Everybody who’s heard of MasterChef knows of the iconic all-time bad cooks, including, but not limited to:

Slim (S1), Tali (S3), Sasha (S4), Howard (S4), Astrid (S5), Cutter (S5), and Mark (S8).

But what about other contestants who, for various reasons, aren’t remembered as much by fans but were still horrible cooks? A lot of this is common in first/early boots as they didn’t have as many chances to screw up as people like Tali who made it far, and if you only last one episode, unless you made like an all-time bad dish, you won’t be as remembered.

So what do you guys think? Who are some contestants that you think are downright awful that not many people talk about, besides the obvious and iconic cooks everyone knows about?

I love Jennifer a lot especially with her hating Christian, but based on stats alone she’s by far the worst winner.

Throughout her run, she was extremely inconsistent overall, getting super lucky to have had shining moments occasionally, such as her lobster dish and her catfish dish (both in the same episode Joe lashed out on Christian for not listening).

She could have easily gone home on multiple occasions, but was saved due to someone doing worse or even that one time where the format of the show saved her, as she was called out during a Mystery Box challenge for her lamb being raw.

And when I say that lamb was raw, it was COMPLETELY RAW. Like Joe’s reaction was completely justified because how can you put something that raw on the plate? It was barely even kissed on all sides in the pan, with Joe even threatening to eliminate her on the spot. Just imagine if she did that the subsequent season where there WAS a mystery box elimination…

And then she proceeded to plate up the WORST dish from a winner EVER, one of the only few dishes to be dumped into the trash by Joe. The only reason she didn’t get eliminated that episode was because of Alejandra’s raw pork, which was obviously more life-threatening.

Honestly, the whole talent of Season 2 as a whole was pretty terrible, with almost everyone either being super inconsistent or flat-out bad. Even Adrian wasn’t much better at all and I would even consider him the worst runner-up as well. You pretty much only had to be pretty good (and not in the best day) to go far.

Nothing against Jennifer as a person, I had no issues with her or her personality. But objectively speaking she is the worst winner ever and she’s definitely not getting nearly as far as she did in any of these modern-day seasons where the talent has increased tenfold.

Since 2010, 15 full seasons of MasterChef have aired, with its 16th season airing right now (currently paused due to the World Cup). In the 16 years of the show’s existence, there have sure been many all-time HORRIBLE dishes, most of them unsurprisingly made by all-time bad contestants. In your opinion, what do you think is the WORST dish (or dishes) in MasterChef history?

You can also include audition dishes as well! :)

I did not expect it to end up actually going in…

I’ve been stuck on a win-loss-win-loss kind of streak and I’m like stuck between 90s and 100s in MMR. I’ve been playing like 60+ hours and started ranked as soon as I could start
