Christine Ha and Becky Reams learn how to cook sea urchin in tonight's episode of MASTERCHEF.

MasterChef... While the season finale is still weeks away (although the episode was taped months ago), I'm rooting for Christine Ha and Becky Reams to finish as the last two finalists. Christine taking the top prize—her own cooking book plus a check for $250,000—would definitely be an inspiration to aspiring chefs everywhere...particularly those with some type of physical disability. (Ha is visually impaired.) Becky becoming this year's MasterChef would be awesome because she exudes such great confidence cooking in almost every challenge, mystery box or otherwise, that Chef Gordon Ramsay and company present to her. That, and Becky is pretty hot. Hey— You know it, I know it, and the MasterChef camera guys and video editors know it too.

If there's one reason why I don’t think Becky will become MasterChef, however, it's because she’s very similar to Season 1 winner Whitney Miller and Season 2 top four finalist Suzy Singh in that their strengths lie in cooking dessert and other pastries. (Whitney was known as the "pastry princess" in the first season, Suzy was called the "pastry girl" last year, and Becky was called the "dessert girl" in an episode that aired a few weeks ago.) That, and they're all cute brunettes. Damn it— There I go again. If Becky does end up as the winner of Season 3, I hope she doesn't get creeped out by this androgen-inspired journal entry. (Assuming she reads this, of course. No reason Becky wouldn't... Nothing stays hidden on the Internet for long, haha.) I wouldn't mind attending a cooking demo by her the same way I attended a demo by Whitney in Anaheim almost two years ago. Why yes, I will keep mentioning that in future MasterChef-related Blog entries. That is all.

    The summer season is nearing the end in a few months and things are really heating up on the reality cooking shows. I love MasterChef because I don’t have to see Ramsay yelling all the time. I also like seeing Christine do so well on the show what an inspiration she is to my kids and Dish co-worker, who is sight impaired. We also love that now we can watch more shows in one evening too because we can watch commercial free with Auto Hop on my PrimeTime Anytime recordings. That means I get more of what I enjoy, TV shows, not commercials.
