MasterChef Celebrity Tops Ratings as Third Elimination Caps Fiery Transformation Gala

The challenge forced contestants to reinvent Argentine staples under sharp scrutiny from the three judges.

Overview

  • Telefe’s cooking competition led its time slot with a peak near 13.3 rating points during the third elimination night, according to LA NACION.
  • Contestants cooked with mystery boxes of quintessential Argentine ingredients yet had to avoid traditional flavors, a brief that triggered technical errors and stern critiques.
  • Judges identified the night’s weakest performers as Andy Chango, Alex Pelao, Luis Ventura and one more contestant before deciding the latest exit after deliberation.
  • An on-air dispute surfaced when Germán Martitegui noted strong similarities between the dishes of Sofía Martínez and Eugenia Tobal, prompting a denial of copying.
  • Walas was saved in the last-chance round for his dish “Berenjena tanto amor,” as the series sustained audience dominance and reported strong YouTube reach of 3 million unique users and 18.7 million views.
