Following her immunity-winning dish, the aspiring chef was flooded with praise as her fans raved about how brilliantly she had done.

"Nat is definitely a shining star 🌟 in the making 👏🙌😍," one person raved. Her victory came in an emotional episode as the contestants had to cook something inspired by an important person in their lives.
