People Are Slamming The ‘MasterChef’ Judges Following Reece’s Elimination
After last night’s MasterChef saw Reece get sent home, viewers are calling out the judges — well, more specifically Jock and Andy (Melissa is still an angel, don’t worry) — for trying to stress out the contestants, which resulted in a tense service challenge.
From the outset of Sunday night’s fine dining challenge, both Jock and Andy seemed to be on a mission to confuse the contestants, who had to each cook a vegetable, fish, meat or dessert. Their criticism of Reece’s planned veggie dish, which they labelled too safe, then led to him having to change up his flavour combo.

Some of the comments made by Jock and Andy last night also contradicted themselves. While Reece’s flavour combo of beetroot and goat’s cheese was deemed too simple, Laura pairing lamb with peas didn’t receive the same level of criticism.
There was something off about the judges and viewers weren’t having it:
Meanwhile Jock is all “don’t do a classic!” to Reece and then “love a classic combination!” to both Laura and Emilia??? And then is always “you’re doing too many elements” to Callum which they never say to Reynold doooo they???? #masterchefau

Sorta pissed that Reece was criticised for his beetroot and goats cheese dish with choc-hazelnut crumb being too simple yet Emilia served fish and fennel and Laura served peas and lamb?? #MasterChefAU

Judges:
Reece don’t play it safe with a classic dish in the finals.
It needs a twist.Judges previously:
Don’t mess with classic dishes.
They are proven classics for a reason.

In the end, Reece’s dish didn’t impress celeb judges Matt Stone, Jo Barrett, Shannon Martinez, Peter Gunn, Darren Purchese and Kirsten Tibballs. His dish was described as being unseasoned and not worthy of being in the finals — which was low-key savage.
Reece will be missed for being a beacon of positivity for the rest of the contestants as well as Katy Perry’s biggest fan.
Viewers were devastated to see Reece leave the MasterChef kitchen:
Me knowing I’ll miss Reece’s energy and personality immediately and it crushes my soul. #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/s3NoVU8Qbx
