MasterChef Australia contestant reveals why she's GLAD to have been kicked off show in latest elimination
Contestants are normally devastated to be kicked off MasterChef Australia. But during Sunday night's elimination on the Back To Win season, Samira El Khafir revealed she was happy to go home. The chef made eggplant chicken kofta but her dry meat let her down and led to her being sent home. After the news was broken that she was heading home, Samira found a silver lining. 'Thank you. No, this is good. It's my husband's birthday today' she quipped to laughter from her co-stars.

'This will honestly make his night, knowing I'm back to cook for him' she added. Samira went on to say that coming back to the show was a wonderful experience for her. 'Don't quit at anything. And you know, the world is massive. So there's just so much we can do. I loved every moment of it' she said of what she learned. 'I am feeling so happy and so blessed that I actually had this opportunity to come back' she added. 'I appreciate everything. I am super proud of myself. To be a mum of four and to pause work life to come join MasterChef again for the second time. 'It was so beautiful. I'm super proud of how far I've come.' Last week, fan favourite Darrsh Clarke made his heartbreaking farewell after his dessert failed to impress the judges. Darrsh, who won a reputation on the show as the 'dessert king' served up a sweet Choux Tower, which features a Orange Blossom Crème Pâtissière and a Pistachio Praline. Unfortunately for Darrsh he went wrong with using too many eggs, and he ended up burning the Choux pastry. 'Meeting all of these amazing people, it's been very inspiring to be around, and I think just having that energy to be around you really motivates you and I'm really excited for what's next,' he said before making his sad exit from the kitchen. First appearing on the cooking competition in 2024, when he placed sixth, the self-taught foodie appeared determined to follow his dream. 'I'm definitely going to use this experience to change my life going forward,' he continued. The Sunday prior saw Tim Bone sent home when his underdone duck failed to wow the judges in the butter challenge. A pressure test called for the chefs to create a dish that 'celebrated butter' in 75 minutes. '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.

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.'
