The cooks' abilities are shown in the Wright Person-Item map: Winsteps Table 1.3. Diana Chan is the overall winner. We are surprised that relatively high performer 19 Bryan Zhu was eliminated so early. Karlie won a Power Pin. Sarah and Eloise won Immunity pins and used them (i in the data). Tamara was eliminated, but immediately reinstated in the Second Chance episode.

Masterchef Australia is a TV series on Australian TV, Network 10, tenplay.com.au. Series 9 started on May 1st, 2017, and the final episode aired on July 24, 2017.

Each episode, or part of an episode, is a column (item, task) in the data matrix. The first three episodes are for qualification and are summarized in the "Q" column, the first column (item, task) in the data matrix. In the first episode, 19 home-cooks cooked dishes good enough for immediate qualification, scored "1" here. In the second episode 3 more are added, scored "2". In the third episode 1 more, scored "3", making 24 contesting cooks in total. Each cook is a row in the data matrix.

In most subsequent episodes, the winner or winning group of cooks are scored "1", the losers are scored "3", and the middle group are scored "2". Since the scoring varies across episodes, the Partial Credit Model, ISGROUPS=0, is used. For details of each episode, please see Wikipedia: MasterChef Australia (series 9).

At the end of "Elimination" episodes, the losing cook is eliminated from the competition. In "Immunity" episodes, the winning cook competes against a professional chef. If the cook wins, the cook is awarded an "Immunity" pin, which can be used to escape from a future "Elimination" episode. The professional chefs differ for each episode, but are conceptualized to have the same ability and so are identified as a 25th contestant in the data matrix.

The cooks are listed by name. The number immediately preceding each name is their order of elimination, counting backwards. Rashedul Hasan was the first cook eliminated and so is numbered 24. The overall winner, Diana Chan, is numbered 1.

The columns (items) are labeled with codes such as "2-MB". "2" indicates the week number. "MB" indicates the type of competition. They are Q=Qualification, MB=Mystery Box, E=Elimination based on individual performance, S=Invention Test, cooking for oneSelf, I=Immunity challenge, C=cook-off against a professional chef, T=Team cooking, TE=Elimination based on Team performance, 2C=Second Chance. In the data, "." indicates that the cook is eliminated. "i" indicates the cook used an Immunity pin to bypass an Elimination competition. "B" indicates the cook is given a Bye for this event.

After each episode, the cooks' performances are scored based on the judges opinions and entered into an Excel spreadsheet, available here. This is then converted into the Winsteps control and data file shown below and here by means of the Winsteps Excel/RSSST menu. USCALE=-1 has been added to reverse the measures, because lower score indicates higher ability.
