MasterChef is back on Fox tonight at 8p and they are making a lot of changes to the reality cooking competition this season. The first big change is Graham Elliot has lost a lot of weight since the last edition and he is smoking hot.
But that is one of the many changes we are going to see tonight. Gone is where each chef individually cooks for Gordon Ramsay, Elliot and Joe Bastianich. The top 30 have been selected and they are starting out in the MasterChef kitchen. They have only one hour to prepare their signature meal, so that they can win that much wanted apron. If the Chefs like it, then they will continue on in the competition. If not they go home. And there is a twist, at least one Chef will be eliminated during that hour that they are cooking to impress. So that means the remaining Chefs have to have their creations loved by the MasterChefs. If their meal is scrumptious to the MasterChefs, then they move on. If not they go home, or do they? There is another surprise addition to this season, and you are going to have to watch to see what it is.
By the end of the night we will have our competitors. By having them all cook together, it really gets the kitchen heated up just as soon as they meet each other. You can tell things will be boiling over this season and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
And last week I was on a conference call with
Graham Elliot and EP
Robin Ashbrook, and the two men previewed what else is coming up this yummy season.
1 – The home cooks have to cook for a very special couple and they don’t want to mess up. I mean, would you want to screw up a meal you are making for Gordon Ramsay and his wife?
2 – That isn’t the only romance they will see because they have to cook for a wedding reception at a location that really isn’t Chef friendly.
3 – As tough as that is, it ain’t got nothing when the home cooks have to prepare a meal for over 500 servicemen.
4 – It isn’t only about cooking for others, they also have to cook for their three toughest judges, the MasterChefs. They have a mystery box challenge with over 50 cans of food. Sounds bad enough for them, but it gets even worse because those cans are NOT labeled.
5 – While that ingredient is old, the home cooks will also prepare a very fresh meal. So fresh, the fish were just literally caught before they entered the kitchen.
This season sounds anything but fishy, so make sure to check it out every Monday night on Fox.
