1-12 Weecap	Head-to-Head-to-Head-to-Head Finale, Part One - Before we can get to the finals, we've got two wannabe-chefs too many.

1-11 Weecap	The Soufflé Also Rises Six Chefs Compete, Part Two - The remaining would-be chefs must catch and prepare fish for a trio of food critics who radiate disinterest at the entire proposition.

1-10 Weecap	Oh Deer Six Chefs Compete - The would-be chefs try their hand at cooking venison before an elimination challenge forces them to prepare dessert. Boy, you can really taste the salmonella in this dish!	09.08.2010 09.09.2010	B-	Mr. Sobell

1-8 Weecap	The Great Crab Massacre of '10 9 Chefs Compete - How many crabs must give their lives in order to determine who moves on in the contest to find America's first MasterChef? Nine, apparently. And how many contestants must face a similar slaughter at the hands of the judges? Just one will do quite nicely, thanks.	09.01.2010 09.02.2010	B	Mr. Sobell
1-7 Weecap	Eat Where the Truckers Eat 11 Chefs Compete, Part Two - We've got a big ol' convoy rockin' through the night -- and they all want burgers. But when one team fails to win over enough truckers with their cooking, it's time for another Name the Ingredient challenge. A hat-wearing contestant goes home, though probably not the hat-wearing guy you're thinking of.	08.25.2010 08.26.2010	B-	Mr. Sobell
1-6 Weecap	Go Fish 11 Chefs Compete - After a cupcake challenge that proves as unfulfilling as eating an actual cupcake, the chef wannabes are introduced to actual Iron Chef Cat Cora.

1-5 Weecap	War is Hell's Kitchen 12 Chefs Compete - The remaining amateur chefs are divided into teams and tasked with cooking a meal for U.S. Marines at Camp Pendleton. After one team honors our fighting men and women by not giving them enough to eat, team members are pitted against one another in an elimination challenge that forces them to identify the ingredients in a bowl of chili. Hint: The secret ingredient is the loser's tears.	08.18.2010 08.19.2010	B	Mr. Sobell
1-4 Weecap	Orange You Glad I Didn't Pick Mushrooms? 14 Chefs Compete - You know what the trouble is with eating food in a Chinese cooking challenge on a reality TV show? Half-an-hour later, you just want to eliminate another chef again.	08.18.2010 08.19.2010	B-	Mr. Sobell
1-3 Weecap	One Egg to Rule Them All Top 14 - You know that old saying about too many chefs spoiling the pot? Well, too many chefs really spoil reality cooking competitions. So Gordon Ramsay and company decided to slash the field in half with the same precision the amateur chefs use to chop up onions in the first of two elimination competitions to whittle the field down to 14.	08.10.2010 08.11.2010	B-	Mr. Sobell
1-2 Weecap	Leftovers? Again? Auditions #2 - Hey, remember when your mom would whip you up a passable meatloaf and then like, two days later, she'd serve you up meatloaf surprise or meatloaf sandwiches or meatloaf served three ways, but no matter what she called it, it was still the same old meatloaf you had eaten previously? That pretty much describes Episode No. 2 of MasterChef, which features new contestants doing the same auditions and shedding the same amount of tears. Hope you folks like meatloaf.	08.03.2010 08.04.2010	C+	Mr. Sobell

A veritable prix fixe menu of tears. Bon appetit.	07.27.2010 07.28.2010	B	Mr. Sobell
