While a romantically themed episode of a cooking competition show would make more sense, say, in the middle of February, but that wasn't logistically possible for 'MasterChef', since it airs in the summer.
After this week's episode of 'MasterChef', it is down to 11 contestants, as Christine Silverstein was sent home due to her truffle dish being considered not up to snuff.
'MasterChef' features competing cooks partaking in a series of challenges to try and emerge as the winner, this time for someone who will be important to impress.
The competition is already getting fierce and heated on season 5 of Masterchef, and the battle between two aspiring chefs gets so bad, it forces judge Gordon Ramsay to step in and break things up.
With the season 5 premiere set to air in just a few days, the celebrity judges of FOX’s 'MasterChef' are promising a season that is ‘five times better’ than the seasons that came before it.
As 30 new chefs compete for a chance to win the newest 'MasterChef' title by competing in a series of new challenges, they may also be forced to judge and witness Chef Gordon Ramsay exhibiting a split personality.
