Final Four on Master Chef

Christine Ha from Houston, TX; Josh Marks from Jackson, MS; Frank Mirando from Holtsville, NY; and Becky Reams from Stilwell, KS, are the Top Four finalists on MASTERCHEF, after Monti Carlo, from Los Angeles, CA, was eliminated on Tuesday.   

In the next episode airing Tuesday, Aug. 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), the Top Four home cooks will split into two teams and prepare a three-course meal for judges Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot and three world-renowned, Michelin-starred chefs: Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy. 

The following week, in Part One of the two-part season finale airing Tuesday, Sept. 4 , the top three will compete head-to-head in the last mystery box challenge, but only two home cooks will advance to the final showdown.  

On the final showdown airing Monday, Sept. 10 , one cook will be named MASTERCHEF.  The prize is a book deal and $250,000.
