Minicap: Masterchef

Last night on MasterChef…the competition has begun. Frenemies were made, dreams were shattered, and we find out, for the first time, WHAT’S IN THE FUCKIN’ BOX!!!

I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s a giant piece of salmon, and a bunch of other stuff! As would be expected, the judges gave our minichefs a few more ingredients than they expected to them to use, and then spent the hour talking about how dumb some contestants were being, using the trap ingredients or whatever. Then they start running around intimidating the contestants. As the hour runs out, there’s frantic plating, and then our judges pick three plates to taste. There’s no elimination here, but there is a winner. I’ll save the spoilers for the recap.

Our winner gets a freebie for the next challenge, but he doesn’t know that yet. All he knows is that he gets to choose between French, Italian, or British cuisine. He choose French, and we hear a collective groan. Not a lot of people seem comfortable with French cuisine, and based on the results, they weren’t. Now, everyone is expecting only one elimination, but there are two! Holy moly, what a twist! Also, there were two winners of the round, and they’ll be team captains for…something…tomorrow. Can you wait? I can’t!
