In the most recent episode of MasterChef Celebrity 2024, which aired on Friday, July 12, the celebrities were challenged with a new mystery box challenge. They had to showcase their creativity and talent by demonstrating their cooking techniques, sauce selection, garnishes, and plating skills.
In a departure from their usual challenges, Adria Marina, Jorge Rausch, and Nicolás de Zubiría called out the celebrities who they felt did not meet the objectives of the challenge. They were searching for the next black apron recipient in the competition.
María Fernanda Yepes was the first to present her dish to the judges. She prepared a mille-feuille with Camembert cheese, blue cheese, cape gooseberries, blackberries, and a blackberry called ‘al filo’. Despite some criticism from Nicolás de Zubiría, María Fernanda welcomed the feedback as an opportunity to improve her cooking skills.
Following her, Conny Camelo presented her dish ‘Flor de loto’, which consisted of baked sirloin and rosemary-baked potatoes. Surprisingly, she received positive feedback from the judges, who commended her on her preparation and ingredient selection.
Actress Marcela Gallego then had to defend her dessert, named ‘Half a tower of Pisa’, a tiramisu that she was unable to freeze in time. The judges chose to withhold their comments, which left Marcela feeling frustrated.
Ricardo Henao, known for his role in the soap opera Rigo, prepared a brownie but received criticism for its undercooked state. Despite his explanations, the judges were unimpressed with his dish.
Franko Bonilla, a comedian, presented a signature chimichurri dish named ‘el rollo’. He believed he might have done better and expressed his disappointment at having to present that dish for elimination.
Paola Rey, famous for her role in Pasión de Gavilanes, prepared a salmon and mango salad called ‘el sol naciente’. The judges felt that Paola might have done better and encouraged her to be more creative in future challenges.
In the end, Ricardo Henao was chosen to wear the black apron as he had made the most mistakes in the challenge. The judges explained that the purpose of not naming the best dishes was to highlight areas for improvement and raise the overall standard of the competition.
