Exclusive: MasterChef is back in production on Season 11. Filming on the popular Fox food competition series resumed in Los Angeles on Monday, October 26, following a seven-month Covid-19-related shutdown. MasterChef had shot 10 of its 18 Season 11 episodes when production came to a halt in mid-March due to the corovavirus pandemic.
The show, which is produced by Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato, is following guidelines set by local and state officials, as well as the CDC, in its return to production.
“The safety of the entire cast and crew has and is the number one priority,” producers said in a statement. “Given the Covid-19 restrictions placed on production, we are creating new and innovative ways to produce the series, while honoring its creative spirit. The behind-the-scenes culinary team, which has always followed all health department guidelines, is now taking additional precautions including wearing gloves, masks and face shields/goggles.

Because Gordon Ramsay apparently isn’t busy enough, Fox has ordered a 10th season of his MasterChef. The renewal of the unscripted hit from Endemol Shine comes ahead of tonight’s Season 9 finale.
The network also said today that Natalka Znak (Hardcore Pawn) has joined the show as executive producer.
Nationwide casting calls for Season 10 have begun and will continue throughout September as MasterChef looks for the next batch of home cooks to compete for the coveted white apron. And, for the first time ever, Ramsay’s own culinary team will be hitting the road with the casting team to be his eyes and ears — checking out potential contestants and tasting their culinary creations.
The irascible Ramsay’s full plate also includes or has included such U.S. culinary reality series as spinoff MasterChef Junior, 24 Hours to Hell and Back, Hell’s Kitchen and Culinary Genius. He also fronts multiple series on British TV.

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.
Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.
Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

Fox has given Gordon Ramsay’s newest reality series Hotel Hell a second-season order. After having its premiere date pushed a couple of times, Hotel Hell posted the highest-rated series debut of the summer and ranks as this summer’s No. 1 new series among Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34 as well as other demos. “With Hotel Hell, Gordon has proved once again that he’s one of the most successful and appealing personalities on television,” said Fox’s president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell. “He delivered an amazing new show for us this summer that fans immediately embraced.” Hotel Hell, in which Ramsay whips failing hotels into shape, joins Ramsay’s MasterChef, which was renewed for a fourth season last month, and his flagship Hell’s Kitchen, which received a two-season pickup in April. Hotel Hell, whose freshman season finale airs Monday, is produced by Ramsay’s One Potato Two Potato Inc.

Gordon Ramsay is expanding beyond cooking and setting his sights on a new makeover target: Hotels.
Fox has ordered a new Ramsay series where the reality kingpin will partner with a team of hospitality experts, traveling across the country to try and fix every aspect of struggling hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts. The working title: Hotel Hell.

Iowa often drives candidates to defend the ethanol subsidies that benefit the state. Pawlenty has bucked the trend. But as Michael Tomasky explains, the move is less gutsy than it looks.
Of all the misused words in the lexicon of punditocracy, "courageous" is easily the word most often misapplied. Remember when Paul Ryan's budget plan was "courageous," for about a week, before most people realized it was dishonest and/or nuts? It was a classic example of the genre: political journalists have certain idees fixe about the so-called hard facts of political life, and when a politician appears to confront one of them, he's instantly dubbed courageous.

Like their right-wing opponents, Us Uncut activists tap into Americans' anger toward a system perceived as favoring interest groups over the common good. But they're sensitive about the Tea Party comparisons, writes Ben Adler.
It's an open but dirty secret in liberal circles that their disdain for the Tea Party movement is tinged with jealousy. Having watched Republicans run up the deficit, expand government power, and preside over rising inequality and unemployment, liberals are indignant and baffled that the mass response has come in the form of an anti-tax, anti-spending and anti-regulation movement on the right. Progressives may mock the tri-corner hats and shaky grasp of economics of Tea Party rallies, but they also gaze longingly at the massive crowds and wonder, "Why can't we get this many people to come out?"
