On MasterChef Canada, amateur, non-professional homecooks are given the opportunity to compete in a series of challenges to win a trophy, a $100,000 CAD cash prize, and the title of MasterChef Canada. Each season generally begins with a larger group of finalists invited to compete in an initial challenge or series of challenges in order to win a white apron and a spot in the primary stages of the competition. Alvin Leung, Claudio Aprile and Michael Bonancini have served as the series' judges for the entire series.[2]

In the first two seasons of MasterChef Canada, fifty contestants[5][6] were given the opportunity to prepare and present their signature dish to judges, where a "yes" vote (concerning whether a contestant's dish is worthy of the judges' approval) from at least two of the three judges was required in order to win the coveted apron. Those who were successful were then presented with an additional challenge to determine which contestants deserved a spot in the Top 16; over a third of the apron-winners were eliminated at that stage. The third season featured a twist on the original auditioning format, in that three "yes" votes were required to win an apron, while three "no" votes eliminated a hopeful homecook, and a second chance battle between those with one or two "yes" votes was then held to determine the remaining competitors who would advance to a Top 14.[7][8][9] Seasons four, five and six simplified the audition process by facing slightly smaller groups of contestants (eighteen to twenty-four finalists) with more specific, concentrated challenges with only twelve aprons up for grabs.[10][11][12][13][14]

With exceptions to the rule, the primary phase of the competition on MasterChef Canada involved a two-episode cycle, in which two challenges were held in an episode; the former challenge would grant immunity and/or advantage(s) to one or more competitiors, and the latter challenge would result in at least one competitors being permanently eliminated from the competition. This cycle of challenges would be repeated until a small number of homecooks remain, usually three or four, in which each season holds a unique series of semifinalist challenges before a final two (or three) competitors are named. The main two-episode cycle's challenges generally consist of:

After a final two (or three) competitors are determined through a unique-to-each-season semifinalist challenge sequence, the finalists are given their final challenge: they will compete head-to-head in a three-hour, three-course (appetizer, entre, dessert) final challenge while friends, family and former competitors spectate and cheer them on. Each course is judged privately by the judges; in some seasons, the finalists are required to cook each course back-to-back without rest. After all of the courses have been sampled, and the judges have deliberated, a winner is eventually crowned - the winner receives a trophy, a $100,000 CAD cash prize, and the title of MasterChef Canada.

The first and inaugural season of the Canadian competitive reality television series MasterChef Canada, featuring Michael Bonacini, Alvin Leung and Claudio Aprile premiered on CTV on January 20, 2014, and concluded on April 28 with Chinese-Canadian chemical engineering university student Eric Chong named the winner. Filming commenced in September 2013 and wrapped up in November 2013. At the age of 21, Eric was the youngest winner of MasterChef Canada at the time of his victory, a record he held the record until Beccy Stables became the champion of the show's fifth season at age 19.

After his victory, Chong partnered up with Chef Alvin Leung to open up Rebel and Demon "R&D" Restaurant located in Spadina, Toronto, specializing in East Asian cuisine; the restaurant was promotionally featured in a restaurant takeover in the third season. Chong also guest starred in an episode of the second season and the fifth season, and appeared in the show's MasterChef Canada: All-Star Family Edition 2016 holiday special, where his team was the first one eliminated.[1]

I love this season. This is the first MasterChef I watched that is not from the US, but was in Canada, another North American country. Eric Chong deserved that win. He had some highs and lows. He could be inconsistent at some challenges. In terms of consistency, I think Marida and Tammara outperformed both of the younger cooks(Eric and Kaila). But overall, he's a talented cook.

There are contestants that I love and contestants I hate. The one I love is Eric. The one I hated the most is Dale. I'm happy that Dale got eliminated. He deserved that. He's basically Ryan and Jeff combined into one. He lost a team challenge as a team captain, and he decided to save himself and Danny. That is so unfair. Danny didn't even participate in the team challenge, and then Dale saved him over someone who worked hard for it. He's so selfish. He's literally the biggest villain in this season. As other contestants said, the captain goes down with the ship. I also hated Julie. She's one of the first DLCs I've seen in MasterChef history, and she's really mean to people. She could have gone home instead of Danielle. I don't like Kaila, but I don't hate her though. She may be a good cook, but a bad leader and also inconsistent. She had highs and lows, but still, Eric takes the edge over Kaila. Well, most of the girls cry during competition, and Kaila is one of them.

Now I have been a long time fan of the Masterchef franchise. Even before it came to Canada I was addicted to watching the U.S. version of Masterchef with Gordon Ramsay. Week after week seeing home cooks showcase their craft and put out restaurant quality dishes in the matter of 60 minutes was just incredible and inspiring to watch. When Canada finally got the opportunity to showcase our own talent five years ago with our own version of the show I was beyond excited. There's not a single episode from the start of the first season that I've not watched, so when I got an email asking if I was interested in being a part of the show this season I almost fell out of my chair. OF COURSE I DO!

I'll be lying though if this idea of bringing on foodies/social media influencers to the show never crossed my mind before. In fact I remember on several occasions telling my friends that I was surprised they never explored this yet in the past 5 seasons (and even in the U.S. version it's never happened before). Every other week on Masterchef Canada there is a team episode where the remaining competitors are normally split up into two groups to go head-to-head in a cooking challenge and put out the best food to feed a certain group of individuals. They've cooked for people like life guards, dog owners, construction workers, the Canadian Forces, acrobats, and even for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but never to foodies... until now. So whichever TV producer read my mind out there 5 years later.... thank you for including us!

The day started back in November where we were instructed to drive to their secret studio location in Mississauga, Ontario to do the filming. At this point in time we had no idea which episode we were going to be part of, and since the fifth season hasn't actually aired yet we didn't know any of the remaining chefs that would be cooking for us. We were advised to not wear any logos or tightly-patterned clothing and also undershirts was recommended as it would help apparently being mic-ed up! My initial thought was that they would not allow us to bring our cameras with us during the filming of the episode, but to my surprise they actually encouraged us to do so. This episode was going to be them filming us in our natural element for the entire country to see, so my motto of "The Camera Eats First. Always" will be depicted front and centre.

As we checked into the studio that afternoon one-by-one there was a producer who looked at our outfits to see what we wore. If it was too wrinkly they asked us to take it off where they would iron it out for us on site. Wardrobe was serious business. One-by-one we each got mic-ed up and signed a non-disclosure agreement. As all of this was happening the producers came out to introduce themselves and provide an overview for the day. We learned that we would be part of the second last episode of the fifth season where the top three remaining home cooks remained which include Andy Hay (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia), Beccy Stables (Sherwood Park, Alberta), and Michael Griffiths (Richmond Hill, Ontario). The top three would each launch their own pop-up restaurant in the studio, and the thirty of us would be divided into three groups to dine at each of their restaurants.

Finally at my designated table I find myself at Michael G's Pop-Up restaurant. At the time I had no idea who he was, but since watching this season so far I've been rooting for him to win ever since. Right behind me was the Masterchef Stage where the three judges Claudio Aprile, Alvin Leung, and Michael Bonacini were in the middle of filming themselves and encouraging the home cooks to put the final touches to their dishes in the remaining few minutes. 2351a5e196
