A Masterchef contestant was immediately removed from the show after serving up the judges a questionable dish that had them spitting feathers – literally.
Oh, Masterchef.
There’s nothing better than watching over confident contestants talk themselves up on the VT – only to have them produce an absolute abomination of the dish that the judges’ waste no time in ripping into.
We all like to sit on our sofas, Goggleboxing and declaring that we could do better.
Although this time, most of us probably could because anything would be better than what one contestant served up on Masterchef Espãna.

Sometimes when you’re cooking, not every job is pleasant, and if you want to serve up something that looks delicious and inviting, sometimes you have to get a little bit dirty.
And that’s something this contestant had no plans of doing.
In 2020, Saray Carrillo, 27, was mortified by one of the challenges where she had to pluck and cook a whole partridge.
Unless you’re vegan or vegetarian, cutting up poultry is pretty standard cooking practice, but Carrillo apparently expressed her fear of having to do such a task and took the challenge as a personal attack.
Defiantly, she decided to serve the bird, unplucked, uncooked and unappetising, garnished on a bed of spring onions, some kind of sauce and garnished with a couple of cherry tomatoes.
Take a look:
Umm, yeah. (Masterchef Espana / YouTube)
I think it’s hilarious, but the judges certainly didn’t think so – the only way to describe the look on their faces is ‘p*ssed’.
This was only exasperated more when Carrillo approached the bench with a cheeky smirk on her face, whilst the rest of the contestants looked on in horror by the dish she was presenting.
One judge said something in Spanish that translated to: “This is never seen in MasterChef.”
The judges, rightly so, grilled Carrillo and were not exactly sad to see the back of her.
As she plonked her apron down on the bench and strutted out of the Masterchef kitchen, the judges watched her leave with faces like a slapped a**.
The clip was from a season that aired in 2020 and went viral at the time, and has since been viewed 7.4 million times on YouTube.Play
People were quick to mock the episode on social media.
One YouTube user wrote: “HOW DISGUSTING GOD, I really can’t handle cherry tomatoes.”
Someone else saw fit to quote TV Chef legend Gordon Ramsay saying: “IT’S SO RAW THAT IT CAN STILL FLY!”
While another brutally said: “It is tragic that a person like this is a social educator when in reality she is yet to be civilized.”
I wonder what John and Greg would have made of all this?
A glimpse into Chaz Bono’s life: Cher faced challenges with his uniqueness
Chaz Bono has faced numerous challenges as the child of music legend Cher, especially growing up in the public eye. His journey is incredibly inspiring. At 39, in 2011, he began transitioning to male, and while Cher has always supported him, their relationship experienced some initial hurdles.
Cher struggled with Chaz’s coming out as gay, reacting strongly when he first revealed his identity. Over time, however, their bond strengthened as they navigated his transition together. Chaz was born Chastity Bono on March 4, 1969, and became well-known through appearances on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.
As a child, Chaz felt different from his peers and struggled to connect with them. At 18, he came out as a lesbian, later realizing he identified as male. Cher admitted it was difficult for her to accept at first but ultimately embraced Chaz’s journey, even describing a “mourning period” for the loss of her daughter.
Chaz’s transition included a successful career in entertainment, notably becoming the first transgender man on Dancing with the Stars in 2011. He also faced personal challenges, including weight struggles. His health journey began in earnest during his transition, leading to significant weight loss, although it came with the challenge of excess skin.
After a tumultuous engagement with Jennifer Elia, who supported him through his transition, Chaz found love again with Shara Mathes in 2017. They maintain a relatively private relationship, with Chaz expressing gratitude for their bond on social media.
Chaz Bono’s story is one of bravery and resilience, and his journey inspires many. Please share this story to honor his courage and encourage others facing similar challenges.
