MasterChef Laura's subtle swipe after fan OUTRAGE

Fans were furious over Laura's win. - by New Idea
  • 24 Jun 2020

As we reach the pointy end of the MasterChef competition every cook counts, particularly when an immunity pin is at stake.

In last night’s challenge it was Laura Sharrad who secured the prized pin. But, fans were not having it, claiming it was Poh Ling Yeow who should have won.  

WATCH: Khanh creates MasterChef's most shocking dish. 

The alphabetical immunity challenge saw Poh, Laura and Callum pick from mystery cloches labelled A to Z, under which was an ingredient starting with its corresponding letter.

The contestants then had to taste the ingredient and guess what it was. If they guessed correctly, they won the right to cook with that ingredient.

It led to some very strange flavour combinations, the most bizarre of which was Poh’s octopus, duck, persimmon, tarragon and yuzu.

If anyone could make the strange mix of ingredients work, it was Poh.

The trio shared a snap together before the show.

The season one star created a smoked duck breast with octopus and yuzu emulsion and charred persimmon but it wasn’t enough to beat out Laura’s brown butter Moreton Bay bugs with Jerusalem artichoke and watercress oil.

Fans were immediately unimpressed by the ruling claiming Laura had been favoured to win purely because she had never won an immunity pin.

Perfection from A-Z! Well done, @laurasharrad👏 @nidobarpasta

“They 100% picked Laura because she had never won immunity before. Like I said I would be, I am ANNOYED,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Poh's dish was much more innovative,” a second commented.

“Poh was def robbed of immunity today. Her dish was crazy creative,” another added.

“I really think they gave Laura the win for the story value tonight. Poh’s dish was more inventive, creative and accomplished,” a fourth said.

Laura shared a post-win photo to Instagram.

Laura took to Instagram to celebrate her win after the show, with a subtle swipe at her critics over her pasta-making.

“IMMUNITY IS MINE B**CHEZ !!! And I didn’t even cook pasta,” she wrote.

Judge Melissa Leong dubbed Poh’s dish “on so many levels intelligent cooking” praising her for “the flavours she created and the way she got there fascinates me”.

It was unanimously dubbed by the three judges as one of the most interesting dishes Poh has created to date.

While Laura’s dish “vibrated with energy” according to Melissa.
