El maestro

My bet is Sarah or Nick for the finals.

I can’t believe Dorian is still there. In the final 4. She hasn’t done anything that could vow anybody in a restaurant.

I agree. Dorian is a great home cook, but she hasn’t done anything awesome during the whole season. i know is reality TV but her meltdown during the team challenge with Subha was totally out of place. They went ahead thanks to his flavors.

I watched season 4 this summer on YouTube and I found the whole situation ver humiliating for her. Specially when Kristi was supposed to be the villain that season.

I remember watching Big Brother in Spain and when some celebrity commentator criticized BB, a few days some of the contestants were saying bad things about that person. some of the contestants work for the producers, just to create some drama. I have even seen fake game shows contestants who later became actors or singers.

Why Dorian was saved? She didn’t presented anything that could be considered MC10 quality.

Maybe they just don’t want to be on TV. I know I don’t want to be on any kind of mass media.

I need my Masterchef fix Even if it is the Millennial Girl Scout cookie makers edition. it used to be easy to watch before: you had people you loved, and contestants you hated. Now everybody is so soft...

We only know what the judges or producers let us know. Sometimes they are gushing about mediocre dishes (cough, cough, Micah, Dorian) while they rip apart other cooks.

Noah or Shari may be eliminated next week. I wonder if there will be a redemption with a previously eliminated contestant. Micah and Dorian could put a turd in a plate and the judges still would find something good to rave about it.

One friend is an architect who mainly works as a interior designer in bars and restaurants and he told us that 75% of new restaurants close in a few months. Not sure if he was talking about just the Houston area or the whole country. When I was living in the Spain in the 90s some night owners told me the same story about those business, very difficult to succeed for a long time.

I am tired of watching the last minutes of most chapters with houses gutted out and full of boxes... “we just moved” yesterday. I wish we could see them once they are fully stablished as they used to do.

I don’t know personally Joe’s mother, but I have met many restaurant/bar owners and nice is not an adjective that I would use to describe the vast majority of them. It it is a very rough business with many casualties. Many restaurants close after a few months open or change ownership.

I have seen that in Chopped too.

Micah and Dorian are definitely the judges ‘ pet projects.

I am rooting for Noah. I know blue collar types are not very popular now, but he has being very consistent in his cooking, even without the support of the I think Shari is a very intriguing individual. Midwest lady who can cook traditional Indian food and several other special dishes. This year contestants seem to be more down to earth after winners like Dino (ugh) or man with a hat Shaun (ugh).

Don’t worry, It won’t happen, Micah, Bri and Dorian seem to have a pass from the judges.

In MC Canada, season 3 a contestant spent a lot of time saying that it was time that a (a person like the contestant) win MC Canada... guess what... that person won.

Suhba and Noah are the Cinderellas in this competition. No matter how well they cook, they are never good enough. Micah and Dorian seem to be the darlings of the judges. They always find some redemption in their dishes.

Micah copied chef Achantz dish and he couldn’t stop brown nosing him about how he is his culinary hero. The next day Micah plated his food like a prison tray, but the judges gave Jamie a bad time about his plating. Plating sausage is not difficult, but we know the judges are going to be picky no matter what you do.

I like Shuba. He tries to cook his best and fusion Cajun and Indian food, no easy feat. I hate team challenges, specially when some of the chefs want to be the center of attention. I hate working in teams in my daytime job too. Just tell me what you want, how do you want it and when do you want it and let me alone. I will take care of it. We don’t really know if he is really annoying or really disrupting in team challenges or that is the way they want us to see him.

All tv shows are scripted. I doubt many of them knew who was Grant Achantz before the show. Reality tv is an oxymoron. It is heavily scripted. Contestants may not have a script with lines to say, but the writers and producers influence what they say.

I just hope Micah doesn’t plate like crap as he has done in the last two episodes. Noah can’t get away with it as Micah does.

According to Jamie Shuba is going to be next MC. I wonder if we are going to watch a big comeback, kind of 80s teen Hollywood movie.

I may be wrong but I think some time ago, somebody was starting to take his apron and the judges kicked out another person. Maybe was in another MC from another country.
