MasterChef always seemed to be one of the worst in terms of seeming scripted. I completely agree about people being saved for drama and conflict value. It is mildly ridiculous. Who didn't see the setup of the BurgR segment coming? <br /><br />Not sure how the other judges are in other countries (I think several countries run versions of MasterChef), but the American version judges are just so over the top. Everything they say has the air of script to it. And they all end up mimicking Godon's... way... of... speaking. The most... beautiful... Walmart... steaks. "Gordon, we have 2 hours to fill this episode, but only 1 hour of content. We need you to stall as much as you can."<br /><br />Yet, I will watch week after week. I'm a sucker for these types of shows. Next Food Network Star is on now too.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311913845542508413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502147034902892828.post-28653831057013646502013-06-16T08:58:41.716-04:002013-06-16T08:58:41.716-04:00I'm not sure how many episodes of Masterchef y...I'm not sure how many episodes of Masterchef you've seen so far this season, but I feel that this current is the most scripted season yet. Contestants are clearly saved for their drama and conflict value. This season's cast also seem to have way more conflict in them compared to previous seasons.<br /><br />I'd cry foul on this but recently my country made its very own version of the show and it was extremely bland (<i>and not just the food</i>). Good food, conflict, and Gordon Ramsay apparently is the recipe (<i>pun intended</i>) for good TV!!asrap virtuosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619196693619042618noreply@blogger.com
