That is pretty strange. Most people probably do start to learn to cook from their parents who learned from their parents and so on, so I suppose there is an element where any taste developed for the western dessert style might have been something they had to acquire instead of something they grew up with, especially since a lot of these people aren't from a culinary school where they would have learned all of that. I know my girlfriend, whose dad is from Japan and is a sushi chef and now runs his restaurant here in Florida, took some time to get used to the desserts I made even though she was born and raised here in the US. I've come to discover that some of my Chinese friends that grew up in more traditional households are in a completely different frame of mind with regards to pastries especially. I can see how some might be adjusting to the judges who are all from a decidedly western background.
Haaaa... the music they play during Tali's burger is the "guy doing something really dumb, but he doesn't realize it yet" music. How the hell do you eat that thing?

After checking again, here's the breakdown:
Slim Huynh - Lost because of a stupid fondue plate in a romance challenge
Mike Kim - Lost in a dessert challenge (vanilla)
Alvin Schultz - Lost in a dessert challenge (coffee)
Esther Kang - Lost in a dessert challenge (sponge cake)
Suzy Singh - Lost in a dessert challenge (lemon meringue)
Michael Chen - Lost in a dessert challenge (apple pie)
In the history of masterchef, we've only had one asian chef who was eliminated for something that wasn't a dessert challenge.
Maybe before trying out for master chef they should try making some of the classic western desserts. Its actually something all of the chefs should do. Desserts usually include baking, which unlike cooking you need to follow very specfic formulas. A lot of chefs fail on dessert challanges because they cant just wing it.
I don't understand how Becky was in the top three. Even if she did an absolutely perfect dessert, it still wouldn't fulfill the criteria of being something people would pay $40 for.
Oh, come on. You've never paid $40 for half a peach?
I might, if it had two $20 bills under it.
The only desert of those three I've ever tried (and made) is tiramisu. I don't understand how you can make tiramisu in the time allotted, Is it normal to make tiramisu without time to chill?
I still have no idea what a trifle is. Even after checking wikipedia, it sounds like gibberish. I wish they explained it on the show.

Trifle is like a desert casserole. generally it's layers of sponge cake soaked in a liqour or port, custard, fruit, jello(optional), and whipped cream on top.
At one point, Monti asks David if he has any flour. Why would David have flour? He's making tiramisu. Unless you're making spongue cake from scratch (which I actually did once for a gluten free friend), why would you need flour?
I'm surprised by how many people left the leaves on in strawberry shortcake. Why?
Becky's dish was so weird. So weird.
Tali says he used liquid nitrogen. So maybe that's how they got things to chill faster?
Notice how there was only one winner this episode? Does that mean that Stacy gets to pick her entire team?

he didn't say he used liquid nitrogen, he says he used nitrogen (but he probably meant nitrous oxide) charges in a cream whipper bottle to make that strawberry foam.
and Becky just went crazy trying to get way too fancy and show off, without thinking of how all the parts would taste together. individually I'm sure each bit was great.
They might of used a blast chiller for the tiramisu, but its more likely they were just sorta room temp.
Looking back, the only non-Asian chef to be eliminated on a desert challenge other than Scott was Sharone and season 1. And keep in mind, there were no other Asian chefs left at that point.
i'm disappointed none of these have deviated from a brioche bun yet
someone needs to do something awesome like throw it between two slices of sourdough or garlic bread or something
Anna's big mistake is that she didn't seem to know what she was doing, even though she turned in a pasta dish for the audition. So she was probably thrown off by all the arguing and her head wasn't in the game. i.e., she forgot to turn on the burner, which is why the pot wasn't boiling. How do you forget that?
I don't know if she made tortellini before, but she's probably made ravioli, and piercing the pasta was stupid.
The good thing about Masterchef compared to other cooking show is that all of the eliminations are individual challenges that are somewhat fair (i.e., no "cater for 600 people using one burner" challenges). The downside is that the pressure cooker challenges are way too specific, but I guess that's the point of losing.
Also, Stacy's strategy of having Tali around to throw under the bus was hilarious.
It also didn't surprise me at all that the Mexican truck won. I mean, cmon... it's frickin LA, of course the truck serving tacos is gonna kick ass. Huge hispanic population and culture in LA.
Also... according to the show, two sliders for 7 bucks is a bargain? WTF kinda fairytale world do they live in?
So, on Hell's Kitchen has anyone started to stand out as actually being good? Usually you can single out a couple of contestants who are the real deal from the get go, but this season it just seems like everyone sort of sucks.
It'll be a few episodes before we get the hero-good chef and villain-good chef. It's still open who will be the annoying chef who inexplicably sticks around, but it looks to be Barbie or obese redhead.
The food truck competition was sooo fucking stupid. Like DA said, of course Mexican food won. You're not competing for skill when the other two trucks are American and Indian.
The fat dude was such an idiot, though. "I'm cooking these faster than they can serve them." See, thing is you're not cooking them.

I usually watch this when I'm working out, so my attention is heavily divided, but even I caught that.

Both Kimmie and Barbie are both competent, though I do find Kimmie a bit annoying. I just can't see how one could find Barbie more annoying than Tiffany or Robyn. Tiffany was screwing the pooch royally on apps (even admitting that she didn't care about the child diners) and Barbie stepped in and saved her, both with the pizza and the binellis. Robyn is just horrible, not to mention a hypocrite. She was whining about Kimmie calling her a bitch but she was calling her a bitch under her breath the whole time. It's mind boggling.
On the Masterchef front, I liked the guest bit. Nice fakeout. Tali should've been on the chopping block instead of Tanya, I think. He's constantly serving up crap and then says that the judges can't appreciate his genius, or something. Arrogant goose should've been tossed off weeks ago.
I don't think it's any coincidence that the bottom 3 were all people who didn't use the pizza stone to make something resembling a pizza, or at least involving dough in the case of Monti. That may have been all that saved Tali. But seriously, how do you manage to dump half a kitchen on the floor making a pizza? I just think they didn't dump him here because it's pretty clear he's going to lose eventually and they'll have many, many other chances.
As more the becoming-much-less-interesting HK, I imagine Justin has been waiting in the weeds because any time he shows up, he's doing something well. I'd guess him, Dany, and Christina as 3/4 of the final four, along with someone else who won't win.

I'll take Barbie and her shit-eating grin over Kimmie, Robyn, and Tiffany and their "Naw, naw. Fuck you ho! You a skank! Whatchu gon do bitch?" any day.

I've stopped watching Hell's Kitchen, there is just not a single likable chef on that show. They crammed this season full of what could easily be the cast of like big brother or something along those lines. Each season has been getting a little worse for that, I can't even imagine how bad next season will be if the general populace is enjoying this season. And my worst fear is that Master Chef will be dragged down the same route.
Justin isn't bad at all. He's just surrounded my morons and misfits. I'm calling him and Christina for the final show.
Plus, I'm not really a huge fan of the narrative they're building around him of being this hyper-aroused bro.

I'm curious. What did your research turn up?
Haha this is ridiculous, aside from being impossible to eat it doesn't even look that good.

That's like whining, "That steak looks nice, but it looks like it's full of meat."
Looks way better then the mush Felix made.
Why were there arguing so much? It's not like they're voting.
No, Anna! You were so cute! But also married so I guess goodbye.

They were using yeast packets. Don't yeast packets have the recipe on the back?
You're an idiot, Mike.
