Joe Bastianich is the real bastard on Masterchef. Ramsay just seems to play kind of like the "disappointed father" role.
I remember someone saying that the Michelin Star Ramsay comes out on Hell's Kitchen and the everyday Ramsay is on Masterchef.

That's accurate. Still, when they do certain competitions on MC between the players, Gordon gets a little heated himself as he's trying to 'encourage' people to cook better.

I actually really enjoy watching MasterChef with my wife, but we had completely opposite reactions to this.
Her - "Mini chefs! Awsome!"

I think people might have the wrong impression. I doubt Ramsey will yell at any children in this. The dude has a gigantic soft spot for kids. Kids that love to cook are going to melt him into putty.

Have any UK people seen a US masterchef on any UK channel?
Proper John and Greg master chef is great, but the majority of international knockoffs suck monkey balls - vaguely interested in seeing Gordon Ramsay's take on riding this format into the ground.

As previously discussed, MC Australia is fantastic as is UK. The New Zealand one was SO FUCKING BAD IT MADE MY SCALP BLEED and the wife (MC Addict) didn't like it either. The US one hasn't floated over here yet, since SHE'D KNOW. You should watch Australia, since they have normal and kiddy. Both are really good. Also, Australia has some real hotties in it.

Yeah, he's going to be the softball judge. Joe Bastianich is the real bastard on Masterchef. Ramsay just seems to play kind of like the "disappointed father" role.

Calling Joe a bastard isn't an accurate description of him and his withering methodology. The man doesn't yell, or scream, or get angry like Ramsay does on Hell's Kitchen. He makes simple statements that strike the contestants inadequacies, weaknesses and self-doubts with such laser-like precision that all you can do is feel bad for the poor target while agreeing. The mark of a true son of a bitch.

It's not prime, it's choice. What I always notice is that its the best of choice, well, choice is a single category. There's no best. It's choice.
(I think I watch too much food oriented tv)
BBC America runs Master Chef Professional UK and it's very good. Probably the best series out there. Less drama, more cooking.

I think she's able to disarm competitors more with just her eyes than all of Ramsay's yelling in the US versions of shows.

Yeah, that's driving me up a wall. I've bitched every time this has happened this season. My wife mutes it now if we watch together. "Oh, look, ANOTHER Wal*Mart commercial in the middle of the show. I bet we'll get breathless accolades about the quality of the produce/ meat from one of the chefs in a minute!"

WalMart steaks cost as much as my local butcher's so it must be good right?!

Maybe it's a regional thing, but here in SW FL, you don't buy meat from Wal-Mart. No matter the cut, the age, whatever, it's always stinky, discolored, or both. It's hard not to try and throw-up whenever they promo the Wal Mart meat thing.

It's fucking Wal-Mart - it's not even a grocery store. Why would you buy steaks or anything else there? Then again, when I lived in Cambridge there was a grocery store in Central Square where literally half the food products were open. Like, you walk by a shelf of glass soda six packs and in every single one at least one bottle is missing a cap. Then you go look at milk and a plastic jug of milk has no cap either. I guess what I'm saying is, don't buy your groceries from the grocery store 3 blocks down in Central Square. Or from Wal-Mart.

You must have a pretty swanky Wal-mart in your area. I wouldn't call the food and overall options at my local DFW Wal-mart bad, but it's definitely nothing to brag about. You just can't beat the price, especially since I'm almost always broke.

Yeah walmart isn't high class food but it's on par with any grocery. What's the alternative, whole foods and spend several hundred dollars for a weeks worth of meals?

It probably depends a lot on where you live. I live about a mile down the road from a place that sells fresh everything and my wife and I go in there and come with with a giant bag of fresh food that'll last us 1/2 a week for like 25 bucks. But we live in the midwest, and a lot of it is local.

My daughter cried at the end she felt so bad for the little blonde boy in the last group. Which is understandable, quite a few of them were fucking adorable. But shit, these kids can outcook even some of the adults on the actual MasterChef. Those Macaroons!

I hated that kid and laughed when he got booted off. There's something about that mugging to the camera that's incredibly annoying and left me sure he was an ungodly brat.
