• MomenTVs MasterChef 11, against the ropes: Jotha uncovers and points out a "tongazo

MasterChef 11 wanted its aspirants to visit hell and some found it squarely. The outdoor test in the new show of the Circus of Horrors, Bacchanal, choked more than one. What was intended to be a joke, a game, a punishment from Lucifer himself ended in drama.

The grace of visiting the Bacchanal show was to see the reaction of Fray Marcos in the midst of so much sin, but it was not Fray Marcos who had to entrust the Holy Spirit. In fact, neither being the captain, nor finishing his team with the black aprons, nor having to make a pact with the devil, Fray Marcos flinched. The tense relationship he maintains with his companions, as already seen on Monday with Jeremy, the expelled, is his pilgrimage through the desert. If MasterChef 11 wanted Fray Marcos to scandalize or put on a show for going to a show in hell, they were wrong. Hell was not for Fray Marcos but for Luca and, especially, for one of the favorites, for Alex.

What had to be an outdoor test to have fun and enjoy in an immense bacchanal, ended up being the kitchen of horrors. First, for Leti, the one expelled last night, after having been despised by her teammates and after receiving, already in the elimination test, the most complicated ingredient to make a sandwich without bread. However, Leti endured like a jabata. First, seeing how the team she wanted to be on, Luca's, rejected her and expelled her to Fray Marcos' team. Second, when Alex gave him the dry noodles to simulate the bread sandwich.

"These are things that happen," said Alex when he heard in the mouth of the judges the name Leti as the new expelled from MasterChef 11. I would have liked to see how they would have faced both the outdoor test and the elimination of any of the others. I would have liked to see how they would have faced the rejection of the comrades for considering it the weakest link. And I would have liked to see how they would face an elimination test with the most complicated ingredient to pull it off.

For Leti gave everyone a lesson, a lesson in education, a lesson in maturity, a lesson in survival. He didn't complain once, he didn't put on a bad face, he didn't reproach anything more than one or two jokes. If Leti had done what MasterChef did to Luca in the middle of the outdoor test, Leti would have continued, she would not have opened her mouth – nor could she – and, much less, she would have ended up mounting a drama to live tears.

The gag of MasterChef 11

He himself realized after returning from the outdoor test that he had had "a childish attitude". It is also true that few would have accepted the payment imposed by Lucifer for taking advantage of an advantage and that few would have endured with a bondage gag while they record you and you have to cook at the same time.

Grace, grace, what is said grace has little. I think that in MasterChef's eagerness to wake up Luca there are moments when it gets a little out of hand. Let him make the beds of all his companions so that he learns that one gets up in the morning and makes the bed, and not others make it, well. Take away the mobile so you know what it is like to live without the device, good. Reproach him for his insubstantial criticism of his colleagues, fine. Put the gag on... Yes, very funny, but for Luca it was a real humiliation.

He who, as he confessed, has taken him years to have an image on TikTok; he, who does not speak of his sexual tastes; he, who is divine death; He, who is not silent even under water. Well, he was shelled by the bondage gag with ball included. And of course, the result, absolute dramon.

The two captains, Fray Marcos and Luca, had to agree with Lucifer (Suso Silva) two advantages. The first, that the guest chef and author of the menu that was going to be served to diners, Aleix Puig, winner of MasterChef 7, was with a team during cooking. And the other, to have throughout the test in kitchens the figure of one of the judges. As Fray Marcos said and as he wanted MasterChef to be, everything was a trap. First, the presence of Aleix, Luca's chosen advantage for the red team, was a total deception. Aleix was neither seen nor expected, but Luca had to eat -never better said- the trap of agreeing with the devil: the gag.

I insist, to see who of all of them would have put on the gag and not complained. Pleasant does not have to be and even less when you are cooking and living moments of real tension. If you add to that that Luca is the divo of MasterChef 11, then turn off and let's go. It took 10 minutes of cooking to break down, step aside and tearfully refuse to put on the gag. And, look, MasterChef could have told him that if he was removed they were going to eliminate or take away some privilege, but no. MasterChef 11 does not want to make wood from the fallen tree, especially when the tree has already been cut down.

Pepe Rodriguez came to Luca's rescue in kitchens. She saw him crying saying that his companions were reproaching him that he did everything wrong – only Ana pointed out one thing on one of the dishes – and that he could not stand the gag and that he wanted to remove it yes or yes. Not a worse one, Pepe Rodríguez took it off, patted him on the back and in a matter of a nano second there were no tears, there was no drama, there was no more disgust. Let's see who deceived whom.

In fact, it is true that the cooking of the red team was better than that of the blue and that their dishes, at least, were edible, but seven diners were left without trying the macaroni of Aleix's menu because Luca decided to be with Samantha Vallejo-Nágera.

But that's okay, poor Luca, who had lived a real purgatory with the gag. Oh, how deceived he has them! Being Luca almost the same age as Alex, the treatment of one and the other is of an abysmal difference. To the first, between cottons, to the second, as MasterChef is supposed to be, to demand.

However, Jotha, Fray Marcos' emissary to negotiate the advantage, did not have even the option of an advantage. The figure of a judge was literal, the figure of a judge. A cardboard Jordi Cruz that Jotha had to go through the kitchens of the blue team in each of his movements. And what did Jotha do? Well, despite having a more than tense relationship with the judges in MasterChef 11, Jotha took it with humor, tied herself to the figure of Jordi Cruz and pim, pam, pum was doing her thing, although hers was a real disaster. Like almost all the cooking of the blue team.

Leti, repudiated and expelled from MasterChef 11

Alex, the favorite of Masterchef 11 favorites, despaired. There were many mistakes, many of his own, but also of Fray Marcos who, again, waited for the divine to get him out of the quagmire. Few orders, fair organization, control, without going over. However, the rejection that the Dominican is receiving from a good part of his peers, I think is making the judges and MasterChef 11 turn a blind eye to him and push him more than he deserves. There is no assessment in which what Fray Marcos has done, whether right or wrong, is applauded. And if that the burden is taken by others, last night Alex.

The former contestant of MasterChef Junior passed those of Cain, a real hell, during the cooking. The calculation of the wings, bad, the elaboration of the meat of the hamburger, bad, the treatment with his companions, bad. He was so disappointed by the terrible cooking of his team that when the judges, despite sending them to the elimination test, had to choose the best of the outdoor test, they chose Álex, not only because of how overwhelmed he was by the result and by the elaboration, but because, indeed, it seemed that he was the only one who cared. Of course, again, with Leti he was baited, the same as with Jorge Juan who was not even in his team.

After the other team disowned her, Leti had to hear from Alex that he had not done enough, that to be peeling potatoes all cooked is not to have worked one hundred percent ... Well, look, at least the potatoes came out. And it is true that as always happens in MasterChef the levels between aspirants are very unbalanced, one carries all the stones on their backs and others do what they can or what they want. I don't think Leti was one of the latter.

Alex's words did not sit well with him, but he let him know it with all the education in the world. However, for much education, Alex saved him from not having done enough in the outdoor test of MasterChef 11. Having been the best, they gave him the advantage of distributing among the black aprons the ingredient that had to replace the bread of the sandwiches. He distributed as they always do, the best for friends. And, although, according to the white aprons. in the house the relationship of Alex and Leti is great and Alex is always with her, the aspirant gave her the worst ingredient of all, dry noodles.

Leti knew what was going to happen from the very moment she gave them to her, she was going to be expelled. And still, he tried to pull out a decent snack that met the standards of the test. There was no luck, the rejection and contempt of her companions, condemned her. And the gates of MasterChef 11's hell were closed to him.
