MasterChef Junior is proving to be one of the most enjoyable shows on television; and you don’t want to miss tonight’s episode on Fox at 8p because it is the whipped cream to top off your week.
The top three contestants start it off with a whip cream challenge. Sounds easy enough, but it is not as easy to make it as you would think. Their little arms tire out as the cream remains a liquid and doesn’t solidify, even though they have been at it for a while. Finally one of the kids felt he whipped it to perfection and now it is time for the next part of the challenge. The three contestants will stand over the chefs’ heads, turn their bowls over and pray it is solid enough that none of it will land on their heads. Well I will spoil you and tell you that either Gordon Ramsey, Joe Bastianich and/or Graham Elliot will get creamed. It truly is one of the most priceless moments on television this fall.
Once a winner is determined and the chefs clean up, it is time for the next challenge where teams of two will switch off as they attempt to make the perfect Beef Wellington. The winner of the previous challenge not only gets to pick their partner, but everyone elses too. Some teams will work and some won’t, and the losing team goes home. Which is especially sad in the kids’ version because they cry when they are eliminated. But up until then they are warming out hearts.
As much as I hate the elimination part of the show, it had one of my favorite moments from the episode. One the contestants that is facing elimination says he doesn’t want to go home because then he will have to go back to school. You never hear that on the adult versions of competition shows.
So tune in to see if he is going back to school or if he is staying in the kitchen for another week.
Well that and to see why I am suddenly so in love with Joe Bastianich. He is so great with the Juniors which is quite amazing because he is so different with the adults.
