Once in a generation a creative, slightly mad person moves the foundations of their discipline. For MasterChef that was Nick (season 10). The idea that he would be sent home before the finals for political reasons (white, male, affluent, Harvard student - and therefore cannot be allowed to win) exposes a fault line in what is otherwise a well put together show. I, along with 50% of the audience, didn’t even finish watching the remainder of the final episode of season 10. Who won? Don’t care. The loser was MasterChef.
