MasterChef Australia fans have once again turned on Poh Ling Yeow, accusing the bookies’ favourite of being ‘frustrating’ and a ‘drama queen’.
After her disastrous effort during Tuesday’s group challenge, which saw her cut her finger and overcook her dish, fans flocked to Facebook to slam the 47-year-old celebrity chef.
‘She is a drama queen at best, last night she was bad,’ one viewer commented, while another wrote: ‘I absolutely love Poh but last night was very frustrating to watch.’

A third annoyed viewer wrote: ‘What did she actually do this time besides cut her finger and burn some potatoes?’
Many fans of the Channel 10 cooking show couldn’t seem to understand how she was still a contender in the competition.
‘I’m not a Poh hater but she is so frustrating! Every team challenge she puts her team in the weeds and then she manages to slip past elimination. It’s really hard to watch,’ one viewer observed.

‘She was useless as a mentor last season. I have no time for her at all, she makes me not want to watch the show,’ another added.
Several fans accused her of bringing too much ‘drama’ to the series, and claimed she had been given too much screen time.
‘She creates the drama and it’s the constant laughing that I find annoying. I just don’t like the drama she creates, it takes [away] from the others and smacks of arrogance,’ one viewer commented.

Some people labelled her ‘very disorganised’ and claimed she ‘deliberately’ acts ‘all confused’.
One conspiracy theorist even joked that Poh had been ‘sent in to sabotage’ this year’s season of the show.
