Holli: Autumn Lewis (Garnish), Nilka Hendricks (Meat) & Siobhan Allgood (Appetizers)

Both teams struggle with at least one of the appetizers. Team Holli also forgets the garnishing on a lobster dish, and Team Jay undercooks some lamb. A little later, both Jason & Nilka have trouble on the beefy swing of things.

Win or lose, both finalists are going on an Australian adventure!
