MasterChef names Larissa its 2019 winner

Simon didn't leave empty-handed, scoring $20,000 for his third place finish, while Tessa scored $30K for her troubles. 

But as MasterChef Australia came into its final weeks, contestants faced accusations of using underhand tactics to give them an edge over their competitors. 

After Wednesday night's episode, fans were quick to accuse Larissa Takchi of "sabotage" when the green team, of which she was a member, were sent into eliminations. 

Larissa was called out by fans on social media because she's the only one who had an immunity pin in the lead up to finale.

"This challenge was structured wrong, Larissa had zero incentive to do well," one viewer tweeted after the episode.
