Ben and Sashi battled it out on Tuesday night’s finale of MasterChef, but viewers were not impressed with their food choices.
Social media went into meltdown as they described their food choices as ‘ridiculous’ and embarrassing’.
‘It’s beyond ridiculous and embarrassing that these two contestants are once again cooking a curry and seafood. It’s the Grand Final FFS’, tweeted one viewer.
Ben chose to cook fried fish and mushy peas and one viewer joked of the MasterChef runner-up: ‘My cat cooks more difficult dishes than Ben’.
‘Ben has gone all Harry’s Cafe de Wheels. Fish floater,’ another slammed.
‘I am speechless! Frozen looking Birdseye fish with some peas & puree for a final! Lmfao I’m embarrassed for him’.
Sashi chose to also make one of his signature dishes, a curry leaving another viewer to vent.
‘Curry for Sashi. Never change guys.’
Ultimately, Sashi Cheliah was crowned the winner of MasterChef.
“‘I never thought this would happen,” he told TV WEEK of his win.
“I was very happy that I was able to achieve something that I had been dreaming about, and doing it in front of my family, friends and other contestants… it was a very emotional moment for me. I was literally jumping up and down screaming and cheering. It’s very hard to explain but it was a very beautiful feeling.”
