MasterChef Australia aired a team pressure test that forced contestants to relay dishes by shouting through barriers, producing a chaotic communication challenge. Viewers noted sensory overload risks and called the format stressful for neurodivergent contestants. Hannah and Luke struggled with the shouting-reliant coordination, with multiple posts singling out Hannah carrying the planning load and Luke repeatedly calling for her. Commenters questioned how the exercise improved cooking skills while others enjoyed seeing contestants' finished plates side by side. Judge Andy drew criticism for his skeptical remarks, and several viewers said they tuned out before the episode ended.
