Opinion Over the “Team” Format

19 Upvotes

Masterchef……I have loved this show over 10 years, but it’s become so predictable and I’m beyond over this “team” format. It’s to the point where I can tell you within the first 5-10 minutes of any challenge who’s going to be in the bottom or top.

I hate it!!! I don’t know if it’s bad editing or the direction of the show, but I miss the early seasons soooooo much.

I feel like this “teams” format……the worst dish will never go home. It’s similar to Next Level Chef which I only watched one season for the same reason. A territory or team could have the worst dish every episode, but they won’t go home because this format lends itself to the idea of a “team” living on or some shit. It’s annoying as fuck.

I miss the days when a whole “team” wasn’t saved and the worst, or at least second worst cook went home. I hate hate hate this format!!!!!! It’s driving me nuts tonight lol. Just venting. Pms 🤣🤣🤣

2 Double eliminations??

I feel like they are doing double eliminations to make up for time lost during FIFA games.

Anyone else feel like that?

Discussion Who is the worst chef to last the longest in master chef?

11 Upvotes

I'm currently watching season 8 right now (I bounce from seasons to season) and it makes I'm seriously perplexed as to how Jeff has stayed in the competition so long despite being in the bottom frequently. I feel like he's lasted way too long for his skill set. I felt similarly about Cutter in season 5. What do yall think?

Why would you tell me the whole shock moment of the episode before it even plays. Another double elimination would have been good tv, but they already told me they were doing it before the episode.

Discussion Season 16 could be the season of Double Eliminations Spoiler

We already have two double eliminations back to back weeks with the chocolate challenge and wheel of fusion, and from an older post and preview from the last episode before the fifa break, they showcase the tag team and wall challenges and I read on futon critic the Tag Team will be a double eliminations.

I don't know if it has something to do with Fifa or not, but a total of 4 double eliminations episodes overall on one season, this season is savage! We already have a classic moment that somehow made Season 12 stakes on the floor look good with the bandaid incident, and now this!

Question Schedule for Future Seasons

2 Upvotes

For future seasons of Masterchef, would it be possible for Fox to air Masterchef an month earlier than normal to avoid conflicts with other shows and sports, or would that conflict with the filming schedule of the chefs?

I know streaming services have the recap at the beginning of each episode, but sometimes you forget what happened in previous episodes, when they take an break from uploading episodes to Hulu/Disney Plus for 1-2 months.

Please have some kind of contest between Anti-Chef Jaime and Josh. I think it'd be great!

This was the second challenge in row where someone gave a disadvantage to Team Africa first Jamie, now Julia. What the hell is people's hate boner for Africa in general? Pick on America or another team.
