MASTERCHEF has consistently dominated its highly competitive time periods in key demos each past season. The strength of MASTERCHEF extends to its Total Multi-Platform Audience (7.2 Million, rising +67% from its Live + Same Day delivery). MASTERCHEF’s non-linear viewership contributes 19% of MASTERCHEF’s Total Multi-Platform Audience, more than any other FOX unscripted program.

In tonight’s all-new episode, “Moo-vers and Bakers,” airing 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on FOX, the Top 10 home cooks enter the Wild West, where they face their next team challenge and create steak meals for 101 cowboys and ranchers. The team that receives the most winning votes will moo-ve on in the competition, while the remaining home cooks will face the next pressure test. Back in the MASTERCHEF kitchen for the pressure test, the losing team will bake tarts and see who can bake their way to victory.

MASTERCHEF is produced by Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato, and are based on a format created by Franc Roddam and Endemol Shine. Elisabeth Murdoch, Eden Gaha, Robin Ashbrook, Gordon Ramsay, Adeline Ramage Rooney, Patricia Llewellyn and Ben Adler serve as executive producers.
