It’s a huge pet peeve of mine to hear certain contestants constantly complain that they can’t bake.

I’m not sure if some contestants go into the show, completely oblivious thinking that they’ll cook only savory dishes the whole way through. Did they forget you have to make a dessert IN THE FINALE?

Remember what Gordon told Farhan back in season nine? “You’ll never become America’s next Masterchef, if you can’t bake.”

This is a quote that I think needs to be told to future contestants. A Masterchef is well rounded in all types of cooking techniques, even desserts, it can’t just be purely savory.

I’m gonna go with Fatima

Initially I was contemplating putting Arthur as the pick for worst cook this season, due to his abysmal team captain performance at the final 13 quarry field challenge.

Some also may argue I should put Murt here. But the thing is, both of them had a top dish, and Murt at least improved drastically in the latter half of the season. The same cannot be said however for Fatima.

She was the weakest link on Gen Z, didn’t have one top dish, and was narrowly spared from elimination, due to Becca winning the cake challenge for her team

Another thing that I don’t see anyone talk about, is she kept gaslighting herself into thinking she did a good job on her subpar dishes.

Lastly, people are saying she got eliminated unfairly since she couldn’t taste the beer in the challenge doesn’t really count as a valid excuse in my eyes. She must have known she’d have to cook with things outside of her religion or beliefs.

Becca did just fine in the beer challenge, but Fatima didn’t.
