When the cooks entered the kitchen, they were greeted with a Mystery Box unlike anything they had been presented with before. Instead of being given set ingredients, each contestant was presented with a photo from their childhood. While clearly an emotional trip for everyone cooking, the photos hit a lot harder for the people of colour in the room. Namely, for Khanh and Reynold who broke down in tears while talking about their photos, which reminded them of their struggles growing up. *** MasterChef’s Reynold ‘truly sorry’ for past homophobic comments - QNews MasterChef Australia favourite Reynold Poernomo has “sincerely and deeply” apologised after homophobic comments from six years ago resurfaced. The contestant in the Network 10 cooking show said he was ashamed of the comments, posted online back in 2014, and they don’t reflect his views now. Reynold’s posts on an online bodybuilding forum, under the username ReyReyy, suggested gay people were “freaks” in response to news a Disney TV series featured gay characters. “I wish the world made a united decision where they will capture all gay people and put them on a remote island full of gays,” the then-20-year-old wrote. “That way straight ppl (people) will be happy and the freaks can go on and f*** themselves.” Reynold also commented on a separate thread titled: “Is homosexuality a mental illness?” “Yes, end of thread,” he replied. Reynold posted the homophobic rant just months before he first appeared on the Network 10 show’s seventh season in 2014. ******* YOUTUBER MYKA STAUFFER REVEALS ADOPTED SON WITH AUTISM HAS BEEN PLACED IN A NEW HOME: 'HE NEEDED MORE - Independent UK YouTuber Myka Stauffer and her husband James have announced their adopted son Huxley has been placed in a new home nearly three years after he was adopted from China. In a new YouTube video titled: “An update on our family” the couple, from Columbus, Ohio, explained that Huxley, who has autism, had a “lot more special needs that we weren't aware of”. ****
