MasterChef Australia returned to screens last week.
The season 16 premiere introduced twenty-two contestants who will compete for the coveted title and the $250,000 cash prize.
But fans have claimed certain participants are being treated unfairly by the editors.
Viewers have taken to social media to suggest some contestants are not getting enough air-time on the show after recently noticing there are two contestants named Josh.
‘If Josh goes out tonight, the editors and producers did him so dirty showing him for the first time tonight,’ one fan wrote.

‘Could Josh go from total obscurity to dish of the night in one episode??’ another fan commented.
‘Josh, sorry but I legit never saw you on my screen at all last week.’
‘I feel this Josh guy is going tonight because we haven’t seen him once this season,’ a user suggested.
‘If Josh goes home, Darrsh wouldn’t be far behind because he’s basically had no screen time either.’

In the end James Holmes was voted off the show after his squid dish failed to impress the judges.
The 38-year-old from Western Australia offered up squid with a parsley and tahini sauce and a wattleseed pita.
Unfortunately, the judges found the squid tough and undercooked with Poh Ling Yeow calling it one of the episode’s ‘least impressive dishes’.
James, who originally hails from England, took the loss well.

‘It’s been a wonderful experience. It’s been a privilege to be with these guys and to be cooking in front of your kind of watchful eyes’ he said.
‘And I’d like to thank you all for the opportunity, but also the compassion in which you kind of deliver not so good news.’
James added: ‘I’m proud of myself. It’s that weird feeling of being proud of yourself, but also quite disappointed.
