Masterchef Junior is back!
Episode 1 rankings!
Oona - She had me disappointed when she talked about her bean frencher in her bio, but babygirl pulled through this episode. She's so cute and I hope she does well.
Levi - I like Levi because he's from Illinois, he loves Maryland crabs and Old Bay, and he seems like a normal kid. I don't like it when the kids on this show come off more as characters than kids. They're too young for that other life. But I was so pissed when Natalie said he had the best dishe and then they didn't show it. Robbed. I hope he wins something. Right now I'm rooting for him to win the competition.
Natalie - Wasn't expecting to like her, but although Oona and Mitchell's dishes looked more interesting to me, she had a huge portion and she cooked it perfectly. I was let down by how she chose chicken for the ohter kids and not duck. I feel like duck would've been a more fun and challenging ingredient. But she's a competitor and I respect her. And she was impressed by Levi, so I have to take that into consideration.
Sean - THIS IS UNEXPECTED. Sean is super cute, but he said things in his bio that made me question him hard. HOWEVER, his wings looked amazing and I want them. he definitely deserved the win the most IMO.
Josh - this kid needs all of the gifs. He's so previous and funny and I want him to do well.
Mitchell - Also unexpected. of all the guys, I thought Mitchell's bio was among the least impressive, and the healthy food talk worried me tbh, but he brought it this episode, and I'm proud of him. he had my favorite dish of the top three in the Mystery Box challenge. Also, "is that a body??" best <3
Logan - Bowtie baby is one of my preshow favorites. He didn't do well, but I look forward to what he can bring in the future episodes. He had a lot of good one liners too and I liked how he was happy for Mitchell (unlike someone was when he wasn't picked for top 3)
Addiah - she was my favorite girl preshow, but she was pretty UTR this week. I hope she can step it up soon.
Abby Oh, the baby. She reminds me of Sarah from last year, but more humble. And her food might be more appetizing tbh. I think she's overhyped, I'm pretty sure tumblr only likes her because she's 8, but I'm overall indifferent to her. I did like her Elimination Test dish though, that sounded good.
Samuel - I took one look at this kid and knew he would piss me off, and well hi. Firstly, he doesn't look 12, and I don't believe for a secon that he's not 15. Secondly, he was a bit too pompous for episode one and I didn't like how he was bitter about Oona getting in the top 3 of MB. She deserved it, please sit down. His wings looked good, but I'm not a fan so far.
Sam - Sam had zero airtime so I can't judge him higher than this tbh.
Jessica? Jennifer? - that should explain it all. I think she gets to talk next week but as of now, I wouldn't mind seeing her go because I dont know who she is.
Everyone who got eliminated, sadly, I understood. I didn't fully grasp why Berry was going home, but she wasn't popping out in the first episode, so I get it in hindsight. That Isabella scene brought me close to tears, but there was no way she wasn't leaving :(
Overall, a great Premiere with a pretty exciting cast. I just wish Roen was back.
