MasterChef (1 Viewer)

Question about Masterchef - are the contestants given recipes, or is everything they cook from memory/skill? Have they ever said one way or the other, or does someone know? I was kind of imagining that some of the contests where hard enough that they were allowed recipes whereas others where pure skill competitions, but really curious about this.
I think I read somewhere that they're given some basic details between being given a challenge, and the clock starting. On any reality show, they'll stop the cameras while full rules & instructions are given to the contestants by the producers, so there's no confusion about what's allowed. I think on MC this includes some very rudimentary background on the dish.
That is interesting to know. My kids always want me to try out for this show, but I tell them there is no way I could win some of the challenges. But yet when really inexperienced cooks like Monte are able to go into the pantry and come up with every ingredient needed for a challenge, I thought there had to be something going on.

It seems a home cook with a solid foundation, knows the basics cold, can go far.
 
Wow, Adrianna is a smoke show. :wub:
And then Jesse showed up. :thumbup:
Yeah Jesse is as hot as Adrianna thinks she is.
I think you might have the wrong chick. I was referring to the girl-next-door chick who grew up poor without plumbing later in the first show and her family showed up last second, not the very first chick in heels and short white skirt. (she was hot too, but like you said she thinks it :thumbdown: )

Your right I was confused. Yeah she was pretty hot. Still I think Jesse is pretty much tops this class.

:yes: :thumbup: Hopefully she stays around awhile.

She didn't fold to Ramsey so that's a good start.

You never know, all it takes is ####### up a diced onion or julien tomato and you're gone week 2, but seeing her filet that fish, I doubt that would happen. Plus she's blonde, no telling what she might do wrong. ;)

Good point. But I think she makes it past the next round.

 
Yacht steward? Just seems like that would be a high priced call girl for rich guys.
I used to work on yachts in South Florida. It really isn't. Certainly there are some plying that trade but by and large they are like stewardesses. Just there to make everything go well and handle the service. In fact often on a boat you'll find a married couple handling those duties for the owner.

 
Loved how Bastianich twice had to dab his eyes while shedding a "manly" tier and then crucified that Puerto Rican guy for being weak and crying when he mentioned his kids. God, that dude gets on my GD nerves.

I really enjoyed it when I caught an episode of "Molto Mario" from about 10-15 years ago semi-recently and Bastianich was on the "panel" and was fat as a house. Had to be 100 pounds heavier than he is now. Also, if you're going to wear a suit, buy some real shoes, will you please? Basketball sneakers with slacks and a sport coat? What are you, 14?

Yeah he kind of ticked me off last night. It was like he was trying to out Gordon Gordon's rep. As Ramsey isn't really that over the top harsh on this show maybe they were trying to get Joe to be the bad guy? It doesn't work though. I don't feel like he has the screen presence to pull it off. And yeah the sneakers are a pretty tired act at this point.

Oh, I guess I should get some shoes

Nah, you can do it, I just don't like Bastianich. You have to have a certain panache to pull that off, and he's no CYP.

Now I need to try to figure out why I spelled tear "tier" in my OP. Too much time in the Shark Pool, I guess.
 
Well the chick who thinks she's all that is officially on my hate list. But so is the loud chick with the son. She strikes me as someone who is often inappropriate, doesn't understand inside voice and is maybe a bit of a bully. Hope they both go soon. Glad Luka made it through but he needs to get into a cookbook or something, no more pasta.

And going back to my growing Joe hate. What is the deal with calling things fake? Especially with that contestant. As if he and the other two didn't take what they saw in a book or learned from another chef and use it themselves. The whole "Joe is going to be the bad guy this season" isn't working for me at all.

I'm not hating hot chick yet, so far she can cook, plus she's ok to look at. 2 :thumbup: so far for me.And Krissi, the South Philly (Italian i think) chick with attitude? Yea I know her type, grew up with them. :scared: Thats not a front, trust me shes real. I'm positive ill talk to someone that's know her or her family at some point.

Oh yeah I figured it was real. I have met her type before.

 
Man I can't stand Krissi. She's always looking to point a finger, put people down, and just has a piss poor attitude. I hope she gets the boot soon.

 
Shaved beaver?
That was a very odd/uncomfortable exchange for this show. Surprised they left it in the final cut.
My wife commented on that part when Ramsay and the bald guy made jokes about beavers. "Why do they always have to go there?"
Because they are guys and we all seem to snicker a bit when someone starts talking about beavers?
I guess.
The dude was either on a soccer pitch or a kitchen until he hit it big, I'd imagine he's a big kid for the most part.
 
Also, I want to say I dislike Joe. He's refined his schtick, but he doesn't have the credentials for these shows. He's still cashing in on his mom's skill and fame; he's a sommelier, but doesn't have much more expertise than that.

 
So they have to have a steak dinner competition to reduce the group to an eggs Benedict competition to reduce the group to a hamburger competition to reduce the SAME ####### GROUP to a lobster competition.

I usually like this show but that was dumb.

 
Man they were hard on Howard tonight. I don't think it was warranted. He always seemed to be happy to just be there, I never noticed any atitude or arrogance.

Never offend mom like that. :rolleyes:

Way over the top, felt bad for the guy.

Not surprised at all that Krissi saved herself. What a hypocrite.

That said, you HAVE to save yourself if given the chance.

 
Mom was a cunny and Joe's a little #####. All high and mighty when he was one of the guys popped for skimming tips from his servers. If food doesn't taste good, that's one thing, but she went into the tastings with preconceived notions of what Italian food doesn't have. Google returns three million returns for a maple syrup pasta sauce. It's not like the guy was putting crushed Lorna Doones on top of Chef Boyardee there.

Yeah, Joe's mom was bad.

But Krissie may be one of the worst human beings that's ever lived. Ever. I'd say moving up the list are 3. Hitler, 2. Krissie, 1. Any Patent Troll Attorney.
