We are pretty sure that we’ve said this already in a few “MasterChef” preview articles, but it bears repeating: We’re a big fan of Stephen’s when it comes to pure entertainment. He swears, argues, can be extremely cranky, but also seems to be a pretty solid cook. He has managed to work his way into […]
We feel like the potential for tremendous entertainment is very high going into next week’s new “MasterChef” episode, and there are a pretty wide range of reasons for that. Let’s begin first and foremost with the knowledge that Stephen is going to be one of the Team Captains for the upcoming challenge, which will be […]
MasterChef, MasterChef season 6 review
Sometimes there’s not a whole lot say when it comes to “MasterChef” episodes, mostly because it feels sometimes like there is a paint-by-numbers kit that the producers just plug in with different people every season. We have similar archetypes, similar challenges, and similar feedback even from the judges. Take, for example, a Mystery Box involving […]
We should start this “MasterChef” article with a quick warning here that the contents below are not for the faint of heart, mostly because not everyone wants to see a video or a challenge regarding cooking live crabs. There’s just something about the whole process that is easy to find uncomfortable. Sure, many of us […]
Tonight’s episode of “MasterChef” brought us everything from amusement parks to cinnamon rolls, and in the end, it was actually amusement park guide and perpetual optimist Darah who left the show as a result of everything that went awry.

While we’ve seen a few different stages of craziness on “MasterChef” season 6 so far, in some ways the season does not begin to get truly intense until we arrive at the first Team Challenge. This is when home cooks have the extreme task of trying to cook a ton of food at a high standard for […]
Let’s face it: At this point, we are still in the process of feeling out the contestants on Fox’s “MasterChef.” It is early in the season, and there are a few who are clearly getting more in the way of airtime than others. While the characters may be somewhat different, the format is still the […]
MasterChef, MasterChef season 6 review
Tonight gave us our first real proper episode of “MasterChef” season 6, but let’s not pretend that it was anything different from some other episodes over the years. This was a fairly predictable hour of TV, and one that contained the standard Mystery Box and Elimination Challenge. Of the two, the Mystery Box was so […]
We have to admit that we were not altogether fired up about the premiere of “MasterChef” this past week, and there is really one simple reason for that: What did the show really accomplish here other than setting the stage for the real meat of the season? We really prefer the show when it just […]
