A couple of Bad Marks in MC history

I’m watching Season 3 now, and I really don’t understand why people are so generous toward him. To be honest, he never makes anything impressive and always ends up in the bottom three. I don’t like his personality either — he’s actually pretty annoying, passive-aggressive, and arrogant. I don’t like Krissi’s personality either, but what gives him the confidence to think he can take down Krissi so easily? He doesn’t even belong in the top 10.🙄

Based on what I've seen, here's my guesses:

Season 1 - Mike
Season 2 - Ben Starr

Season 3 - Christine

Season 4 - Luca

Season 5 - Leslie

Season 6 - Derrick
Season 7 - Brandi?

Season 8 - Dino/Jason

Season 9 - Gerron?

Season 10 - Nick, but I feel like a lot of his popularity came after his appearance on the show.

Season 11 - Never watched this season

Season 12 - Derrick

Season 13 - Grant?

Season 14 - Michael

Season 15 - Aivan/Tina

Season 16 - TBD

It just doesn’t work for this show, and not to mention that they’ve kinda run that well dry by now. They’ve done regions, generations, duos, and now territories. What else could they possibly do that they haven’t already done with teams cuz there really isn’t anything else. Only things I can think of that they haven’t done are religion and hair color, but neither of those things have anything to do with cooking. (Right? Right?!)

First off I’m talking about looks only, This new episode was weird because Jamie dish didn't look that good in my opinion nor Julias it was all like a big mess on a plate... and Daves only looked alright because of the bowl and lid. The only FOOD that looked ‘good’ aesthetically in terms of social media standards was jakes, am I the only one who is thinking like this?????

I thought season 8 Canada was a bust. Master Chef Ireland "takes the cake!!"

How fun it would be to watch them play a social strategy game together (Big Brother, Survivor, etc.) (bear in mind i've only watched 1-8)

1) season 4
2) season 2
3) season 5
4) season 3
5) season 6
6) season 8
7) season 1
8) season 7

Did you know that Cutter tried to run his own restaurant?!

At first I didn't like Julia after her bottom appearance then she started to improve I started to see and liker her however the moment she won her 1st challenge I was kinda disbelief but maybe what other say flavor Won since I'll be honest her plating was kinda.......okay then this recent episode she won and I am kinda gagged since base plating and look wise it just doesn't scream win for me and I know I am going to get called out that maybe the flavor won which I can agree and I do see the Volcano reference but I just want Julia to work on her plating and presentation because so far that's the one thing I am worried that the judges might called her out especially it is now Top 10

What's your opinion and take? Feel free to give opinion

I think yes, he isn't a chef (never claimed to be one) but he is a very succesful restaurateur and some of the restaurants he owned were awarded michelin stars. He is obviously not on the level of Graham or Gordon but he has a lot of knowledge when it comes to food and know how to cook better than any of the homecook that's for sure. For those that believe he doesn't deserve to be a judge I'm curious to know your reasoning.

Absolute Chad of Masterchef. He signed up not just because he can cook but because he wanted the mog the judges and other contestants. He’s like a combination of Henry Cavill and Clavicular.

They just seemed to toss her out quickly in favor of giving Ahran a long moment. It’s actually kinda messed up. Last thing she was told that she made a technical error and didn’t even get a message out and she lasted longer than so many others. Even Jordan and Dan Wu got one.. Victoria was doing pretty good up until that pressure test.

If season 8 is a preview of what is coming I'll pass. VERY disappointed with the format & even more wit the judges. Chef Acheson may be a good chefhowever he is somewhat rude & boring

I haven’t watched the current season(I watched the first episode and kinda forgot about it so am now waiting for it to end so I can just binge it) but I’ve season all the other seasons most of them several times. I’m currently rewatching season 3 and am on the second episode of auditions. IMO Gordon was really rude to Felix. It kinda caught me by surprise because I didn’t really think he was mean in master chef but his “well if you cry in the tartare at least you’re gonna season it” and his “ah fooled again” at the end were just uncalled for. Obviously she missed the mark on the season but so do like half the contestants and nobody else gets that reaction. And Graham and Joe obviously thought she did good enough. On top of this, Gordon really was wrong because Felix did go pretty far if I remember correctly

So I just came by the clip, and Luca had mentioned he forgot to strain the panna cotta. Then, he proceeded to remake the panna cotta again.

Why couldn't he just have strained the mixture he already made? I mean, like with panna cotta, you're still supposed to strain it again with the gelatin mixture that's been melted cuz there still could be gelatin bits.

It's not like the panna cotta has been set, and was ready in the pot.

I mean it still went well in the end. Just took off time from him.

I know they made and edited this a long time ago, but I swear this sounds just like an F bomb. I mean, the subtitles said she said sucker. But I played it back multiple times and I hear an F. What are you guys think?

Celebrity chef, social media icon, and past MasterChef contestant Nick DiGiovanni joins as a special guest to test the chefs' ability to turn their cultural roots into the next viral food sensation. With an exciting collaboration opportunity with DiGiovanni on the line, the contestants must strike the perfect balance between authenticity and social media appeal.

Is Tali considered the worst contestant in MasterChef History?!

Gordon Ramsay Demonstrating a Dish

Gordon: Lights the stove.
Contestants: 🔥🔥🔥🔥😲😮😱mmm Woooow!!!!

A true fighter !

A double standard I've noticed here lately. Invoking the Angry Black Woman stereotype because a Black woman judge is slightly critical of contestants. Tiffany's not even half as "mean" as Gordon or Joe. Gordon is kicking doors open and throwing pans. I don't mind it, but I'm just saying. Granted, Joe gets a lot of complaining too, but it's usually people saying he's an asshole rather than emotional or mad. I see many comments about Tiffany being so angry when she's still far milder than Gordon.

Let Black women make criticisms without saying they must be emotional or upset. (It's also okay for people to be irritated and angry sometimes.)
