I don't know if Oona only survived by producer intervention or not, but whatever. That is the most telegenic child in the world and this season would be nothing without her.

He's definitely had chefs quit before, but I think that's the first time someone said "I don't think winning this will make me a better chef."

And the sad thing is, he's probably right.

I agree with Jennifer's take on it - Aaron knew he was hosed, so he tried to make it look like he didn't care. The whole "You can't fire me, I quit! :smug:" song-and-dance.

Nice try, asshole

Or maybe he just realized something the rest of the world already knows: the show is utter bullshit, won't do anything to further your career, and doesn't teach you poo poo about anything. I thought it was sad that everyone (especially Ramsay) was like "gawd, what a loving quitter!" about it... and apparently the public bought it.

If he auditioned for the show and made it on as a contestant without realizing that then he's a moron. These reality shows(Hells Kitchen, Top Chef, Chopped) are about getting your name and face out there. The idea is you cross your fingers and hope you aren't portrayed as an rear end in a top hat so that when its over you will have more opportunities than you did before. Only a total idiot would go on Hells Kitchen expecting it to be a cooking school.

He basically said "Oh, you know what, I didn't realize I was on a television show, that's not what I wanted out of this experience." But he auditioned for a loving television show, so he should have been aware of that fact before now.

The likely truth is that most of the people on the show really do think that, and they're typically the ones who go home, leaving a handful of somewhat competent, somewhat well-balanced chefs to fight for the win.

Still, if you've outlasted half the other chefs, you might as well see it through to the end. We're still talking about a fairly respectable job, a quarter of a million dollars, and probably at least getting to know how to get in touch with Ramsay.

Am I the only one that has a problem with Bryant's meltdown? I mean, there is a difference between someone getting angry and standing up for themselves and someone having a complete psych break. Especially when he started pointing out Fernando's "faults".

I know Gordon said he doesn't care about how his chef acts out of the kitchen but if that isn't a peek into crazy, I don't know what is.

Yeah, I feel like if Gordon knew the extent, Bryant would instantly be gone. You can't be a head chef if you're psychotic and turn everyone against you. Probably they want to keep him on for more drama, but I do think that put him out of the serious running to win.

e: also, what was Gordon's line about "nobody's ever quit before"? What?

Probably old rear end news that was brought up in 2012, but I'm currently injecting sweet Masterchef goodness directly into my eye and it's incredible. Especially season 3's very subtle product placement:

Eat your heart out, Shark Tank.

It's extremely jarring, but not much more jarring than the editing mistakes that'd allow the audience to properly guess at an outcome.

I'm pretty sure that was his own briefcase. He seems like that kind of kid. Y'know, the kind that act prematurely middle-aged? That's Samuel, and that's his briefcase.

I watched the show with three or four people last night and everybody agreed that Oona has to be a plant. She has a one-liner for every situation and never seems to be caught on camera without some sort of "look at me, I'm a precocious little girl" face. Maybe she's not an actor but she's just had some kind of show business experience before, who knows.

Anthony Bourdain must have high-res pictures and accompanying video of the Chief of ABC Primetime Programming getting hosed by a horse like Mr. Hands because The Taste is back on Thursday for a third season go around.

Hopefully they subtitle everything Ludo says because I can never make heads or tails of what he says ever.

It was. Though I don't blame bowtie for it and kinda think leveraging the sissy label at him is a bit cruel, even as I also dislike him, and for petty reasons. :v:

Still, bizarre decision unless they really are just setting Sam up for the win. I really hope he doesn't; again, I feel bad hating on a kid but he just rubs me the wrong way in so many ways. If he were less of a 54-year-old broker in a 13-year-old's body I'd probably be able to deal.

edit: This is a good article about Junior MasterChef US (S2). I feel real weird saying that while linking a buzzfeed original, but hey.

I'm just bitter than Oona and Sean went home. They were at least functional and useful compared to Bucktoothed Bowtie. I get this weird sense of a Sam vs. Abby finale with Samuel winning because reasons.

Really sad that Oona and Sean were turfed. I think the pressure was getting to Oona and her work seemed to be slipping in the past couple of weeks though. Right now I'm rooting for Abby because I also have an irrational hatred for a child (Sam).

And yeah, colour me bewildered that we're getting a third Taste. I didn't watch the last one past the selection rounds but the presentation of the show still really sucks.

The not-distant memory of CBS’s failure with Kid Nation must have been a consideration. The 2007 show put 40 children ages 8 to 15 in a New Mexico ghost town and asked them to create a viable society without adult supervision, then was canceled amid allegations of child abuse, child labor law disputes, and a New York Times article about the insane contracts the parents signed.

Haha, uh

hmm.
