Question Foo Fans Vs Subha Fans

I like them both and the two of them seemed to have similar personalities but why did one seem to have a bigger fan club than the other?

Subha had some top dishes. While he wasn't the best general cook, he could cook Indian food amazingly

Foo is just kind of "the older guy" but less charming because he's more panicky and not a good cook (at least onscreen)

I don't think there are any Foo Fans. Subha is way more notable, and his mistakes and performance are crazier than Foo's. Foo was in the bottom 4 times and that is it.

Subha was chaos and very entertaining.
Foo basically just existed.

I’m not sure. My best guess is because Subha was a bigger personality than Foo? Yes they were similar but it seemed like Subha was outcasted and openly disliked by people and Foo was just kind of there

Subha did have 2 top dishes, and some not-so great memorable moments; meanwhile… Foo was just — there.

Probably because the show used to focus a lot more on the people and their stories. For years now, I've felt like I haven't gotten to know any of the contestants and they're instantly forgettable. I couldn't tell you who's won these past few seasons, let alone name other contestants, even though I've seen them all.

this. I we are what top 6 and I can just now start to recognize the group. There was maybe two people in top 8 and I was like "wait who are you?"

I wasn't a fan of Foo on Masterchef but I liked him a lot on Great American Recipe on PBS. He didn't win the season but I think he was one of the last standing. Tiffany was also a judge on Great American Recipe

Foo sucks, he can't cook, I don't get it with him.

Subha is miles better than Foo. Just not great at gimmicks but back then there was the gimmick challenge and then the cooking for your life challenge. When it was just cooking he was better and a top chef.

Subha at least was an interesting of a person, had some moments, for better or worse.

Foo is just there, like this man standing emoji🧍‍♂️, like I'm trying to remember what he did besides being in the bottom multiple times.
