Minicap: MasterChef

01.05-40-ridiculous-bastageWell, last night on MasterChef, we had another team challenge. Great, right? Those are always good for stirring up some drama. And boy, howdy, is some drama stirred up. Our contestants wander out on a SoCal beach…and then they wander up a path and see picnic tables, and suddenly they put it all together. They’re cooking a pic-a-nic for some bikers.

Since Esther and Tracy won the day before, they’re the team captains. How do the picks play out? Well, Suzy is in the lower half picked, and Max is the LAST picked. LOL!!! And they’re cooking sausage sandwiches, and holy crap I’m unable to hold back the sausage jokes, but I’ll save those for the real recap…

Esther’s idea of team captaining is to run around yelling at people to do shit, and “keep Max in the corner.” Granted, unlike Max, she’s actually helping, but she doesn’t seem to know what how to run the team. Tracy, on the other hand, seems to command a bit more respect, and her team runs like a well oiled machine. Of course, that’s how these team challenges always are. One team has their shit together, but the other team doesn’t. And then once the feeding begins, amazingly things are way closer than expected.

And so, one team loses, and they face a pressure test. They do things a little differently this time. They make the team captain single out the two “weakest links”. Get it? Seriously, wtf. That’s just brutal. Once two are singled-out, they giver the captain the chance to switch places with the two of them…which…she…doesn’t do. This is just kind of painful to watch. They really wanted to add some more hate to the show, in case the Suzy / Max combo wasn’t enough. I’m sure there’s a good reason…

    Holy crap… haven’t finished watching yet, but one of those people in the bottom 2 are batshit crazy.

    If that person isn’t eliminated, that person’s new nickname is “Hooch” (because, as we all know, Hooch is crazy!)

    Well, that comment just effectively rendered me useless for a few minutes. I actually made the mistake of reading it via iPhone in the restroom and laughed out loud, which I’m pretty sure is illegal in 38 states. I think everyone in my office thinks I’m nuts now. “Hooch is crazy…”

    Esther seems the type that would encourage the jury to give her client the death penalty. HATE.

    Just returning the favor, Dangerously, since you’ve had me laughing like a moron way too often.

    “Hooch is gonna killlll ya’”

    I really think we’re looking at the first reality show where “threw them under a bus” isn’t just a figure of speech.

    Oh, and Esther, you really need to have someone else start your car for the next few months. Because if the way Hooch was murdering that garlic was any indication, your ass is dead.

    I love it when Esther was wondering out loud if the garlic being beaten half to death by Hooch (LOL!!) had her face on it. I was saying “like, bitch, really? You wondering? You must be new in town.”
