The judges were impressed by Ava's lemon poppyseed donut holes, Ivy's strawberry and orange donuts with sprinkles, and Starla's nutmeg and coconut sugar. The three contestants were protected from today's elimination.The remaining ten proceeded to the elimination challenge. They were given a mystery box that was apparently very stinky. The box included items like monkfish, octopus, crickets, durian, and frog legs. The contestants were required to make a dish in 60 minutes using at least one ingredient from the box.Freddie's octopus nicoise salad, Molly's monkfish with homemade biscuits, Maclain's grilled octopus, and Andrew's grilled octopus and crickets failed to impress the judges and landed them in the bottom four.Maclain's overcooked and oily dish resulted in his elimination, but fans had sweet messages for him:Allie Bish@AllieIsBatman18Honestly I was waiting for them to say someone else over Maclain, but yeah he deserved to go home out of the bottom 4. #MasterChefJunior6:29 AM · Apr 8, 20221Honestly I was waiting for them to say someone else over Maclain, but yeah he deserved to go home out of the bottom 4. #MasterChefJunior♥Gods_Gift♥@Divine_Angel89Damn Maclain is going home.
