hello everyone hope you're having a fantastic day today welcome to film insight in today's
video we're going to be discussing some more contestants featured on Masterchef junior and
reveal how they're doing right now so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into
the content guys dara you regardless of the fact that she didn't win daryuu is regarded as one of
the most popular contestants on Masterchef junior appearing in the very first season of the show she
was only 12 years old when she first competed for the pilot episode she was a part of the
second group who was tasked with making pasta from scratch even though this was something many adults
would find difficult you breezed through it with ease thanks to her talent she defeated 12 other
contestants and moved on to the second stage in the third episode she was paired with sarah lane
for the team challenge and was challenged to make a beef wellington using gordon Ramsay's recipe
despite the fact that a beef wellington is really hard to prepare their dish was deemed perfect by
the judges which won them the challenge at this point all eyes were on you since many
believed that she was going to win it all in the elimination challenge in the fourth episode the
kids were asked to create a three-layer cake in just 90 minutes the judges ultimately determined
that use cake reigned supreme making her the winner yet again for the subsequent episodes
you continued on her winning streak and secured a spot in the finals after making delicious lollipop
chicken wings that impressed the judges during the finals she went head-to-head with alexander Weiss
and the two were challenged to make a three-course meal in under 90 minutes as an appetizer you made
some ahi tuna and as her main course she made fried spot prawns with scallop shrimp wontons
sided with some thai coconut curry sauce finally for dessert she served poached pears in lemon
ginger miso sauce which looked simply divine while her dishes were superb without a doubt
she sadly didn't win the season and lost to Weiss who was crowned as the first winner of Masterchef
junior but just because she didn't win it doesn't exactly mean that she's a failure since competing
on Masterchef junior yu has taken her love of cooking to the next level and has gotten the
chance to work with some of the biggest chefs in the game such as dominique ansel what's more
she attended the culinary institute of america and has since become a food content creator she mostly
posts on her youtube channel which is called dara u but it hasn't been active in over five years
regardless of the fact that she's only 16 she's already racked up a lot of cooking experience
and is doing well for herself sarah lane sarah lane is best known for yelling the line whip it
like a man in the first season of the show which is admittedly hilarious at the time she was only
9 years old and got most of her cooking experience from helping out at her grandmother's restaurant
she revealed in a 2021 interview that she already had a rough idea of what the show would entail
because she already had some experience working in a commercial kitchen even with her experience she
was still overlooked by many of the contestants since she was so short and tiny despite the fact
that lane was competing in a brutal competition she still tried to have some degree of fun like
when she was tasked with pouring bowls of whipped cream onto the judge's heads it seemed like she
was having a blast she told kailyn to aim for the face referring to gordon ramsay's face how
funny in the same third episode she was paired with daru yu for the team challenge to recreate
gordon's beef wellington as mentioned they made the best beef wellington and were declared the
winners of the challenge she also won the mystery box challenge in the fourth episode but her team's
challenge in episode five failed to impress the judges and she was sadly eliminated since leaving
masterchef junior lane has finished high school and has also strengthened her culinary skills
through some professional training while she mainly continues to help out at her grandmother's
restaurant she made a surprise appearance on the show la cookie con and sweets in 2017 sophia
hublitz you probably know sophia hublitz from her role as charlotte bird who is one of the main
characters in the hit television series ozark but before she became an actress she was a contestant
on masterchef junior in fact masterchef junior was her first big break on tv and is what ignited her
love for acting hublitz was a contestant on the first season of masterchef junior when she was
only 12 years old in the first episode she made a seafood dish that guaranteed her a spot in the top
12. even though she was quite talented and tried her very best she was booted from the competition
after her three-layer cake failed to impress the judges even though hublitz didn't progress very
far into the competition she's gone on to become one of the most popular contestants on the show
even though she's quite a talented cook she decided to stop pursuing the culinary arts
instead she's been putting most of her energy into her acting career she's had roles in movies and
shows like louie horace and pete ida red master and more recently ozark ivy angst ivy angst was
a contestant who debuted in the seventh season of the show ranking in second place while angst was
a front runner throughout the entire season she unfortunately didn't claim the masterchef junior
title and became a fan favorite in the process even though she had immunity from elimination
thanks to winning certain challenges she still put on quite a show in episode 5 she secured a win
during the teen challenge since her team produced more trifles than the opposing one in episode 10
she impressively led the blue team and was tasked with cooking meals for the female guests of the
masterchef junior restaurant for the subsequent teen challenge she and reed briggs secured a win
after making a plateau of six tapas it's safe to say that she's an impressive girl angst eventually
made it to the finals and was tasked with making a three-course meal in under an hour and a half
for her appetizer she chose to make pan-seared red snapper tropical salsa avocado crema and
tostonis which looked absolutely delicious for the entree she went with glazed hanger steak
butternut squash brussels sprouts and herb puree finally for dessert she made butterscotch pots to
creme with caramel sauce pine nut brittle and whipped cream fresh which was heavenly whilst
all of her dishes were topped here she didn't end up winning the show coming second to shae spiotta
regardless of her loss angst has been doing quite well for herself she creates food related content
and has more than 10 000 followers on instagram alone she often advocates for restaurants to
offer healthier options on their children's menu which is lovely what's more she has continued to
refine her skills as a chef and is far better than when she was on the show andrew zappley
when andrew zappley competed in the third season of masterchef junior he was just an 11
year old kid from new jersey who had a crush on matilda ramsey gordon ramsay's daughter despite
his young age he ended up coming in second place how amazing from the very first episode
zappley stood out as an experienced chef and was probably one of the best in the show's history
like how easily he stole the win when being challenged with making some papadella pasta
however in the second episode he had a close brush with elimination after his sausage dish
didn't impress the judges luckily he was saved from elimination and moved on to the next episode
Zapley would go on to win several other challenges and managed to make it to the finals there he
went up against Nathan Odom for the one hundred thousand dollar prize for the three-course meal
challenge zappley made homemade herbed ricotta cheese with roasted beets and pumpernickel bread
as an appetizer for the entree he went with a beef cheek ravioli and a sweet arborio rice risotto
unfortunately this wasn't enough to get him to first place and Odom was the one who emerged
victorious since his loss Zappley has been winning in his own way he continued on with his culinary
education and has cooked in a list of fancy restaurants across the globe well that'll be all
