"I didn't want to be eliminated first": After a drama, this is the contestant who left "MasterChef"

For her, it is over. After Eliav Sasson excelled in the dish task inspired by Eyal Shani, the remaining contestants of "MasterChef: Dream Team" were divided into three groups and competed in a task that honored the judge of the original show who stopped by for a visit, Ruthie Broudo. The task was to prepare a full meal — appetizer, main course, and dessert — with each contestant responsible for one of the dishes, and in the end, it was Gal Kaspers, Bar Levi, and Nissim Zalait who won the competition.

There was a tie between the other two groups, and the decision on the identity of the third person eliminated this season was determined based on the personal score the contestants received. At the end of a particularly tense tasting test, Manal Ismail and Eden Harel stood head-to-head — and in the end, it was the latter who left the competition. Harel was responsible for a chicken liver pate dish on a seed cracker, but the pressure took its toll and the dish received the lowest score.

During her journey in the competition, Harel impressed the judges, largely thanks to the kosher fish shawarma dish she cooked in the shawarma duel. Harel did not hesitate to enter the holy of holies of Israeli street food, and it paid off when she garnered compliments from the judges.

"It was an honor that you cooked for us," said Chef Avi Bitton.

And Harel said goodbye:

"It was a charming and stunning experience, it's fun to get out of the comfort zone. They asked why I came and what I was missing, and I answered that if we stay in the comfort zone, how will we grow and develop? I came to have an experience, I enjoyed every minute. I just didn't want to be eliminated first, so I didn't get eliminated second either. Third is fine, and I accept it. Of course, I didn't want to be eliminated, but I accept it with love."
