeses and the girls have picked their first
So I don't know how much more they'll know back up Renee
Before I choose my next cheese
I have a nibble of a few of the other cheeses just to make sure in my mind that I know
What I'm gonna choose after this one
My second pick is the Swiss cheese
And I choose that because it's something that I eat quite regularly and it's something I buy for the kids
I think it's Swiss cheese
more information, please
I'm thinking really
Has she made a mistake?
When the judges tell me I have to give them more information. That's when I know I've
Got myself in a bit of a pickle like Gru. Yeah
And I say Gru yeah because I know that's a type of Swiss cheese. Renee
You're incorrect
Cheese back down then head upstairs
Immunity not today for you. I'm really upset. I'm actually having to hold back tears
That is something I've been looking forward to for a long time is going into immunity and as I walk up to the gantry
I'm actually gritting my teeth. I'm really humiliated by the fact that I didn't know it
All right comes down to you two Brent Rachel
You go shopping for cheese with your husband I
Buy him
Cheeses for him to taste. My second pick is the big block down the side
Salty, I taste it feel the saltiness little cracks in my mouth
Brent how many of these do you think you know? I think I know about three
Possibly four more Wow
Rachel what about you the one Brenton knows about three or four
Okay, mate. I know one
All right. What do you got Rachel?
My daughter's favorite a good old cheddar
Absolutely, right. Well done
All right, Brent your turn man
Alrighty, you should be right, you know four of them. I
love eating soft cheese, it's it's probably my favorite cheese to wait and
I'm in two minds is a breeze a camembert is a breeze a camembert
Is a breeze a camembert?
He's a brave boy
Just so you know when the four of us
Named the cheeses the cheese that you're carrying there two of us named it one type two of us named it another type
That's my worry. I love to eat it. So I'm just gonna hope that I'm right. What is it?
Camembert
I'm feeling pretty confident. I mean, it's pretty firm and it's got the shape of camembert
Distinguishing the taste is almost impossible for an amateur, but I'm just going with my gut and I'm hoping that I'm right
Brent you pick one of the hardest ones Matt and I
we said that cheese was
Camembert and we were absolutely
It's actually King Island dairy-free. That's okay
Why didn't you just pick a cheese that you know what it is?
I mean, I know two or three more cheeses on the board. Why wouldn't I just do that a
Wasted opportunity Rachel you're going into the second round
Gosh
He knew three or four and he's got it mixed up and now I'm cooking
Yeah, what a pleasure it is to give this to you
It really suits you and I can't wait
To see you cooking it. You go girl. Okay, well done
