The biggest change for the show this year is the fact that pastry chef Christina Tosi will no longer be the third judge. The owner of Milk Bar landed her own show on Netflix called Bake Squad, which could be why she decided not to return to MasterChef Junior as a judge. Replacing her is food writer, chef, and daughter of Dr. Oz, Daphne Oz, who won an Emmy in 2011 as host of The Chew.

It's really hard to move past the whole Dr. Oz of it all but we must press on. Regarding her judging style, Gordon told People that Daphne "brings a positive energy and unique perspective to the show and we’re thrilled to have her as part of the MasterChef family." Speaking of her dad (oh no, we're back to him), after leaving The Chew in 2017, Daphne had her own segment on his show called "The Dish on Oz."

They say you are what you eat and who you hang with, which means we should probably be concerned by the fact that Daphne hosts a podcast with Hilaria Baldwin called Mom Brain. Maybe it was mom brain that made Hilaria forget where she was born and raised. Who can say?

For Daphne, working with Gordon and Aarón has been a real treat. She revealed to People that, "It blows me away how close these people are and how much like a family they are. I love to be able to bring that front and center for the cameras to see as well."

If you're worried about the show feeling not quite like itself, have no fear. Daphne believes "loyal fans of the show, and new fans of the show, will see that if you’re looking for a place to be inspired and to have fun. then this is the show for you."

Season 8 of Masterchef Junior premieres on March 17 at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
