    I can't believe how talented these kids are! They are wonderful to be able to cook at that kind of level! I give them so much credit!Frankly from what i've seen so far i didn't see any bullying but then again, the other kids do shout at one another to support them and motivate them. Perhaps that can be concieved as bullying? That i'm not too sure about but the show is definitely amazing to watch especially when a 9 year old can cook like that. simply amazing.

    I watched a few episodes of Season 1, but didn't really get into MasterChef Junior until Season 2, starting from about the 3rd or 4th episode. First off, I must say that all these children can definitely cook. It's inspirational and shocking to see them so talented at such a young age, and to even think about what they could become in the future is jaw-dropping. Throughout the entire series, you can see their imagination and creativity flourishing in the dishes they make, and even their accomplishments wow the judges to no end.However, even though I do enjoy watching these kids cook, and the judges aren't as strict and mean as they are on the adult version of MasterChef, I am not enjoying the arrogance and personalities portrayed by some kids. On national television, TV personalities and in this instance, these kids should be role models for the youngsters watching this show. Yes, they can cook, which is inspiring, but there are many phrases and comments they say that should not have been in the show at all. They should have been edited out. Like others have said, bullying was present along with these kids giving each other snide, hurtful remarks. These are not scenes that you want your children to look at and learn from - after all, it is a show tailored towards kids of all ages. From the show, some of the kids act like they are know-it-alls and better than the rest, and when the judges praise them for their performance...that indirectly states that they're okay with that behaviour. In an already tough and stressful world, we don't need more generations learning from such behaviour on television, especially a reality one with kids as a main audience.If they could tone down the arrogance and spiteful remarks that these kids have for each other, and just keep the fun, playful and competitive components, then this show could have a lot of potential. As of Season 2, the amount of arrogance and bullying seen in the episodes has turned me off of watching future seasons.

    I think MasterChef Junior is a wonderful show! The kids are absolutely amazing and talented! They are great cooks and are super adorable! It's so sad to see any of them go- they're all so amazing, even if they do have their flaws. After all, they are like 10 years old! I do think the judges are really easy on the kids and put on a super nice act for them because they are kids. I also see a bit of favoritism towards Alexander and Sarah but not a lot.I wish they would only eliminate 1 person per episode. I get that they don't want to single out just 1 person but it seems like the season is going by realllllllllly quickly. Maybe eliminate 2 people every other episode? Did anyone else notice how all of the contestants are from California, New York, or New Jersey?

    What a shock the judges are showing favoritism. The kids knew Alexander was ready to go home Give me a break the cake looked awful and tasteless Please somebody tell me I'm not lying What going to happened if he is weak in another episode Does the judges overlooked again We must write more reviews about the last episode However, the kids are gifted and smart Some of those foods I know I can't prepare without reading a cookbook. I think the competition belongs to the adults cooks.. When I saw the show I almost wanted to delete the program from my regular recordings but I just love cooking shows and competitions. I decided to continue to keep it.
