* In Episode 19, as much of a JerkAss Krissi is, she had a sound strategy for being in charge of the second challenge pairing each contender with a bird to cook. (And for once none of the choices were picked with any underlying malice or pettiness). Her top targets were Natasha, Luca, and Jordan in that order, so she gave what she deemed would be difficult for them to better the odds of her biggest competitions being eliminated. Natasha got pheasant for being an unfamiliar meat and the difficultly of it drying out quickly, Luca got a turkey because turkeys aren't found in his native country Italy, and Jordan got quail because of its complexity to work with and Jordan has been known to overcomplicate dishes. Although Natasha and Luca excelled, Jordan was a successful hit and he ended up going home. The challenge also managed to put Jessie who's been a strong cook throughout the season at the bottom despite having chicken, the easiest of the birds given to work it.

** For the Blue team, despite a blatant lack of leadership by Shelly, Derrick and Christopher were able to salvage service almost all on their own by Derrick stepping up as de facto team captain and Christopher taking lead in the cooking area, to the point that in spite of dishes being sent out only halfway through service and being unable to get the final eight plates out before time was up, the Blue team only lost by 3 votes.

* On the tenth season of Masterchef Indonesia, an episode featuring the contestants having 75 minute time limit as their time limit for two different challenges. Usman decided to go AllOrNothing mode by using approximately '''68 minutes''' of his time, knowing that if he failed it's essentially a one way ticket to Pressure test. His confidence and determination results in a mouthwatering biryani set that leaves both contestants and judges hungry for it. He was then rightfully saved after the first challenge, leaving the Black team having to find another opponent to get their aprons on.

* In the second season of Masterchef Canada, Jennifer has been considered the weakest contestant from the very start. In the tenth episode, now the top 8 (with contestant Cody having just returned from being eliminated by winning an egg challenge), contestants must replicate judge Michael Bonacini's very technical and complex sea scallop mousse with lobster, and Jennifer returned from the pantry having forgotten to grab eggs, a key ingredient in creating mousse because it helps everything bind together. After a bit of a breakdown, Chef Bonacini talked to her and calmed her down. Jennifer did not bother asking any other contestants for any eggs, instead she decided to try making a roux as an attempt to substitute the eggs. Her improvised technique ended up being successful, with her mousse being near perfect. After the challenge, even though Jennifer did not win (Christopher won, with Jennifer having technically the second best dish), the judges called attention towards her, commending and congratulating her in her tenacity, determination and improvisation.

* One of the Mystery Box challenges has Gordon, Graham and Joe introduce a guest that will be cooking with the contestants. The guest turns out to be... Gordon Ramsay, in his chef attire:
** Once the contents of the Mystery box are revealed (black cod, with an assortment of spices) Gordon takes 30 minutes doing things like talk to his fellow judges, observe the contestants and drink tea. The last 30 minutes he spends preparing, cooking, and plating his dish, showing the contestants the expertise of a world class chef. When the contestants taste his creation, they say it was absolutely delicious.
** In a meta-fridge way, Gordon has chewed out at least one Chef for preparing their dish too early (in season 1) as food can cook while sitting on the plate and completely changes flavour when it goes cold. This means that the 30 minutes might not have just been for show, but Gordon actually planned it because he knew he must prep and cook the cod in the remaining 30 minutes for the best taste (He has repeatedly stated that he takes only 10 minutes to cook a perfect portion of salmon, as any more will result in a burnt skin and dry flesh, while any less would result in...well raw salmon). The tea break was just icing on the cake.
