People's Choice 1: RSL Buffet Challenge Episode 25 Airdate — 14 March Location — North Ryde RSL Description — In the first challenge, teams were split into two groups each cooking a buffet meal for public guests at the North Ryde RSL. Both groups selected a theme for their buffet and the guests paid for what they think the group's buffet was worth. The group with the most money won the collective People's Choice whilst the losing group heads into the first Sudden Death Cook-Off. Each team specifically focused on their own dish within their group and Pete and Colin selected the single best dish as their favourite, making that team safe from two eliminations.
