MasterChef juries eliminated Lucho Díaz and Alicia Machado in the midst of a controversial decision. Internet users celebrated the departure of the former Miss Universe but regretted that of the former councilor.
If there is a word that can describe this season of MasterChef Celebrity, it is «controversy», because since the broadcast of the first chapters there have been various situations never before seen in the program, which have been harshly criticized in networks.
One of them has been rivalry and the fights starring paisa actress Carla Giraldo and renowned comedian Liss Pereira, Well, even in one chapter, given the constant attacks of the actress towards the Nortesantanderean, she assured that he should receive an award for refraining from giving him «a fist in that mug».
However, although the famous were in the eye of the hurricane, the most recent episode this weekend unleashed a whole wave of criticism and comments on social networks for an unprecedented elimination. What happened?
MasterChef juries eliminated Lucho Díaz and Alicia Machado from reality
It all started during a challenge in which the participants had to prepare a very typical dish of Colombian cuisine, which was the traditional stuffed or «morcilla». The chefs selected the best, among which were that of actor Gregorio Pernía, Liss Pereira, former councilor Lucho Díaz and singer Marbelle.
All of these preparations received good reviews, but One of the ones that stood out the most was that of Lucho, whom Judge Nicolás de Zubiría assured him was one of his best presentations.. Since then, most viewers believed that he would not only be the winner of the challenge but also get the immunity pin. But unfortunately it was not so.
well surprisingly the winner was the singer Marbelle, who, in addition to being exempt from cooking, had the power to organize couples so that they all met a new challenge which consisted of deconstructing fast food.
This apparently discouraged the former councilman a lot, who once again tried to meet the challenge, hand in hand with his partner Freddy Beltrán, but Although his preparation was good, he did not captivate the judges, so he was finally at risk of elimination.
After knowing the decisions of the juries and hearing what the next challenge would be (an oriental rice), Lucho decided that he would go out on his own, because He expressed that he did not want to continue participating in a place where his work was not valued (as was the case with blood sausage).
visibly upset the cook took off his apron, while trying to be convinced by Claudia Bahamón herself to make her last effort and continue in the competitionbut he flatly refused. She did not even want to go to the pantry, so the presenter very kindly made a small market for her so that she could prepare her own.
Immediately the stopwatch started ticking, the participants got down to work except Lucho, So he was completely still. For almost 20 minutes he stood still at his station until finally he decided to start cooking… But it was already too late!
Despite the fact that his classmates applauded his action and he even received help from one of the jurors, it was very little time to cook and the rice was left raw. Arriving at the lectern and presenting his dish called ‘the one to go’, the judges did not hesitate to launch strong criticism.
The rest of the contestants presented their dishes but It was Alicia Machado who fared the worst, because her rice had been left as raw as Lucho’s.
The judges deliberated and after sending the other contestants to the balcony, they surprisingly decided to eliminate not only Lucho but Alicia, since it was inexcusable to present a rice in such conditions.
After the comments of the juries in front of his performance and his last dish, In his farewell, the former councilor assured that he had made the rice in this way with the intention of being eliminated, which was not at all well received by the Chefs or by Bahamón herself, who had helped him in the midst of his desperation.
On the other hand, Machado said goodbye to everyone in the best way during the program, but When he reached his networks, he proved the opposite…
The departure of both generated a whole wave of reactions on social networks, because while some celebrated the departure of the former beauty queen, others They lamented the departure of the former councilor, alleging that the little recognition he had received was unfair and that everything is a matter of «thread».

The controversial statements of Alicia Machado after her departure from MasterChef
Despite the fact that the chapter in which his elimination took place was only broadcast until this Sunday, July 11, in days past (more exactly on July 7) The former Venezuelan Miss Universe published a video on her networks with which she caused great controversy.
Well, in it he thanked the RCN channel for the invitation and his fans for their support, but he assured that although his experience was more positive than negative, at all times he was the victim of attacks against him, some of xenophobia, envy and resentment on the part of some colleagues, which made her sympathize even more with her compatriots.
This of course unleashed all kinds of reactions on networks, because while her followers defended her, the vast majority assured that everything was a lie and that «The discomfort was generated by herself due to her bad attitude and terrible willingness to work as a team.»
