The Masterchef finale. And the winner is....

by NATALIA HAWK

***SPOILER ALERT****

They started with three. And then there were two. And the winner of the fourth season of Masterchef is…..

Andy!!!! (He’s the one on the left)

WINNER: Andy – Andy is an apprentice electrician and is incapable of any emotion besides “completely and utterly stoked”, which makes him very endearing. I fell in love when his mum came on the show and he hugged her approximately 1400 times in one episode – I love a boy who is nice to his mum. Food-wise, he’s been absolutely killing it so far this week. Round of applause for my Andy.

Second place: Julia – Julia is a legal secretary, a music teacher and a dessert master. She also runs a market stall on the weekends selling her baked goods. She has a husband, two very cute dogs and what is possibly the scariest death stare I’ve ever seen. Said death stare has made it a bit hard for me to warm up to her, but there’s no doubt that her cookbook would be AWESOME (I am a sucker for anything dessert-y).

Third place – Audra – Audra is an account manager, mother-of-two and chief of Asian food. Word on the rumour mill is that she runs a catering business out of her home, so the debate has been raging over whether she is actually an amateur cook. Regardless – she’s really talented, really lovely and her children are adorable. (Tackling the big issues here, people.)
