Marley to Fill In on MasterChef Celebrity as Spicy Challenge Fuels On‑Air Sparks

Telefe names Alejandro “Marley” Wiebe as a short‑term replacement during Maxi López’s weeklong absence for a family emergency in Switzerland.

Overview

  • The latest episode featured a fire-and-spice mystery-box built around pork shoulder, judged by Damián Betular, Donato de Santis and Germán Martitegui.
  • Maxi López christened his plate “La bondiola de Wanda” and joked about Wanda Nara, a wink widely linked in coverage to earlier leaked chats involving Mauro Icardi.
  • Valentina “Valu” Cervantes dedicated her dish to her father and broke down in tears, drawing an emotional response from the judges.
  • Medals were awarded and one contestant was sent directly to an elimination round, keeping the competition’s format-driven stakes front and center.
  • López traveled to Switzerland after his pregnant partner, Daniela Christiansson, had a domestic accident, and both he and Telefe indicated Marley’s participation will be brief.
