Ben did come back but I still don't agree with the scoring for the final round.

Neither had the runny centre so that made them even there.

Diana's mandarin chocolate coating was too thick and just squished when cut and Ben's pear chocolate coating was too thick because he dropped it so that made them even there too.

But they all said Diana's mandarin just didn't have the flavour and they all said that Ben's had amazing flavour, especially Matt.

So in my opinion, Gary should not have marked Ben down with an 8 and Matt should not have marked Diana up with a 9, both of which were odd scores out. But that would have meant that the scores would have been even so they pushed Diana into a win and knocked Ben out.

yes I got the feeling they didnt do the right thing Bens looked a lot more like the original as well.....a bit sad really but I guess there can only be one winner.....lets hope she doesnt take the win back to Malaysia....I found her rather mechanical to be honest...

1. no

2. don't know.......am still scratching my head over the scoring in the final round of the GF that saw Diana win. My opinion only, but I think two of judges "got it wrong." Interpret that as you wish.

spot on...I think the prize money is unfair as well....

winner $250.000+ and second $40.000... they both put in the same effort and in this case 1 point separated them....I think masterchef should do more for the runner up..

I disagree with the scoring in the final round and thought, yet again, ARGHHHH!!!

The difference in prize money between 1st and 2nd doesn't bother me though and they do help the runner up. I am sure Ben will be offered a great opportunity by one of the celebrity guest chefs.

He may even get his own tv food show. Quite a few of the Masterchef contestants who did not win have their own food shows on various channels. Poh, Hayden Quinn, Ben Milbourne, Justine Schofield.

I haven't watched The Block for awhile so I think that is going to be my replacement. It starts on Sunday.

I have been enjoying The Block because I haven't watched it for a few seasons.

Ronnie and Georgia are supposed to be experienced renovators with having done 10 houses? You could have fooled me!! I am not that keen on Georgia either. There is always one though right?

Sticks and Wombat are a surprise packet with their detailing and styling. I hope they do well.
