What to expect from episodes 12 and 13 of MasterChef Junior Season 8?

The upcoming episode will be a two-part show, because episodes 12 and 13 will get telecasted on the same night.

Episode 12 will mark the return of the Season 1 winner Alexander Weiss. The contestants will be assigned a challenge to fillet as many fish as possible within a time frame of 15 minutes. Furthermore, the three contestants who fillet the least number of fish will have to compete in a challenge to create a show-stopping salmon dish to make it to the final four. Episode 12 will take the show a step forward, towards the finale.

Episode 13 will be crucial because viewers will finally get to find out the top 3 finalists. The second hour of the show will also amaze viewers because of the never-seen-before collab between the WWE championship and the budding junior chefs.

Champions Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Natalya, and Ember Moon will be making an appearance on the show to partner with the final four contestants in the ultimate elimination challenge of the competition. Each junior will be partnered with one WWE champion. The contestants will be challenged to create one of the signature dishes of Gordon Ramsay, the twist being that only one partner can work on the counter at a time, and they will be guided by the other who will stand "out of the ring" just like in a wrestling match. The results of the challenge will lead to the elimination of one out of the four contestants.

The official description of Episode 13 of MasterChef Junior reads:

"The four remaining junior chefs pair up with WWE Superstars, who are much more comfortable in the ring. The winning junior receives tickets to a WWE match. In the elimination challenge, the chefs prepare one of Gordon Ramsay's signature dishes."
