Friedrich Nietzsche said that "one does not hate oneself while belittling or hating himself more than an equal or a superior" and we are in MasterChef 8 . If last week it was Saray and they believed that with his controversial expulsion, calm would return to the waters, they erred until saying enough. Saray was a problem, but it was not the problem of this edition of Masterchef . The problem with this edition of MasterChef after five weeks of talent is envy, desire and hunger to win. The perfect ingredients for "saña" to take over kitchens without measuring and without mediating what is being done.

In the latest editions of MasterChef there is always the figure of the bad guy, that contestant who hides behind a smile and in reality his role is to light the stove. In this edition, the surprising thing is that there is no bad, there are many. After the deplorable show carried out by Saray last week, and that last night he continued via Twitter attacking his companions as if there was no tomorrow, in the program last night it was discovered that MasterChef 8 is loaded with evildoers.

Evil men who team up to cross out notches in their revolver; evil men who aim at a target and do not rest until they see it fall; Evil who believe in the control of culinary talent , but who received a little of their medicine last night. And I don't know why it gives me that what happened with Michael last night is the beginning of a disaster.

Everybody for Michael

Is both the anxious search show in kitchens and in Masterchef 8 has not been miscalculated how far it is able to reach win or get some other moment of glory. There is no good vibes, there is no team, there is only anger and envy, a lot of envy. Last night it was Michael's turn , the American contestant who until last night was one more and who last night became the center of all the criticism from his teammates, to such a point that the judges had to intercede and stop the rest advising them that it would be better for them to be attentive to Michael's kitchen than to criticize him without mercy and without compassion.

Because this is what happened last night, an excessive attack against a contestant who, even though he was not a saint either, did not deserve at all the criticism and stabbings of some colleagues who leave much to be desired. There is no bad guy, there are a dozen and, although they all look for the same thing, they know how to unite to hunt their prey. Last week his prey was Saray , in the previous ones it was Iván and now it is Michael's turn . And although it cannot be compared between them, the truth is that they all have a common goal, to kill those who see the strongest (with the exception of Saray whose goal was to kill the black sheep from MasterChef 8 ).

In the show last night things happened, let's call them, very rare . Already in the first test where the applicants had to fry with different batters (Roman, Andalusian, raincoat, tempura ...) the wolf began to make an appearance. The judges are the ones who know and the judges are the ones who decide, but there are decisions that I find difficult to understand. Why are Juana's dishes valued so positively and she is never given what she deserves? Juana, the grandmother of this edition, has a couple of programs doing it well, doing the right thing and far exceeding the cooking of her colleagues. The judges know it, they value it well, but when it comes down to it, when you have to give him what he deserves there is always someone who is ahead of him.

The contempt for Aleix

In the first test last night only Juana, Ana and José María were able to remove some batters in conditions, although the three were unable to make a gabardine shrimp. The judges' valuation was very similar for all three, but Ana and José María , who would be the ones who would compete with the MasterChef 7 winner , Aleix, won for getting the immunity pin. And Juana? Why not Juana? What was the difference between Juana's batters and, for example, José María's? Why did Michael's or Ivan's breaded breast not meet the requirements and José María's that was more or less the same - burnt hair - yes? Well, because you have to feed the wolf. If you want the wolf to bite, bring the prey to its snout. And that is what they do with José María.

José María is the contestant who has no friends, but who faces the gallery gives the impression that he is a saint. He is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing , and the more they feed his ego the more the little leg teaches. So it gives me the feeling that they give him the possibility of being the 'chosen one' not because his meals are really the best, but because they want to feed the beast. If already in the test of the batters the fog was dissipating, in the test in which it was decided who would take the pin of immunity it was more than clear.

Ana and José María would cook a free dish with Aleix , but with ingredients agreed between Ana and José María. It was not complicated much, lamb, wine, butter, potato, mushroom, carrots, onions and to throw. Aleix , the 'mistreated' guest of the night, put on his white jacket again to cook with the two chosen and submit again to the assessment of the judges, who left the kitchens for a moment leaving the cooking in the hands of three stars Michelin.

How is it possible that José María got more points than the winner of the last edition just out of the Basque Culinary Center course? How is it possible that Aleix announced the next opening of his restaurant and the judges gave him a few sticks? How is it possible that I looked down on him like that? The guests go to the program to tell about their experience on MasterChef and talk about their projects, not to be given a brave brace. Everyone, except Aleix, who took a good rapapolvo and was left behind by an applicant, despite the fact that while they were cooking what was clear is that Aleix did know what he was doing and José María had to receive some help to get ahead a rack of lamb that without the help of the invited chefs would have been a lamb dream.

It is true that Ana made a dish that was too basic, without much pretense and taking advantage of what she called her plan B due to the inability to get out some soufflé potatoes. And it is also true that José María gave the meat the perfect point, that the garnish worked a little more and that he worked a tad more. But much less was José María's dish much better than Aleix's and it was not necessary to highlight the winner of MasterChef 7 . That everything responds to a little bit of show and entertainment, perfect, but giving José María wings nothing good comes out.

"It is not clean wheat"

In the outdoor test, the team moved to Bermeo (Vizcaya) where the applicants would pay tribute to the hundreds of fishermen who make it possible for ingredients to arrive on our table every day, which makes cooking in Spain one of the best in the world. . As José María had been the best in the previous test, apart from taking the immunity pin, he was given the opportunity to choose the captains. José María was very smart and chose Juana and Fidel . Neither had been a captain before and the differences between them were going to be the key to the test. To choose the members of each team, the captains would have to count the time well, the time that each of their teammates was worth and that would be subtracted from cooking. Juana chose Sara Lúa , José María , Teresa , Sonsoles and by discard (and because she had no other choice) Michael . Suddenly, without eating or drinking it, Michael was the worst of the worst in MasterChef kitchens .

Juana , the sweet grandmother of this edition, brought out her darker side by confessing that she did not want Michael in her team, that Michael was not "clean wheat", that he was not trusted, that he was a liar, that he said one thing and then he said another. Their faces when having to choose it after being last in the selection said it all. Between the first test and the outdoor test we missed something. So far no one has opened his mouth about Michael beyond the typical clashes in an equipment test, and suddenly Michael was the worst thing that was in MasterChef, the applicant with whom no one wanted to work and the bad partner who does the things with a bad background.

Not only was Juana dedicating herself to airing her discomfort at having to work with Michael in the kitchens, telling each of her colleagues, it was that a judge approached her kitchens and the first thing the good woman did was criticize Michael and make it clear that it was not good, that "it is not clean wheat." How would it be the thing that one of the times Samantha Vallejo Nágera came over there and Juana came up on her to say in her ear how unhappy she was with Michael , Samantha was so checkered that she didn't even know what to say. The same paintings that remained for me to see someone like Juana, who is distributing love and meekness everywhere, with so much mischief made a companion.

With the exception of Teresa and Sonsoles , who focused on dessert and things did not seem to go with them, both Sara Lúa and Juana and José María began to shoot at a Michael who did not know that the bullets were approaching him too quickly. It is true that Michael sinned boldly when he stated that he was capable of grilling breams because he made a lot of grilling in the USA. Already, soul of a pitcher, you will have made many barbecues, but grilled breams, as Jordi Cruz said , little, that breams are not the star set on the other side of the pond.

But the man gave him all the intention and followed the instructions of a Juana who only wanted a good roll in the kitchen, but took her hand out for a walk when she could. If Michael spoke loudly, wham !; if Michael cut the potatoes very slowly, wham !; If Michael tried to explain to Sara Lúa and José María for having told the latter not to speak to him during cooking, wham! And so during the 160 minutes that the cooking of the blue team lasted.

And for whom did the blame end when the bream came out raw? Indeed, Michael . It is true that he took care of the grill, but it is also true that Juana , not trusting him very much, asked Sara Lúa to control the work that Michael was doing . And what did Sara Lúa do? What these applicants like the most, to act as captain when they are not a captain, but they want to command because sending is cool. Between José María putting chili pepper in the oil of the bream to burn the tongues of half Bermeo, Sara Lúa more pending to make clear that Michael does not have a good background than to focus on what had to be focused and Juana looking for peace and harmony, the cooked not It was the best that has been seen, although it was much better than that of his peers.

"He is playing a victim role. He is funny and happy, but then it is quite the opposite," Sara Lúa told the cameras during cooking. Like the one who is funny and happy and then puts it folded is another. Right José María? Look how Iván has more than a hole in the musician and in the elimination test he did not miss the opportunity to describe him as "shingles" . Galician is more right than a saint.

The red team, made up of Fidel, Luna, Andy, Iván, Alberto and Ana , did not hit any of the dishes. The pochas are almost taken out after coffee because they do not calculate cooking times well; the Basque pie was a shortcrust pastry with lumpy pastry cream that was hard to get past the throat, the scant and burnt bell peppers and the past fish. Come on, three out of none. Fidel did what he was expected to do Fidel , let each captained himself and the good work of his colleagues saved him. Well no, it didn't save him. The red team went straight to elimination not without first witnessing the blue team's attack on Michael who held the pull as best they could.

I get the feeling that Michael has been through so much in his life that listening to the pointless criticism of his peers and his uncontrollable attacks brings her to hell. Michael has a very clear objective, to cook, and perhaps if the others had the same and left aside looking for objectives to knock down, another rooster would sing to them. Despite the fact that Michael and his team had the white apron, the American did not escape the stabbings of his companions. Stabbings that knew how to fit in without much fuss, despite the fact that they kept coming even before the whites became blacks and black aprons risked their continuity in the cooking of their saved companions.

The cruellest removal of MasterChef 8

Yes, last night's elimination test was pointless from start to finish. How is it possible that the one who has been saved has to cook to save the one who has been sent to the elimination test? Isn't it supposed that what judges have to value for someone to stay or be expelled is how they cook in said test? How can someone who has already done their job in outdoor testing be held so responsible? It was a cruel test and a test that did not seek to value those who had lost in the outdoor test, but to put a problem and generate more tension in an edition that is more than enough tension.

José María would give each applicant the ingredient with which to cook. It could be each applicant's favorite ingredient or the ingredient he hated the most. Except for Luna and Andy , he gave the rest what he hated the most. And then the surprise came, the white aprons would cook to save their companions. A full-blown bitch, very unfair to everyone. For those who have to bear the responsibility and for those who have to gamble their continuity in the hands of another.

Most of them did well and the truth is that the white aprons did everything possible to save their colleagues. But Fidel , who had already been through several tests completely lost, let himself go and went olympically from Teresa's cooking and cow's heart. Teresa, who in her life has made a casino, played it all on a single card and was the losing hand. " For me, this experience has been the worst thing in my life , failing a partner is the worst thing that can happen to me. This is going to sink me too, I am so sorry. It is not fair," Teresa confessed after the expulsion of Fidel , who tried to remove all possible burden from Teresa. Hard.

Fidel deserved the expulsion, just as Michael deserved the applause and the support of the judges, after embroidering some snails that saved Ana by a landslide. Now Ana loved Michael very much and many mouths were closed by the jury itself that made it very clear to the other applicants who stop stabbing Michael and learn a little more about him. The theory of the judges is that Michael is hit because they are afraid, because they know that he cooks, my theory is that Michael is hit because they think he is weak and with little support. Error! Michael is not that he is very above them in terms of culinary talent, but he does have something that others lack, he is for cooking and not for making a show .
