Currently, season six and 12 runner-up Laura is the favourite with odds of 1.17 to one on Sportsbet, while fellow three-time MasterChef contestant Callum’s odds are 4.33 to one.
Fans of the series are also weighing in on who will walk away with the title of the next MasterChef on Reddit.
“Callum has to win,” one fan said. “He has been consistently good in everything. A great leader, team player, his dishes have been at least twice been commended for meeting the standards of Michelin stars.”
“Laura is a fighter and has the training and skills to win,” another fan wrote. “She absolutely deserves and earns a win.”
Previously, fans of the series said some contestants like Depinder were getting ‘the winner’s edit’.
“It feels like one particular contestant is getting the winner’s edit. It’s Depinder,” one fan wrote.
“They’re giving her all the sappy music and over-the-top compliments that Emelia was getting in season 12. And they are talking about her like she has only just found her stride, even though she has been doing good all season.”
And as the finale draws nearer, many fans are waiting with baited breath to see who walks out of the MasterChef kitchen a winner.
“The intensity of this year’s grand finale is going to be high,” another fan of the series said on Reddit.
“Both have come second at least once. It’s almost cruel to them that their Callum will come second twice, or Laura three times.”
Fans have also created their own bingo cards to celebrate the finale full of words, phrases, actions and ingredients they think will be said during the final episode.
“This is so fun! Now I’m even more disappointed I can’t watch live tonight,” a fan commented under the post on Reddit.
“You forgot Jock, it’s almost guaranteed he’ll get a mention,” said another.
