MasterChef US May 26 premiere

[Dee09]

Funny, my only impression of Tyler is that he may eat too much during competitions (remember the beach wedding and they were short fillets?) and may or may not accidently grab your competition dish. With cameras everywhere, hard to believe he'd do that on purpose.
Just a mistake and judges decision was right. Sweet Jaimie, eh? "I'm just sorry you grabbed mine".

Nice to see someone else like Elizabeth shine.



Almost seemed like they banished Leslie to the back, like a timeout lol. Good.

I like that it's on Monday, helps with the Mondays blues when I have something to look forward to

Amazeballs that Ahran and Leslie did so well coooking-wise, as well as getting along!

Cutter has a big mouth.

[trishka]

I agree that Dan wasn't listening to what Cutter was saying, but I was getting really annoyed with his constant whinging about it.

I really want my grandma's spring rolls now.

[Natalka]

Oh, I def wanted spring rolls, too!

[frugal50]

i thought cutter was going to be eliminated
but i'm glad to see francis b go

[Dee09]

I was amazed and glad Ahran and Leslie cooperated didn't turn it into a big drama. And the dish was at the top too.
(whispered to Ahran) "Leslie's your *itch" Oh Chef Ramsay! You are naughty!! I'm pretty sure that's what he said.

Dan didn't seem like he was communicating much and so I think I would've been exasperated as a partner, too. He didn't understand the concept either. But Cutter didn't help himself though by throwing Dan under the bus, so I kinda enjoyed Chef Bastianich saying maybe Cutter doesn't do all that well on his own either. He does seem like he struggles a lot. I wished he was sent home and not Francis B., wanted to see if he had better in him than spring rolls.

I'm guessing we're not seeing much of Willie because he's managing to stay in the middle pack, nothing outstanding but not bombing either.

[Darth Penguin]

I felt sorry for Ahran being forced to hug Leslie..

[trishka]

Can I please please please get me some red velvet cake. I don't even care that the cream cheese frosting will cause me discomfort. It'd be worth it.

Leslie is one of the least grown up adults I've ever seen.

[Natalka]

^ I agree - and I'd take my Lactaid pills so I could have the cream cheese frosting!

Yeah, Leslie is really very sad, indeed.
Mind you, Courtney is pretty much like a high school girl as well.

Oh, Cutter - his mouth just won't stop, what an arse.

[trishka]

Haha, so someone understands! Those pills aren't cheap so if I'm using them, its going to be worth it. Red velvet cake is worth it.

I totally forgot to mention Cutter. He needs to learn when the shut up.

[Natalka]

I was very happy for Christian!

Gosh, those salmon meals all looked amazing!

Poor Elise - she really didn't seem at the right level for this competition.

So it was a very, very lucky Cutter tonight.

(noticed they had a good shot of Courtney's shoes even though it wasn't a glitter night, lol!)

[trishka]

Oh man, Christian's salmon looked absolutely delicious. Blackened fish is one of my favourite things.

I think the editors have a foot fetish or something. They're always showing Courtney's shoes. If I wanted to see shoes, I'd look at the Louboutin website.

Ugh, Courtney, stop talking. Also, stop being so smug.

How is Cutter still there?! He doesn't listen and he needs to realise that its not about him and what he'd eat. It's the judges that make the decisions, if it's not good enough for them, learn from their comments and make something they'd eat. It's not a hard concept. If he's so stubborn that he won't do that, he needs to just get out of the kitchen.

Sad to see Elise go because she had so much passion in the beginning, but I think Gordon was right, she's given up and I'm not sure she was ready to cook at that level.

[Dee09]

Way to go Christian! That salmon looked great. And good choice picking Bastianich's basket for the challenge. I was really intrigued with the breakfast lasagna. Mmmmm. Unfortunately the time challenge didn't affect Courtney, in fact she looked more impressive for it. And yeah, what's with the shoe thing? Am I bad for wanting to see her slip? Yes, I'm bad...

Ahran is kicking butt.

[trishka]

I think they need to just let Courtney fail on her own and stop targetting her. She seems to do better under those kind of pressures.

[trishka]

Wow, that was quite the shocker from Cutter. Those chocolates looked gorgeous.

So close to getting rid of Leslie, but I knew that Christine was gone because they always go with taste when it comes down to an issue of taste or presentation.
