MasterChef season 7 review

It’s always a bummer to see an elimination happen on “MasterChef.” It’s an even bigger one when there are two home cooks going home and you lose someone who had some potential in the competition. In some ways, you could claim that both D’Andre and Diana’s eliminations were expected given that they’d both been in […]

Nobody wants to go home on “MasterChef” for cooking fried chicken. After all, that’s the sort of thing that almost every person out there cooks at some point during their lives, and in the right environment, everyone’s probably confident that they can do it justice. Unfortunately, sometimes people just have nights. For Manny, tonight was […]

Lobster was the theme of Wednesday night’s new episode of “MasterChef,” and if watching the process of cooking the animals is a little uncomfortable for you, this episode was probably not your cup of tea. Now that we’ve said that, we do appreciate some of the effort that was put in here, at least when […]

We admit that for much of the first two episodes of “MasterChef” season 7, we had no real idea who anyone was. We were just starting to get to know some of the home cooks, and as a result of that, the show was infinitely better. We’ll take this Mystery Box / Elimination Challenge episodes […]

The opening episodes of “MasterChef” are typically fun to watch as a viewer, but when it comes to writing a review about them, it’s difficult. We don’t know the people, and as a result of that, it’s really all about the food. While at times the audition format of this show changes, what we like about the […]

The new season of “MasterChef” is here, and it’s … better than we expected? We gotta be honest: After sitting through most of the first episode, we actually do think the two-judge format really isn’t too bad. We do miss Graham Elliott, but the way this format worked was just fine. The reality here is that […]
