"SORRY, PAGE NOT FOUND"
Probably because urls don't have ellipses in the middle of them.
I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.
This may be better.

If it doesn't work, just Google Graham. He's leaving the Masterchef franchise.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad to see graham depart but I wonder who will replace him.
shareNot a big fan of Christine so I hope it's someone I can enjoy. Is it just me or have they subtly added way more bakery/pastry challenges? I don't like those.
shareI love the baking challenges. Baking is an important part of cooking. Gordon Ramsay started out baking.
Earth without art is just "eh."
Good for him. I don't like the baking challenges but I'm not mad at you because you do.
I bake at home all the time. I make several nice fruit cobblers and pies (am making my usual peach, apple, pineapple cobbler for Christmas), sweet potato pies and assorted cakes and cookies. I personally don't care for the baking challenges. It's just not my preference to watch.
I learn more technique and get more ideas watching the regular food challenges and that's why I prefer them.
That sucks! I really liked Graham ? but at least considering the comments made by fox and Gordon Ramsey at least it seemed an amicable break. I wish the best for him but he will definitely be missed not just from his expertise but how he treated the children.

Did you also notice at the end of the article in the 2nd link that I posted that the franchise will be adding a celebrity Masterchef show? Here is the excerpt.
Earlier today, Fox announced a “MasterChef” celebrity special, which will feature teams, models Gigi Hadid vs. Devon Windsor; “Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s” Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca Crews vs. “The Last Man on Earth’s” Boris Kodjoe and his wife, Nicole Ari Parker; “Empire” stars Kaitlin Doubleday vs. Ta’Rhonda Jones; and “MasterChef” winners Luca Manfe, Christine Ha and Claudia Sandoval vs. Season 4 “MasterChef Junior” contestants Addison, Amaya and Zac.
I doubt it. Ir's Gordon who doesn't like working with celebrities.
Earth without art is just "eh."
A CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF?? That could be a fun one. I'm guessing based on the description it'll be a one shot episode each week as opposed to celebs going away one by one. That works. Food Network tried doing that with "Celeb Cookoff" and tanked. So, good call for this new format for it.
shareI thought it was just a special, not a series.

Just now watching MasterChef Celebrity edition. Not a big fan, would rather watch the kids, but couldn't help but notice a commercial for the upcoming MasterChef Jr. edition in Feb. 2017, complete with an appearance from "first lady michelle obama." I hate to tell the liberal snowflakes of Hollywood, but after Jan. 2017, she will no longer be first lady.
Won't say more than that, but if I get flamed I probably will.
Oh *beep* off. Of course one sack of complete garbage has to throw politics into it. She was a wonderful first lady. I know it's SO HARD for people like you to have any respect. Go jerk off to Trump speeches you *beep* moron.

What do you expect with a president who completely polarized the country and set back race relations 60 years? And, yes, I'm talking about Obama and HIS wife who talked about how she was never proud of her own country until her husband was president. That's a disgraceful attitude to project to our country as our First Lady, so no, I don't think she should be on the show.
shareI will miss him as a judge. Maybe he got tired of the cheesy stuff. In the promo for next week's episode i think they have him dress up as a chicken.
Fraaaank. FRANK! Get my jean bin. Susie wants my jeans.
No she doesnt.
....and an egg or two gets cracked on his head.
----------------------------------------------
He seems to enjoy the cheesy stuff more than the others do, though.
Earth without art is just "eh."
I'm not too surprised. I'll miss him because his critiques(not too harsh, but right on when needed) were the best, in my opinion. However, when you own restaurants, sometimes you need to be there. Not sure how they go about taping both shows, but maybe it's at the wrong times for him.
shareI suspect it may have something to do with all the tasting that goes on. Even after his surgery, he needs to be careful about what he eats in order to maintain his weight, and having to taste all the dishes must be difficult for him.
Earth without art is just "eh."
Yep. THIS ^^ I wondered about the same thing after his surgery. I'm sure he's very, very careful, though.
Here's another article that I found on him from May of this year. I found the last paragraph quite interesting...he was asked where he saw himself in the future.

He is my favorite judge! He is so sweet with the kids. Hate to see him go!
