I still insist that there needs to be one season of MasterChef where all dishes should be tasted blind and I bet there would be an entirely different winner than with the regular format.
I agree a blind taste test and not only that instead of that wall of chefs, get 3 respected chefs outside of the show, to do the finale blind taste test.
Sounds like The Taste without the teams. I tried to watch that show, especially since I love Nigella, but loud mouthed Anthony Bourdain makes it nearly impossible
Did Courtney, the former "gentleman's club" a.k.a. stripper girl turned "Master Chef", lap dance and render services to all 3 Master Chefs for winning the competition?
I couldn't stand Courtney. There was something about her that just made me want to scream. And she won---arghhhhh! Any bets that her little brother is really her son?
Have to say the original British plain Master Chef (not "home cooks") is beautifully done. Straight-up cooking. No shouting "Hands in the air!" or stupid 3-2-1 countdowns or dramatic mood music. Just quiet, understated cooking. BBC America aired it last year and it was a breath of fresh air compared to this circus. Plus, one season (spoiler alert) two chefs won because they were both equally brilliant. This American Reality Competition thing can suck it. (but did anyone wonder why 1st season blind woman who won always had great eye control???)
Seriously?! I know someone who has known Christine Ha for years and can attest to the fact that she indeed blind! He is always talking about how amazing she is in the kitchen and how he feel inadequate around her and this guy can cook like a freaking dream. She has been trying to get him to try out for Master Chef for awhile now and he keeps saying no. I was so bummed about Leslie using salt instead of sugar as I really wanted him to beat Courtney as I really did not like her attitude at all. It was so unfair as she was kept in the competition for much the sane thing when they did the doughnut challenge. Then in the finale with Elizabeth I was really bummed that she won as I don't feel that she did the better dishes.
I loved it when there was that one show that has Rivk Bayless, the chef from French Laundry and I THINK Zacarian were in competition on the finals. It was REAL chefs and food critics were the judges. Rick Bayless kicked all the French food chefs asses due to his amazing mole that he said took him 15 years to perfect.
And BTW, if you've never tried his Frontera salsa line I highly recommend it. It's one the best premade packaged salsas in your supermarket out there.
@Audrey, I've never thought about it like that. But it makes perfect sense. Would explain the extra attention she doted on him.
I couldn't believe how many different pairs of Louboutins she'd wear every week. Some women don't get the luxury to invest in one pair their entire life. smh yeah. "Gentlemen's Club." Riiiiiiiiight.
I don't get cooking competition shows. When they say it's too salty the audience doesn't really have a basis for agreeing or not.
ReplyDeleteBig meh.
That's a good idea actually lol.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth was such a nasty b, I'm at least glad she didn't win,
Agreed
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteIs this the same Enty who rants about how all reality shows are rigged anyways?

Oops had those chefs including RICK Bayless.

I'm pretty sure that Courtney spent most of that competition on her knees.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth may have been a bitch but that bitch could cook.
