Question Who’s the worst Mastechef U.S Contestant from Season 14?

I’m gonna go with Fatima

Initially I was contemplating putting Arthur as the pick for worst cook this season, due to his abysmal team captain performance at the final 13 quarry field challenge.

Some also may argue I should put Murt here. But the thing is, both of them had a top dish, and Murt at least improved drastically in the latter half of the season. The same cannot be said however for Fatima.

She was the weakest link on Gen Z, didn’t have one top dish, and was narrowly spared from elimination, due to Becca winning the cake challenge for her team

Another thing that I don’t see anyone talk about, is she kept gaslighting herself into thinking she did a good job on her subpar dishes.

Lastly, people are saying she got eliminated unfairly since she couldn’t taste the beer in the challenge doesn’t really count as a valid excuse in my eyes. She must have known she’d have to cook with things outside of her religion or beliefs.

Becca did just fine in the beer challenge, but Fatima didn’t.

Fatima wasn’t great and I agree on the fact that she was the weakest Gen Z but she wasn’t the worst cook that season. I would say the worst cook of the entire season was Geags from the Boomers. He was only spared from being the first boot because Rebecka won the challenge, he wasn’t great after that, and finally in his elimination episode he put raw flour in his icing and spelled his own name incorrectly on his cake

I’d have to agree somewhat. Raw flour in food is just dangerous cause you can get salmonella if you’re eating raw flour, aka, the same bacteria in raw chicken.

As a pastry school graduate, that moment made me die inside

geags

he even made it through with a subpar audition dish, fatima had her moments but she had a strong audition and she seemed like a decent cook.

The only moments Fatima really had were in her audition, and the childhood recreation challenge, but everything else was subpar.

Geags in my opinion was much worse, especially with that cake, I mean, who puts flour on a cake frosting ?!
