MasterChef controversies spark criticism in Argentina and Spain

Former contestant and model Rocío Marengo said she felt mistreated by judge Germán Martitegui during the 2020 Argentine edition of MasterChef Celebrity, describing the experience as a "bitter" one and criticizing the show's editing and judging style.

In Spain, the latest episode of MasterChef 14 saw a contestant expelled after delivering a dish far below the judges' standards and responding confrontationally, prompting heated debate among viewers about performance quality and contestant conduct.
