Warning: Spoilers ahead. If you don’t want to know who makes it into the Masterchef finale, we’d suggest you stop reading.

Watching other people cook on television is practically Australia’s favourite national past time and last night the Masterchef grand finalists were decided with a result that left fans of the show divided.

The final three contestants – Sashi Cheliah, Ben Borsht and Khanh Ong – were asked to cook for 60Masterchefalumni, each cook required to make a main course and dessert for 20 past contestants. Some familiar faces included season one winner Julie Goodwin, and Ben Milbourne, Elena Duggan and Hayden Quinn.

Celebrated chef Shannon Bennett, of Melbourne’s famous Vue De Monde, was also present offering his guidance to the contestants.

While all three cooks struggled with preparing their food before the end of service, Khanh’s sub-par canh chua ca (a traditional Vietnamese fish dish) and violet ice cream, honeycomb and dark chocolate mousse ultimately excluded him from the final two.

However when it came to tasting, some fans accused the judges of showing favouritism towards Ben, who has developed a reputation for consistently cooking with fish.

you expected more from Khan’s complex dish but raved about Ben’s simple fish and two carrots that he does every episode? what!!!! #MasterChefAU

What does everyone think of Ben’s fish dish(s) Inventive or same same but different? #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/l72N1yx2lk

One moment they say Bens dish is basic, classic and minimalist which is wonderful and they falling over with praise. 10 minutes later they say Sashis dish was not sophisticated enough?

They should rename #MasterChefAU to Master(biased,rigged,scripted)Chef Australia…

Take a look at Khanh’s best hits on Masterchef:

Other fans, although in the minority, were happy with the final two and expressed their excitement ahead of Tuesday night’s grand finale, which will see Sashi and Ben recreating a dish designed by internationally renowned chef Heston Blumenthal.

Yeeeeeeees. A #MasterchefAU final where I’m happy whoever wins. Love Ben and @sashi_cheliah.

Ben realised pan frying the fish would be a risk and bakes them, while Khanh overheats the pan and burns his fish. Yet people just like to hate Ben #MasterChefAU
