Who is Pablo Lescano’s replacement on MasterChef Celebrity

Uncertainty had taken over the reality show this Monday as the replacement was revealed: it was Walas, the singer of Massacre. The artist’s entry generated a mix of curiosity and enthusiasm among the contestants.

With his characteristic look, a stuffed jacket and long red hair, the leader of Massacre burst into the kitchen with a phrase that marked his debut: “The cumbia left and the rock came in. I am from alternative rock, from pop and I come to give you counterculture”. “It’s a shame that Pablito left us yesterday. I have great respect for him. But now I’m going to give them rock, which is also part of our culture,” he added, in a friendly tone, making it clear that his presence would bring a different air to the studio.

The musician acknowledged that he comes to the cooking competition as an apprentice: “One of the things I want is to cook well, and I don’t get it. I’m quite an amateur, I cook something for friends, at parties and I make barbecues. But I don’t know too much,” he confessed to Donato de Santis, Damián Betular and German Martiteguiwho received him with cordiality and humor. Immediately, the singer showed that his style is not limited to the stage. With his deep voice and a speech full of irony, he joked about his debut in television cooking: “The jury scares me, I have a lot of reverence for them. Martitegui seems so icy to me, so distant”, said.

“I want to learn from you, teachers.”he told the jurors before taking his station and beginning his first preparation in front of the cameras.

In his first presentation, the musician performed a quiche lorrainetypical dish of French cuisine. Its preparation consisted of a salty dough filled with raw ham, cheese, egg, milk and pineapple slices to give it a sweet and sour touch. Betular was the first to give him the feedback: “The dough is perfectly executed,” he began. “It didn’t go down on the edges, it’s not raw, and the truth is that it is very good, very tasty, very rich. For me, the filling was a little overcooked, perhaps with more quantity, everything would have been perfect, but very good job.”

Finally, when announcing who had been the best cooks of the night – and who, therefore, were safe from Thursday’s gala -, the singer was the first to go up to the balconyaccompanied by Susana Roccasalvo, Evangelina Anderson and the influencer Ian Lucas.
