Overview
- Paula Trapani was sent home in the show's second elimination after a 60-minute rice-and-calamari challenge, a decision announced following Sunday, October 11th's gala.
- Judges Damián Betular, Germán Martitegui and Maru Botana said Trapani’s dish failed on key technical points, with both the rice and the calamari judged insufficiently cooked.
- Hours after leaving the set Trapani told broadcasters she felt “abandoned” by the judges and said she followed a late tip from Martitegui that was later criticized by the panel.
- The episode posted strong audience numbers, reaching a peak in the low double digits and keeping MasterChef Celebrity Argentina the night's ratings leader.
- The season continues with the remaining contestants and the show keeps open the standard repechage route that eliminated participants, including Trapani, hope could return them to the competition.
