Peter Kritikides survived a week longer in MasterChef Australia before his run ultimately came unstuck by a macaroon tower.

Kritikides, 29, re-entered the contest a week ago after being previously eliminated. Competing against Marion, Alvin and Aaron he met his match in a three and a half hour challenge set by celebrity chef Adriano Zumbo.

But his exit wasn’t entirely a surprise to some readers of TV Week who noted that published photos of tomorrow night’s “army challenge” featured photos of Marion and Alvin.

The reveal followed the North Shore News publishing Matthew’s exit last month before his elimination had aired.

TV Week is understood to be equally dismayed by the slip, and attributes the photo as being supplied by TEN.

Meanwhile, TEN Publicity has now stopped supplying embargo information on eliminated contestants as interest in the final weeks ramps up.

  1. If TV Week is so “biased” towards 7, why are the Logies almost always on Channel 9….? Food for thought.

    This week’s cover features four young stars – two from Channel 10 and two from Channel 7. As TV Week said, they printed photos supplied to them by Channel 10, specifically advertising this week’s episodes (which they do regularly). It would have made zero sense for them to publish those photos after the episodes had aired, so why would Channel 10 provide them with spoiler-filled photos in the first place?

  2. Well, it really doesn’t surprise me that TV Week would spoil a show that Seven see as major opposition, considering the magazine show a heavy bias toward their (Seven’s) programs (just look at the percentage of covers and pages that are devoted to Home & Away, Packed to the Rafters, City Homicide, Desperate Housewives, etc – yes, it goes back quite a number of years).

    Even their listings devote 1/3 column to only One commercial network, the other two receiving 1/4 each.

    Yes, call me cynical……

  3. Not surprised. This is a rival networks TV mag so they dont give a crap really. All they want is stories and thats what they gave readers. I think TEN should batten down the hatches and release nothing to the media. But leaks always happen so what can you do.

  6. The Adelaide Advertiser (and possibly other quality Murdoch publications) ran a story in yesterday mornings paper quoting Alvin as saying that if you polled the remaining 9 contestants, they would all tip Marion to win.

    Given that both Marion & Alvin were to be in last nights elimination, that really narrowed the elimination field.

    That said, hardly a surprise it was Peter…

  7. I don’t know how this sort of publicity works, but if there are embargoes in place, they sure ain’t working as that slip-up by TV Week is shoddy and a terrible spoiler for viewers of the biggest show in the country.
