MasterChef Celebrity Argentina: Morena Beltrán eliminated amid jury controversy
In the latest elimination gala of MasterChef Celebrity Argentina, journalist and sports personality Morena Beltrán was eliminated from the competition. The challenge required participants to prepare dishes using pre-cooked tripe (mondongo) within sixty minutes. Despite her efforts, her milanesa dish failed to convince the jury, consisting of Germán Martitegui, Damián Betular, and Maru Botana.
The episode has been marked by significant social media scrutiny regarding judge Maru Botana. Viewers have criticized her for tasting minimal portions or appearing to simulate eating without consuming the food. Botana addressed these criticisms in an interview, stating, “I eat very little, like a little bird,” and defended her professional judgment, noting that her thirty years of experience allow her to identify quality without large quantities.
Former judge Donato de Santis also spoke out in support of Botana, emphasizing that every professional has a unique style and that “everyone moves according to how they feel.” Meanwhile, the program continues to draw high ratings, with recent gala viewership climbing to 11.3 points.
