A number of members of the Carrucan family left their homes in West Clare, Ireland in the s to settle in various parts of the world including Australia.

Top 24 Cooking Challenge - In their first challenge as the Top 24, contestants had 75 minutes to "put themselves on a plate". In the first challenge set in the MasterChef kitchen, many contestants faltered, forgetting ingredients, producing food that was overcooked or deemed too simple. Emma, Ben and Debra were declared the Top 3, despite each having elements of their dishes that found fault with the judges.
Ben was declared the winner, and went into a battle for immunity. With five hours of preparation time and three hours to cook and serve, teams also had to run the Front of House and spruik to possible customers. The Red Team, under Emma's leadership struggled initially with delegation of duties, leading them to fall behind and start service late. After a shaky start, they found their rhythm and were praised for the quality of their dishes, especially with dessert made by Kylie. The Blue Team thrived under Andy's leadership and their ability to bring in customers.
Their dishes earned praise from the judges, especially Ben's scallop main, but were criticised for their dessert. The Red Team were sent into their first elimination challenge. Elimination Challenge 1 - In a three-round pasta-themed challenge, the Red Team fought for their places in the competition. In the first round, contestants had to identify different kinds of pasta with the first six to make a wrong guess moving to the second round.
First-in-line Kevin incorrectly labelled one of the hardest varieties lasagnotte , and as no one else could identify it correctly, his decision pulled the next five people in the line into the second round.
Despite excelling in presentation, Kevin's lack of seasoning and imbalance of flavour led him to be the first eliminated contestant of the series. Sunday Challenge 1 - In the Mystery Box challenge, contestants were faced with a range of ingredients that had to be "cracked", such as eggs, crab, nuts and spices.
With the judges only tasting their favourite three dishes, the twenty-three hopefuls fought to gain their attention with some inventive dishes. Filippo beat out Mindy and Debra to gain the advantage of picking the core ingredient for the Invention Test. Tasked with making the perfect sandwich using tomato as the core ingredient, the quality of dishes meant the judges were faced with a difficult decision.
