Ten would possibly have ruined their own screen with an error posted on the MasterChef website.
During Sunday night’s emotional semi-final, Reynold Poernomo, Emelia Jackson and Laura Sharrad were noticed fighting in the kitchen for a spot in the last two.
Reynold was ultimately eliminated – a detail which appeared to be reflected on Ten’s website prior to the result being read out.
By posting a screenshot on Twitter, a fan that Ten had “abandoned the unwelcome website update”.

In the show’s synopsis, Laura and Emelia were the featured contestants, while Reynold wasn’t even on the list.

During the penultimate episode, the trio took charge of a challenging dessert challenge consisting of 113 stages.
Reynold, who had become a favourite to win the show after scoring immunity twice in the past fortnight, faltered at the final hurdle while trying to recreate three-hatted guest judge Martin Benn’s signature Toffee Apple dessert.

All participants had 3 hours and forty-five minutes to complete the complex dish, which included another 10 components.
During the preparations, Reynold let go after leaving his leaf decorations in the oven for too long and nearly burned his candy, insisting that he was surprised with his paintings by introducing him to the 4 judges.
Unfortunately, everyone agreed that their candy was too sweet, while Emelia and Laura were considered almost the best in terms of flavor, meaning Reynold was sent home.
