MasterChef Australia’s Declan Cleary hinted subtly at the judges following the elimination of his companion, Sarah Todd, on Sunday.
In response to Sarah leaving the Channel Ten reality show, Declan posted a tribute on Instagram acknowledging her hard work.
Instead of sharing a collection of affectionate photos featuring the duo, he posted one particular image showcasing their warm embrace outside the MasterChef headquarters, among other images.
‘Great job, babe,’ he captioned the images.
In my opinion, among everyone in that kitchen, you stood out as the most courageous, innovative, and tenacious chef. Truly, I found it difficult to compete with your skills.

Later on, it seemed as though Declan made some subtle jabs or criticisms towards the judges, namely Andy Allen, Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Jean-Christophe Novelli.
In the midst of the uncertainties, the recurring doubts, and instances where it seemed less like encouragement and more like silent opposition, I stood tall with my chin up, Declan penned.
You’ve consistently remained authentic, showcasing your fierce creativity, bold intuition, and the courage to stand by your convictions. I adore you immensely.
Some supporters expressed similar feelings as Declan, with one commenting on Reddit: “For the first time this season, I sensed a subtle wave of negativity towards a competitor.
‘Though I must say I never expected anyone would come out and express it like Declan did.’
Another added: ‘I love that he put this whole bit on second-guessing and undercurrents out there.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m not merely echoing the voices of fans and Redditors, but also those of my fellow competitors. It’s high time for MCAU to bring about some changes next year; it’s a call that can’t be ignored!
On Declan’s post, another fan suggested that the judges might have been biased against Sarah.
It displeased me greatly that Andy and Poh frequently criticized your ideas about what you’re creating, and Sofia often gave you an unfriendly look, as they pointed out.
As for what you said, Declan, I agree with your point, but allow me to clarify that the resistance we encountered wasn’t merely quiet, it was quite audible – a fact not missed by our viewers.
Others claimed that the show was ‘rigged’, with judges having already picked a ‘favourite’.
One disgruntled spectator commented, ‘Reading through the remarks confirms my opinions significantly. It’s clear that this series must be fixed.’
It’s quite evident that they’re rigging the competition in favor of Laura, as they seem unwilling to provide an opportunity for others.
On Sunday evening, I found myself falling just short of the top five on MasterChef Australia. It’s a bittersweet moment for me as I reflect upon this incredible journey.
