MasterChef Valstrath

MasterChef Valstrath is the Valstrathian version of the competitive cooking reality show MasterChef airing on Fivestar Broadcasting System since the first season.
The series premiered on April 2, 2010
Amateur chefs compete to become the best amateur home cook in Valstrath through challenges issued by judges Eric Jasper, Sheryl Radiatori and Harry Foghat. Pauline Montevaz is the main host.
== Format ==
Amateur chefs were initially selected through auditions, selecting a total of one hundred competitors to the start of the televised competition. In the preliminary rounds, each of these had an opportunity to prepare a signature dish for the trio of judges.
The contestants were given 45 minutes prep their dish, and then given 5 minutes before the three judges to complete the cooking and assembly of the dish, during which the judges ask about their background.
The 3 judges taste the dish, and vote "yes" or "no" to keeping the chef in the competition; 2 "yes" votes are required for the chef to move on and receive a MasterChef apron, while those that fail to do so leave the competition.
Two rounds are then used to trim the number of chefs to 13. One type of challenge has the chefs performing a routine task such as dicing onions, cleaning oysters during which the judges will observe their technique.
Judges can advance a chef to the next round or eliminate them at any time during the challenge by taking their apron. A second type of challenge is to have the chefs invent a new dish around a staple ingredient or a theme, with the judges advancing or eliminating players based on the taste of their dishes.
Subsequently, the formal competition begins typically following a 2-event cycle that takes place over a 2-hour episode, with a chef eliminated after the second event. The events typically are: Mystery Box Challenge, Elimination Test, Team Challenge and Pressure Test.
This cycle continues until only two chefs remain. The judges then select the winner of MasterChef.
