Sashi confirmed on The Project that they didn't filmed 2 endings this year. As the points difference are so great, no way Ben can win. Thus those who were at the finale knew who won but they did do a good job in containing the leak! That's interesting! There were all the past winners, families, chefs there, so they all did a good job to keep the winner a secret for 2 months...

That's very interesting with the Godmother story! However I can't remember anyone with tagline "Empty Nester" walking out with no explanation? There were some quitters in earlier seasons but they all have explanation for quitting.
I googled and the only result with "empty nester" association with Masterchef was Noelene from Season 5, but her tagline on the show was "Optical Dispenser" and she was definitely eliminated at Top 9, not walking out. Now I am very curious, LOL.

There is one from Season 2: Jackie (http://www.realityravings.com/2010/04/18/masterchef-australia-top-fifty-names-released-and-other-changes-revealed/), however seems like she didn't make it past top 50

Haha, I even checked Masterchef NZ but nothing fit with the story. The story about living in a house, the only other reality show with contestants living together was Big Brother, so I wonder if it was actually Big Brother, and the story teller was confused?
Or someone from rival cooking shows spreading ugly rumours, LOL

I thought in Masterchef the Top 24 do all stayed in one house.
Earlier seasons were even worse, no mobile phones, no TV and no contact with outside world.

Yes, once they reached Top 24, they all moved into the MasterChef House. I thought it is still the same now, no mobiles, no TV (except approved recorded programs), and no contacts with outside. The only one that seems to have remote possibility with that Godmother story is season 2, as all the other quitters in the early seasons were all males... But as awesomeporcupine said, the empty nester Jackie did not make Top 24, and from wiki, there's a female who quit very early on in Top 24. But that still did not gel with the Godmother story, as Sarah who quit (first week of Top 24) was also not the empty nester. Also remembering that MasterChef was originally created in 2009 to take over the axed Big Brother (axed in 2008) timeslots, so my reasoning was that person who told the Godmother story got the 2 shows confused? I did not watch any of the later seasons of Big Brother, so would have no clues what happened in those later seasons.

I thought it is still the same now, no mobiles, no TV (except approved recorded programs), and no contacts with outside. I think they were much stricter during the earlier seasons, not allowing contestants to see their family almost at all, while I think now they are allowed to go home to visit family during the production breaks I remember there was a large outcry when some guy (had to look him on wikipedia, Mat) was disqualified during season 3 for using a smartphone to look up a recipe The comment on reddit is interesting as SeaDragon points out, as there was a season (2) with empty nester and female quitter, but they were not the same person. They had a whole week of top 50 episodes in those days (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MasterChef_Australia_(series_2)), so presumably the top 50 shared hotel rooms with each other for 2 (maybe 3) weeks before Christmas while filming the top 50 part
