Exactly 💯

Maybe her palate was enhanced due to her body’s response to adapting to her severely limited eyesight

I have no clue why this popped up on my feed. But having watched this on TV. You can tell if she didn’t make it as a chef Being a food critic would have been a perfect job for her

@@terrarian5166 yea the common saying you lose one sense and it heightens another

​@@sorrowfulrose3082 I'd stop short of calling that a complete myth, but later studies largely debunking the idea of sensory compensation-in which one's remaining senses become heightened in sensitivity and resolution-are more rigorous and reliable than the earlier studies that gave rise to the theory. There is some evidence that the congenitally blind enjoy neuroplasticity sufficient to enable a measure of cortical reorganisation that re-maps inputs from other sensory organs to the brain centres normally responsible for processing input from the eyes-salvaging some ability to build a mental image of one's surroundings-but that is categorically not sensory compensation. Rather, it is sensory substitution, wherein a part of the brain that has lost communication with the sensors whose inputs it was designed to process is fed data by an entirely different sense. As you can imagine, data from audio sensors is always going to be of limited use to a processor designed to make sense of data from a light sensor, and the rewiring required to deliver even that less-than-compatible data is difficult to accomplish without the neuroplasticity of a preteen-Christine was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica at the age of 24. Anyway she doesn't need all that-the girl is boss.

Did she die by his grilled cheese?😂

She could amaze even when she didn't have the sight of others.

This is exactly why she won. Sob story trumps cooking on every show out there.

Where's she now?Hope she doing great

@@cuthwulf We saw what she put out. And I don't think either of the chefs take it lightly. If they didn't like the food, they'd throw her out. When she first stepped in on audition they were doubting her.

That makes her A home cook (which is ok) and not a chef.

Except for she is a Chef, soooo

@@ketienne1021wow you reported my comment, how cringe

​@@ketienne1021Everyone in this competition is a home cook.

@@ketienne1021 this competition show is for home cooks and amateur chefs to compete...

She is even greater than allah

@@havefuntazarasu5367 Like…The Beetles? Bigger than Jesus Christ? Sure.

@@ChoiceEnvironments yes she is greater than allahs including jesus crhsits

@@havefuntazarasu5367 Jesus Crshits? This is a weird yet hilarious conversation.

Not sure, but is the guy whose food was finished by Gordon and nothing left for the other judges not from this show?

You gotta cook a lot of chicken and you'll know what you're looking for

About 15 years ago I was living in a trailer and couldn't afford to pay my electric bills, so I lived for eight or nine months through the summer and winter in Georgia. I had a full time job and was a full time student, so I couldn't afford much, and was extremely frugal. One of my neighbors, who was elderly and disabled, was kind enough to share some of the chicken that he had bought in bulk and I stored it in a cooler. I had to buy a bag of ice a day to keep it fresh, but I didn't mind spending the extra dollars because I could finally eat some real food. This went on for a couple of months because I would cut his grass for him and do random tasks he couldn't do himself, so it was a good trade, and I wound up being able to eat plenty. Luckily I had a gas powered stove, which had an oven that didn't work, and I had some flour, some spices, and oil, so I decided to fry a little bit of chicken a night. At first, I cooked by flashlight. Then candle light when my batteries died. Then I cooked it pretty much in complete darkness from what I coudn't see from the street lights in the park when I ran out of candles. After a while it became second nature to know when the chicken was done. You can tell by how the chicken feels under the utensil you have. I used a fork, myself. To this day I don't have to guess to know if my chicken is cooked to perfection from those couple of very lucky months. I know I wasn't blind, but I know how she knows.

​@@firstpersonwinner7404bro she's blind!

​@@climid this feels like a thread Toph would like. Except she can't read it either.

When Gordon tried it, you can tell she was thinking "Why the hell am I hearing silverware??"

what happened to Josh?

@@mycatsloveeachother6648 Died.. by suicide. He struggled a lot mentally. He had Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia.

​@anubhavnigam2483 rest in peace. I came just to mention that bpd is a seperate diagnosis from bipolar, bpd stands for borderline personality disorder

@@jaytrain3692 thanks for pointing that out. I've amended my comment accordingly!

@@anubhavnigam2483 of course!

To be fair, she's been doing it for her entire life, I'm pretty sure if you did it a bunch more times you might get there but it'll take awhile

​@@TheImmortalRinactually no. She was diagnosed with her disease in 2007. She went on MasterChef in 2012.

@ckelcro oh wow okay, I assumed it had been a lot longer than that, makes it even more impressive then

oh yea i once had a challenge to do my usual prep work blindfolded, like i've been distracted watching videos or listening to music while working before and its totally fine but completely no sight was godamn terrifying and a whole different feeling big props to her for sure

​@@sorrowfulrose3082 I don't think Christina is completely blind, legally, blindness is a spectrum. She's probably severely disabled but not completely blind. Probably closer to looking at things through frosted glass

He is an insecure little man who is nothing without his family succes and he knows it, 90% of what he says is no sense trying to make other people feel even smaller than him.

bro literally pulled together a bunch of smart sounding words

Joe trying to be a pretentious bald a-hole as usual

Bro said all that just to be wrong and say “congratulations, good job.”

Joe has got to be one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive. Bro yaps just to yap and be wrong

Most of us? Make it all of us😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Shes cheating. Her sense of taste was enhanced lol.

she opened her own restaurant called "the blind goat"

I think she is doing well. Just appeared in the new season of Masterchef as a guest judge. Still humble even with that Masterchef title.

She’s doing great. She moved to Canada and opened up a restaurant. She’s also published a cookbook or two.

Tragic

RIP Josh

Shame...

That was sad reading about him and his battle

That is so so sad.. he was a great guy. Depression sucks. In 2014, I lost a daughter in the exact same way. She shot herself in the head after a few years of suffering with paraparesis. I know exactly what Josh’s parents are going through. I hope they are doing okay. 😢

You can cook it 50 different ways, he chose to cook it like that :)

@@melanp4698how

He would have won any other season

I was going to comment but you already did. RIP

She said that as a point that she may have a chance to beat Christine as it wasn't perfect. EVERYONE loves Christine in this season.

Josh was mean right back, whispering to Christine that “they never said [Becky’s] dish was delicious” 😂 I think that’s just the nature of the competition

He was famous before the whole master chef idea was created

and not to mention, frog legs will never be as good as good battered fried chicken.

​@@Techie_ASMR especially if you haven't really worked with frog before. "Would you have picked this I'd you had the choice" is not the first question you want to hear in a critic's review.

@@Techie_ASMR this I disagree. I have seen elevated frog legs before better than fried chicken in real life, but that being said, Christine's chicken was just another level from Becky's frog legs

@@Techie_ASMR Well yeah but it wasnt her choice to pick frog legs, so they have to judge each dish on its own merits :)

Normal cooking is about flavour But high standard cooking require good apperance for the food, and this is where her blind eye is problem

@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 Didnt seem to be a problem for her.

what? he died?

@@mrffbmanagerguy6322 yes.

@@ArekSuroboyo1 thanks for your response. that is very sad. sorry for your loss

@@mrffbmanagerguy6322 Thank you, he was a kind soul and we often talked for hours

Oh snap.

Did he die?

@@RefugeeKLicious yeah shortly after the season aired.

@@elgenpatterson-caesar4367how old was he and do you know how he passed?

​@@cmqguyhe committed suicide after battling bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. He was 26

@@gmikeakaoh man poor Josh 🥺💔

Anyone of the three would be a winner, it just sad they all in one season

They probably cut scenes to save time.

They make two dishes. One is hot and unfilmed, the other is cold and filmed. The dish was judged but not on camera.

@@Lappelduvideify ah, thanks!

She could see before starting to lose sight at 18. Lat I recall, she can barely see anything on one eye only

From what I remember she is legally blind. She was diagnosed with her disease in 2007 and went on MasterChef on 2012. She hadn't really cooked professionally before. Since 2007, her vision has remained relatively the same. She can "see" objects within 10 or 12 inches of her face. Otherwise, she says she sees the world as if looking through a steamy mirror after a hot shower. (Being legally blind does not necessarily mean a complete loss of vision. Dim vision is common.)

What happened to Josh?

Huh?

​@@davidcantor8349he committed suicide a year after this. They said he had schizophrenia

@@annawhyte5890 Oh man… that is truly sad and heartbreaking. He looked like he had his entire life ahead of him and a bright future. Damn.

@@davidcantor8349 i been watching stormchasers on Max and alot of people on that show are no longer with us.

Honestly tastes good

I didn't notice that myself until they hugged. Had Christine looking like a doll.
