Billie is a natural for TV. Maybe her own cooking show one day! My favourite contestant of all time. Love Billie! Such a humble champion!

[@vipulsgourmet]

She has got the best ability to handle pressure in any situation. Ngl season 7 pressure test was even harder than this and she excelled in that too. I think this could be the reason why Heston chose her for working at Fat Duck.

[@gerardmessi7842]

She is pretty, smart and very humble too. You deserved the winning Billie!

[@rdu239]

Billie has this very pleasant demure personality, she looks so wholesome and humble, add to that she is able to handle great pressure and stress during cook offs, rarely showing panic.

[@marcgesmundo5611]

Such a humble human being! Congrats Billie!

The Real Madrid of Master Chef

[@billgorman4030]

The woman that's what you want

[@Payelcrispercas9]

Looks like dakota Johnson

[@Trigger0221]

I see it just a bit, when she smile

[@suhurting1664]

Why no one is taking about how unfair to the other contestants it was to allow her back on the show after already winning one season of masterchef australia? She has got all the advantages of "being there done that", they should NOT allow contestants that already won their masterchef back on the show. its like letting amateurs enter signing contest and ask them to sign along christina aguilera!

[@udasan]

Would you say the same if Billie (or any of the Favourite) came second and one of the Fans became the winner instead? I'm sure you wouldn't and I bet you would be happy Billie, Julie and Sashi (past winners) and other Favourites were there in the competition if an amateur won Season 14. Right?

[@samcurran8780]

Why allowing her to compete since she won before

[@esstee4299]

Ask the producers

[@samcurran8780]

@@esstee4299 maybe they don't want to take risks, also 30k and 20k for 2nd and 3rd what bs

[@abigailgeorge2005]

It was fans vs favourites... There were a lot of winners and runners up

[@sakshi6095]

winning in comfort zone is not called winning..

[@udasan]

Comfort zone? She's been in lots of elimination challenges in S14 alone!

[@nooneasknotell]

Bro didn't watch S7 service challenge w marco pierre white

[@NeatLegal]

Grow a pair… really? Have you all not done the HR training?! Disgraceful

[@TheAzmeen]

I was reading the comments section to see if anyone else also found this distasteful. I can't believe a TV anchor in 2020 said that!

[@dazta6738]

Wooooooaaah wat an intro! calm down turd 😆

[@String.]

Then she gives it all up. Sad.

[@brucealmighty6442]

The best thing of this series was Andy...when he tastes a dish he looks away in the distance wonder as if he looks for inspiration, but all I see is a guy eating spaghetti hoops out of a can!!!. Mel...well she's not even a chef and what the hell is her qualification to pass judgement on a cook.....bit of a joke to be honest!! Jock seems the best qualified of the pack to have any say whatsoever!

[@istr1102]

Andy😂😂💀

[@daisymenezes2151]

Let's appreciate the good side of Andy. I found him far better in his judgment than the previous two years. What we all feel I guess how can a contestant become a judge. Well kudos to him he has excelled in that too. If we start comparing we will always complain. Pls let him have some income too.

[@amanharis9008]

Oh please not Andy, only Jock is the great with his judging, I have had enough of listening to Andy’s new vocabulary it just makes me cringe everytime I here it

[@daisymenezes2151]

@@amanharis9008 You did not mention Mel she is the best. Andy's diction is Australian whereas Jock's is Scottish. That could be what you cringe about not the vocabulary. I will say it again it is Purfect😄

[@amanharis9008]

@@daisymenezes2151 yeah I like Mel and mostly the entire twitterverse does as well whereas when it comes to Andy it’s like they could provide him a better script and it’s always something about why his stylist hates him so much

[@eileeneileen3351]

Mel clothes over the series is the worst I have seen . Ugliest fashion just to bring attention to her . The old judges are the best . Stop watching Australia Masterchef. Billie is great . Trying to find her fish pie recipe

[@strikerbowls791]

Sarah robbed

[@istr1102]

Oh please! Billie deserved it

[@thebops4180]

Have a cry!

[@mackisbrocklesnar]

😂😂 nice one. you got more jokes?

[@tamalchakraborty5906]

Really bad finale, great season overall....Sarah Todd was a much more versatile cook....kinda feel she got robbed

[@istr1102]

Nope

[@thebops4180]

No. There was only one slight fault in Billies initial dish (panna cotta didn't fully set), the rest was excellent. Sarah had numerous faults in her second dish (served melted ice-cream and tough pastry which was an effort to cut through) and Billie was faultless (hence the 9's and 10)! Billie even said the dish had to be faultless going before the judges. Sarah had plenty of time to redo certain components but didn't bother and accepted mediocrity (that was her downfall). Billie redid 3 components, Billie wanted perfection. That was the difference and why Billie is a multiple champion!!!!!

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Nope. The second she made the pastry and said the basically guestimated it, that was such a mistake. She was never running, never pushing to the max during the whole season. And Billy ran all the way through, made it perfect. She earned it

[@shamodaya1758]

Explain versatile. A MASTERchef can handle everytg, even a pressure test, especially making pastries. All Sarah ever does is work with spice n french cuisine. How much of that can we take? There is soo much more than just spices. Billie is an all rounder, she earned it. Just bcoz one is from India, no need to be sour. Even am an indian n am sick of Sarah & her indian spices. Sarah couldnt even lead her team in one team challenge. She pressured the rest to follow her way n her french style of cooking when clealy, they were all clueless, n had no experience. What kind of a cook does that? U call her masterchef? U call someone who works with spices n french cuisine in almost 80% of her cooks, a versatile chef??? She didnt even master simple courtesy & consideration. This is not a versatile cook comp, this is MASTERchef. U need to be able to work under pressure, thus pressure test. Billie earned it. She wasnt going around travelling the world cooking. Billie is pure talent. Billie even worked at the Fat Duck, ofc she has it all. Above all, she is humble. Not hostile n always being like "thank you" & cringey & a big know it all like Sarah Todd. I dont hate her, her vibes r just off. Until she can behave herself & rid herself off soo much arrogance, then she will become Masterchef. Talent can only take u soo far, arrogance will bring u down anytime.

[@daisymenezes2151]

@@shamodaya1758On point. Every word you mentioned is so true for Sarah. Billy on the other hand was down to earth from day 1 to the end. She maintained that cool and finesse till the end a marvelous trait in her which made her achieve her goal.👸
