Within minutes of the show’s opening, viewers were mocking his stern look and cheekily joked, “Has he been released from prison for the day?”
They took to social media wondering why previous floor manager Ben – who was praised for his looks but criticized for stressing out the contestants – was missing from the episode.
Fans of the show said that “the new timer guy” needed to “lighten up” a bit, claiming that he must have seen “really bad stuff in the trenches of Masterchef.”
