My Kitchen Rules

7 teams arrive in Alice springs to compete in the first of 3 NT challenges. The teams arrived in the red centre, the middle of a cattle station. Their challenge was to cook "back-to-basics" style – over fires, with no any electrical appliances or running water. Their first test was to cook a pioneers classic – a damper. Teams had 1 hour to cook their damper and accompaniment. The winning team (determined by judges only) is safe for the week. The remaining teams cooked that night for local farmers, two entrée, two main and two dessert. The winner, decided by the people, is safe for the week. The weakest team, decided by the judges, goes to the next SUDDEN DEATH COOK-OFF (elimination episode).
