The major editing change on MasterChef this season: Courtney Roulston reveals the one moment that proves how much the show has evolved since the original judges left
Her MasterChef journey came to end on Tuesday, when she was booted off the hit cooking show.
And now Courtney Roulston has reflected on her experience, saying how much things have changed since her first stint on the series back in 2010.
Courtney told The Huffington Post this week that producers are now being more liberal with their editing, which she thinks is a good thing.

When she was eliminated this week, Courtney was heard saying to judge and good pal Andy Allen: ‘[You’re] supposed to be my friend!’
But Courtney said while she didn’t think the comment would go to air, she’s glad fans now get a sense of the ‘realness of the show.’
‘Ten years ago they used to cut all this stuff out of it, so it’s good that people are getting to see the realness of the show,’ she told the publication.

Courtney was booted from the show on Tuesday, the second contestant to be sent home from the latest Back to Win series. The elimination came after the yellow team was put through a two-round pressure test.

She also came in fifth place on the second series of MasterChef back in 2010.
Courtney told Hit Mid North Coast’s Krysti & Bodge on Wednesday about why she was sent home so early this season, saying that the challenges this time around are almost too hard for contestants.
She said the recipes were too complicated and included ingredients that were so obscure even experienced chefs would be left scratching their heads.

‘I didn’t know what a boab was. I still don’t know what it is. Kohlrabi cones?’ Courtney said.
Courtney explained that some of the methods were completely foreign to her, which heightened her stress levels during the cook-off.
‘I’d never put burrata through a siphon gun before… that’s why I took so long reading the recipe,’ she said.
‘I thought they gave me the Taiwanese version and I couldn’t actually understand it.’
