Why should you watch tonight's "MasterChef Junior" premiere episode? What should we expect for the second season of MC Jr.? Warning: minor spoilers ahead!

According to USA Today, "In Gordon Ramsay's opinion, some of the finest chefs are those that need a step stool to reach the countertop. As MasterChef Junior, the latest entrée in his TV kitchen empire, fires up a second season Tuesday (Fox, 8 p.m. ET/PT), kids ages 8 to 13 do more than whip together a mean grilled cheese or savory plate of chicken fingers. Instead, they're serving up chicken-liver pate, seared pork chops, or grapefruit cream pies dusted with pistachio and mint. Unlike grown-ups, "the kids have no fear. There's no preempted or calculated speech; it's just raw - a bit like me, really," Ramsay says, sporting a sharp blue jacket and messily coiffed blond locks. "It's just so much easier to teach them because they pick up quicker and they learn. They may make mistakes, but they do not make that same mistake twice." Unlike the more easygoing Guy Fieri (who has his own Kids Cook Off with Rachael Ray on the Food Network), Ramsay has been known to skewer contestants as host of reality cooking shows such as the adult MasterChef, Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. Yet he simmers down when it comes to the kids, adopting an al dente approach with co-hosts Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich that is firm and challenging, but also constructive and enjoyable for the talented tykes."

The A.V. Club also touts the show as one of the best cooking programs on TV, explaining "MasterChef Junior differs from the glut of competitive cooking shows on television-and from most reality TV overall-by fully embracing joy and documenting the genuine enthusiasm of youth. Reality TV is an unnatural state to exist in: Competitors are generally far from their families, placed in an unfamiliar environment and forced to compete with strangers for recognition and a singular title. And yet, most emotion exhibited by these competitors seems canned or strained. The typical series is built around a scenario that induces as much stress and anxiety as possible, funneling most, if not all, emotion into anger and resentment. By focusing on children, MasterChef Junior allows reality television to breathe again. There are plenty of tears in the first two episodes of the show's second season, and yet it's still less than expected. When a contestant gets teary, a judge is there to reassure them, if not other contestants. They dissolve into gales of laughter when something tickles their fancy or the judges do something silly; more than once an older child helps a younger child maneuver some of the heavier kitchen equipment. This is still a competition, but the tiny chefs realize that they are among kindred spirits. They want to win, but they want to do so without hurting anyone's feelings. Beyond anything else, the main reason to tune into MasterChef Junior is to watch talented people do amazing things, regardless of age. It's inspiring to watch beautiful food prepared, and when it's done by a 9-year-old who calls the show "the first big adventure" of her childhood, it's a little bit emotional, too. The same goes for the little girl who's been cooking "since she was 2" and earnestly reports what she'd do with the $100,000 top prize: Give most of it to charity (and also buy a pony)."

It will certainly be interesting to see all of this play out! Any early favorites? Who are you rooting for to win Season 2 of "MasterChef Junior?"
