"Your specialty begins to be making noise in order not to do what corresponds to you. And above all, cursing and poisoning Ana . You have poisoned her by saying that she was wrong and you have poisoned her by saying that I said things to her so that she was wrong." ... And I'm still applauding. They had to spend 16 weeks in MasterChef 8 so that at last, without his immunity pin, the program, says Jordi Cruz, put in his place José Mari , the evildoer with the name and surname of this edition, the strategist, the poison. 16 weeks later and at the gates of the final, José Mari has hung his apron and left the MasterChef kitchens, doing the same thing that he did in week one, in week two, in three ... a lot of lilies and little lerele. That is, less cooking, everything else.

Sorry to be that clear, but the path José Mari chose many weeks ago had to end where it ended last night, outside of MasterChef 8 . José Mari was no longer an applicant who was competing to reach the final or to win MasterChef 8 , José Mari had become the applicant who was stepping heads, one after another, without measuring, without thinking, without neglecting his such an unhealthy rivalry, without the end of his path being anything other than ending his companions. But do not finish off your colleagues demonstrating their worth in the kitchens, their evolution and their knowledge, demonstrating that, as Jordi Cruz told him , his "specialty" was "malmeter".

What surprises me most about this, that last night Jordi Cruz stopped him in his tracks, that last night Jordi Cruz became the voice of many bored spectators of José Mari , that last night he cut off the wings of such a crow, was that this It does not come from yesterday, nor from yesterday, nor from two weeks ago, nor from three weeks ago. That of José Mari comes from long ago, of the program in which they gave him the pin of immunity and turned an apprentice of evil into the father of all evil . If José Mari is not in the final of MasterChef 8 with Andy , Ana , Luna , Alberto and Iván , the finalists of MasterChef , it is because in his recipe book there was no longer food but poison, a poison that has been consuming him little little by little, a poison that has ended up opening the doors to say goodbye to MasterChef 8 .

You just have to see which first program without its pin and first program expelled. Oh, if the damn pin hadn't existed! We would not have had to live the shameful and humiliating "boycott" that José Mari prepared for Michael ; We wouldn't have had to hear every minute how wonderful it was to have that pin; we should not have witnessed stupid confrontations that distort talent ; And most of all, we shouldn't have seen MasterChef 8's 'poison' grab and grow .

It is that I do not want to imagine, as much as last night José Mari said that deep down his colleagues are his friends and that he loves them and they love him, how coexistence with the musician and businessman must have been. I think of a José Mari locked in the kitchen with his wooden spoon, his cauldron, his slugs and his bat wings, preparing the potion to finish off his enemies, while the gargoyles fluttered around him and a green light came out of the cauldron reflecting in his glasses.

José Mari, at the feet of the horses

I see him scheming, preparing the attack for the next program, thinking about how to wear down, how to "malmeter", how to "poison" and how to reduce the strength of others. What about cooking? We didn't even talk about cooking because she had the immunity pin, nor did we talk until last night, when José Mari had no choice but to roll up his sleeves, stain his apron and cook. Yes, cooking, it seems that we had forgotten that this is cooking. It seems that José Mari had forgotten that this is about cooking.

First test of the semifinal, first finalist jacket in play. Luna , attacked; Alberto, excited; Ivan , sticking out his chest; Andy ..., Andy being Andy; Ana, dreaming of being in the grand final; and José Mari , at last, without a pin and facing a first test in which they had to reproduce a Jordi Cruz dish to hold on to the males. I love when Jordi Cruz warns them that it is haute cuisine, but that it can be done, that it is a transition dish. They plant that vegetable broth with spherifications of I don't know how many cheeses and directly I will say goodbye and run away. On top, to top it off, those who would try the set would not be Thursdays but four of the harshest gastronomic critics in the country. They craved the jacket, because they sweat like pigs.

And boy did they sweat! The stoves that fell down their necks were the representation that being in the final of MasterChef 8 was not going to be easy at all. A final in which there will be no final duel, but there will be three applicants who fight for the trophy, the prize and the glory. Yes, for the first time in the talent the final will be three and I will bet that Iván, Ana and Alberto will be the three applicants who will play it. In fact, I dare say that Luna will be the first to fall, Andy the second and that the final will be played among the hardest rooster in the corral, that is, Iván, Ana and Alberto . Because Alberto has to be in that final battle yes or yes. During 16 programs Alberto has not been seen or noble have been seen. His affair with Luna has completely eclipsed him. However, last night he proved that he can and should be a worthy finalist. Hala, I already said it! How comfortable I have been.

But to get to the final next week, you had to pay first for Jordi Cruz's drink . A drink that more than one was going to choke on. Starting with Luna, who really, give her a Tranquimacid before starting because this yoga teacher is like watching an episode of Los autos locos . Mother of beautiful Love! I just don't know how the dishes end. It is chaotic until saying enough, it becomes hysterical, no, the following. It alters itself and alters even the ingredients. The result, catastrophic. Not only did she fail to present three portions in dish conditions, but she also failed to ensure that what she presented, even if she failed to present it in full, had the approval. "Un aguachirri", in the words of Samantha Vallejo-Nágera , which caused a dramatic "shame". We have seldom seen Luna cry, because everything she is nervous about is positive. But last night it ended up coming down, very down, being aware that she had made a dish more typical of a first program than a semifinal.

And the same for José Mari . The immunity pin has not only helped him save himself week after week, but it has also been the perfect hole to hide his limitations. Between the pin and his evil strategy of intimidating his teammates until they fell, almost nobody had realized that José Mari's level was what it was.

A very low level, very low. Without a pin, he had no place to hide. Without pin the cake was discovered. At least Luna managed to present two of the three servings with something on the plate. José Mari directly presented three wines without more and without even having managed to replicate it as that of the ABAC chef. Why? Because José Mari believed himself so good, that he even found himself able to reinterpret the dish as he pleased. What do I forget to add the pumpkin to, since I don't add the soy sauce or the onion or citronella, or anything at all. He already invented a new broth, which equally exceeds that of Jordi Cruz himself . Modest low that goes up José Mari . And look, when it starts it seems like it will do well, but it always reaches a point where weaknesses can no longer be covered. And without immunity pin there is no hole to get into.

Ana, first finalist of MasterChef 8

Food critics did not hesitate to choose the best of all, Ana's . And I applaud with my ears and feet, because Ana took the first jacket of the night means that yes, that the kitchen is the important thing, that MasterChef is still a culinary talent and that the best candidate in the kitchens and not the one that has given the most show. Because Ana to give little show, but to work like the little ant of La cicada and the ant , everything you want and more. Not only has she focused program after program on what she had to focus on, but she has also played no strategy to get where she has come from.

It did not enter the game of whether it was the third in discord or not in the roll Alberto & Luna ; did not get into constant cockfighting; She did not disqualify or punch anyone; She did not enter into confrontations, or fights, or attacks, or anything at all, other than cooking, cooking and cooking. Quiet, without making much noise, smiling even when she wanted to cry. Andy was about to snatch the pass from the final, but Ana is a lot of Ana and, even without making a tasty and weighty broth as it should have been, she almost perfectly replied a more than complicated dish, a dish that having had than to bet on it before starting to prepare it, few would have risked it for it. Well she, well Ana already has the finalist jacket and I can only say bravo!

The next finalist would be decided in the outdoor test. MasterChef 8 traveled to the Soto de Mozanaque in Madrid to honor 36 chefs who, during the pandemic, have fed those who needed it most through the organization of chef José Andrés, Wolrd Central Kitchen . The applicants would be divided into two teams, but only one of them would have a captain, Ana . In fact, it was this one that chose to captain the team made up of Andy and José Mari and leave Luna, Iván and Alberto's team without a captain. According to Andy, who also has poorly concentrated milk, Ana's move was the same as that played by José Mari last week.

Since she already had the jacket and could not go to the elimination test, her decision to captain José Mari and him was to make them fall, while their friends went to the final and they would have to play in the elimination test . "The thief believes that they are all his condition," Ivan snapped , with more reason than a saint. Not much less. In fact, Ana left her horns and soul to take out the cooking and, in addition, the assessment would not be by teams but individually. So whoever wanted to be in the final would be on their own merits and not on strategies.

Jordi Cruz for José Mari's feet

It is true that Ana lost her desire to show that she deserved to be in the final, and she made a mistake when choosing the most complicated dishes on the menu that Eneko Antxa prepared . She opted for a first course that was a two-course achievement and a complicated dessert that had more elaborations than the secrets of an alchemist. But his mistake was not a mistake to end José Mari and Andy , it was a mistake of desire, of desire, of push.

An error that Jordi Cruz corrected when he was aware that the red team was going to be unable to remove the two elaborations of which the plate consisted. And so he let Ana know when he saw that they had only cleaned the crab and they still had to clean the crabs, coat them, dip them in tempura, fry their legs, clean the crab shells and put them in the oven. We have 15 minutes left and they weren't even going to do magic. So, although Ana refused at first, there was no other choice but to listen to the chef and take out only part of the plate, what they had, a more than commendable crab lid.

Ana, who does not like moves at all, the chef's decision completely sank her. She is not much to cry, she prefers to hide behind a smile, but it is her eyes that give her away. She asked Jordi Cruz not to tell her anything, to leave her a bit of space, that she did not give way with a ball. But the chef wanted to make him see that what he had just said was not a quarrel but an advice that had to serve him forever if he wanted to dedicate himself to this. "You have to be realistic. I am not your enemy," Jordi Cruz explained . Ana tried to compose herself, but she was more than touched. And who appeared to sink it deeper into the mud? José Mar i. José Mari , who had done the right thing during cooking, was the one who took it upon himself to eat his ear to make the fall harder. "Well, I think we did arrive. Well, I think we could do both elaborations. Well, I think you have chosen the most complicated dishes. Well, I think that ... well, I think that ..." Well, I think that if I step on you a little more, the jacket won't save you.

And finally, after 16 programs, after many warnings, after many tricks, after much poison, Jordi Cruz stopped his feet. "Every time I go out there, this man comes to eat you the coconut. Right now, in the midst of the crisis, which has blocked me, and you're saying 'no, you have the wrong menu'. You have poisoned Ana I have nothing to prove, but you do Ana, he is heating the coconut and he is subtracting you , and you as a captain have to tell him what you have said to him: 'keep quiet, work and run'. you have to row more at the same pace and not stop the team, " Jordi Cruz snapped after having heard what José Mari was saying to Ana to sink her even more.

But José Mari , as Pepe Rodríguez called him at the time , is the sprinkler. It has an incredible ability to mask all accusations. That if he has not said that, that if at no time did he tell her that he was wrong, that all he wanted was to cheer her up ... You have to have them as Espartero's horse to lie so blatantly to the judge who just heard you perfectly like malmetías. That's how it is and that's how José Mari has been since minute one. Better late than never.

The truth is that none of the equipment worked as it should have. The blue team took the second plate late due to a miscalculation by Iván, who in the end all paid. A lot of "winning horse", but when you dedicate yourself to sending more than controlling what you are doing, things like these happen. Ivan , to elimination; Alberto , to elimination because he did not calculate the beet well nor did he chop it as it should have been chopped for a tartar; and Luna , three quarters of the same, because she spent 120 minutes cooking making only and exclusively 36 soufflé potatoes stuffed with chive mayonnaise. Amazing. Only Ana, who already was, and Andy, who was in charge of making a very complicated dessert and, above all, doing it well were saved. Well deserved, this time yes, the pass to the final of the lawyer. Of course, "the king of desserts", without a doubt. And, of course, José Mari to the elimination test, not before Jordi Cruz had the courage to tell him what we have dreamed of saying so much to him. "Your specialty is cursing and poisoning . " Needless to say more.

The elimination test was again a scary test. Applicants would have to replicate a dessert from de Pol Contreras , pastry chef in El Portal de Echaurren by Francis Paniego . "You have to be organized and methodical. Pinches are the kitchen's worst enemy," the pastry chef warned them. Pinches there was not, but chaos all you want and more. With the exception of Iván and Alberto , who worked well organized and the result was two spectacular desserts, Luna and José Mari were carried away again, one by chaos, and the other by limitations. José Mari longed to have had the pin of immunity to save himself and be in the final.

It would have been very unfair because the level of José Mari , beyond his 'poison', was not to be in a final. It started out quiet and ended up being a disaster. Almost like Luna , with the difference that Luna in her chaos and madness manages to present more than decent dishes. José Mari , no. He got lost in the steps, he didn't know how to make even the ice cream to the minute , and he ended up expelled and with the humility cure that MasterChef 8 should have given him long before. "I have failed," he acknowledged. Yes, it failed, but it failed a long time ago.
