For several years now, Spanish Television has adhered to the MasterChef formula. The cooking competition with a dose of reality show has become a mass phenomenon nationwide, expanding its universe to various subformats. From the celebrity editions with MasterChef Celebrity, to both children's and senior editions, as well as many other specials over the years.
However, the one that makes anonymous chefs known and catapults them to stardom is once again the dominant one on the public channel's television schedule. In the midst of a turbulent week following the replacement of the director and content director of RTVE, the network announced this Tuesday the premiere date of MasterChef 12, the twelfth season of the original format. The date chosen on the calendar is next Monday, April 1.
This choice will make it compete directly against Mental Masters on Telecinco and Hermanos on Antena 3. The mechanical arm contest will be one of its main competitors, after an accepted premiere this week. However, the premiere will significantly change the La 1 schedule in the following weeks. The first and main affected is Bake Off: Baked Famous, which will undergo its fourth transfer before concluding with the final on Wednesday the 3rd.
On the other hand, Dance as You Can also suffers the consequences that it had caused when it premiered three weeks earlier, moving from Monday to Tuesday starting April 2. For its part, Masters of Couture will continue to air on Thursdays in prime time and compete directly against the Supervivientes gala. In this way, MasterChef 12, Dance as You Can, the final of Bake Off and Masters of Couture will make up next week's maximum audience, respectively.
The twelfth season of MasterChef will start next Monday choosing the final contestants in front of the Sagrada Familia. A group of 50 candidates will be put to the test in front of the famous basilica of Barcelona, first cooking a dish of Catalan gastronomy and then a recipe from their places of origin, which will tell the judges who they are as people and cooks and how far they want to go. in gastronomy.
Once again, Pepe Rodríguez, Jordi Cruz and Samantha Vallejo-Nágera are in charge of forming the relentless jury that must taste and determine which is the best dish. Likewise, in this season the program will visit other iconic places in the territory, beyond the Sagrada Familia. From the Cathedral of San Salvador in Oviedo to the Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, passing through the Retiro Memory Forest in a tribute to the victims of 11M.
