Overview
- Telefe moved the show to 21:30 to directly confront the fiction’s premiere, and MasterChef peaked at 13.1 rating points versus 4.2 for Hija del fuego, according to Ibope Kantar Media.
- The elimination test centered on “baby” ingredients with codorniz as the featured protein, and judges flagged a heavy sauce and dryness before Donato de Santis called Rusherking’s plate “sabor a pánico.”
- Rusherking and Miguel Ángel Rodríguez were named the bottom two, and the jury ultimately sent the singer home just two weeks after his repechage return.
- Coverage noted Telefe listed the show as two consecutive broadcasts separated by a commercial break, a tactic used to cushion reported averages.
- In the next episode, a live butchery class unsettled vegetarian Evangelina Anderson, yet she delivered a successful dish to reach the balcony as Marixa Balli, Claudio “Turco” Husaín, Chino Leunis and Andy Chango received grey aprons.
