Masterchef US is probably the worst Masterchef series I have ever seen.As someone who has seen different versions of Masterchef series especially the Australian version I can without a doubt say that the difference between Masterchef US and Masterchef Australia is like day and night.The Masterchef series is about celebrating food,learning about various kinds of food and techniques involved...Also the journey the contestants make to the top to take the trophy.All of this is lost and washed out in Masterchef US.Though it's a cooking show Masterchef US is mainly and I think it's only goal is about DRAMA,DRAMA and MORE DRAMA.The contestants shouts and throw shade at each other and show no respect to each other.You also won't learn a lot about food or even cooking when compared to the Australian version.Each season I would hope that it will be different but NO.Masterchef US is a DRAMA show first "NOT" a COOKING show.If you want to know about food,learn about food and enjoy cooking food please avoid I mean really avoid Masterchef US and instead watch Masterchef Australia....and I bet that you will know and notice the difference immediately.In the Australian version the Judges,contestants and the challenges are complex and delightful where as in the Masterchef US is all just mediocre and frankly completely dull.Masterchef US is the "laughing stock" in the entire Masterchef series.I wholeheartedly hope that they stop airing Masterchef US and spare itself some embarrassment from other Masterchef series especially Masterchef Australia.I gave one star because I couldn't give less than one star to post this review.
Like Hells Kitchen tis show is about a cooking contest and it's entertaining but also not very complex. It's a fun short bit of entertainment. Nothing less and nothing more.
The show is good but he needs to make those people that he have chosen for the shows to pull their hair back especially people with facial hair and long hair they need to pull their hair back that's in on sanitary and that's you know it's kind of nasty in a way somebody cooking and their hair hanging all over their food that doesn't look too well especially presented on TV. Now don't get me wrong I love to show cuz that's all I watch is his shows I watch his Hell's kitchen I watch The next level chef MasterChef now don't get too much into the kids but I do like to watch your shows and I like his cold co-host people the one that's from Italy and he's very very unique so I like him too and the other guy he's cool too I like his haircut the one he always stands in the middle anyway they're three amazing chefs and I like how he do stuff but y'all make them put their hair back that doesn't look too good make them put their hair back okay thank you.
Let's see some new challenges amateur master chef is getting predictable and boring. We have had some marvellous past champions who could set some amazing challenges. How about a family member setting a restaurant quality challenge? How about plant based challenges or vegan challenges. I'm sure there are chefs out there who could set these challenges.
Could we have a guest replacing either John or Gregg during a round? Can we have a pudding round? How about a specific 'country'' round eg Nepalese , Greek, Iceland cuisine?
How about a parent and son/daughter amateur master chef? Finally a John Torride Greg Wallace Grace Dent Jay Rayner.... you see where I'm coming from challenge 😀

I've watched both the British and Australian versions of Masterchef which were never perfect but the US version just elevates them in comparison.
It feels like a contrived soap opera with random, forgettable people screeching about for no rhyme or reason. There are no master classes, over the top sob stories, scripted drama and predictable judges. The show has the least amount of episodes but they're the most tedious. It gives me a headache to be honest.
This show is only for people who have short attention spans and no interest in food.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGordon Ramsay has stated that he is much more understanding of mistakes on this show due to the fact that contestants are amateurs who want to learn. He stated he has no problem teaching and helping, but when dealing with professional chefs on his other shows, he has far less patience as a lack of skills usually indicates laziness or neglect in those scenarios.
- GoofsWhenever the contestants cook for the public particularly in the team challenges, the contestants don't always wear some type of protective cover for their hair, such as a hairnet.
