As much as we hate it, people are eliminated from the competition. As usual, the current and former contestants, along with fans and Judges rallied around Ilse after Episode 14 (19 June).

Ilse tweeted:
I feel so blessed to have so much support from so many people. Thanks so much to @MasterChef_SA and @MNet for this amazing journey.
