He guessed that soup Luca made a while back was so thick because of the long wait. But the judges are supposed to ignore things like that.

Wow, I'd be so pissed off if I were a contestant.

 

[RS4-]

Lol if it was Luca or Jessie with Graham's dish, and didn't use the blast freezer, Graham would've said something for sure.

But since it was James, his time was up.

Wow, I'd be so pissed off if I were a contestant.

From Michael Chen's blog:

James is up last, and here I have a problem. What usually happens is this. After the completion of a challenge, the contestants usually leave set for a lunch break. Beauty shots are taken, and any dishes that need to be chilled or frozen are usually put back in the freezer/fridge (i.e., Christine’s coconut lime sorbet in the finale). I’m ASSUMING that’s what happened with James’s dish. However, since his dish was tasted last, then it still must have been sitting out for 10-15 minutes under the hot spotlights on set. Even a properly set panna cotta would have started to loosen up and melt by then. You can see James stand by his dish and start to protest when Graham criticizes the texture, but ultimately he is wise to save his breath, and probably knows in his head what the end result is going to be anyways. Hearing the judges complain about how the panna cotta tastes and is garnished perfectly but isn’t set properly makes my blood pressure spike. James is a talented cook, and there is no question in my mind that when James took the panna cotta out of the fridge and proclaimed his satisfaction that he knew it was set. The judges are supposed to take into consideration how long food has been sitting out when they taste it (i.e. not criticize bread for being stale if it’s been sitting out for 4 hours waiting to be tasted), but that clearly wasn’t the case with James’s panna cotta, and he is helpless to say or do anything to stop it. The look of resignation on his face tells him that he knows exactly what I already know, that the producers are ready to send him home, and there’s nothing he can do about it.

I really hate the "junior" edition of Masterchef, I just always skip them. It's just so cringeworthy and the judges can't really tear into them like they can on the regular show.

I would have much preferred Masterchef the Professionals or All Stars.

Every season they let an annoying white trash single mother who acts like a bitch, fights with the other contestants, and doesn't know how to cook and is "doing this for her little son" get to around the final 4 or 5, ahead of many more talented chefs. It's like fucking clockwork, there was the blonde two seasons ago, the woman with glasses last season, and now Crissy. Obviously it's because a large segment of their audience identifies with that type of person...

Natasha cheated. If you watch closely the metal ring she used to plate her salad was no removed when the time ran out at the end of the elimination challenge. Then it disappeared when the dish was served.

If only you knew how much of reality television is staged.....

Not a single black person, good job Paula Deen.

[Dereck]

It's so hard for me to enjoy shows like these after I read "staged, staged, staged", I feel like a naive sheep whenever I get excited about something or get attached to a character.

 

[Plinko]

I didn't know Jesse was a model and a runner-up to Miss Georgia.

I heard that MasterChef invited her to audition.

She's also the daughter of an ex-NHL player.

 

[this_guy]

We're getting another 2 hours of new episodes tonight.

 

[DominoKid]

im surprised Luca didn't pick Jessie

 

[benjipwns]

I thought she was literally going to smash her face with a hot pan. Can't keep her promises!

 

[Zombie James]

That's what she freaked out about? That? What a lunatic.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

lol Krissi is way too violent

Krissi comes back...so redemption story. Great.

Would have really liked to see her go home.

 

[DominoKid]

Krissi should go home just because she isn't a team player.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

I really thought the red team will win just to screw with us

Thank god. I like both Luca and Natasha

 

[redmetal86]

Lol Luca. And now we fight to the death. I swear if Krissi makes it....

 

[benjipwns]

what? she she she she she what?

 

[Victory Red]

Jessi couldn't make a crepe either!!

Please be meat and potatoes pressure test. Or baked Mac and cheese.

 

[benjipwns]

#IDLETHREATS

omg

 

[DominoKid]

mmmmm chocolate.

 

[zero_suit]

Jessie going in on Krissi.

 

[Zombie James]

Too much focus on Krissi doing things wrong... fuck, she's going to win

 

[Victory Red]

Too much focus on Krissi doing things wrong... fuck, she's going to win

Exactly how I think when I watch these competition shows.

 

[redmetal86]

Wow, not a word. Just a glance and a turn.

 

[benjipwns]

What are the odds of a tie...

 

[redmetal86]

Lex is going to vote for evil. It's over.

 

[Victory Red]

A lot of time left in this episode. Tie breaker?

 

[DominoKid]

go the hell away Krissi.

 

[zero_suit]

Krissi is finally gone!

 

[cartoon_soldier]

YESS

GO OUT BULLY

 

[redmetal86]

Oh my god! So glad I was wrong on that one!

 

[Zombie James]

 

[cartoon_soldier]

See nobody offered Krissi a job

lol

 

[Cousteau]

Have to say though, she ended up cookin her ass off.

 

[redmetal86]

Today's challenge: cook the money.

 

[benjipwns]

lol at the trophy being the "best prize" and ensuring the sky's the limit

 

[Liferebooted]

Thank god, time for some vodka.

 

[redmetal86]

Thank god, time for some vodka.

Taking shots for every Walmart ad?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

lol Luca

"And I am Italian"

 

[Liferebooted]

Taking shots for every Walmart ad?

I'd probably die irl. ;P

 

[DarthWoo]

I only noticed tonight how part of the music they use for this show sounds a lot like the Battlefield theme.

 

[Cousteau]

lol...Jessie is toast.
Dumbass.

 

[redmetal86]

You....you forgot the butter.....why.

 

[DarthWoo]

lol...Jessie is toast.
Dumbass.

Unless Luca has gotten a lot more pragmatic than the last time someone mooched him for an ingredient, he'll probably give it to her if he has it even if Natasha won't.

 

[DominoKid]

natasha will probably lose now because karma.

 

[redmetal86]

Ha! Nice guy Luca.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

And that's why we like Luca

 

[zero_suit]

Luca is the man.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Luca needs to win this entire thing!!

 

[Kifimbo]

Jessie's dish had plenty of time to get cold. While Natasha's dish was already a cold one. Why they tasted the latter first is stupid...unless they want Jessie gone.

They do.
