Bowen stood on the sidelines, but his instructions weren't clear, and he started to get nervous. Instead of telling Shanika the steps to prepare the Beef Wellington, he kept yelling unhelpful instructions like asking her to move faster.MasterChef judge Aaron Sanchez yelled at Bowen and asked him to actually talk to his partner. During her confessional, Shanika shared that she was trying hard to get the Beef Wellington assembled but found herself very confused by Bowen's directions.MasterChef@MASTERCHEFonFOXOh no, not that @ChefShanika. #MasterChef61Oh no, not that @ChefShanika. 😂 #MasterChef https://t.co/4Z3gnFooEEShanika added that she was aware that Bowen was nervous and that it was time for her to step up and lead so they could get to the next step.Fans who watched the team struggle took to social media to share their opinions.Fans claim that Bowen needed to communicate with Shanika in order to win the challengeTaking to Twitter, fans urged Bowen to speak up and communicate with his partner.
