If you can’t take the heat, then turn the channel. Gordon Ramsay and the tenth season of MasterChef airs on Wednesday at 8pm, which means 250k is on the line and it is officially thyme to turnip the beet.
Personally, I have no idea why I love MasterChef so much. I hate reality TV. Shows like MasterChef are typically things that I stay far, far away from. However, there is something so riveting when it comes to this show. MasterChef Junior is currently wrapping up, and there will be some huge changes to the 10th season.
Aaron Sanchez and Joe Bastianich are set to return as judges. However, each judge will have one “Judge’s Pass” that will save one home cook from leaving the competition. Wednesday’s premiere will be a battle/audition round of the top 36 home cooks chopping like it’s hot to get into the Top 20.
If you’re anything like me, I always tend to root for the local people during the competition. Last week, MasterChef revealed the participants for Season 10. Here are some of the names to keep an eye on.
Manjula Sarkar, from Somerset, New Jersey
Sam Haaz, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Episode 2, which airs on Wednesday June 5th, will finish the Battle Round of auditions to round out the Top 20.
