Avery clearly should have been the winner. And even before that Zac should have made the final 2.
They just pick the winner they want. Just like how they chose that dumb stripper to be the winner a few seasons back.
A blind man could see there was going to be no other winner than Addison from midseason. I just was curious to see how they were going to get rid of all those better chefs in order to make that happen.
Kudos to the writers and to Addison for pulling it off. She is a very good chef but an even better game player. :)
I noticed several episodes in that Addison was singled out time and again. And there were a couple weeks where her dish was less than perfect, but another kid got eliminated and the judges let her squeak by.
I don't get it. Even if they wanted a girl to win for whatever PC reason exists, there were other more talented girls.
Kya was the best of the girls with Avery coming in for a top spot with consistently good dishes each week. Even Kaitlyn performed better each week than Addison with the exception of "cupcake" week.
The only thing that would've made less sense than Addision winning it would be if Amaya had won it.
Fraaaank. FRANK! Get my jean bin. Susie wants my jeans.
No she doesnt.
> I don't get it. Even if they wanted a girl to win for whatever PC reason exists, there were other more talented girls.
It's the Honey Boo-Boo effect. She got that Southern outspokenness and charm and makes people laugh. Plus, she has just the right touch of sympathy; people just know that she's going to have a hard life ahead of her so they are happy to see her do well now.

How do we know Addison is going to have a hard life? That seems like such a random thing to say about a 9 Year old child. Especially one, we only know through the magic of TV editing.
share> How do we know Addison is going to have a hard life?
Obviously, any prediction of the future cannot be said the be 100% accurate until the future has come to pass. Thanks for stating the obvious.
But, I think we can tell that she will have a hard life. The highlight of her life will be her Masterchef Junior trophy. It's all downhill from there.
What's Honey Boo-Boo up to these days? Is she pregnant or in jail yet, like the rest of her family?

Hi at bing 57, I wasn't trying to be snarky or sarcastic, I'm sorry if it read that way. I was truly curios why you felt Addison was going to have a hard life and now, how we know it's all down hill.
I'm not getting the Honey Boo Boo comparison, beyond you thinking Addison must somewhat physically resemble the other child.
I'm not trying to defend her win. I wasn't there, I didn't taste the food. I can only go by what we were shown,once again, on a heavily edited reality show.
To say that a child has peaked at the age of 9 and make the dire prediction of a hard life and it's all downhill from here, I thought you knew additional info from news articles or perhaps something I missed as a viewer.
> To say that a child has peaked at the age of 9 and make the dire prediction of a hard life and it's all downhill from here, I thought you knew additional info
I know nothing more than I've seen on the show. But, I have known an incredible number of people where a childhood success is the peak of their life. You know them, they were the head cheerleader or the captain of the football team or the spelling bee champion.
And think about Addison. She's 9 years old. She won Masterchef and the producers will write a cookbook and put her face on it. She'll appear on a FOX morning show and maybe have a cameo on the next Masterchef, but that's about the end of the road. She's not going to step into a professional kitchen anytime soon.
She'll go back to school for the next ten years and by the time she is old enough to work as a chef, her interests in life may be completely different. Life changes a lot in ten years.

You're still yet to state what exactly makes you think Addison will fall on difficult times in the future, either back up your ridiculous statements, or crawl back into your shell and stop saying nonsensical things.
shareSounds like you're jealous of her, if anything. She has $100k and I'm sure it will be used wisely, she may end up with that bakery she spoke of, but it's entirely possible that she'll move on to something other than cooking, her father said she was very competitive, so she's the type of person to try a bunch of different things and try to be good at them all; cooking, sports, etc.
Therein lies a massive difference between her and Honey Boo Boo which you have clearly overlooked in your absurd ignorance, she is a very motivated young girl, a person like that grabs life by the nads and gives it their best shot, unless some sort of trauma occurs in her life and her personality makes drastic changes, but that isn't the likeliest of probabilities.
Unless you mean "a hard life" in the general sense, which would be a moot point, since life is hard, so we all technically have "a hard life" ahead of us, thanks for stating the obvious.
I think Kaitlyn was eliminated more because she didn't heed Gordon's instructions. When he asked her what she was making, he told her -exactly- how to make it. When he asked if she was using those ingredients, she said no. The he said, so just a chocolate cupcake? How much more could he have said, without straight out telling her the cupcake,as she was preparing it would get her eliminated.
As for Kya being the best girl, we have no way to know that,from a heavily edited show. The judges overplayed their hand with Kya praise trying to ensure viewership. I saw plenty of slips on Kya's part, that were never commented upon. Perhaps she is a child prodigy of the culinary world, but I wouldn't base my opinion upon a reality show competition.
PS I'm wondering which season of Masterchef Jr. was won by a stripper, as mentioned in the OP.
It's pretty obvious Addison was shown favoritism when she made the same mistakes as Kaitlyn but with worse execution and yet was spared the same criticism and even saved when she performed worse.
I think if anything Kya was under-rated by the judges. She was easily heads and tails above the rest of the cast which was obvious even with the heavy-handed editing to make the rest of the kids seem on par.
Which season of Junior was won by a stripper?!? If you have to go there probably Season 4 after Honey Boo Boo's parents have blown through the prize money and she'll more likely earn a living doing that than anything to do with culinary, that's for sure.
Ok, first of all, in reference to the last thing you said, I can only take that as you venting some sort of pedophile fantasy and surely you can't expect to be taken seriously when saying such stupid and vile things.
Now onto the actual valid points you made:
Yes, Kaitlyn was indeed talented, but she was nowhere near the level Addison was at, and if you hadn't chosen to dislike Addison from the start, you would have noticed that obvious fact.
As for Kya, she was the closest to Addison's skill level and she should have been in the finale, which would have happened if it weren't for that stupid team challenge where she was kicked off simply for being next to JJ the neanderthal. Kids like JJ and Amaya should have been nowhere near that stage of the competition, they shouldn't have even made it to the top 10, so for someone like Amaya to beat Kya, it unfortunately makes the show look like a bit of a joke.
In a finale between Kya and Addison(the 2 most talented chefs in the competition which is obvious to anyone with at least 3 functioning brain cells), it would have been anyone's game, so who knows what would have happened, but still, at least 1 of the 2 best ended up winning, that was nice to see and doesn't happen often in reality television.
Lighten up. If you read the post I was replying to you would know it was a sarcastic answer to a stupid question. And no one gives a crap what you do or you don't take seriously lol.
Wrong about Kaitlyn and wrong with your clueless ASSumption that I "dislike Addison from the start". Just because you're in love with a 9 year-old doesn't make her a good cook. Kaitlyn, Zac, Avery and Sam were all better than her.
Agree about Kya and the team challenge.
What set Addison apart was her Disney Channel-ready "persona" and ability to deliver obvious lines fed to her and total lack of humility and respect for the other kids when declaring herself "awesome" and "the best kid baker". Even that wasn't true when Sam could bake circles around her and did.
Seems like the producers and network were more concerned with the media tour after the finale and finding a "face" to represent the show than actually determining who was the best young chef in the competition.
It's blown up in their face as Addison is the most reviled "winner" in the history of the show and her "win" had utterly destroyed the format's reputation and credibility.
Seems I struck a nerve, maybe you're the one that needs to lighten up, kid.
Your favourites didn't win, boo hoo, but the best chef did win, so your crying and whining is pointless. It's done, it's over, 3 professional chefs made the choice, not you, and I'm very thankful for that fact because clearly you don't have a clue.
No lol, I mean the ADULT version of Masterchef.
Courtney Lapresi - season 5 of Masterchef.
Thank you for the clarification, I was befuddled how a reference to a stripper winning, came to be mixed up with MCJ. I've only watched one season of adult MC adult. The most recent and I felt it was skewed somewhat to "get" the winner they wanted.
Am currently watching the newest season of Hell's Kitchen and feel some real paring down needs to happen, before contestants begin to shine.
She was the best chef there, she rightfully won.
shareOh I didn't know you were there? Secret 4th judge? You tried all the dishes did you?
shareBecause of course parents would allow their children to participate in a show that's illegally rigged, and do themselves out of a chance at a hundred grand.
Earth without art is just "eh."
[deleted]
They are confirmed actors. Kya has her own IMDb page.
shareThey have to be actors to appear on TV. That doesn't mean squat.
Literally anyone can have a page on IMDb. This guy's got one: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0386944/?ref_=nv_sr_1 I doubt that means that HIS contest was rigged.
Earth without art is just "eh."
Hahahaha, yes, Kya does seem to be an aspiring actress, does that mean she can't also be an aspiring chef? Her having an IMDB page reflects nothing on the validity of her involvement in the show as a true contestant.
shareNo, they picked the winner that deserved to win. Zach was never a match for those 2 girls, even Kya and Kaitlyn were better cooks than him. He was the best of the male contestants, but that's about it.
You either think Avery should have won because she was your favourite or because of the obvious way they edited the finale to make the judges look like they were swinging in Avery's favour, but it was a trick to put you off the right track, so it made the reveal of the winner such a surprise for most viewers, except for more intelligent viewers that saw exactly what they were doing and knew Addison was going to win no matter how they edited it.
Not to mention this competition should really be judged based on the overall performance of both contestants throughout the entire season, instead of just 3 dishes they make in the finale. If Avery had won, it would have been ridiculous anyway, because it was clear throughout the whole season that Addison was more talented. She was also more determined and resilient, with good leadership qualities to boot, those traits are almost essential in a kitchen environment.
It's nice to finally watch a reality show where the most deserving and talented contestant won.
Well obviously if they didn't the choose the winner you wanted, then it must be rigged
shareZac was eliminated because Addison stuck him with the pig's ear while she chose an easy dish for herself that she could probably make in her sleep. I get that this was strategic, but it just shows she's canny and has nothing to do with cooking ability. Also, Zac did much more than "present Gordon with a salad." It was a salad constructed beautifully, the only flaw being inadequate cooking of the ear. I doubt any of those kids would have done better with a challenge like that.
