A double dose of Masterchef: Tastes of America meant twice the drama, intensity, and eliminations.
And with MasterChef Season 13 Episode 11 and Masterchef Season 13 Episode 12, we're just shy of seeing who our top ten of the season will be.
With a mystery box challenge with guest judge Andre Rush and the infamous Tag Team challenge, the competition truly heated up with difficult and creative tasks that put the remaining contestants under pressure.
