MasterChef Junior Season 7 Thread

[FirePuppy 739]

This is the official thread for MasterChef Junior's seventh season. In this cooking competition show, 24 kids between ages 8–13 compete for a cash prize of $100,000 and the MasterChef Junior trophy.

For this season, I am doing a points chart for the contestants' progresses throughout the show. 

Here's the scores so far:

Name	Previous Score	New Score
Ben	4	6
Evie	3	5
Talulah	3	5
Matthew	3	5
Ivy	3	4
Malia	3	4
Sadie	3	4
Nayeli	2	4
Reid	2	4
Jayden	2	4
Che	2	3
Aaron	2	3
Kate	2	3
Mateo	2	3
Rhashad	1	3
Brielle	1	3
Kyle	1	3
Jaala	2	2
Tal	3	Eliminated
Ashley	3	Eliminated

How the scoring system works:

• If a cook wins a challenge, or is in the winning team in a team challenge, 2 points are awarded (or more, depending on the cook's advantage).

• If a cook wins a challenge but is NOT saved from elimination in the next one within the same episode (which is usually a rare instance), only 1 point is awarded.

• If a cook wins does not win a challenge but is saved from elimination, or advances after competing in a pressure test, 1 point is awarded.

• If a cook is nominated as a bottom entry in any challenge, no points are awarded for that cook. This does not apply to in the final team challenge, as 1 point is awarded to the cook from the losing team that advances to the semifinals with the winning team.

Whoever currently has more points so far will more likely make it to the end, while those who have less will be more likely eliminated eventually.

Also feel free to discuss your opinions about the cooks and their skills.
