I decided that I was going to document/keep track of shows I'm watching..beginning from the very first episodes. Although it'll be neat to look back at my reviews/thoughts/opinions..it'll also help me keep track of what I've seen..or where I am at!
Masterchef is a show that I've watched before..actually..just this last season was the first time I had watched the show. I LOVED it. I am not a good cook..but I do enjoy watching others..and I am a huge fan of Ramsey!
So...with that said...let's begin and talk about a few of the contestants that stood out for one reason or another! :)
Chris: Beer Cheese soup. I am not a beer drinker..so the thought of beer in my food is not something that appeals to me. Gordon's comment was that it had to be the most disgusting soup he's tasted his whole life. I think I will listen to his opinion and....never try it! Ha. :)
Mike the server: Duck Ssam. He's a fast little bugger. Moves and talks with such speed...Tires me out just watchin' the guy. Haha. I have never had duck..so I'm not sure what it tastes like (or what it is supposed to taste like). What I did like..was that he acted more like he wanted to be there than some of the others. He was visibly nervous and trying hard..which is how ALL contestants should have been. Gordon said that he moved and cooked like a chef. Graham said it was sex in his mouth! haha. I'm interested to see how far this guy goes.
Tracy the Atlanta Doctor: Smothered Chicken with grilled brussel sprouts. Well..she's a doctor..so she should be able to cook, right? Her story pulled the heart strings...but I got the impression that her food was just..a regular home cooked meal with her momma's recipe that really didn't stand out as much as some others..but they saw something in her and hopefully she proves to them that she has what it takes.
David M. the software engineer from Boston: New England style Bouillabaisse . This guy has a big personality...and an attitude that I just can't decide whether I like or not. There's a fine line between being confident and down right cocky...First impression...I think he seems a bit cocky. As for the food..I have never heard of what he made..but his attitude was enough for me to say no. He's not one that I will be rooting for, unfortunately.
Avis from LA: Catfish: She sure loves her southern comfort foods...but are they enough? Do they stand out? I love her personality! Unfortunately..again..I can't give my thoughts on the type of food she cooked because I don't like seafood of any kind. lol. Her presentation was addressed as a concern and I can see why. Her plating looked like she was at home loading her plate up with a big family meal.
Farmer Randy: Loaded baked potato: Heh..well...The sad reality (in my opinion, of course) is that not only could I have easily made his dish (and I am NO cook..)...but I could probably have done it way better. That's NOT a good thing. The farmer said his dish.. "is what it is"..and he's right. It's a dud..*waves goodbye to Farmer Randy."
Of course the above contestants are only a couple out of a large amount...but I think it will be interesting to see how this season pans out..and I'm sure I'll provide random opinions throughout each episode. :)
