But if we look at the bigger picture, 4 out of 5 MC winners is female, no male winner until season 4 and the last finale we had 2 female finalists. is it because of that so the two winners of MCJr are male and last season we had 2 male finalists? Because the show is gender-bias? I have a better explanation.
Since white male tend to feel more secure and confident about themself more often than white female, they tend to develop a real passion and a for cooking and a plan to make it becomes a professional a lot sooner than white female. That's why you usually see restaurants owners and the kitchen staffs be male and cookbook authors be female. On MC, we usually hear female contestants say they've been cooking since forever for their families, their husband... but never thought about making it becomes a professional until recently, more than they didn't want to put themself in a massive debt and go to culinary school. Because of that, we usually see "male chef" and "female home-cook" even though they're as good as each other at cooking and in this case, "male MCJr winner" and "female MC winner".
