Episode 3
It's the first quarter-final of the series, which will see the week's best competitors don their chef whites to compete for a place in knockout week. Two challenges stand in their way.
First up, an invention test with a twist. The chefs will have to rustle up a dish using a mystery ingredient. In this round, it's stout. They will have a glorious selection of produce in the pantry, but the stout will need to shine. It's a delicate balance, as too much could kill the dish completely.
The pressure then ramps up with the infamous critics' challenge. Two courses in one hour and 15 minutes is daunting by any stretch, but taking their seat in the dining room are esteemed critics Jay Rayner, William Sitwell and Leyla Kazim. If there's a time to up the ante, it's now. Every element on the plates will be scrutinised, and no error will escape unnoticed.
With the critics' verdicts to hand, it's down to Marcus and Monica to decide which chefs have what it takes to cope with the pressure of knockout week, and continue in the battle to become this year's MasterChef: The Professionals champion.

The Price is Right
The Price is Right, originally hosted by Bob Barker until 2007 and Drew Carey thereafter -- features a wide variety of games and contests with the same basic challenge: Guess the prices of everyday (or not-quite-everyday) retail items. Four contestants, all of whom are seated in one of the wildest audiences in daytime game-show history, are called to the stage to play a preliminary pricing round. That winner joins the host on stage for one of more than 70 different pricing games. After three such games, the contestants spin a big wheel -- hoping to get as close to $1 as possible -- in the "Showcase Showdown". The two highest winners of that round advance to the final, where prizes could be cars or roomsful of furniture. A trio of models presents the prizes.
