What’s This TV Show About?
A cooking competition series airing on the FOX television network, MasterChef features talented home cooks battling for the title, a cookbook deal, and the grand prize of $250,000.00. Joining chefs Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi on the season eight judging panel is chef and restaurateur Aarón Sánchez, who served as one of the guest judges, last season.

Telly’s Take
This show is such a tease. All that delicious food, and yet for eight seasons, there’s been nary a nibble for this hungry television vulture. Although season eight is down in the ratings, I suspect MasterChef will still be renewed for a ninth season. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page from time to time.

What do you think? Do you think the MasterChef TV show will be renewed for season nine? How would you feel if FOX cancelled this TV series, instead?
This is horrible that such a family show being cancelled. My whole family enjoys watching and probably the only show we all watch as a family. I am sure they can come up with an idea on how to either donate or have people in the audience eat the food that is cooked. So there is no waste. Come on lets keep this show running, I will truly miss watching with my boys.
I hope MasterChef is renewed I very much enjoy it I have even gotten my husband watching. Some say this is just another reality show. It’s not I’m a faithful follower of this show so Please don’t drop it.
