'I stopped watching': MasterChef Australia fans left furious as major detail on promotional poster appears to reveal winner of 2025 Back To Win season ahead of finale
Back to Win features judges Andy Allen, Sofia Levin, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Poh Ling Yeow and 24 contestants from previous seasons returning for a shot at winning the Masterchef Australia title.
The winner is due to be crowned later this month, but fuming fans have spotted a promotional poster that could reveal who the victor already is.
The material features contestant Laura Sharrad, the only person pictured on the poster who is still competing in the competition.
The others shown have already been eliminated, while the remaining top nine are nowhere to be seen on the material.
Fans recently took to Facebook to claim that this means Laura will be announced as the winner imminently, but not everyone is happy about it.
"It's Laura. She's the only one that's not yet eliminated," one fan wrote.
"If you believe that the poster tells you the winner, Laura is the only one left from the promo poster," another wrote.
"So I guess the winner has been announced."
One more fan said they hoped it wasn't Laura who won, and they would love to see Callum claim victory instead, drawing battle lines among fans.
Another person chimed in, claiming Laura was decided the winner "weeks ago," as all the promos are about her and she gets the most airtime.
"I stopped watching because I'm sick of watching Laura cook and getting the most air time," another person wrote.
One more person pointed out that when Network 10 started the program, Laura was holding up a trophy, another sign that she could be victorious.
However, others have claimed the poster does not predict the winner at all, with one person betting Laura will be booted right at the end.
"I think Laura will be eliminated when it comes down to the last three or four, only because the pressure becomes too much for her," they wrote.
"I predict one of the boys will win, either Callum, Declan or Ben, maybe."
Another person said "there are more deserving winners than her," with a fan adding "it would be great for a man to win it for a change."
The last man to win the cooking competition was Brent Draper in Season 15 before Justin Narayan claimed the title two years earlier in Season 13.
The winner of this season will not only redeem the glory they missed out on in their past season but also nab a $250,000 cash prize and the coveted MasterChef trophy.
The grand Finale of MasterChef Australia: Back to Win 2025 will air on Sunday, July 16th at 7:30 PM.

Darrell Thomas: Dead man's savings thrown from a helicopter, raining cash at his own funeral in Detroit
A man well known for his community spirit had his own life savings thrown out of a helicopter, raining down on his favourite neighbourhood. Darrell 'Plant' Thomas, 58, died from Alzheimer's on June 15 and had a traditional funeral on June 27 in East Detroit. But the beloved car wash owner had a surprise in mind, and after the ceremony a helicopter flew over Mr Thomas' business, Airport Express Lube & Service, and showered locals with cash and rose petals. His sons had crafted the surprise according to their father's dying wish to give back to his local community one final time. In a Facebook post, Crystal Perry, Mr Thomas' niece, said her uncle dropped more than $7500. She said this act was a 'final expression of love from him to the community'. 'He was a giver. Yesterday was simply a farewell tribute to an east-side legend.' Footage shows the helicopter making it rain cash over the streets, capturing the screams of delight from passers by. Lisa Knife, an employee of Mr Thomas' business, told Detroit News that all six lanes of traffic along Gratiot Avenue came to a standstill. 'There was no fighting, none of that,' Ms Knife said. 'It was really beautiful.' She said she admired the reverence of the people who took part in the cash grab, and said everyone got a little bit. Videos and photos of the surprise took off on social media, with friends and family remembering the generous spirit of Mr Thomas. 'Long live Plant, an east-side legend, your last ride was everything, you will be truly missed,' one Facebook user wrote. 'His funeral was a celebration of his life. It included a block party, and a helicopter that dumped thousands of dollars onto the streets below. His final wish was to bless others. Rest In Peace,' one Instagram user wrote.
