Tonight is the season finale for MasterChef on Fox at 9p and one of the final two contestants was actually eliminated from the show. 6’11” Josh Marks was actually eliminated midway through the run of the season and then he got a phone call that changed everything. Last week I was on a conference call with him and I asked him what that was like. He said, “Well, I didn’t know I was coming back to compete. I thought I was coming back to cheer. They said we were coming for some press and media stuff, so I was under the impression that I wasn’t competing anymore.”
As we know he competed with several other eliminated contestants and won his way back on to the show and into the finals. So does he feel he deserves to be up there with fan favorite Christine Ha? He said, “It just feels right, because my elimination to me I felt like it was the bad situation, but I feel like I proved myself leading up to my elimination, and even after my elimination, I deserved to be there no matter what anybody says.” You know I actually thought about what he said, and I think he is right. He was the only Chef who constantly took a risk by changing up what he was given and Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot all enjoyed what he served them. I might be Team Christina, but he definitely earned the right to be in the final two and we will have to tune in to see if an eliminated contestant could actually win the whole thing…
Tonight is already the season finale of Hotel Hell and Fox is giving it a two hour send off starting at 8p. In the first hour Gordon Ramsay goes to the River Rock Inn in the Poconos that when he uses a blacklight in his room it looks like an episode of CSI. Not only are the sheets covered with stuff you don’t want to know about it, there are also living and dead bugs all over the place. In fact a roach does a dance for him as he sits on the toilet. It is so bad, that you think this might be the hotel that does Ramsay in. Will he be able to turn Hotel Hell into a place you will want to stay at, or is this Inn that just can’t be saved? You have to tune in for an episode that will make you bring a blacklight with you whenever you go on a vacation.
Forget Animation Domination, Fox is all about Ramsay Domination because they picked up Hotel Hell for a second season. The renewal is not a surprise because the show where Ramsay helps hotels get back on track has been a hit since its debut. No word when it will be back, but if you are a hotel in desperate need of help then email hotelhell@optpinc.com
I wonder what Fox and Ramsay will come up with next to go with his other Fox shows Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef and of course Hotel Hell. What is left?
We are two weeks away from the MasterChef finale on Fox, but tonight’s Pressure Test might be too hard for 2 of the final four.
Tonight at 9p the final four contestants are split into two teams and they have to cook a three-course meal for three Michelin-starred chefs: Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy. Cooking for those world renowned Chefs might seem like a huge pressure test, but it nothing as compared to what the three residents Chef have planned for the losing team tonight. It is such a tough Pressure Test that even they deem it impossible and maybe something that the amateur chefs might not be able to do. I don’t cook and even I know the challenge would be difficult for the most experience chefs, let alone two people who have been cooking at home until this show. So watching them go for it, made it even more impressive. Will they be able to make the impossible possible? You will have to tune in to find out in an episode that will make you feel the heat of their kitchen in the coolness of your own.
Ever since Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez left American Idol, almost every musician has been rumored to be a new judge on the show. Well yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Gordon Ramsay shared video of him at an AI audition with Randy Jackson. So I have to wonder if he is the newest judge for the Fox singing competition. In just that one minute sneak preview, I think he is the perfect choice. Plus since he has four shows on the network and they dedicate two summer nights of programming to him, what is another show and another two nights in the winter?
Plus he is just so darn likable and he looks great naked (things I learned from watching Hotel Hell), that he is enough to get me back into the show. He is mean, but you know it is coming from the heart. And let’s be real is singing that much different from cooking? They are almost the same thing, right? One gets you into bed and the other keeps you there.
So let’s let Fox now we want Gordon Ramsay for American Idol!!!
UPDATE: On Ryan Seacrest’s radio’s website they were talking about how reality shows are changing things up and he might’ve accidentally revealed that Randy Jackson will indeed be back for season 12 even though Fox has yet to confirm it. The site said, “Mariah Carey will be joining Randy Jackson on the judge’s panel on the 12th season of American Idol. The big question still stands… who will be joining the duo? The premiere is not until January 2013 but the suspense is killing us!” If anyone would know who will be part of the Idol, it is the show’s host. So do you think he inadvertently announced that Randy will be back or someone make a mistake???
