MasterChef Interview

Diamond Alexander was the second home cook eliminated on “MasterChef” earlier this week, and she left during what seemed to be one of the harder elimination challenges we’ve seen: Bibimbap, a traditional Korean rice dish. It’s not something we’re altogether familiar with, so we probably would have passed out at the thought of having to take […]

Andrea Galan was clearly one of the stronger contestants on this season of “MasterChef,” which makes it all of the sadder that she is gone in one of the more shocking and controversial departures in show history. We understand the importance of show rules (they have to mean something; otherwise, why have them?), but you […]

This past episode of “MasterChef” was a sad one if you were an Alejandro Toro fan. The voice-over artist, despite having some success earlier in the competition, was eliminated after his cake-related Pressure Test went array. We’d say that it was the most surprising elimination of the season so far, at least in terms of […]

On this past episode of “MasterChef,” we had something that certainly no one wants to see in a double-elimination. It means two less people competing in the season, and two people you’re not going to get to know further (which is a bummer, since the show tends to get some pretty electric personalities). Diana Bilow […]

It was truly sad to see D’Andre Balaoing be sent out the door on Wednesday night’s new “MasterChef” episode. He was the sort of contestant who brought a ton of personality to the table, and the more you saw him, the more you wanted to root for him. Therefore, it was especially cruel to then see him […]

Manny Washington is the sort of contestant you want around on “MasterChef” for a long time. He’s got a huge personality, he’s funny, he cares about his food, and he’s a good narrator to the audience at home. It’s easy to imagine why he was cast. Unfortunately, it was a particularly sad ending for Manny […]

Lisa-Ann Marchesi’s exit on “MasterChef” earlier this week was a sad one. As a viewer of the show, you want to see home cooks who know their stuff, and also know how to deliver entertainment. She brought both attributes to the table, but despite effectively standing up for herself to Gordon Ramsay, she still got the boot. […]

Wednesday night marks another new episode of “MasterChef” airing on Fox, and based on what we’ve learned from judge Christina Tosi, there could be some surprises both in store in this one and over the rest of the season. The home cooks may surprise you, and there are some challenges that will find some unique ways […]

This week’s “MasterChef” episode brought pie, Mexican cuisine, and the return of reigning champion Claudia Sandoval. Unfortunately, it also didn’t take any time off from eliminations, as Brittany Craig received some rather terrible news: According to the judges, her strawberry – rhubarb pie didn’t taste as great as it looked. Brittany was sent home Wednesday […]
