For the first time, viewers were disappointed to find out that there were two winners for the Fox Reality Cooking show. Keri Moss, 41, and Anton Piotrowski, 30 were both declared as the winners of the said show.
Many went to their Twitter account and had written about the reality show, one of the disappointed fans writes: 'If I'd wanted to watch something for days on the end that resulted in a draw, I would've watched cricket.'
Moss and Piotrowski, whose dishes were composed of cocoa-marinated loin of venison and confit duck-leg cubes, had taken part in a grueling four week competition.
Viewers had seen both of them hard at work in designing and preparing a Michelin-standard course each for over 30 world-renowned and critically acclaimed Michelin-starred chefs - who have amassed 47 stars between them - inspectors and restaurateurs.
And they were also allowed to do anything in the kitchen of the famed Heston Blumenthal restaurant The Fat Duck.
But when the show was finished, viewers took to Twitter to complain that they just weren't satisfied with the outcome.
One user wrote: 'That MasterChef final was a cop out.... It's clear Anton just had the edge. To have a joint winner is just wrong!'
Another added: 'Two Masterchef winners? Lame. This is what happens when you don't let Monica do the judging.'
In the last task, they were told to prepare a three-course meal for judges Roux and Wallace.
Moss, a freelance caterer from Nunhead, south-east London said: 'Joint winners is just fantastic; we've had a good run together, Anton is awesome.
'Today has surpassed anything that I have ever achieved in my career, in my whole life, this is just massive.'
Piotrowski, who lives in south Devon with his wife Clare, where they run a pub, The Treby Arms, said: 'It's absolutely amazing; to share the title with someone that's so talented and so amazing is unreal. It's a good start to the rest of my life, mind-blowing.'
Roux said of the difficult decision: 'This has probably been one of the hardest, tightest finals that I have ever seen.
'It was just impossible to split them - their talents have been matched plate for plate for the past several challenges, and it was truly impossible to award one the title over the other.'
His colleague Wallace said: 'I can't ever remember a decision this tight.
'Anton is an exceptional talent and had a brilliant competition, but for me I want to eat Keri's food more than anybody I've met in a long, long time.
'I don't know what magic is running through Keri's fingertips, I don't know who poured the passion into her soul, but you can feel it, and you can taste it on dish after dish.'
Roux added: 'Keri is an exceptional chef, but you can't get away from the fact that Anton has got the knowledge; he's got the skills in abundance; he's got the passion, the drive - every dish that Anton cooks is original, it's got a twist, it's got his character there.
