‘I didn’t come here to watch this!’ MasterChef fans left annoyed as they are forced to sit through a ‘long and boring’ ingredient auction
MasterChef fans are all about action in the kitchen.
But on Thursday, the auction challenge tested audiences’ patience, with many complaining that the contestants – Callum Hann, Jessica Liemantara, Sarah Tiong and Laura Sharrad – hadn’t begun cooking 25 minutes into the show.
Plenty of viewers shared their annoyance during the ‘boring’ auction for ingredients, including one who wrote on Twitter: ‘Snore. 25mins in and no cooking.’

‘I like the idea behind the auction. But I didn’t come here to watch an auction!’ another fan shared.
‘I’m getting a teeny bit bored… it’s 20mins into show and no one has started cooking yet… it’s going to be a long night,’ someone else commented.
One vented: ‘We’re really going to sit through this countdown auction for every individual ingredient?’
