Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars
Nine’s evening began with episode 5 of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars.
Ramsay celebrated one of Britain’s most beloved and iconic brands: Cadbury Chocolate.
The teams are tasked to help launch Cadbury’s new ‘slices’ range, having to devise a high-concept and interactive publicity stunt to launch the product. Their unique creation must take the form of a social media-friendly video, directing foot traffic from the general public to the product via a QR code.
The teams had to get creative and disruptive with their stunt to weather as many AR code scans and likes on their video as they could. The team whose stunt attracted the biggest audience engagement with views and likes to their video wins, with the others facing elimination.
The losing team had a face-off against Gordon and Janine and there was nowhere to hide as they are grilled on their performance.
