Tạ Minh Khuê -10 Anh MY FAVOURITE TV SHOW – MASTERCHEF U.S I have been watching a lot of TV shows on TV until now but the TV programme which I like best is MasterChef US MasterChef is a U.S competitive cooking reality show based on the original U.K version of the show MasterChef , open to amateur and home chefs Chef, TV personality and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay together with restaurateur and vineyard owner Joe Bastianich (later replaced by pastry chef Christina Tosi) and chef Graham Elliot were the original judges in the US version of MasterChef It debuted on July 27, 2010 at pm ET/PT on the FoxTV Network, following the professional cooking competition series, Hell's Kitchen It has just been on the seventh season so far so that there has been a few changes First , it’s about the judges as I have said Second it’s its format In the first four seasons, amateur chefs were initially selected through nationwide auditions, selecting a total of 100 competitors to the start of the televised competition In the preliminary rounds, each of these had an opportunity to prepare a signature dish for the trio of judges They were given a limited amount of time to prep their dish, and then minutes before the judges to complete the cooking and assembly of the dish, during which the judges ask about their background The judges taste the dish, and vote "yes" or "no" to keeping the chef in the competition; "yes" votes are required for the chef to move on and receive a MasterChef apron, while those who fail to so leave the competition At least one round was then used to trim the number of remaining chefs to about sixteen to eighteen Judges can advance a chef to the next round or eliminate them at any time during the challenge by taking their apron In Season 5, auditions were dropped, and thirty competitors were challenged directly in the MasterChef kitchen to get an apron In Season 6, twenty semi-finalists were surprised when they were told they had to go into head-to-head competition with another competitor cooking a dish with the same main ingredient; the winner received an apron After that , there is at least homecook have to go home per episode There was then a final last-chance cook-off where each judge selected non-winners to compete for the final aprons., with one chef eliminated after the second and fourth event The events typically are: - Mystery Box - Elimination Test - Pressure Test - Team Challenge The final face off in preparing a complete three course menu in a fixed amount of time (2 hours overall in the first seasons, one hour per dish since Season 4) in which the judges evaluate both the individual dishes and the overall meal's composition The judges then select the winner of MasterChef, who wins $250,000, their own cookbook and a MasterChef trophy The show is produced by Shine America and One Potato Two Potato and it’s aired on every Wednesday at 8p.m on Fox channel All in all , I really love this show as I love cooking very much I really admire their talent of cooking I am not only happy whenever I watch this show but I can also learn a lot of cooking experience and some cooking tips from the home-cooks as well as the judges’ advice Last but not least , MasterChef provides me a large amount of knowledge about all kinds of cuisines all over the world ... meal's composition The judges then select the winner of MasterChef, who wins $250,000, their own cookbook and a MasterChef trophy The show is produced by Shine America and One Potato Two Potato... channel All in all , I really love this show as I love cooking very much I really admire their talent of cooking I am not only happy whenever I watch this show but I can also learn a lot of cooking... from the home-cooks as well as the judges’ advice Last but not least , MasterChef provides me a large amount of knowledge about all kinds of cuisines all over the world
