MasterChef Christina Tosi — FOX

*MasterChef* judge Christina Tosi gives a pep talk to a tearful contestant in the "Silenced by the Lambs" episode.

There’s no crying in cooking! In Wednesday’s “Silenced by the Lambs” episode of MasterChef, the remaining contestants must prepare racks of lamb in the skills test, before re-creating chef Gordon Ramsay‘s signature lamb chop dish in the elimination challenge.

And when chef-testant Jennifer is wracked with grief over her rack of lamb, judge Christina Tosi steps in to give an impromptu pep talk.

Take an exclusive sneak peek:

“You can do this!” the famed pastry chef tells the tearful contestant, showing that Tosi is much sweeter than MasterChef host and head judge, Gordon Ramsay.

We’ll have to wait to see if the pep talk helps Jennifer stay in the competition, but as Hell’s Kitchen fans know, as long as Jennifer doesn’t lose the lamb sauce, she should be fine.

How do “ewe” think you’d do in a rack-of-lamb challenge? I’d do baaaaad.

To be fair, Ramsay has also given pep talks to struggling contestants and Tosi has criticized them severely. They both play favorites and show their contempt for contestants they don't like.

  True, but I think they do the scolding stuff on purpose to amp up the pressure on the contestants.
  
  In the bumpers in and out of the commercials for the last episode, they showed Christina biting a prawn head of a contestant's dish and making a face like it tasted bad, along with a reaction shot of the dancer from Brooklyn. I looked for her to do that when judging the dishes, but I didn't see it. Nor did the dancer guy have his dish judged. Continuity error, I guess.

  It could have been a scene that was cut for time or even one from another episode. I have to wonder how much of their reactions are just play acting for the cameras to make the show more interesting.
