It would be an understatement to say that we were eagerly waiting to see who would win the latest season of MasterChef Australia.
The top 3 finalists, Kishwar, Pete, and Justin who were equally talented and skilled had to take part in a final round of a pressure test.
But the wait is over because the verdict is out and Indian-origin Justin Narayan has bagged the trophy for the 13th season of the reality show. Not just that, he even received a whopping cash price worth ₹18,600,000 or 1.86 Cr.
Congratulations to our #MasterChefAU 2021 WINNER! 🏆🎉 pic.twitter.com/NaxVzRtd1H

Naturally, Twitter is buzzing about it and this is what it had to say.

Weldone Justin, bad luck Pete. If not for the raw quail Pete would have won.

Not just anyone could walk in and understand that recipe, there’s a certain amount of intuition that goes into the cook. Also the grand finale was 3 rounds and Pete served raw duck in one of those rounds. Justin won it fair and square.

Justin epitomised d phrase ‘slow & steady wins d race’. A crowd favorite underdog who saved his best 4 last. Congrats 2 Justin on deservedly winning d trophy & also 2 Pete & Kish on reaching d finale & performing so well throughout #MasterChefAU 2021 👏🏽

Some wanted kishwar from bangladesh to win (perfect reality tv contestant.. no doubt a good cook but a lot of back story/tears/emotions too). But jo jeeta wahi sikandar so..

Though I wanted Pete to win. But am so so happy Justin won. He managed to keep his cool since getting the poor feedback & emerged amazing in all pressure test. On top of it his dishes are so elegant & masterchef looking ❤️

Justin was so unassuming initially, lot of credit to the Judges Jock and Andy for inspiring and guiding him throughout and bringing out the best in him. Congratulations Justin 🙌

Congratulations to Justin! Who could’ve thought, really! He had such a non-serious attitude earlier on in the competition. I was definitely shocked to see a pressure test for the grand final! Like seriously 🙄

Amazing congratulations..well deserved 👏❤..both Kishwar and Justin were my favorite

JUSTIN has been an incredible fun on the show… He has got some amazing sense of humor and of course terrific cooking skills and also he has got a great attitude of keeping himself calm and peace under pressure. Great to see him win! Congrats #JustinNarayan. @masterchefau

Most disappointing outcome of Masterchef so far. There should be some way to filter out non serious, less capable folks like Justin who survived only luck landedhim into winning teams. It’s a sad reminder that life is not always fair and it’s not always the best who get the best

Stupidity at best. Pressure test copying a recipe rather than letting them be creative and build their own 3 course menu to show their growth & skills they’ve learnt. #MasterChefAU @Kishjustathome @masterchefau

Disappointing results!

Pete and Kish were better in every sense. They totally deserved this trophy.
Not deserved in comparison to Pete but still Congratulations Justin!

Love Justin @masterchefau ..but it's an absolute joke he won it over Pete and Kishwar!!
— Somnath Ghosh (@ghosh_somnath) July 13, 2021
Well, congratulations are in order because Justin has made us all proud.
