MasterChef Australia is back for its 16th season in 2024, and this year the show has a new look – Andy Allen has been joined on the judging panel by MasterChef alumnus Poh Ling Yeow, celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and food blogger Sofia Levin.
22 new contestants are vying for the chance to be named as this year’s MasterChef, and despite the series only starting earlier this week, fans already think they know who will win.
This year’s aspiring cooks will be pushed to their limits in numerous gruelling challenges, and eliminations will take place throughout the season.
Thanks to betting sites such as Sportsbet, we’ve given a glimpse into who fans predict has what it takes to make it all the way to the end…
The final two contestants have finally been revealed for the 2024 season of MasterChef Australia! Nat Thaiipun and Josh Perry will be vying for the crown in the finale.
Since the very beginning of the season, fans have believed that Nat is the most likely to win MasterChef thanks to her odds on Sportsbet which sit at $1.33.
Nat has consistently proven herself to be one of this year’s top competitors, having wowed the judges multiple times with her intricate, creative, and technical dishes.
Following behind Nat in second place is Josh P who has odds of $4.33. The Tasmanian butcher has become a fan-favourite contestant thanks to his lovable personality.
Josh has proven himself as a real threat time and time again this season, and has given everything a crack. He loves making simple food that’s executed to perfection.
The 43-year-old has stayed true to his roots and always draws on inspiration from the cooks in his life, including his mum, aunty and grandmother.
Sportsbet has made accurate predictions in the past, including for recent reality shows.
The 2024 winners of Australian Survivor and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! were correctly predicted, while winners of previous seasons of My Kitchen Rules, Big Brother Australia and The Masked Singer Australia have also been correct.
As we move further through the 2024 season each week, the rankings and odds will undoubtedly change, so watch this space for more updates.
The winner of MasterChef will be determined by the judges in the finale, with the final remaining cooks having to create difficult and intricate dishes.
Their dishes will be given scores out of ten from each judge and the contestant with the most points in the end will be given the title of this year’s MasterChef.
