What happens when 2 MasterChef finalists have too much fun?!

Master Chef Runner-up Michael Silverstein is here to tell what it’s like behind the scenes of MasterChef, season 12! Two people from the MasterChef Runner’s Up Club, Derrick Fox, and Michael Silverstein, discuss how things that happen OFF camera in the hotel are even more interesting, the secret point system to determine who would be going home, and more.
Michael Silverstein also talks about how reality TV shows can often simplify people’s personalities into boxes, and why he believes certain nuances of him didn’t matter to the story that they were telling.

I like how now Michael is kinda in the middle of the claudia-derrick feud since he also did a podcast with her.

[@damianwhisker4119]

I've got to say that I really loved this podcast. Seeing you guys let loose a little is refreshing. Love hearing all the behind the scenes stuff. I'm rooting for both of you in your culinary journey.

[@Hiyaitsjustme]

My wife and I ABSOLUTEY HATE double eliminations. It is the most unfair aspect of the show to us.

[@Kenobi_Cowboy]

Even just this past season with some of the tricky competitions that had nothing to do with individual talent. Cringe-worthy eliminations but at least it got these two together as battle buddies.

[@claudiawalsh5956]

Btw... thank you! Mark and I are extremely lucky to have tasted your cuisine! Aaaaah effing MAZING!!!!!

[@RafiyaShaikhrafiya]

The argument at 52 min makes me wonder if Michael is a realist and Derrick a dreamer

[@spec0714]

Man, watching this just makes me really really question how much I've liked MasterChef, so wild what goes on BTS and how it's pretty blatant cheating going on 🤔 I really appreciate this podcast Derrick! You are amazing, and thanks for enriching us with all this knowledge!

[@traceb2101]

Can you get someone like Reynold Poernomo from MC AU on your podcast? You guys seem to have a similar style. You two are probably the top 2 contestants who's fans keep saying you guys were robbed. You two also seemed like the guys who wanted it the most. It hurt seeing you guys eliminations.

[@traceb2101]

Not shaming derrick, but he did kinda complain a lot to. Although that's mostly in-show and this podcast

[@ivyselbor4847]

I think Mike is so cool you should have him more often.

[@rachel-roseliu5810]

Love this and when you said that you're getting views more on the MasterChef stuff, Would you be able to get people from like Hell's kitchen or chopped or other food Network shows?

[@RafiyaShaikhrafiya]

Please make a video of you cooking that exact moon appetizer, Derrick!

[@jocelynjaggers700]

I love the growing bromance with you guys! Lmao😅 cheers 🥃

[@Kenobi_Cowboy]

Adding "fuck-it juice" to my lexicon. Who knew this was such an educational pairing? May the strength of your bromance propel you both to more amazing things together.

[@traceb2101]

If you watched masterchef australia back to win, they gave them enough to to do stuff which made an amazing show with amazing dishes. When they did a time pressure challenge, that's when everyone screwed up. So what derrick did say is kinda right.

[@RaymondCarver-vy9uk]

I watched season one of Masterchef Australia recently. It took a while to finish since there were so many episodes, but what I liked is that the drama was minimal, and nobody was trying to sabatage the other. But you could see that people wanted to win and were competitive.

[@tootlesss]

1 hr and 35 Min of Derrick bragging about how great he is and shit talking Christian 😂

[@abunchofloserswithderrickfox]

Lol that’s only part 1 …. There is a whole other part 2 😂😂😂

[@lalalalalala1885]

Can you get Amanda on the podcast?

[@Suscription]

Come to Plano, I live smack dead in the center of it! Would love to meet you bro.

[@warriorwoman91]

lol Derrick eying the camera 51:47

[@abunchofloserswithderrickfox]

💀💀💀

[@nieshamccoy9419]

This is my thing with Michael's comment about cooking shows. If he felt that way, why did he go back. Ahran from season 5 was asked but she said no. She didn't want to deal with the drama

[@abunchofloserswithderrickfox]

He’s got cook books to sell.

[@nieshamccoy9419]

@@abunchofloserswithderrickfox Thanks for responding. I got you

[@traceb2101]

Derrick, what did you guys think about the change of format with the tastings

[@lalalalalala1885]

Derrick, would you ever go back on masterchef? Like a third time's the charm type or a masterchef competition filled with rhe best contestants around the world. It's just that I watched the AU version and it really seems like a derrick-type territory.

[@cassandral5349]

Liking and commenting for the algorithm. Love watching you guys get tipsy and spill the tea 🫖 I love Michael even more now. Imo it was a producer-driven fluke that Christian made it to the finale. He had no chance because he’s uncreative, and I thought he was an obnoxious jerk in season 12.

[@raflim]

Where’s the trilogy!!!!????

[@lalalalalala1885]

Since you mentioned reality show stuff, can you get someone who wasn't seen positively in masterchef. I'd like to see their perspective and if they really acted badly or was it producer-driven?

[@ml890324]

Cutter lol

[@gleepot]

this would be awesome

[@ann-majellamckelvie387]

I’d love to see Krissi and Leslie on the podcast

[@gleepot]

@@ann-majellamckelvie387 they would be great. Christian from season 2 would be my pick.

[@abunchofloserswithderrickfox]

Believe me!!! We are trying!

[@lexsmith3065]

I know I am so behind on what happened but I am so frustrated with the way you got eliminated. I literally stopped watching after you were gone cause I felt like you were gonna win, your plates were absolutely amazing. Just sucks a team challenge did it… even Ramsey knew. To the network it’s just a show but to the cooks it’s a life changing experience hung by a thread. Crazy man.

[@claudiawalsh5956]

You know, now that I think about it, maybe this is why she unfriended me at Facebook. I remember way before I met you, I friended her when she won, because you know, Latinas and all and I did believe she was bad ass. Loved you and wanted you to win but I was supportive to being latina more than anything. If I knew all that you're saying now, I wouldn't have followed her. But anyway, I noticed that we are not friends on Facebook, and in hindsight, she saw how much I was rooting for you when as well and then I met you and shared news and pictures about you.. . Man, that's just low and sad if this is why she un friended me. Wow!!!! Well, who cares, you're a bad ass and you ROCK!!!! We all know you're a winner.

[@the-boy-of-a-thousand-names]

Why DID they make Nick re-pick that team?

[@noidreamers]

Oh yes I agree with this whole "representation". You're good, then you're there.

[@ninjahawk6434]

After watching this ... i feel like a mislead fan of the show. the whole 11 seasons are scripted.
