TORONTO, May 22, 2018 /CNW/ - The pressure was on as esteemed MASTERCHEF CANADA judges Michael Bonacini, Claudio Aprile, and Alvin Leung revealed that Marissa Leon-John, Tech Support Manager from Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que., would be the seventh home cook to relinquish her white apron and depart the MASTERCHEF CANADA Kitchen. With six home cooks remaining in the competition, MASTERCHEF CANADA returns next week on Tuesday, May 29 at 9 p.m. ET / 8 MT on CTV and CTV GO.

Faced with a massive Mystery Box as the Top 7 home cooks entered the MASTERCHEF CANADA Kitchen, the home cooks receive an unexpected surprise when the judges opened the box to reveal the stars of the hit comedy series CORNER GAS ANIMATED, including Brent Butt, Tara Spencer-Nairn, Lorne Cardinal, and Nancy Robertson.

In the next all-new episode of MASTERCHEF CANADA, "On the Line of Fire" (Tuesday, May 29 at 9 p.m. ET / 8 MT on CTV and CTV GO), the Top 6 home cooks face a super-charged Restaurant Takeover Team Challenge at Judge Claudio Aprile's Toronto restaurant, Copetin. The teams must make two technically demanding appetizers and two entrées for a restaurant filled with discerning dinner guests. After the Restaurant Takeover, the home cooks return to the MASTERCHEF CANADA Kitchen where the teams learn their fate; the losing team is left to compete in a sweet and precise Pressure Test that will see one of the home cooks sent home.

The remaining Top 6 home cooks vying for the title of MASTERCHEF CANADA and the $100,000 cash prize are:

• Eugene Cheng, Financial Advisor and Rowing Coach from Vancouver, B.C.
• Kaegan Donnelly, Software Sales from Vancouver, B.C.
