It's so easy to get into a season of Masterchef. The contestants this season are quite interesting. Aside from the squabbles and on-going, albeit quiet, rivalries, the drama is pretty much controlled. I'm cheering for some contestants, and am excited to find out who will win this year's title!

"MasterChef: Season 4" is just as irreverent as many fans of this show would expect: Some thoughtful and entertaining episodes and a close look at one of the best arts in recent memory.
