Ben Nikpour - Week 11: MasterChef

    One of my most popular blog topics has been movie and show critiques. As this is our last blog post, I thought I should connect back to my former blogs by writing one more show review. 

    Recently, I have been watching MasterChef. For anyone who doesn't know, MasterChef is a show where a group of talented home cooks competes in a series of cookoffs till one contestant is crowned the MasterChef. This show reminds me of Survivor, just in a cooking way. The show is entertaining and funny as Chef Gordon Ramsey screams at the contenders. In the past few days, I have watched more than two seasons of the show, which took me a while as each season has around 20 episodes that are one hour long.

    I watched seasons 7 and 8, and now I am watching season 9. I built a connection with many of the contestants as I do for most reality competition shows. Unfortunately, in both seasons, the person I was rooting for lost. So far, I have not been enjoying season 9 as much because I have not built any connections to the competitors, but I thought the same when I started season 8.

    MasterChef has made me want to become a chef. The people on the show are just so talented and make cooking seem like fun and interesting art. While the show has inspired me to learn to cook, I am not expecting a future in the cooking industry as I can't even boil water. 

    The show is definitely one to consider watching. It is the perfect show to watch in your spare time or while you are doing something else like homework. I am actually watching the show right now!


    Have you watched, or would you consider watching MasterChef?

    I have never watched MasterChef, but I've heard from multiple people that it is a good show. I used to love baking when I was younger, but I don't know the first thing about cooking. Perhaps I'll try watching the show and maybe start cooking!

    I have watched the Israeli version of Masterchef but I have never watched the American version. When I visit Israel, I'm not a big fan of the TV over there so I watch a lot of reality TV shows and cooking shows such as Israeli Survivor, Ninja Israel and of course, MasterChef. For me, it's so entertaining to see people cooking amazing things under extreme pressure and honestly, I wish I could do that too.

    I actually have never watched MasterChef, which is kind of surprising because I love shows like this. Cooking shows like this have always been so entertaining to me for some reason, but I never got around to watching MasterChef. Maybe one day I'll watch it.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
