Momi Giardina Ousted From MasterChef Celebrity After Rare Immediate Black Apron

The judges had earlier bypassed the usual tasting, handing her a black apron after calling her uncooked Nepali momo unacceptable.

Overview

  • The comedian exited in the tenth elimination gala after entering with a black apron from the previous 'última chance' round.
  • In that prior challenge, her Nepali momo had raw dough and an overly spiced sauce that the judges labeled inadmissible.
  • Germán Martitegui imposed the sanction on the spot without a full tasting, as the panel only sampled the sauce before deciding.
  • Viewers pushed the show to lead its time slot with a peak of 11.5 rating points and filled social platforms with memes.
  • The episode also saw Maxi López pause his run to travel to Europe, with the jury gifting a baby apron for his child on the way.
