MasterChef Australia fans notice bizarre detail in the show after fan favourite's heartbreaking elimination
But according to one eagle-eyed viewer, the 'dessert queen' had more than her fair share of screen time before hanging up her apron.
The dedicated fan, who shared his findings on Reddit, noticed that it has been Rue who has been featured in the confessional spots 71 times over the last five weeks.
Featured throughout each show, the short segments have contestants sharing their feelings about each challenge as the action in the kitchen unfolds.
And according to one fan, Rue has been featured 71 times in the 'confessional'.

The viewer also calculated and ranked each one of the other contestants over the last five weeks including the remaining players.
Coming in behind Rue with 56 appearances in the confessional was Ben Macdonald, followed by Laura Sharrad on 50.
Audra Morrice and Callum Hann scored 48, according to the enterprising fan, while Sneznana Calic has appeared 44 times in the confessional.
Sharing their findings to Reddit with a chart showing the name of the contestant and how many times they appeared in confessionals the user's share sparked online commentary about Rue's appearance on the show.
'Rue got way more screen time, even after an episode, of all the remaining contestants,' commented one viewer on the thread.
Another joked, 'I won't be surprised if she remains in the top 10 despite not even making it through halfway through the competition. Queen!'
It comes after Rue Mupedzi says she is setting herself up for a career in the culinary world after her shock elimination from the Back to Win season on Tuesday.
Instead of hanging up her apron for good, the 29-year-old dental hygienist is planning on becoming a pastry chef.
Rue, who is known as the 'dessert queen' by fans, announced she plans to head to Europe to pursue her dream as soon as possible.
'My vision board is to go to France and gain work experience in the pastry world for six months to a year, as well as explore Europe,' she said in a new interview with Yahoo Lifestyle on Wednesday.
The WA-based kitchen star said her long-term plans included opening her own pastry shop.
Elsewhere, Rue opened up about her return to MasterChef after her headline making appearance on the show in 2023.
'I still wanted to work really hard and do well, but the most important thing to me was to have a good time,' she said.
'Coming back was like riding a bike. It felt like I never left! I integrated back into the kitchen so quickly.'
Rue suffered the heartache of a second MasterChef Australia elimination this week after a tricky pudding failed to impress the judges.
Rue, Tim, Audra and Sarah were tasked with remaking Variations of Sourdough and Strawberry with Elderflower and Balsamic dessert from O.MY restaurant's Blayne Bertoncello.
In the end, it was the dessert queen herself who was sent home over her grainy crème pâtissière.
In tears, Rue told the judges that it had been an honour cooking for them and being on the show for a second time around.
'Just being called back among such amazing chefs made me realise I'm also part of the great people,' she shared.

Rosie O'Donnell fans react to her slimmed down figure
Rosie O'Donnell is marveling at the slimmed down figure she has achieved with the help of weight loss drug Mounjaro. The former talk show host, 63, has been taking the drug since late 2022, yet remains in disbelief over how far she has come. In her latest Instagram post, Rosie revealed she is now a size 12 - and praised the drug as a 'life saver'. Rosie showed off her dramatic results as she went shopping for a new travel outfit, her slimmed down body on display in a fitted black track suit. 'ok so went shopping to but a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22 hour flight to Australia- was undecided as i cant see myself in this new smaller body- cam n robin took this photo of me in the dressing room - i am shocked im a 12 - #mounjaro is a life saver,' she gushed in the caption. Fans were equally impressed in the comments, with one merely stating 'WOW' (along with a few emojis) in response to the picture. Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in, writing: 'You look amazing!' Another wrote: 'It is a life changing med! Not only does it help you lose weight but decreases the inflammation in your body so you feel so much better. Rosie - you look great and hope you feel great too!!' One complimented her: ''I've been needing this for years but my insurance won't cover it. You look awesome-although your Beautiful soul shines through in ANY body.' Mounjaro 'is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus,' per the official website. Back in March of this year, O'Donnell talked about her 'shocking' new size after taking the medication. In a TikTok video uploaded at the time, she explained to her followers: 'I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. 'But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.' The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' the mom-of-five expressed. Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better.' Back in January 2023, Rosie revealed she had been prescribed the medication and credited it with helping her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season. While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.' She added that she had been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???' Rosie stated, 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.' She added, 'One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water.

'Now I have had champagne one night, that was a toast, and some wine one night, so it hasn't been 100% but I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Coke's a day.' Rosie now only sticks to drinking water and has reduced her sugar intake while also sharing, 'And my appetite has decreased significantly. 'It's probably the meds, and I'm trying to move more, so all of those things combined, that's what it is.' In a recent weight loss update, she continued to marvel at her results with a photo of her doing stand-up. In the caption of the picture, the star penned to her followers: 'i cant believe this is me now #mounjaro #weightloss #bodydismorphia.'

Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery reveals why he QUIT Hollywood after finding fame
Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery has revealed why he stepped out of the spotlight after finding success in Hollywood. The 30-year-old Perth-born actor recently spoke with The Australian, discussing his retreat from stardom. 'I think things have changed,' he explained. 'Traditional Hollywood stars existed because there was mystery... Social media has done away with that. That's a large part of why I dropped off the map for the last five years.' He added, 'I'm not trying to compete with anyone else, I'm living my truth — and hopefully being able to pay the rent while I'm doing it.' The star first appeared on the Netflix sci-fi hit — alongside Winona Ryder, Millie Bobby Brown, and more — as Billy Hargrove in 2017's season two. 'I've given a piece of myself to every role I've played and that's largely why I've taken time off,' Dacre noted. 'Lately, there's been a lot of personal reflection about what I want in my career. I'm trying to gain a bit more control over where and what I'm working on.' Dacre will not appear in the upcoming fifth and final season of the series, as his character was killed off in season three. Fans can next see him onscreen in the psychological thriller Went Up The Hill, which will be released on August 15. He is also readying to star in his directorial debut, The Engagement Party, which was announced in September 2024. In May, the lifelong performer said in a statement shared by Deadline, 'I could not be more honoured to be directing The Engagement Party, a film with an extremely important and timely message. 'I'm equally thrilled to have such a wonderful team of collaborators to help bring this story to life.' And the star said to The Australian: 'Not to be too sadomasochistic about it, but I really believe failure and rejection are the best form of learning. 'Joel Edgerton is a great example of an Australian actor who has become a director. 'His brother Nash, a great friend and mentor, is producing this film and he's generously offered to come over and do what he does with Joel when they work together.' Dacre — whose parents also work in the film industry — told The Daily Telegraph last year that he did not plan to appear in his directorial debut, although that has since changed. He said at the time: 'I'm not looking for this to be an engine for my acting career at all. 'I want to direct, and I'm serious about directing, so I'm taking it seriously and not trying to use it as something else.' The film is an intimate and intense drama.
