Q&A between Silvia Zummo and Bruno Barbieri during the Skill: the chef comments on her condition, calling it scruffy, and she replies piqued "I thought we were talking about the dish, not my elegance."
The new episode of 12 Masterchef saw a very unedifying curtain, and with protagonists Bruno Barbieri and Silvia Zummo, during the Skill Test. The competitor of Caserta, for this test, she tried a liver pie, but more than the pie, the Chef Bruno Barbieri looked at something else.
When she arrived before the jury table, and after that chef Jeremy Chan tasted his dish together with the other three judges, Barbieri has shifted the focus from the plate to her, calling it dirty and messy.
Not only that: after judging his dish "a mess in the sense of the term", lo Head he said a decisive sentence not pretty, And that no womanleast of all in front of thousands of people who are watching it on television, would like to hear:
"I hope I don't dream about you tonight, it would be a nightmare."

Masterchef 12, Silvia Zummo does not send them to chef Barbieri, but is punished with elimination
At this point Zummo, we dare to rightly say, she was very offended, but tried not to show it and react elegantly:
“I thought I had done a good job on the plate, if instead you come to talk about elegance, class…. So next time I'll do my homework."
Soon after it will be eliminated because of one raw eggnog, prepared in an attempt to reproduce a famous Jeremy Chan's plate, but yet another twist: it eliminates itself.
Before the judges even tell her to, she takes off her apron, criticizes himself, then heads for the door. And this is where Barbieri comes in again:
"Are you in a hurry to leave?"
And she, answering in a seraphic way:
"It seems to me the time has come."
Besides she was also eliminated Giuseppe, Aka Beri Cooper, which fell on the Pressure Test and his dish was called, in no uncertain terms, “a fish dropped in coffee.”
Is Masterchef 12 still a cooking show?
If it is true that, on the one hand, the hygiene rules dictate that in the kitchen, in addition to having washed your hands, you should go clean and with your hair gathered or hidden under a cap (and this applies to both women and men), on the other hand we found it decidedly "poor" the behavior of the Chef Bruno Barbieri.
Going to tell a competitor, and moreover in front of all of Italy, that she is dirty, disheveled, "a nightmare", and what's more, after a very demanding test like the Skill Tests, is not exactly the height of elegance, and this considering that the competitors who show up at Masterchef they are not professionals.
Silvia Zummo however it was not the only case, because, as noted by several spectators during the evening (who in fact protested a lot on the official social networks of 12 Masterchef), neither Francesco he was spared, given that he was described (again by the usual Barbieri) as a "buffoon" and was also threatened with disqualification.
12 Masterchef is it still a talent, and a cooking competition? That's what many viewers have wondered on social media and, our wish, is that the bad news episode of Thursday 26 January 2023 was a coincidence and does not become the rule.
