  • MasterChef 3: Top 18

    I actually got to watch the third episode of MasterChef season 3 relatively on time tonight.  I re-learned how much I hate tweeting live…I miss half the show and have to keep backing it up. This season is very, very strange.  The pace is off.  It’s either going so fast you can’t keep up, or…

  • MasterChef Season 3: Auditions

    So I’ve been on the road for the past 3 weeks, and I missed the original airing of the MasterChef auditions.  After a frantic arrival back in Dallas with barely enough time to cook for FRANK on Saturday, I finally had time to sit down and get caught up before the show airs tonight! The…

My first impression is…Christian seems different in this episode.  And I am wondering if it’s just…
