Fans accuse MasterChef finale of being ‘rigged’
The whole of Australia tuned in on Monday night to watch the grand finale of MasterChef to see who would be victorious.
Diana Chan and Ben Ungermann were left to battle it out and fans were left on the edge of their seats until the final minutes of the show to find out who won.
In the end, Diana came out on top with a very close final score of 90 to 89 and that final winning point was awarded by the final judge.
This all rustled a few feathers amongst fans that the show may pointing out it was very “convenient” scoring.
That 1 point win is pretty convenient #MasterChefAU

Well if that wasn't the most biased judging on @masterchefau Personally I couldn't care who won, but clearly Ben was superior #MasterChefAU

I'm glad Diana won. But how convenient was the scoring.What a coincidence that it came down to one point from the last judge. #MasterChefAU

One Twitter user even said the result was “orchestrated”.
So 3 judges score the same and the 4th doesn't and there ends up only 1 point the difference. Orchestrated result. #MasterChefAU

Others simply said the whole finale was “rigged”.
#MasterChefAU clearly rigged last night.

If this season was REALLY rigged, Ben would've won. She had a lead on him from the start. FWIW, she deserved it #darkhorse #MasterchefAU
