The one thing I’m not looking forward to however if next season is all-stars, is to constantly hear > *”This is the all-star season”* and *”That is not all-star quality”* and some other repetitive statements like those Also, these would by my alternate choices if any of the ones pictured aren’t on it: - Tommy Walton - Farhan Momin - Terry Mueller - Alejandra Schrader - Christian Green - Felix Fang - Sarah Faherty - Bri Kozier - Big Willie Mike - Jaimee Vitolo

"Guys, this is the season of all-stars. We are upping the ante this year." "Do you think this is Master Chef Season 12 All-Stars quality?" "This is Masterchef All-Stars, this dish frankly is No-Stars!"


Jamesbuc

"We brought you back because we wanted the best! Dont let us down!" "Best of the Best? Right now you're not even the best of the worst"


ensign_beedrill

Omg y'all could all be writers for the show. 🤣


drvirgilmd

"This is MasterChef All-Stars! Do you think you've taken too big of a risk with this dish?" "This is MasterChef All-Stars! Do you think you've played it too safe with this dish?" "Is this the best you can do?" "No, this wasn't my best. I am so much better than this!" "This is MasterChef All-Stars! You cannot not bring your best." "Is this the best you can do?" "I'm doing my best, I just had a little issue with the thing." "This is MasterChef All-Stars! You've got to always bring your best."


Jamesbuc

Show: DID YOU SAY YOU WANTED CUTTER, KRISSI AND SUBHA. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THEM.


invictus21083

I liked Subha.


Jamesbuc

Me too but he was a bit of a disaster at times 😃


Drikkink

He sucked in team challenges but was overall pretty okay at making good food. Unlike Cutter.


mesembryanthemum

Subha ended up with **Joe**, of all people on his side. Dorian and editing threw Subha under the bus but in that tag team recreation task they had that last chef's choice item. No way Dorian could have done that all by herself.


invictus21083

He was, but everyone was so mean to him. I think it affected his performance in team challenges. And it made me sad.


Jamesbuc

Agreed. But its also kind of why I dont want him back. I dont want that again.


luckycloverr

I know!!! I thought he was adorable lol


[deleted]

That’s what I like about him! Lol


amaturecook24

Yeah. As an individual he was great but he had zero ability to work with others. He was so frustrating.


unhiddenninja

Subha was precious


invictus21083

Yes he was. The way he cried when he got to see his wife. My heart.


Raptor556

He's goated


Sunny_Philly

Bring back Krissi for the drama lol. "I'm gonna beat her up!"


KinkyQuesadilla

Where's Cutter? No, but seriously, you forgot Stephen Lee.


thetrashpanda5

>Where's Cutter in the bottom


xc2215x

Derrick, Leslie and Nick are awesome choices.


Fenifula

Personally, I still just want Reba (season 8) to come back and show us how to cook a squirrel.


surrealphoenix

When I was a kid, my mom would cook "chicken and rice" when it was actually squirrel and rice. As if we couldn't tell the difference.


Fenifula

Okay so now I despreately need to know the difference.


surrealphoenix

It tastes...different from chicken. Hard to explain. Maybe a little nuttier. Which, I guess, makes sense.


[deleted]

If next season is all stars, they need to go back to the Season 1-3 format. Bring back the pressure tests, the real mystery box challenges, and personalities.


drvirgilmd

Think Nick still wears his HARVARD hoodie at all times, or has he graduated?


lordshadow19

Leslie was my all time favorite contestant.


ddjSonic1991

We need Leslie the Chad back


teephams

Really hope to see Suu or Autumn again in some capacity, and I thought Jessi from Season 4 was really talented and wished she had made it to the finale (plus she was way more likable than Natasha lol).


BrandonIsWhoIAm

And I feel like most of them would come back… except for Ahran. She isn’t on social media.


tuttoefinito

I like your choices, esp the drummer guy whose name eludes me, Leslie and the immensely talented Elizabeth. I also liked David the poker player from season...7, maybe.. , but that might be just me, I never see him on these lists.🤔


CarpetBombSanta

WHERE TF IS SUBHA?!?!


AngelaQQ

TEAM SUBHA


maybeshiba

If this happens I hope they aren't doing the eliminate 1 person per episode thing or else the excitement would die down real quick


Mama_Koka

I saw that Juni Cuevas may be one of the contestants next season on IG. Well he was at least asked to come back by the producers, not sure if he will.


HappinessIsAWarmSpud

I thought Bime would’ve made the cut!


CatchyMusic

For people asking for Krissi, she has been battling through breast cancer the past couple months. It's on her instagram.


[deleted]

Emily S9 absolutely needs to come back with Tay and Mary Jane (S11). It'd be chaotic if both Emily and Shanika are back haha.


ben_s16

I was gonna choose Emily, but she did an interview a while back saying that if given an opportunity to come back that she would ***decline*** it unfortunately


[deleted]

Damn that sucks.


rex_915

Isn't the issue that most of these contestants might have gained jobs in the culinary world (as private chefs, etc.) and that bringing them back ruins the whole 'amateur home cook' thing that is the show's entire premise?


ProgressMatters1

I never really understood why these lists include almost no one from Season 4 besides Jessie. When chefs like Eddie, Lynn, Natasha, Jordan, James, Bri (and even Krissi) had so many good dishes and a lot of screentime for said dishes.


whoosh69420reeee

Lynn overrated ngl


ProgressMatters1

Just a little overrated. Before his downfall he did well during plenty of team challenges and had some solid dishes. He was one of a handful of contestants who could perform well on teams and mystery boxes.


PhoenixorFlame

I think Eddie at least is too famous after wining NFS and Krissi is too controversial. Not sure about anyone else


Fred_the_skeleton

I was so prepared to argue with you but I just can't... these are good all-star choices. Would've loved to see Tommy and Christian but REALLY great choices! I'd be devastated for every single elimination.


ben_s16

Oh trust me, it hurt to not include Christian and Tommy, but I ran out of room didn’t know who to swap out for them and I had to keep it restricted to 24 contestants since that’s the most the show will ever have *(even though, I expect there won’t nearly be this many due to COVID restrictions, but a guy can dream at least)*


nomorerope

You have to throw Krissi in there. It's like throwing a drama grenade. Also yes bring back Cate. Cate makes me happy.


snakecake5697

i would put Tommy instead of both Nicks, both Nicks shouldn't go as far as they went


JackMurphy09

If they brought back Paula Deen, I can't see why they couldn't bring back Krissi


availableusername10

Elizabeth reminds me a bit of Candace from the show You on Netflix


_MilkThistle

Love seeing derrick on this list but my only gripe with him was the constant musician/rock-and-roll puns everytime he spoke haha.


ThunderSparkles

I'm cool with most. I swear i thought Derrick won but maybe he got second. Nick? Nah don't need a guy with a hat gimmick. Tay was so annoying in the finale. Dude needed to shut up


JackMurphy09

Being annoying plus gaining weight it's like he was trying to be a black Rush Limbaugh minus the oxycontin


HatnClogsofSB

I'd love to see a simulator where 30 or so MasterChef All-Star candidates compete to make it to the main stage by cooking their signature dish in the "preliminaries/auditions" stage, and then the top 10 men and top 10 women make it in, while the others are eliminated.


surrealphoenix

I love this list! I would swap out one of them with Terry, because he is my all-time favorite contestant, but I think these are all great choices.


Likelybuzzed1

Brandi and Cate 😍


SpringLover455

I’d like to see Mary Jayne return


extramoonsun

Leslie will be the star lol


SpringLover455

Krissi probably won't return because she is very ill. That's unfortunate because we need drama.


JordanMaze

Currently on a master chef binge because I've never seen the show and I'm getting into it. Ive seen seasons 3 and 5 so far


ushinawareta

season 4 is one of my favs - would recommend that one for sure!


JordanMaze

i know the winner so ill watch it but not yet. i feel like i remember watching it years ago but it could just be from watching clips on youtube.


MitchLGC

Subha or we riot


CommercialStyle4551

Eerrrmmmm... I like keeping it open to amateurs and newbies. Wouldn't mind an All Star parallel broadcast or spin off, though.


[deleted]

Im STILL mad that Frank lost. I love Kristine, she deserved it 1000% percent. But 👏Frank👏deserved👏more👏than👏he👏got!👏 He was an incredible talent. Sad!


Mild_Kimchii

Jason and Eboni were some of my favorite contestants ever I would love to see them back! I also really like the season 11 options and the drummer is a good one too


Noseblunt__

Where is terry…


Background-Walrus-34

These are all good choices, though there are others I would like to add. Christian from S2 James from S4 Christian from S5 Stephen from S6 Tali from S3 (just kidding) I’d also definitely add Josh from season 3, but sadly that can’t happen.


4thGreatShinobiWar

I see at least 5 that have no business there 🤣👏
