Talk:MasterChef (American TV series) season 4

CW?

I wonder what's up with the CWs and why are some people rated higher than others are? Like them being in Top 5 instead of Top 9? 176.109.57.119 (talk) 18:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Can I just add, what the hell is the use of that in the summary table? It's confusing and doesn't really add anything benefitial to this section. I don't know who came up with this idea, and I really feel like removing this whole CW column, but I wanna know if people actually think it's a good idea or not. ─ Fabzzz _talk 04:48, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I was just wondering why it was there too, it seems like trivial information that really isn't needed. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 15:35, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

The fact that there is now a board dedicated only for that is just beyond me. It's plain useless, why bother? ─ Fabzzz _talk 05:52, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm for removing it. It looks like it is ranking the cooks' ability based on "wins"- ie who is best cook...if this is the case it is very skewed...only the personal wins should count, not the team wins, since individual performance in team wins may have been terrible and a total fail so not an indication of their true abilities as a cook as it seems to imply.

So, what are we waiting for : ) ─ Fabzzz _talk 01:28, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

I concur. The "cumulative wins" section is extraneous and pointless. I'm all for its removal, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.59.57 (talk) 19:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

So I removed it on all 4 seasons [because yes, it was there on all 4 seasons]. If anyone wants to argue or debate it, do it here instead of doing an edit war. Thanks : ) ─ Fabzzz _talk 04:00, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Cumulative Wins Table

Hi, I actually liked the cum. wins table. I thought it gave a good summary of how a cook has fared in all challenges in comparison to others. Seeing the elimination table can be a little jarring since there are so many abbreviations there. If anything, the cumulative wins should have had an individual wins column and team wins column to differentiate between the two instead of being removed completely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.163.83 (talk) 14:25, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Professional models/actors hired?

I was wondering if some mention of the real professions of the Masterchef contestants?

Bri is not a "stage assistant", but is a professional model/actor/dancer: http://www.starnow.com/brikozior

Jessie is not a "yacht stewardess", she is a professional model (and a runner up for Miss Grorgia): http://amtagency.com/display/jessie-lysiak/

Now, I am unsure if simply adding these references and their professions as models on the page would qualify as OR, as it would simply be stating what they have on their original professional pages.

However, there are few reliable sources that reference the fact that these professionals are being presented on the show as "amateur chefs".

So, would this be OR, or would stating "XXX is a professional model" and citing their agency pages be acceptable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.35.153 (talk) 01:37, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
