RIP: Ray Finally Met His Demise On ‘MasterChef’, Here’s His Funniest Live-Tweets
Our fave MasterChef underdog Ray Silva finally lost his apron on last night’s ep. But he gave a bloody good run.
As the blue team went into the elimination challenge, in the end it came down to Ray’s humble fish and chips dish, that the judges deemed ‘too simple’. The chef had become known among viewers for his staying power in the comp, appearing to fluke his way through the cook-offs. His dumb luck ability to dodge eviction week after week was frustrating, but equally impressive.
However, what us in the Twittersphere knew Ray for were his hilarious live-tweets every damn episode. Often taking aim at his own (often hopeless) cooking.
In typical Ray-style, he even posted this as he was given the boot last night:

The man just loves to tweet. He was also an avid retweeter of tweets about him – for the most part, making fun of his rough run in the competition, and how often he nearly went home. So in honour of Ray, we’ve collated some of his best live-tweets from the entire series
Here’s all 50 shades of Ray (sorry, I had to):
He was v. aware of his own misgivings.
Ahh. Sloth mode: ACTIVATE! #MasterChefAU

He often got a bit sassy about the judges and the other contestants.

We love you Ray. Plus thank you for not pulling a John circa 2015 and recreating his white chocolate/seafood relay dish disaster.
I should do seafood with a white chocolate veloute and go out in style! #MasterChefAu pic.twitter.com/lUTGNeAFh2
