MasterChef 8 and the "crap"

"The simple is the most complicated," Luna said last night on MasterChef 8 after a terrible elimination test and an expulsion that was more than unexpected and painful. Luna was not missing an iota of reason. In one of the simplest programs that I remember from MasterChef everything ended up becoming the kitchens of hell. Not a simple cream of vegetables, nor a chicken, nor a cream of aubergines, and if you hurry me, almost not put salt. A "crap", a "spit" and a "and it's over" by Jordi Cruz that some came from pearls and that sounded like rain hitting against the glass.

MasterChef 8 could not have made it easier for the applicants of this edition nor more difficult. The nerves of the majority, the petulance of some others, the overflowing hysteria and the infantilism of a few turned a program made to look like a disaster written in capital letters.

In fact, the test with the greatest culinary complication, the outdoor test, was the only one in which all the applicants, some more than others, survived and did so with good marks. So much so that in the words of Jordi Cruz "the best rice that has been made in all editions of MasterChef " was served . There it is. But before you had to face vegetables and fruits and then a simple, but full of dangers, chicken.

Yes, a chicken ended last night with a favorite candidate, with the Top Gun of MasterChef 8 , with Commander Rosa . Of course, what is happening in this edition of MasterChef is inexplicable. The favorites are falling like flies, and as the escabechina continues, they are mounting a feast of illusion and joy with Saray and Fidel, which I better not tell you about. Last week Adrienne and Monica , two of the favorites; This one, Rosa , the favorite, what awaits us next week? The expulsion of Iván, Sara Lúa, Ana ... It is a lifeless.

That Rosa , commander of the Air Force, said goodbye to the MasterChef kitchens after she choked on a chicken, means that here there is no last word or favorite that is worth. The judges have said it many times, a bad night, a bad elimination test can end everything. Rosa had a bad program, as most did, that they were saved almost, almost by a miracle, "by the hair" and because Rosa choked on the chicken. From now on it will be "Rosa, eat the chicken!" .

Iván, José María and their pride

The first test of the third MasterChef 8 program was dedicated to food sustainability, which is nothing more than teaching that food is not thrown away because it looks unpleasant. Tons of food are wasted a year because aesthetically they do not meet the beauty standards of those who are going to eat them or those who are going to cook them. So the applicants had to dance with vegetables and fruits that were not the most beautiful, but they had to be the absolute protagonists of this first cooking.

The judges warned him and Elena Furiase , the guest last night in this test also, the best thing was that they did not complicate themselves and that they brought out a simple, tasty and above all appetizing dish. The key to the test was to prepare a vegetable dish that just by eating it you would eat the entire tableware. They did not ask for watermarks or rabbits taken from the top hat, they asked for simplicity, and in simplicity they got lost. Catastrophe .

Most applicants opted for the easiest, to prepare creams, but as Jordi Cruz said if you prepare a cream, it has to be the best cream. Not even remotely. Fidel and Juana went straight for the ratatouille, with very different results. While Juana prepared a ratatouille that made Pepe Rodríguez take out even the bread to dip the egg well and savor a ratatouille as God intended, Fidel's business ended in monumental disaster. He was not the only one. Andy made a kind of dessert full of pretend that the judges are starting to get tired, a lot. If last week the word "pretentious" was almost tattooed on his forehead, this week would be no less.

Andy has a problem, if not several, he believes more than he knows and more than he is, and that the judges and his colleagues do not like a hair. Last night they warned him again and he returned to take a rapapolvo that the lawyer goes in one ear and out the other because every time he stands in front of the stove he does the same thing. He tries to impress with techniques, textures and other ornaments and ends up messing up the hock. Those airs of superiority do not fit in MasterChef , or at least in this MasterChef . Nathan only had one and bad imitations don't like it. Now, since he thinks that being "pretentious" does not have to be a bad thing, it will continue to crash until it falls off the cliff.

The same thing happens to Iván and José María . Last night they did the same thing as in the previous program: they wanted to be above the judges and with Jordi Cruz this game is not played. The first one presented a cream that, although it could be eaten, you did not know if you were eating a vegetable cream or "poison" , the word of Elena Furiase. Very nice, very well presented, but when you put the spoon in your mouth it was the end. The judges were very tough and, again, Iván did not accept the criticism because Iván did not tell anyone. Hala, I'd already pissed off Jordi! And José María and his beet gazpacho arrived to finish off the tragedy.

The musician's pride is his worst enemy. He had never prepared a beet gazpacho before, but he threw himself into the pool because it is so cool and so much that he has to go one step further. When you have no way and below you have the abyss the only thing that can happen is that you die trying. José María died killing as he always does. For him his gazpacho was great, for the judges a "crap", a "marranada". "This is a bullshit and it's over," said Jordi Cruz , who is beginning to be a little until the fig of ghostly aspirants .

Of course, José María did not accept the criticism, and it was the perfect excuse for Jordi Cruz to read the primer to them again. Both him and Iván, who can not stand one more criticism. "You discuss everything this jury tells you. You are the most competing applicants who have been here for 8 years," the Catalan chef warned them. José María fell silent, but Iván was already there to return the ball: "What you don't want is for us to say what we think." Why don't they shut up? With how easy it is to assent and turn the omelette preparing dishes that leave them ojipláticos. Well no, it is better to engage in ridiculous discussions in which they have everything to lose.

"You can refute us from reason and from common sense. José María has brought an ugly dish to what he has said is not true. You have also done it on occasion," warned Jordi Cruz. Silence and looks that kill . If the face with which Ivan looked at Jordi Cruz could have been framed, today it would be part of the horror room of some wax museum. I don't know if Iván's cream was a pointless concoction or if José María's gazpacho was such "crap", but what I do know is that as they continue along that path, Jordi Cruz eats them alive.

Andy's problem

Surprisingly, the best of the test was Luna, followed by Ana, who prepared some beet ravioli that seemed to be luxurious, and Juana stood at the gates with her ratatouille. It seemed very unfair to me. Juana's ratatouille was spectacular, but as it was simply a traditional ratatouille, it did not finish filling that vanity that the judges criticize so much, but which then comes to them where you least expect it. Juana deserved to be one of the best, but it was a simple ratatouille away from Ana's ravioli and Luna's vegetable tacos . Well, I would have kept the ratatouille, but, of course, that's why I'm not a chef.

The outdoor test moved to Murcia , capital of Gastronomy 2020. The applicants were divided into three teams and Ana was in charge of choosing the captains for each one. Brave, the captain of the red team was chosen, while for the white team, with one less candidate, she chose Teresa , and for the blue team, Alberto . But not everyone was happy. I said earlier that Andy has more than one problem. In addition to those pretensions that the judges are beginning to tire them, he also has a problem with his colleagues, or at least, that's what he believes. That they put him in the weakest team for being a less member did not like a hair and thought he saw in the selection a revenge for what he had done to Ivan in the previous program.

I think Andy doesn't like his teammates, but I don't think putting him on the white team was a punishment. "After my decision to take minutes away from Ivan, this is all more than thought to see if they send me to the elimination test and they separate me already," the lawyer accused his colleagues. Something that did not sit well. If you already had Ivan as your enemy , now you have to add Luna, who also does not support the magistrate and has no intention of not being noticed.

Teresa, Andy, José María and Sonsoles remained in the white team . In the blue, Alberto, Luna, Fidel, Rosa and Michael . And in the red, Ana, Iván, Saray, Juana and Sara Lúa . Applicants would have to prepare 9 types of tapas, three for each team, for a total of 100 diners. Of course, they were tapas with ingredients typical of the area and with characteristic dishes from Murcia. Roasted eggplant cream with tostones, glazed cheek with celeriac puree, paparajotes, cheese mousse and lemon with cake biscuit, were some of the dishes they had to prepare. And the truth, you can't lie, but it was one of the best outdoor tests that MasterChef has had .

There were mistakes, it could not be otherwise, but much less the catastrophes that have been seen and, of course, very far from the disaster and the riot of last week. The teams worked quite well, with their pluses and minuses, and except for the odd mistake and, let's call it, sabotage, the truth is that the three worked quite well and took out more than complicated covers. Yes, José María returned to do his, that is, what came out of the bolus, and put with the eel of one of the dishes of his team, passing the warnings of Samantha Vallejo-Nágera , baptized Samantis Religiosa by Saray - ha ha ha! - to do something else and not spend an entire hour cutting millimeter-sized chunks and spitting when cooked with much higher priority.

Nor is it that Teresa did her part so that José María did what the judge asked her to do. Here each one goes to his ball and I do not know if it is that they believe that they are above good and evil or that they directly want to end the figure of the judge and whether they judge themselves. The truth is that they do not pay the heck of what they are told, The blue team had its pluses and minuses. Alberto was not a good captain and having to cook next to Luna is like being swallowed by quicksand. "Cha-pu-ze-ra!" Michael qualified her and I can only agree with him (and now put an accent on a Texas American and that's all done).

Alberto can no longer with the Canary Islands. It is from her to beyond Orion, and it does not surprise me. It must be very difficult to try to do your contest and that all the time they want to sell and buy a folder for which he has not given rise at any time. Luna is heavy, overwhelming, absorbing and on top of that she is more hungry to sell that imaginary affair than to cook. However, the fuck, you are lucky because no matter how bad you do it, no matter how concentrated you are, you take things out or they take them out. And if she gets caught on a resignation, like last night with the eggplant cream, she is lucky that there is always someone who blames herself and takes the chestnuts out of the fire. Very tired .

Rosa, expelled

Of course, the team that worked the best and the best tapas they cooked was the red team, but not thanks to Ana, but surprisingly to Iván . It seems that the Galician learned the lesson and ended up sticking his tongue to the depths of his being (and therefore his pride) to let himself be taught by Jordi Cruz, which is also true last night he gave him one of sand and left the lime for later . Not only did he appreciate the work that was done organizing the team and helping, but he also valued his rice in a cauldron from Murcia as the best in the history of MasterChef . You can't ask for more. The red team, saved, and the other two to the elimination test.

An elimination test in which Jordi Cruz became the lord of the sliced ​​chicken. Ramoncín is no longer the King of chicken, nor fried, nor stewed, nor baked . Well, the chef does not go, puts on a mask and cuts a chicken without looking as if he has spent all his life chopping chickens in the dark. The mother who bore him! -He and MasterChef -. No, applicants did not have to go that far. They had to chop a chicken and make four cooked with the parts of it: grilled, fried, stewed and baked. Facilitate, huh? My noses They couldn't get any more complicated, and they couldn't let their nerves play such bad passes.

As incredible as it may seem, none, except for Luna, Sonsoles and Michael , was able to prepare one chicken in four cooks. Applicants do not know how to cook and, of course, they do not know what a casserole is. And those who knew last night were eaten in bites by the chicken they had chopped. Andy presented 'Four chickens and a rooster' and almost finished the corral. Again, the "pretentious" thing, again that vanity that does not let him advance, again some dishes that want to reach ... and they stay at 0. "He has the flaws of a teenager. This shows that you don't cook, which is something that requires depth. " Zas de Jordi Cruz who was sown last night. The same thing happened to Alberto and Fidel , especially the latter, who almost went through the door of MasterChef not to return.

However, Rosa Pig , as she called herself after the outdoor test and her cooked guarrindongo, couldn't handle the chicken. He tried, but nerves are the worst enemy in a kitchen. Everything was burned, every step he took, every thing he put in the pot, every piece of chicken. It is that he did not remove even one of the four dishes. They were all charred and looking difficult to digest. As difficult to digest as she, Rosa , our Top Gun , was reciting Calderón de la Barca:

"Here the most important

feat is to obey,

and the way how it should be

is neither to ask nor to refuse "

Their motto, what they recite at the Academy when they go running ... And all for a chicken, and all because the simplest always ends up being the most complicated, and all because it was "crap", and all because they got complicated without want it , and all for nothing.
