Momi Giardina Gets Immediate Black Apron on MasterChef Celebrity After Raw Momo

Judge Germán Martitegui imposed the rare penalty during the last-chance round, citing “exceptional times require extreme measures.”

Overview

  • Assigned to make Nepali momo, Giardina presented dough the judges found raw, so they sampled only the sauce and deemed it overly spiced, unsettling Donato de Santis.
  • Before the tasting, she warned the panel not to try her plate and admitted she would not taste it herself.
  • Martitegui pulled out a black apron on the spot, sending her straight to the show’s tenth elimination gala.
  • During preparation, Andy Chango and Donato tried to help, Wanda Nara intervened to steady the moment, and Damián Betular cautioned her to ease off the jokes.
  • The episode fueled a wave of memes and mixed reactions online, while other contestants received seasoning critiques without facing the same sanction.
