Overview
- Ex‑contestant Delfina Gayoso alleged the judges were "cruel" to non‑famous participants and said the celebrity edition allows practices once barred, such as bringing recipe books, tasting others’ dishes and private conversations with the jury.
- Current celebrities including Eugenia Tobal and Julia Calvo have publicly objected to the judges’ tone and feedback during the season.
- The eighth elimination gala used an egg‑centered format with a rapid fried‑egg test followed by a 50‑minute dish, and the quick‑challenge winner earned balcony immunity.
- Chef Donato De Santis did not appear in the episode, and Santiago Giorgini joined the staff in Damián Betular’s place for recent installments.
- The Telefe broadcast led its slot, rising from a 9.9 start to a 13.1 peak and outperforming competing shows in the time period.
