A MasterChef Australia contestant made history last night, when Loki gambled Survivor-like, on keeping his Immunity pin before a challenge.
But it proved to be his downfall when he was sent packing after failing to defeat 8 other contestants in a Pressure Test. The show pulled 845,000, up on last week’s 781,000, and claiming top entertainment crown. That helped Todd Sampson’s Body Hack 2.0 to debut with 537,000,.
Nine topped primary channels, winning slots with ACA and the NRL / Footy Show combo from 9pm. Seven News and The Chase won for Seven with a Melbourne win for The Front Bar over Footy Show.
Elsewhere, The Handmaid’s Tale pulled in more viewers than the trains on SBS.
But with a multichannel boost, Seven network won Thursday with 28.7% then Nine 26.6%, TEN 22.1%, ABC 15.7% and SBS 6.8%.

Poor Loki. Having George screaming at him not to panic didn’t help. We needed Gordon there to encourage him & give helpful advice. George has been getting nastier every year. What is his problem lately? Everyone’s noticed it on forums & Twitter. He needs to read the feedback & change his attitude.
I went to the good food and wine show in melbourne today and Loki was there. I wanted to ask him if he did get to take the pin home but he was busy talking to people.
He probably thought he was up against 8 other people and thought he wouldn’t go home as someone would cook worse than him.
MC….don’t forget that they give the eliminated folk a second chance. Don’t be surprised if Loki comes back, wins it with his immunity pin intact….just sayin’
Good point. I would expect a return but you can’t use immunity once its power is over, surely?
What a great question – one I don’t think I’ve ever seen proposed in a reality show before! I’d prefer it not to be in play. I think it’s like points earned in a video game and you’ve lost all your lives. You go back to zero if you use another credit for another shot.
Of course he’ll get a 2nd chance..but no pin..this show so predictabe now
I was wondering that. If he gets back in during the second chance challenge can he still use the pin? Will be interesting to see.
Was too easy to tell that would happen in Masterchef – the coming ups, the ads, the focus on him. Unfortunately too often you can deduce the outcome in Masterchef.
Yes has been that way for years and for our family the immunity challenges are so boring why don’t they put them up against very experienced chefs instead of junior ones and no help from the Bennett? ??
Loki was a good guy and I get why he chose to back himself but it just wasn’t his night. He leaves with his head held high.
