It may seem strange, but we almost prefer these mystery box / elimination challenge episodes of “MasterChef” more than the ones that get the contestants out of the kitchen. We get to see a heck of a lot more creativity here, whereas watching everyone do the same thing a la a pressure test is never […]
As a television viewer and a writer, it’s pretty impossible to watch a season of “MasterChef” and not have some favorites. For us, one of the guys we personally rooted for was Jonny Blanchard. He was friendly, had a unique take on food, and really just seemed like the kind of guy you’d want to […]
It’s not often that a two-hour episode of “MasterChef” really manages to leave a big impression on us with its first hour, but this episode of the show tonight really managed to pull that off. Why? The easy answer is that it all came down to an exit that we (and no one else) likely […]
Does it feel like forever since we’ve had a new episode of “MasterChef” air on TV? It certainly does to us, thanks to this past episode serving as a repeat. Luckily, we do know for sure now that there are still some big things coming up on the show moving forward, including an appearance from […]
For those of you who love “MasterChef,” tonight is going to be somewhat disappointing. Why? The Fox cooking competition is going to be off the air thanks to the 4th of July holiday, which means that you are going to be spending more of your own time cooking rather than watching people do the same […]
What makes “MasterChef” such a smash hit? You are really looking at a number of different variables here, whether it is the cast, the creativity, how easy it is to relate to what the contestants are trying to do, or of course the judging panel. You need entertaining personalities to run the ship properly, and […]
As the “MasterChef” field starts to whittle down, the show starts to do more and more with its elimination process. The two eliminations tonight are going to have everyone talking but we’re not sure that it is for all of the right reasons when you consider the way in which they were constructed. Elimination #1 […]
This week on “MasterChef,” there were a pair of interesting events that we’re not sure we have seen on the show before. First, we had Joe Bastianich putting a complete and total finishing move on an argumentative and at-times delusional Howard, and the other surprise was seeing a pretty good cook getting sent home after […]
There were times that Kathy Prieto had a difficult time on “MasterChef” this season. She was chosen multiple times as the last person for team challenges, and she also had to participate in a rooftop cook-off against Luca last week that led to her elimination from the competition. However, Kathy chose to look more at […]
“MasterChef” has already done some pretty creative challenges this season, especially when you look at that epic journey to Las Vegas last week that caused four home cooks to fight for their lives cooking burgers and butter-poached lobster. So how do you top something like that? How about by bringing in some big-name guest stars? […]
