Contestant's Dream Shattered
In a shocking turn of events on the latest episode of MasterChef, a hopeful contestant faced elimination after Gregg Wallace criticized his dish as "scruffy" and failing to meet the competition's brief. It was the quarter-final stage, with six contestants vying for a spot in the next round.
Judges Unimpressed
Under the scrutiny of judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace, contestants were tasked with creating a pie according to a brief set by guest food critic Jay Rayner. While some impressed with their sweet and savory pie creations, one contestant's dish fell short of expectations.
Controversy Over Pie Definition
Contestant Pete's Vietnamese-inspired steak pie, featuring a spiced lemongrass and soy sauce beef stew topped with rough puff pastry, drew criticism for not being a traditional enclosed pie. Wallace pointed out that the pastry was only on the lid, hanging over the edges and ripped in places.
Exit from the Show
As deliberations took place to determine the advancing contestants, Wallace couldn't overlook the flaws in Pete's dish. Describing it as "scruffy," he highlighted the uneven cooking of the beef stew and unwieldy pastry. Ultimately, Pete was eliminated from the competition.
Viewer Outrage
Viewers at home echoed the judges' sentiments, expressing disappointment that Pete's creation did not meet the criteria of a proper pie. Many took to social media to critique the lack of a fully enclosed pie, with some insisting that a stew with pastry on top does not qualify as a pie in the MasterChef realm.
