Sarah and Rhett were tied as Runner-ups.
The second round is a pressure test, where the finalists have to cook Marco Pierre White's Terrine of Leeks and Lobster. Rhys scored 17, Sarah with 15, and Rhett with 12.
The third round is a service challenge, where the professionals have to design a full menu with entrée, main and dessert for 120 guests, who are all professional chefs, including most of the guest chefs from previous episodes. The 3 finalists were asked to choose two assistants from all the other 15 contestants. Brown team consisted of Rhys with Kiah and Cassie; Green team consisted of Sarah with Nathan and Coop; and Red team consisted of Rhett with Michael and Nick. Rhys made Seared Scallops with Black Pudding, Lamb Loin with Carrot Purée and Buttered Spinach, and Warm Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Sarah made Grilled Prawns with Chorizo and Zucchini, Roasted Beef Bavette with Parsnip Purée and Bone Marrow, and Crème Chiboust with Stone Fruit and Sorbet. Rhett made Butter Poached Lobster with Celery Leaves and Sorrel, Lamb Rack with Baby Mushroom Ragout, and Eton Mess with Passion fruit and Crispy Meringue. Rhys scored 16 (for a total of 50), Sarah with 16 (for a total of 48), and Rhett with 17 (for a total of 48.) Therefore Rhys wins the title of Masterchef, 200,000 dollars and a world tour working in celebrated kitchens. Sarah and Rhett are also awarded a cash prize, of 10,000 dollars each.
