The Most Hilarious Tweets From The Premiere Of ‘MasterChef’
The new season of MasterChef kicked off last night and thank God we are finally saved from our self-isolation misery. Hallelujah.
Given our current circumstances being stuck at home in lockdown, it’s no surprise that the premiere absolutely slayed it in the ratings, drawing in 1.23 million viewers which is the series’ best launch since 2015. With the new episode, came three spanking new judges — Jock Zonfrillo, Melissa Leong and Andy Allen — who proved to be a welcome change and brought a fun dynamic.
As this season is all about bringing back the best contestants for a chance to win, the premiere reunited some of our faves, including Poh Ling Yeow, Callum Hann and Reynold Poernomo. The first episode saw the judges challenge the contestants to create a finale-worthy dish and they did not disappoint.
Let’s pray this season keeps us all sane during these trying times. Thankfully, last night’s tweets were straight-up fire.

If Poh gets eliminated at any stage all the remaining contestants should just start tearing the kitchen apart. Like throwing ovens through the windows and ripping up the floors any everything. #MasterChefAU

I love it when the contestants place a memory or a theme on their dishes.
Last night I made stale oreos dipped in coconut yogurt. The theme was loneliness. #MasterChefAU— Mish Wittrup (@MishWittrup) April 13, 2020

Hayden being vulnerable in a backwards hat about cooking a 18 course meal is the most 2020 thing i’ve seen. #MasterChefAU

Reynold "hopes he's done enough" before listing 3079 different things he's put into a tiny bowl. #MasterChefAU
