While ratings are strong, it seems MasterChef viewers are having a hard time adjusting their palate to the flashy new trio of judges – Andy Allen, Jock Zonfrillo and Melissa Leong.
It comes as insiders tell Woman’s Day none of the three judges are guaranteed to last as long as their predecessors! “In this climate, TV is way too volatile to have talent signing on for years and years,” explains the source. “It’s possible Ten might shake things up again in future seasons to develop more and more intrigue... anything could happen!”
Fans have even gone as far as to suggest there will only be two judges returning in 2021. “Reckon only 2 of the 3 might survive beyond this season,” speculated one fan.
At the centre of the storm is Melbourne-based food writer Melissa, 38, who has cruelly been subject to criticism on social media. “Melissa tries too hard… trying to make [up] for bagging the show in the past,” wrote one viewer last week.
