Not To Be Dramatic, But I Would Die For Ben On ‘Junior MasterChef’
Junior MasterChef premiered earlier this week and it is a wholesome addition to the absolute trashfire of a year that is 2020. Basically, it’s the show we never knew we needed.
Watching these tiny children cook up a storm and deliver perfect dishes that you could only dream of cooking as a twenty-something is weirdly heartwarming. And the respect, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm they show towards each other as competing contestants and towards the judges goes to show reality TV doesn’t need staged fights or drama to keep you interested.
Already fans of the show have been captivated by the kids, but there’s been one standout: 10-year-old Ben Bolton.
Simply put, Ben is just super endearing. His enthusiasm, big smile, and passion for cooking shines through but he also drops in highly relatable quotes and jokes… like below:

Not to be dramatic, but I would pledge my life for Ben in order to ensure his future happiness and success. Forget The Bachelorette. Forget Home and Away. Forget anything else on primetime TV right now. Ben and his infectious smile and sweet nature is all that matters.
I would die for Ben #JuniorMasterchefAU

Ben has already won himself a legion of fans on Junior MasterChef:
Not to be dramatic or anything but given the opportunity I would definitely trade some of my adult friends to be mates with Ben. Culinary genius, highly entertaining, excellent roaster of dads, will drink, & clearly a legend in general. Yep, way cooler than most. #JrMasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/UIbXW1tdL4

I’m not saying that a 10 year old child named Ben has the ability to turn around 2020 but I’m also not, not saying this #JrMasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/Cp1MLZb5Qh

It’s only been two segments but someone needs to give Ben his own show already #JrMasterChefAU

We do not deserve this precious angel.
We all want to adopt Cub Scout Ben, right? #JrMasterChefAU
