Aarón Sánchez joined MasterChef during season 8, and he has been the worst part ever since! He made the show almost unwatchable for me with his unprovoked meanness. Well, today, Fox announced that their home cook competition series will be back for season 15, and guess who is finally missing? That’s right, Sánchez!
Instead, Gordon Ramsay and Joe Bastianich will be joined by Tiffany Derry (Top Chef, Bobby’s Triple Threat, Great American Recipe).
“I’m beyond excited to join MasterChef as a judge for Season 15, which is unlike any other. For me, cooking has always been about passion, precision, and heart, and I can’t wait to bring my perspective to the table alongside Gordon and Joe,” said Derry. “The season challenges h,ome cook duos in a whole new way, and it was so fun to see them rise to the occasion. Get ready for some incredible food, tough love, and maybe even a little spice!”
That is not the only change. This season, for the first time in MasterChef history, pairs of home cooks will participate together, in hopes of becoming America’s next MasterChefs. From married and dating couples, to mothers and daughters, siblings, best friends and even divorcees – relationships are tested in some of the toughest challenges to date. Plus, to make things even more difficult, the dreaded Pressure Test makes an intimidating return.
It will be interesting to see if the duos will still be talking when the season ends because it is one thing to be friends or family at the start of the competition. But competition can bring the worst out in people.
MasterChef Dynamic Duos will debut this Summer.
