MasterChef Australia: Back To Win elimination sees cook's dream dashed over underdone duck as brutal butter challenge goes awry
MasterChef Australia: Back To Win has lost another cook after a butter challenge left a lot to be desired on Sunday night.
A pressure test called for the chefs to create a dish that 'celebrated butter' in 75 minutes.
Unfortunately, Tim Bone's dish fell short when his underdone duck failed to wow the judges, and it led to his elimination.
'My heart definitely sank,' the Ballarat chef told Ten after he departed the cooking competition.
'I think I bit off more than I could chew trying to get a beautiful fall-off-the-bone confit duck in 75 minutes, but that's the world we live in, it's a pressure-cooker of an environment, and you never know when your time is up' he continued.

'Unfortunately, my time was up'.
The host of Good Chef Bad Chef said that despite being kicked off the series he was happy with what he had achieved.
'I still walked out with my head held high. I was proud of what I was able to achieve in the competition,' he said.
It comes after contestant Rue Mupedzi set herself up for a huge career in the culinary world after her shock elimination from the Back to Win season on Tuesday.
Instead of hanging up her apron for good, the 29-year-old dental hygienist is planning on becoming a pastry chef.
Rue, who is known as the 'dessert queen' by fans, announced she plans to head to Europe to pursue her dream as soon as possible.
'My vision board is to go to France and gain work experience in the pastry world for six months to a year, as well as explore Europe,' she said in a new interview with Yahoo Lifestyle on Wednesday.
The WA-based kitchen star said her long-term plans included opening her own pastry shop.
Unfortunately, Tim's dish fell short when his underdone duck failed to wow the judges, and it led to his elimination
Rue returned to MasterChef after her headline making appearance on the show in 2023.
She suffered the heartache of a second MasterChef Australia elimination last week after a tricky pudding failed to impress the judges.
In tears, Rue told the judges that it had been an honour cooking for them and being on the show for a second time around.
'Just being called back among such amazing chefs made me realise I'm also part of the great people,' she shared.
Jean-Christophe Novelli sang high praises of the contestant and her presence on the show.
'You are unique, you've got the most amazing spirit and, for me, I believe you are a ray of sunshine in any kitchen,' he told Rue in a heartfelt speech.
Speaking of her final cook with 10Play, Season 15's Rue was left disappointed after being eliminated in a challenge she considered to be her bread and butter.
'I really felt like this was a cook that I was supposed to shine in, and I didn't,' Rue said.
'I had done all these elements over a thousand times, and somehow that didn't show. You couldn't see that on the plate.'

The startling truth about Spotify — it's got a porn problem
A s I understand it, one of the clichés of pornographic plotting is a hapless innocent — a plumber or pizza delivery boy — stumbling unwittingly into a sexual scenario. Last week this happened to me on my Spotify Premium Family account. It was a weekday morning. I was at my desk, researching potential column subjects as the Sunday Times radio and podcast critic. Scrolling Spotify's podcast charts to check out what was trending, I noticed a couple of high-ranking shows in the fiction podcast category Top Ten that I hadn't heard of. At No 3 there was Yaya Sama Audios, with some anime-looking cover art and more than 140 episodes uploaded since mid-May. At No 7, something called ivys aud, with fewer episodes and a vintage feel to its artwork — violet roses wrapped in a broadsheet newspaper. I clicked on an episode of the first audio title, one of about half a dozen uploaded just that day, and then gasped to discover, under the cartoon image of a doe-eyed girl, the title ****ed Hard by an Obsessed Big ***k. Its English-accented monologue narrated a rapey seduction, as the large-type AI-written transcript of the pornographic audio rolled up my screen. Episode titles of the other podcast included Seducing Your Hot Married Deprived Neighbor and A Lesson in Slut Theory.

Ex-England football star Andy Carroll 'is questioned twice by police on Greek party island after restaurant and hotel bust-ups with girlfriend'
Ex-England football star Andy Carroll was questioned twice by Greek police over a series of bust-ups with girlfriend Lou Teasdale while the pair holidayed in Mykonos, it has been reported. Caroll, 36, was interrogated about the arguments with his make-up artist lover in a restaurant and at their hotel on the Greek party island, The Sun on Sunday reports. Speaking about the first incident, a worker at the Nikolus Tavern told The Sun on Sunday: 'He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. 'He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.' According to the restaurant worker, cops arrived and took the former footballer aside for a chat. He was later allowed to girlfriend Lou. 'Police spoke to him. He was allowed to return, and the couple left after paying for their meal. Andy was very calm when the police arrived — he stood up and spoke to them outside the restaurant', the restaurant worker added. Just hours later, cops were called again by hotel staff following reports of damage in their room, MailOnline understands that the former England striker was taken to the police station for questioning, but he was not arrested and no further action was taken. The incident was confirmed by a hotel employee, who claimed Carroll broke the door. That night, Lou left the hotel and spent the night at Soho Roc House. MailOnline has approached Carroll and Teasdale's representatives for comment. A joint statement from the couple given to The Sun said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. 'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us. 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.' The pair began dating last year after he separated from his TOWIE star wife Billi Mucklow last September. Carroll and Mucklow called it quits divorce after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year. Andy Carroll GB Bordeaux during the French National 2 football match Girondins de Bordeaux against Saint-Pryve Saint-Hilaire at the Matmut Atlantique stadium in Bordeaux South West of France on November 9, 2024 In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Carroll was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do.
