and Mark Adamson. Celebrity chef
, Ben O'Donoghue
(of Surfing the Menu), gives the contestants tips on cooking technique, seasoning, time management and presentation. Comedian, radio personality and actress Julia Zemiro
is there to judge the "X Factor". She profiles the finalists personalities and gives them advice on how to best use their own individual strengths as they would hosting a show. Television
director and producer Mark Adamson is seeking out those contestants who light up the screen and connect with the audience. He is there to judge their performance and showmanship. Adamson also coaches the finalists through a variety of screen tests and direction using in-ear communication devices. An example included asking the contestants to pull a random object out of a barrel, and "sell" the item to the audience for 30 seconds. This tested their off-the-cuff ability under pressure of live or scripted television.

and one egg
whilst answering a series of questions about themselves and why they wanted to be part of the show. A second part of the process was a screen test
where they had to talk more about what they would do if they had their own show and deliver a tagline
or marketing slogan that summarises their personality and character. http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/bbqchallenge/photos.asp
After thousands auditioned from all over Australia, 21 Finalists were selected to battle it out in the heats. The top 21 finalists of 2006 were.

Andrew
Barbara & Jayne (team)
Bonabent (Bona)
David
Fenton
Gabrielle
George
Hayley
Ivan
Jason
Katie
Laz
Lisette
Margaret
Richard and Kathy (team)
Rita
Sandy
Sophie
Tibor
William (Bill)
The 21 contestants were put through their paces in a series of 7 heats with different themes. They had to firstly cook their signature dish, then perform a screen test, then battle it out to produce the best dish from a secret ingredient
. Judges Mark, Julia and Ben then decided on the winner based on how they performed in each challenge and their overall performance including charisma, personality and verbal ability.
Each contestant got 15 minutes to cook their own signature dish. Bill cooked North African marinated lamb. Barbara and Jayne cooked a steak and mushroom
ragù
and Andrew made turkey
burgers. Andrew lost points in the final cook off for cutting into the meat while still on the grill
. In the final round it was Bill who came out on top though his simple surf and turf
dish was under seasoned.
Heat 2 - Asian Bazaar
Margaret, Rita and Bona battled it out in an Asian themed heat. Mags' signature dish was called Chicken a'la Mags, a chicken and vegetable feast with coconut cream
and Asian flavours. Rita's dish was marinated lamb cutlet
s with Italian influences. Bona pulled out the big guns with his tender loin steak and tropical BBQ sauce. It was a concern of Mark's that Bona might frighten young children if he was to host a show. Even though Mags struggled with the screen test
and has no formal cooking training, she was declared the winner of heat 2 and Rita was granted a wild card
.
Heat 3 - Bush Tucker
By the third round things started to get interesting. Amelita, David and Hayley took up the challenge in the Australian-themed episode. Amelita's signature dish was an organic rib fillet with shaved ham
, banana
, and hollandaise sauce
. Ben's comments were 'You eat with your eyes and that is beating me to death!' Amelita fired back saying 'Your shoes are beating me to death.' It did her no favours. David cooked up a delightful black sesame seed-crusted tuna
which was favoured among the judges. Hayley's simple salmon
on potato rosti
was elegant and delighted the judges who commented on her presentation in particular the height. Despite her good looks and clever articulation it was David who was chosen to go through to the semi finals.
Heat 4 - Aussie Christmas
Tibor, Jason and Gabrielle battled it out for an Aussie Christmas
episode which set a new standard so far in the show. Gold Coast chef/teacher Jason struggled with his signature dish round with his Cafe Del Mare (seafood
platter For 2) which he served cold after cooking it too early. Gabs impressed the two male judges with an old favourite, aussie burgers minus the beetroot
, and Tibor went over the top with a Jurassic
feast of ostrich
, barbecued pears with spiced honey
, walnut
s and blue cheese
. The secret ingredient this week was turkey
, and while Jason professed his loathe for the bird, he was the only contestant able to cook it properly. Mark, Julia and Ben refused to eat Tibor's and Gabrielle's turkey (as it was medium rare
) and declared Jason the winner, although Mark thought he was not the best on the day, preferring Gabrielle as a choice. Clearly Jason's food was presented well and his technique was polished thus the judges wanted to see more and gave him the chance to do so as he was put through to the semi finals.
Heat 5 - Seafood Safari
The seafood
safari episode saw many firsts for the Great BBQ Challenge. The first dessert
to be cooked entirely on the BBQ, the first entree and the first tears of the series. Restaurateur
Fenton
shocked the judges with his signature dish, the great Aussie pavlova
with boozy summer fruits. Darwin cook Lisette served up antipasto
and Perth
IT professional Laz had all the right flavours with his stir fry
vegetables and lamb chops. During the screen test Fenton's explosive nature impressed Mark and Julia while Laz came out on top with his clear delivery and knowledge base. The final challenge was to cook up a seafood feast. Laz's cook in the bag technique came under criticism
from Ben as he didn't clean the flat plate between courses and mixed his meal with the charred remains of the previous dish. Fenton's Moreton Bay bug
s prepared with Asian flavours, secured the win from the judges and moved him to tears and into the semi finals.
Heat 6 - Kids Feast
This episode saw the Challenge's youngest competitor Sandy, go up against food writer Katie and lovable Ivan the posty. The signature dish round got the show off to a great start. Ivan prepared a unique combination of flavours with his rabbit
thighs with mint
pineapple
. Sandy's spicy lamb served on a char grilled vegetable stack proved to the judges she was very accomplished behind the grill, despite her age. The always articulate Katie from Brisbane
went for a cheaper option and whipped up some steak
fajitas. Mark's screen test
round belonged to Ivan who's theatrical training helped put him clearly in front of the competition. In the final round the kiddies were the judges and Ivan was declared the winner and Katie was given a second chance as a wild card.
Heat 7 - Retro Pool Party
Sophie and George went up against duo Richard and Kathy in the final round of the heats and with 2 places still remaining in the semi's this was set to be a showdown. Blonde bombshell Sophie from Melbourne
pulled off a family favourite Sunday roast on the barbie. The second team to make the top 21, Richard and Kathy decided on some sand whiting
fillets with fennel
scallops. Thinking seafood as well, George impressed with salmon and beurre rouge (red butter). Richard and Kathy lost their way in the mystery object challenge, failing to connect with the camera but earned themselves the wild card
slot while Sophie took out the heat hands down.
Semi final 1 - Breakfast
The Breakfast challenge brought qualified chefs Jason and Fenton
together to produce a breakfast feast in 30 minutes. At least three different breakfast items had to be prepared all on the BBQ. One with flour, one without flour and one with fruit. Ben through a curve ball half way through the challenge and expected a poached egg from each challenger. Fenton went all out and attempted a damper
similar to a filet mignon
wrapped in bacon. Coconut
hotcakes with balsamic
glazed fruit and a chipolata
rolled in an egg net. Jason's plate was also distinguished, although his egg turned out brown due to the new wok and acidic lime juice. Jason's food was presented best but it was Fenton's big personality that won over the judges and earned a place in the top 10.
Winner - Fenton
Wildcard - Jason
Semi final 2 - Canapes
The two ladies from the home kitchen, Katie and Rita go at it in the canapes challenge.
Winner - Katie
Runner-up - Rita
Semi final 3 - Fish
Ivan the postman took on Ballarat's gift of gab Mags in the third semi - the fish challenge. Despite them both not having trained in a professional kitchen this showdown was all systems go from the beginning.
Winner - Ivan
Runner-up - Margaret
Semi final 4 - Smoking
It was two against one in the fourth semi where David took on Richard and Kathy the final team left.
Winner - David
Runner-up - Richard & Kathy
Semi final 5 - Burger
Jabba said it best when he said 'we've saved the best for last' in the final semi where the two youngest finalists went head to head in the burger challenge.
Winner - Sophie
Wildcard - William (Bill)
The Survivor Challenge
The Contestants were put through their paces in a Boot Camp cook-off. The wild card contestants, Bill and Jason, were designated team leaders and asked to split the finalists into 2 teams (red and blue). They proceeded through physical challenges that showcased their communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills. The final task would be a cook off with the ingredients determined at the end of each round. If they won a challenge they were able to have first pick of the ingredients including meat
or vegetables. The final team challenge was to start a fire from scratch. The contestants (in their teams) then had to cook a 4 course meal and damper
on their camp-fires to impress the judges and feed the commando
s who led them through the challenges. The winning team (blue) consisted of Fenton
, Sophie, Bill and David. They defeated Ivan, Katie and Jason of the red team. The winning team was then put in the awkward position to choose one contestant from the losing team to eliminate and they had to name that person within 30 seconds. They chose to eliminate the strongest competitor.
Jason was eliminated.
Sausage Sizzle Challenge
For this challenge teams were altered due to blue now having 4 members and red being left with 2 after Jason's departure. Ivan and Katie chose Fenton to join their team and even the stakes. Next the teams were taken to a sausage
kitchen. They then made their own sausage meat and ground it up into one long sausage that had to be rolled into normal sized sausages. Ivan was quite adapt at creating objects out of balloons so he was named the 'balloon man' for the challenge and helped the red team make over 400 sausages and win the round. New red team member Fenton was given the nickname 'bacon
' as he had the reputation of 'bringing home the bacon.' The next part to the challenge was to construct a BBQ straight out of a flat-pack box. The blue team came out on top this time. Once assembled, the two teams then had to cook
the sausages they had made for children (and their parents) from the local athletics club, who were now cheering the teams on. Each sausage had to be served with a different condiment
. Then as part of the presenting aspect of the show, the teams were each given a megaphone
which they used to try to persuade the kids to try their sausages over the other teams. It seemed like an out of control bidding war and while Katie and Bill did well at the task, Fenton didn't even need a microphone
. In the end the judges differed in their opinions of who won. Ben believed the red team made the better sausage sizzle while Mark thought blue had it in the bag. Blue were selected as the winners and two from the red team were sent home.
Ivan and Katie were eliminated.
Teppanyaki Challenge
This challenge was an early start for the 4 remaining finalists Bill, Sophie, Fenton and David. It began at the fish market
s in Sydney
's Chinatown where Ben explained the art of finding a fresh fish
. Each finalist asked around to find out as much information as they could about a fish they had never cooked before. Fenton was so impressed with the filleting of the salmon
that he wanted to meet the man responsible. Turned out it was the No. 1 salmon filleter in NSW. At the docks, 4 BBQ's were set up and each contestant was given 60 seconds to look down the barrel of the camera and talk about how they would prepare this fish, as though they were hosting a show. This was a test to see how much of the information they could retain and deliver to an audience in a simple to understand language. A Teppanyaki
Chef came out and gave the finalists a crash course in the ancient Japanese technique. For the final challenge the remaining 4 were taken to a Teppanyaki restaurant and asked to cook a meal for the judges using the technique. Each contestant was judged on the ability to talk and cook at the same time while using techniques that they were all unfamiliar with. The judges then decided they would send one home who they thought was 'throwing' the contest.
David was eliminated.
Top Notch Grill Challenge
The Top 3, Sophie, Bill and Fenton had just two final challenges to complete. The first was the last chance to work on their presenting skills with Mark and Julia
. Mark held a Cue card
which they were required to read while looking down the camera
and deliver it with as much personality as possible. Mark was looking for someone with the ability to engage the audience. Bill and Sophie struggled with their delivery while big Fenton nailed it in one take, getting a round of applause
from both judges. Then it was off to one of Sydney
's best fine dining experiences, Mint bar and dining. Once there they had one last attempt to impress 5 VIP's with a signature dish under the keen eye of Ben O'Donoghue. This showed another side of Ben that the contestants had yet to see, a no nonsense head chef barking orders at them in the kitchen and putting the pressure on to get the meals out as efficiently as possible. Sophie served up a very fresh and light Mexican chicken
with a tasty salad including heart of palm
and pistachio
. The food critiques were very impressed. Next up Bill aimed to impress with his dish, crayfish
cooked in herb butter and served with a salad. The reaction was the same all round from the judges, not good. The presentation was lacking and the salad didn't suit the dish. Owner of Mint remarked 'It's like two different dishes on one plate.' Finally Fenton from Queensland
served up an eye fillet with hollandaise and potato rosti
(a favourite at his restaurant.) While one judge thought the beef was the best stating 'he (Fenton) put his whole life on the BBQ and served it up for us.' it was Sophie's chicken that got the majority of the VIP judges vote and won her ticket through to the grand finale. That left Fenton and Bill. Ben then announced that Bill would be going home and Fenton was going through. But then in a final twist, Chef Ben O'Donoghue decided to bring Bill back because he felt that he had let him down with his direction in the kitchen. So the Top 2 was again the Top 3 with all contestants going into the final with the winner announced on Australia Day
.
