1. "It wouldn't be fair on them." Why there were no challenges against guest chefs on MasterChef.

MasterChef has graced our screens for eight glorious weeks now. And we've been loving every minute of it.

But behind the high-pressure competition and mouthwatering food,MasterCheffans may have noticed this season is missing one thing in particular... immunity challenges against guest chefs.

In the past, contestants who made it through the immunity round would have the chance to cook against a top chef, such as Curtis Stone or Shannon Bennett.

This season, however, there hasn't been a single challenge of that kind. And according to the show's producer, Marty Benson, there's a very good reason for it.

"We decided it wouldn't be fair on the chefs because our contestants are so good," he told The Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday.

With the next season ofMasterChefcurrently casting, Benson said the level of difficulty for the challenges will have to be dialled down.

"We need to make sure the judges are nurturing people who are starting from a lower base."

So it looks like there might be hope for us home cooks after all.

MasterChef continues on Sunday at 7.30pm on Channel 10

2. Oh. Apparently Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are getting "closer" in lockdown.

While a number of celebrity couples have decided to go their separate ways in lockdown, it seems like Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have been getting closer over the past couple of months.

A source supposedly told People on Friday that the 35-year-old reality star and 29-year-old basketball player have been "clearly enjoying each other's company" during isolation.

The pair have reportedly been spending lockdown together while co-parenting their two-year-old daughter True.

"The lockdown made them closer," the unnamed source told the publication. "They hadn't spent this much time together since they lived in Cleveland. They have had an amazing spring with True in LA."

"Tristan has been on his best behavior. Khloe is definitely charmed by him. If he is able to keep things up, it's very possible that Khloe would get back with him."

That said, neither Khloe or Tristan have shared any news about getting back together.
