MasterChef Recap: Aprons Don’t Grow on Trees


By Dangerously | | 6:00 am | 6 Comments

Monti is last, and made a beef roll with curry and goat cheese (seriously you had me at beef roll with goat cheese). I’m not sure if this chick deserves the Hooch moniker. I want her to, but…man, I read through some of my old recaps to get back in the mood, and Hooch was CRAZY. Monti calling this a street fight isn’t enough, yet. If she gets to Hooch level crazy, she’s my only pony. That’ll be MY funny little prank. 

Teddy makes Monti promise to continue cooking…she thinks she’s gone, and then pulls a 180 and sends her on. 

Bubba and the other girl get axed. Bubba plays Dixie on his harmonica. The white people clap. The others are less amused. 

Daredevil is the last of the second group from the third group. Well, she’ll get to see the MasterChef kitchen. Wait. No, no she won’t. She’ll get to be in the kitchen. 

Ok, so the last four. The one guy who’s supposedly an opera singer, Rodney, Beautiful Rhinoceros, and someone else. Her voice hurts my ears, so I’m pretty sure she’s gone. Her eggplant wasn’t cooked through. Yeah, she’s fucked. 

So, Gordie tells the opera singer that that dish was his swan song. Everyone looks around confused except the opera guy, who reluctantly hands over his apron. Annoying voice with the undercooked eggplant is also sent home.

So it comes to Rodney and BR. There’s only room for one of them. Rodney gets sent home. 

I don’t want a ‘large farva,’ I want a damn spot in the MasterChef kitchen!!

Rodney does leave with the wisest words ever spoken on MasterChef “Well, I’m disappointed, but the decision was made by three guys who are better [at this] than me, so I’ll live with it.” What?!?

So, that was weird. Seriously, does FOX even care about this show? I mean, at all? 10 minutes of auditions that they couldn’t edit into the previous 2 episodes? There’s this hot Indian chick in a green dress that I only recognize from one of the montages, and another guy that looks like messin’ with sasquatch, and another few I’ve never even SEEN. Edgy might actually be the new Hooch, but I just don’t think I like her enough to bestow such an honor on her. 

I miss Hooch. Almost as much as I miss Whitney Miller. I think I’m gonna call one of my ponies Whitney Miller Lite. See what I did there?

Ok, so, next up…Holy fuck me, are we at an official “What’s in the fuckin’ box?!?!?!” challenge? Only time will tell!!!

    I was hoping that Luca got an apron too! I was surprised that they flew his mother in from Italy and still turned him away.
    Ramrod looks like he works for Geiko as one of their cavemen!!

    I’m pretty sure David is Delta Work out of drag. With a little less FUPA.

    I am glad Daredevil made it though – and I was most sad that Bubba didn’t! I think it’s rather unique and nice how everyone seems to step up to help her move around (I mean – she can’t hold her food dishes AND use her guide stick). I thought Bubba’s dish looked DELISH – it was one of my favorites we saw.

    I figure that the young girl that got sent home was actually towards the end, and they realized it was easier to bring her back next year than waste an apron on her. And WTH was that with Rami being normal, polite, kind and reasonable when he got kicked off? Poor editing, guys… I get you can only work with the footage you get, but Rami actually seemed like a great guy in the end, not the like arrogant jerk he was made out to be when he auditioned.

    YAY for the next episode, when we can actually learn people’s names! (AND – I miss Whitney. :( Can we have Whitney back?)

    Eh. Editing is a tiny bit off but not much. I’m thoroughly enjoying this season so far.

    I was sooo happy Mexidave made it through! He is my early favorite, I think, along with Almost Hooch and The Wife. Actually, I like a lot of them…including the super tall dude (he seems super passionate and pretty cool).

    Okay, MC, it’s time for some good villains! Oh, and I so look forward to the first “Team Challenge-y Out of the Kitchen” thing. Those are always good for some drama (and a pressure test).

    Can’t wait for the next recap!

    So, “Hooch” is a title now? Earned by the craziest one on the show? I can dig that.

    Hilarious recap, as usual. Glad to have you back.

    Hopefully TBTP get everyone in their “roles” soon. Unfortunately, for this show, we just know a “nice” person will win — outside of Whitney, that also means the most bland person they have. (It almost makes me appreciate how on Top Chef, 85% of the time, the raging assface wins — I hate them for it, but you at least get the idea it’s legitimate)

    I gotta love Hooch, only because she reminds me of my dad. He likes a “taste” while he cooks and since it winds up with me having a plate full of ribs, chicken, and potato salad, who am I to complain? He even insists I take home a doggie bag so that I can enjoy his cooking a few days later. Intervention? Nah. Who’d feed me then?

    @Jimbob: The villain is clear cut in the next episode. Not surprisingly, he’s the one Dangerously hated from the beginning. Or, rather, his friend. Either way, assholes attract assholes…and thankfully, only one is left at the end of the show.
