MasterChef Junior season 5 review

It’s somewhat ironic that our favorite episode of MasterChef Junior in the history of the competition is one where nobody went home. The Muppets — specifically, the Swedish Chef and Miss Piggy — turned up for the elimination challenge, which was all sorts of hilarious and random. One of the biggest critiques that we’ve long had of […]

For the first time this season, MasterChef Junior delivered an installment on Thursday night that we would say truly shocked us. Through most of the season, the one constant that we’ve had was that Afnan was probably going to win the whole thing, or at least make it to the final stage of it. He’d been at […]

The first thing that we have to say in this MasterChef Junior season 5 episode 10 review is hats off to all of the young home cooks who even attempted to make a beef wellington in this episode. This is one of those dishes that Gordon Ramsay stresses on Hell’s Kitchen, and there are a ton of people […]

MasterChef Junior season 5 episode 9 was probably the episode that felt the most like the flagship competition this season. You had a Team Challenge out in the field, but then losing team had to go back to the kitchen to do the “dreaded pressure test.” This was one of the more intense episodes of the […]

In this MasterChef Junior season 5 episode 8 review, we’re here mostly to talk about the concept of bringing people back to a show after they are eliminated. After all, if we were speaking within this article purely about the course of events that we saw in this episode, it’d be rather brief. Jasmine won an advantage […]

Only a show like MasterChef Junior could choose to start one episode with a task where the winner got to throw pies in the face of one Gordon Ramsay, and then end things not too long after that with an opportunity for kids to cook food using a blowtorch. Let’s make one thing clear — we’re not […]

There were many things that MasterChef Junior season 5 episode 6 tested when it comes to some of its home cooks. What we’ve also learned right now is that since the show, they’ve also done a really good job testing some of the contestants on their patience. We knew that it’d been a long time since the […]

One of the things that is different about MasterChef Junior as opposed to the flagship show is that what you really get here more so than anything else is a slower pace. They don’t feel the need to rush anything, which is why we got an episode that brought all of the kids out in […]

Thursday night’s MasterChef Junior season 5, episode 4 proved to be a challenging night for most of the remaining home cooks. Not only did they face elimination, but they had to make a quick transition from corn dogs (and watching corn-dog stuff get dumped on the judges) to making vegan food. Vegan food is basically the complete […]

Tonight, ‘MasterChef Junior‘ season 5, episode 3 aired on Fox, and it was the first proper “competition” episode of the season. By that, we mean that there was a chance to see the remainder of the young home cooks in more of a familiar Mystery Box / Elimination Challenge structure. This is where the competition shines, […]
