Masterchef US Season 5 Review (Mainly Finale)

CAN I JUST SAY WHAT THE

This season man….Can we just have a moment to think about this here? First of all, this finale was crazy. I mean, forget the finale, the whole season was crazy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a season of Masterchef with so much drama or hatred or weirdness.

There was the guy who got eliminated because he plated someone else’s food, that was a huge controversy. Some people thought he cheated, blah blah blah. For the rest of the day I was Amir and everyone who listened to me was Jake.

Or if they talked to me, it was something like this…

It was terrible, because I kinda liked that guy. At least he wasn’t as bad as Courtney. OH COURTNEY. FRIGGIN COURTNEY

My favorites this time? Gotta be Elizabeth and Daniel. Leslie had some sass too, but Elizabeth was the best cook there was this season, and SUCH. A. DIVA. You go girl, you go. Oh, and she never cooked in an elimination. Yet.

Honestly, throughout the whole season, I thought she was gonna win. Heck, I knew she was gonna win. So let’s get straight to the finale part of this extremely biased review.

THE FINALE

So the finalists: Elizabeth (DUH), Leslie (SNAZZ-AY), and Courtney. Sigh. She’s not a bad cook, she’s actually pretty good, but OH MY WORD EVERYONE HATES HER.

Her reaction to getting a huge advantage over the other contestants in an elimination.

So it’s no lie that Courtney sucks. I’m surprised Leslie got this far though. I mean, he was the show’s biggest loser for the first few weeks. So honestly, I just was super confident that Elizabeth was gonna win. Like more confident than I would ever be on a contestant. She literally never lost, never just “survived” a challenge, she won every time. Or was second. Then was first again next week. Duh.

So any who, Elizabeth won the first round. Courtney and Leslie competed in an elimination. Courtney won. Yay.

Then was the finale battle. Man….

This was me to Courtney the whole time:

Let’s get to Elizabeth’s win, right?

There was the entree, appetizer, and dessert rounds. The whole time, no matter how many negative reviews Elizabeth got, I was like “Heck she’s gonna win.”

Her meat’s undercooked? “She’s gonna so win.”

She makes a typical meat in the finale? “She totally got this man.”

SHE BLOWS UP THE FREAKING KITCHEN?! “OOOH ELIZABETH GONNA WIN”

The last one didn’t happen, btw.

I think you know where I’m going with this though. 

Courtney wins.

These gifs can express my face the whole time (I think you can figure out which one’s me and which one’s are the judges.)

In this case, I’m Amir, Jake’s Elizabeth, Sarah’s the trophy, and Courtney’s the friggin lotion.

Not so much this last one though.

So I just let it set in…. then this happens.

Muh fam be like

Then I be like

And that, kids, is how I met this post.

Uh, no.

In case you didn’t know, the gifs I used are all from the College Humor show on YouTube “Jake and Amir”.
