MasterChef
TexasLady:
Excellent recap apskip! I had the show on but only halfway watched it so I can't say too much about the contestants chosen. It did remind me of American Idol with the way each person was given a chance to make a dish and the drama, whether or not the person passed the plating and taste test.
I also will know more in a few weeks whether this is worth watching or a waste of time. I did think my DIL should have tried out for the show. She's an excellent cook and works as a chef demonstrating how to prepare food to an audience every day. If the show does well perhaps she can try out next year. :tup:

I regret this, but I will be out of commission for about 2 weeks starting with the second episode of Master Chef and unable to either view it or write my recaps. I will catch up around ep. 4 on August 17. Anyone could take this one over if they choose.
TexasLady:
Hopefully someone can pick up the job. We'll miss you apskip.

I am mostly back from my extended outage away from posting in the Other Reality Shows superthreads. I promised that when I did return I would provide my best recommendation of worth it/not worth it on Master Chef. Texas Lady has done minor comments but other than those I am where I expected to be. I have finished episode 1(double hour), 2 single hour, 3 (single hour and 4 (double hour) an even though I have not posted about them yet I know what I will be saying and it should only take days to have them all completed.
Do I recommend Master Chef? That question has a contingent answer. If you want a fast-paced competition similar to Hell's Kitchen, this is good and all that is available to watch right now of its type (different from Top Chef and Just Desserts). I was expecting something a bit different with serious culinary instruction involved. All the cooks on Master Chef get is Gordon Ramsay on techniques for chopping onions moving at lightning speed so it is difficult to learn any new tips of the home chef anyway. I doubt that this will change in the reminaining 5 or 6 weeks this show can be expected to take.
I am truly disappointed. I am watching this only because of the analogies to Hell's Kitchen. It should have been better.
