Luck Ra Steps In for La Joaqui on MasterChef Celebrity, Earning Judges’ Praise in Surprise Debut

The singer filled in during the Nov. 3 broadcast after La Joaqui missed filming due to tour commitments.

Overview

  • Host Wanda Nara announced La Joaqui’s absence on air and introduced Luck Ra as her official stand-in for the episode.
  • Luck Ra entered wearing her apron, later donning one with his name, and leaned into the on-air romance angle with a heart-print shirt featuring the couple.
  • The challenge used the show’s conveyor-belt mechanic, and Luck Ra served a chicken leg with carrot, sweet potato and boniato purées plus fries, styled as a kids’ menu.
  • Judges Damián Betular, Donato de Santis and Germán Martitegui gave generally positive feedback, sending him to the balcony.
  • Wanda pressed him about a possible wedding during lighthearted banter, and Luck Ra said he had prepped by watching episodes, without knowing how long he will remain.
