Josh is my cousin...more like a brother. That was very nice of you to mention him and to dedicate this video to him. Our family really appreciate it. Congrats on your success.

It broke my heart to hear about Josh. I absolutely loved him and Christine. Both great competitors and so talented. Pure class. This country is hard on people. We need mental health awareness and support. Much love to Josh’s family.
@@kbm-iy9tj I mean he isn't wrong is he? How many times you here people say shit like "We need this or that." And they just expect others to provide this or that. How about they act instead of talk? Or is that considered disrespectful? But using the personal tragedy of others to virtue signal is totally ok?
I just watched season 3 and loved you and josh. I’m so sad to know he passed and didn’t get the help he deserved. He was a gentle giant. On another note you’ve overcome so much, never stop.
‘’gental giant’’ thats so cute ;-; RIP josh you were a great soul 💝 and christa!! being and indian i am very proud of you and your team i know u did great with the indian food!!! that food looked delicious
@@renaminginprogress6903 Wtf dude?!?! Everyone from that season knew Christine was capable of winning inspite of her disability. Everyone respected bc of her cooking and not bc of her disability. Even Josh knew she was the best of the best. This was not a pity win.

That's so terrible! Mental illness is the worst! People cant see that you're ill, everyone thinks you're ok when you're not. You hurt so badly inside and you have no choice but to drag yourself up and function Not live, but function. Life doesnt matter anymore and that abyss is right there with you and its so tempting to dive in. The blackness and silence is so so addicting and so inviting. No more pain, no more anything.
I watched the whole third season of MasterChef today. Your apple pie makes me cry happy tears every time! I am so glad you and John have a RUclips channel! It is a gift to watch you both! Thank you very much!!!
@@theblindcook , as a Vietnamese person who see another Vietnamese person succeeding make me proud. Also, how you never give up even with a disadvantage. Respect and love.
I still vividly remember in one chapter when Christine prepared the fish dish which were served to Barack Obama. Gordon was astonished why she could manage it so perfectly, how the elements were beautifully arranged on the plate.He was so surprised that he asked her if he was fooled about her vision impaired. And then Christine said: „ No Sir, I WISH“That was so touching for me.. . She wished that Gordon was fooled so that she could see everything again as normal people do.
Christine! I remember watching your season during my finals at med school in Hong Kong. You motivated me to do better and work harder. Now I'm a doctor and I am about to do my first Intensive Care and Anaesthesia exam, your GoPro video again was extremely inspirational. I'll do my best to pass the exam and make an effort to your restaurant soon! Hope I'll get a seat after waiting for hours in the super long line outside your restaurant!

The earlier seasons of Masterchef US were the best. Your season was the one that I had a favorite. I was rooting for you since the beginning. You reminded me of a friend of mine. I first met her at a local gym where she is a group exercise/spinning/yoga instructor. We share a love for the show CSI. After knowing her for a while, she confided that she has glaucoma in both her eyes. And she is losing her eyesight slowly. I was shock, you'll never know if she had not reveal that. She had participated in various trialathon including Ironman. She's an avid cyclist with her husband and little boy. She's an inspiration. And btw... She loves you too.
Christine Ha : I can't believe you replied! 😁 I'm fangirling now. HAHAHA... Hope I'll be able to taste your food. For now I just have to settle making your recipes from your cookbook. 😜 Take care... ❤
Christine Ha you are an inspiration! My name is Eric I am from Washington DC and I love watching your videos and you on the show! Also I am blind. I love to cook! I hope you can come to Washington DC sometime.
I rooted for Christine on every segment. I was born and raised in Houston. So I had laughed and cried with her, on each show. I think woman is truly amazing, all her dishes looked so good! I would like very much to sit with her, and just share my heart. And would like to try some of her recipes! Will be ordering her book!
You guys are so wonderful, glad you won and life treating you well. lt saddened me to hear about Josh. Christine, if you read this and speak to his mum and family, please pass on my condolences, he was amazing on the show, his strength and warmth and kindness shone through and he was very likeable. I wish for his family the very best of health and happiness. Sometimes life sux.
lorcan jay Really? I think it's obvious to everyone that Christine probably has somebody read her comments to her. A little unnecessary to try to call someone down who had such a nice comment.
The few seconds that I "experienced" Christine's vision, on screen made me really appreciate my ability to be able to see. You take things for granted, but never really realise how fortunate you are. Christine is inspiration to me, she's awesome!
Josh took his life? He had so much going for him. My heart just sank. im crying for him and his family and everyone who ever got to come in contact with that beautiful man.
I'm glad you mentioned Josh and dedicated the video to him. It's hard to watch the footage of him talking about his dreams for his own cooking school, it would be amazing if one were to be named after him. You're also a huge inspiration; I'm not an aspiring chef, but overcoming self-doubt and excelling in academics and your passions is an amazing accomplishment and that is inspirational to me. I've dealt with vision impairment for twenty years, as a result of amblyopia, and I'm happy you haven't let your autoimmune disease keep you from living a fulfilled life. You're simply brilliant.
Wow I didn't know you had an auto immune illness I got diagnosed with an auto immune illness too my illness attacked my kidneys and brain last time,I felt my whole world had crashed like I could no longer do what I wanted to do but seeing you it has inspired me to chase my dreams I'm still me and not my illness.Before I got sick I wasn't much of a cook but I found now that cooking is an excape I'm not as good as you but good enough to keep my husband happy.Your story has brought me to tears good inspirational tears I wish good vibes in all of your future projects
Christine Ha (US) and Eric Chong (Canada) on one picture just made me scream in the middle of the night. My 2 favorite Masterchefs! I binge-watched all of MC Canada seasons and started with the US version after. Totally love it!
Christine, you are an incredibly amazing person. John is a very lucky man to have you as part of his life. I met Gordon Ramsay, briefly, a few years ago. I asked him about you and his reply was "brilliant girl."
In Ho Chi Minh there's a restaurant called "Noir", have you heard of it? Guests have to eat in the dark and the staff (waiters/ waitresses) are blind; they guide you to your seats and help you eat. Maybe it could be something that'd fit you if you opened a restaurant. It could be a really interesting experience for Jon, too. Take him there next time you come to Hcm :)
Vish Wah I only ate pho and bahn bao lol... Seems like I am not Asian anymore ;_;. Pho is basically a pork/beef/ox soup with noodles and bahn bao is a pork bun.
Man i dont usually cry when it comes to people's backstory. But I saw season 3. And her audition and her backstory just bought tears to my eyes. I was balling up quietly.And the fact that she won is like god tier.
You are a true inspiration. Got my grown black man ass crying over your video clips. Not gonna lie lost it when you cried about the Apple Pie. God Bless you and can't wait to visit your restaurant one day soon.
I’m here in 2021 after watching the entire season just in tears! Such an inspiration and I couldn’t be happier for you….I cried like a baby and ugly tears too during the apple pie episode! Rip Josh! Heartbroken!
She reminds me of Toph Beifong from Avatar the last airbender. She may be vision impaired, but she’s a badass. Toph, the earthbending badass who invented metal bending and Christine, the absolute badass who defied the odds and cooks like a dream
I was Team Christine from the beginning. I knew you could do it and in the first episode you said it! You were the next Master Chef! You are beyond amazing and such an inspiration. God bless you.
"I'm not here to just be an inspiration, I'm not here just to be a gimmick. I want to win the whole thing" Paraphrased but that was my favourite quote from you Christine, all the best in your endeavours.
I actually started watching Masterchef on season 3 and was rooting for either you (Christine) or Josh to win it. You both were so charismatic and such fun-to-watch people that I couldn't help but to root for the both of you. When you guys were announced the finalists, I was extremely hyped. It's so sad to hear about Josh's passing. And an even sadder note to think that he might be alive if he won masterchef that season =\. Life goes on however, hope Christine will dedicate a dish for Josh. That would be such a great homage to him and I would love to visit her future restaurant to try it and any of her dishes whenever it happens!
If it might ease your mind a little. The reason he did it was because he had Schizophrenia, so it was most likely not a decision he would have made in sound mind. Though I do not think winning master chief would have changed that unfortunately.
Dear Christine, thank you very much for mentionning Josh into your video and to dedicate this video to him. Thank you very much also, for being such an amazing source of inspiration, and such a great human being. I wish you all the best for you and your family
Christine, you were always a class act on Masterchef, and you carry yourself with even more grace and elegance five + years later. Best wishes for continued success.
from the moment i saw your audition for season 3 i was amazed by everything that you do and been so inspired every time. I told myself, gosh i hope she makes it far! and every week you amazed me more and more and more, getting more excited every time you made it through another week. when you won i jumped with joy and it was so amazing to watch your journey! 😭😭
I just finished watching season 10 of Masterchef, and now I'm planning to binge watch season 3. Congratulations on your success in life and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us.
I'm just watching all the masterchief seasons for this first time and everything you made was absolute perfection. It's obvious that you earned the love and respect of the contestants and you are an inspiration to everyone.
The loss of Josh broke my heart.. I had such high hope for what was to come from him.. The loss of someone I had never known is confusing to me, but none the less we ( the world ) lost a shining star.. Rest in peace big man, you will be a star for many as we continue without you... God bless your family.
I just finished marathoning season 3 since I want to watch all seasons before season 8. I saw Christine and holy crap that was such a ride. I'm so proud of you, even 5 years later.
You're season was by far the most amazing season of masterchef! U guys bonded with each other and its just incredible! You're truly an inspirational person Christine!
i honestly feel horrible about what happened to josh, its honestly sucks that such a gentle giant went down that way, god truly is a cruel person, still despite this being 3 years ago, congrats to you.
IMHO, the "rubbish pie" was your best episode. Today, that "rubbish pie" is one of the best apple pies on earth. My brother has been to your Blind Goat restaurant, and he says that the "rubbish pie" is to die for because it is so good.
*@ChristineHa:* I just saw your video for the first time, it was a Goal Cast video and it brought me to tears! I’ve been working tirelessly for months upon an educational blog that I’m building from the ground up, and I feel so burned out lately as all of my free time has been dedicated to this educational project with my goal being to educate people around the world at no direct cost to anyone. When I watched your video, it renewed me in some strange way because it made me think once again that anything is possible despite having not felt that way during this entire project that I am taking on alone Two things you said really stuck with me, the first was that “if you don’t try, you have a 0% chance of success” and the second, which I found even more inspirational, was that *“if you cannot see how steep the mountain is, you have nothing to fear”.* Your words about the mountain moved me and may be one of the best pieces of advice I have ever received in my life. I want to say thank you to you for gifting that to me. It feels like you blew oxygen into my flame that was beginning to flicker out. Thank you once again Christine 😊🙌🤩
Mrs. Ha is a truly talented, strong, and amazing woman. She deserved that Masterchef win by being an extraordinary chef with such creative dishes so incredibly excuted. Simply an amazing woman. God bless her.
It doesn't seem like I've been watching MasterChef so many years (I watched one or two seasons before Christine won). Christine is still my favorite and most inspirational MasterChef.
Christine, thank you for being an inspiration. You have a beautiful heart & soul that truly shines in all that you do. Also thanks to you & your husband John for sharing your lives. Always wishing you both the best in life , here's to a lifetime of success, happiness , laughter & cherished memories for you both too 😊💖👍🌹.
Season 3 was one of my favourites. I am so happy to watch your videos and see where your amazing talents bring you! I didn't know you come to Canada! If you ever come to Muskoka and go to Huntsville, Ontario for the love god go to 3 Guys and a Stove for brunch (weekend only). Everything is from scratch and soooo goooddd.
I watched a lot of MasterChef seasons, but I have never before been so attached to the consestants as in 3 season. I really like Josh and Christine, and I was very shocked to know that Josh passed away, I was in tears. I’m really glad that Christine won the season, and honestly she is the cutest and the most adorable woman I have ever seen. It’s a weird feeling, but when I look at her I just want to give her a hug. I probably sound creepy, but I think I’m not alone at this point.
We binged watch MasterChef just to see you. You are an inspiration! There really is no excuse in life, with motivation, perseverance and hard work, you can be anything whi you want to be! I admire your courage! :)
Incredible...brought tears to my eyes and a Smile in my Heart... Thank You... and so sorry to hear of your companion and friend in the Master Chef Competition passing away.
Hi Christine, I am legally blind since birth ( ROP of Prematurity and optic Atrophy) and I listened to Master Chef when you were on the show and you inspired me to follow my dreams no matter what people say! I get asked all the time “ How can you go that if your Blind? “ people treated me like I couldn’t do anything but I am glad I am independent and learned a lot on my own like cooking etc. Thank you for your encouragement! Ayla ( Victoria, BC, Canada) Medium and Paranormal Researcher/ Investigator 👻
Back to 2010 until early 2012, I didn’t watch Masterchef because I wasn’t a big fan of the show... but when my friend told me that season 3 which was airing in 2012 was amazing, because of YOU.. the inspirational contestant, so i started to watch Every episode of Masterchef US SINCE THEN! And until now i am one of the biggest fan of the show and you! 😃 Thank you for being such a wonderful person and inspiration chef!! God bless you, Christine 😊
I have recently started watching Master Chef since Covid came. I must say, you are my favorite winner. Your story and your determination were both inspiring and amazing. I was very proud of you when you won Season 3 and claimed that coveted Master Chef apron. I think that Gordon and the other judges and the other contestants had their doubts that you would succeed.....but you proved that IN SPITE of your lack of sight, you can STILL live your dreams and be successful. You showed them all what an amazing Chef you are. You are a hero to me. Congratulations on the success of your book.
I first saw you on Facebook literally a week ago I know I’m a late bloomer but I’ve just finished watching the full season tonight as I wanted to see how far you’d go and I must say you really represent “when you put your mind to it you can do it” love you big fan!
you will always be an inspiration to me. actually, every time i feel that i can do nothing and feel useless, i go to youtube and watch your video, that challenge where you made apple pie and watch that all the judge love your apple pie where in the beginning you were not sure about the pie and you nailed it every time i watched that video, it gave me a boost of confidence not to give up, to believe that i CAN do Thanks for everything, Christine. You have inspired me and a lot of people more than you think you have. This world is blessed to have you with us
I am from the Philippines. I watched all the episodes of master chef from the audition of all the contestants with you and that's when I was impressed with you. and in every elimination there is also the nervousness and I am very happy every time you praise and impress them sister Christine. I'm 21 years old and have 2 children. Since I started my family, I've tried to learn how to cook because back then I wasn't allowed to cook because I was an only child and I only went to school and studied. now you are my inspiration to learn more. I'm so happy that you won even though it's been a few years since you won, I'll never get tired of watching the episode with you and your life over and over again... congrats sister christine.

Season 3 was the best, I mean I watched all the other seasons beforehand and I can say nothing comes close. Thank you Christine, you're such an inspiration.
Ya know you are a huge huge inspiration to me and everyone! It’s a sad thing to loose such a great person. I just finished watching the season and I was thrilled to find that you won. However I loved josh dearly. He was so inspiring, fun, and skilled in what he did. I remember watching the audition for it and immediately saying, “He’s going to make it to the end” and he did. I looked up where everyone is now and it absolutely broke me to find what had happened. Josh had people who loved him and he still does, many and many people do! He is an inspiration, just as you are! I like to keep a list of things I’d like to never forget, wether it’s comprised of people, movies, shows, or places...and you and josh have made such an impact on me, that you bet you guys are on my list ✨❤️
I’m very late on Masterchef series I just finished season 3. I’m so happy you won I was rooting for you the entire time was hard to hold back the tears. You’re an inspiration.
The amazing thing was YOU! Seeing you take on each challenge and succeeding, even when it was extremely difficult, was a weekly reminder to try harder, to do better. You are such a bright light and all of the stars were aligned to display your beautiful way with food and your tenacity. A well-deserved win.
That honestly was the best season of MC. You were and are still one of the best winners on the show. Sadly I didn't know you had a YB channel until mid 2016. Glad I subbed thought, always enjoy the videos you two make!
Josh is my cousin...more like a brother. That was very nice of you to mention him and to dedicate this video to him. Our family really appreciate it. Congrats on your success.

Season 3 is the most dramatic. I loved everything about it. Christine, Monti, Felix and Frank where my favourite.

It was a imitation of Graham Elliot's white tuna sushimi was all I remember of it.
“Am I being plunked” that was my fav moment too
And she finished it earlier than others. Amazing!

The earlier seasons of Masterchef US were the best. Your season was the one that I had a favorite. I was rooting for you since the beginning. You reminded me of a friend of mine. I first met her at a local gym where she is a group exercise/spinning/yoga instructor. We share a love for the show CSI. After knowing her for a while, she confided that she has glaucoma in both her eyes. And she is losing her eyesight slowly. I was shock, you'll never know if she had not reveal that. She had participated in various trialathon including Ironman. She's an avid cyclist with her husband and little boy. She's an inspiration. And btw... She loves you too.
+mizuko2001 Thanks for sharing about your friend 💪🏼
Christine Ha : I can't believe you replied! 😁 I'm fangirling now. HAHAHA... Hope I'll be able to taste your food. For now I just have to settle making your recipes from your cookbook. 😜 Take care... ❤

mizuko2001 it's not the same without joe and the trash can
Christine Ha you are an inspiration! My name is Eric I am from Washington DC and I love watching your videos and you on the show! Also I am blind. I love to cook! I hope you can come to Washington DC sometime.
I rooted for Christine on every segment. I was born and raised in Houston. So I had laughed and cried with her, on each show. I think woman is truly amazing, all her dishes looked so good! I would like very much to sit with her, and just share my heart. And would like to try some of her recipes! Will be ordering her book!
Thank you 🙏🏼 you can get a signed copy at theblindgoat.com/shop
I really like your eyes, they express genuineness, kindness and confident at the same time
You guys are so wonderful, glad you won and life treating you well.
lt saddened me to hear about Josh.
Christine, if you read this and speak to his mum and family, please pass on my condolences, he was amazing on the show, his strength and warmth and kindness shone through and he was very likeable.
I wish for his family the very best of health and happiness.
Sometimes life sux.
Oh and your friends reaction to your win made me smile too! Best reactions ever.
Oh yeah coz she can read
lorcan jay
Really? I think it's obvious to everyone that Christine probably has somebody read her comments to her. A little unnecessary to try to call someone down who had such a nice comment.
4mySweetheart369 knowing how good of a sense of humor Christine has, she probably laughed if she read that comment.
kenneth kwon
Too true! Christine is awesome.
The few seconds that I "experienced" Christine's vision, on screen made me really appreciate my ability to be able to see. You take things for granted, but never really realise how fortunate you are. Christine is inspiration to me, she's awesome!
Josh took his life? He had so much going for him. My heart just sank. im crying for him and his family and everyone who ever got to come in contact with that beautiful man.
We need a 10 year version!
I'm glad you mentioned Josh and dedicated the video to him. It's hard to watch the footage of him talking about his dreams for his own cooking school, it would be amazing if one were to be named after him. You're also a huge inspiration; I'm not an aspiring chef, but overcoming self-doubt and excelling in academics and your passions is an amazing accomplishment and that is inspirational to me. I've dealt with vision impairment for twenty years, as a result of amblyopia, and I'm happy you haven't let your autoimmune disease keep you from living a fulfilled life. You're simply brilliant.
Wow I didn't know you had an auto immune illness I got diagnosed with an auto immune illness too my illness attacked my kidneys and brain last time,I felt my whole world had crashed like I could no longer do what I wanted to do but seeing you it has inspired me to chase my dreams I'm still me and not my illness.Before I got sick I wasn't much of a cook but I found now that cooking is an excape I'm not as good as you but good enough to keep my husband happy.Your story has brought me to tears good inspirational tears I wish good vibes in all of your future projects
I remember I cried at that PIE EPISODE. 😂😂~)
still the best thing at Master Chef
Lawless me too and her first dish
Yes! I love to re-watch the judges comments on her beautiful pie!
Best scene XD
Im sorry. But can u tell me what ep is it?
Thương Dương ep 5 bạn nhé
It's been that long?!?!?!

Christine Ha (US) and Eric Chong (Canada) on one picture just made me scream in the middle of the night. My 2 favorite Masterchefs! I binge-watched all of MC Canada seasons and started with the US version after. Totally love it!
Christine, you are an incredibly amazing person. John is a very lucky man to have you as part of his life. I met Gordon Ramsay, briefly, a few years ago. I asked him about you and his reply was "brilliant girl."
Always thought she was beautiful.
Jordan Groff she's cute
Jordan Groff *is😬😌
In Ho Chi Minh there's a restaurant called "Noir", have you heard of it? Guests have to eat in the dark and the staff (waiters/ waitresses) are blind; they guide you to your seats and help you eat. Maybe it could be something that'd fit you if you opened a restaurant. It could be a really interesting experience for Jon, too. Take him there next time you come to Hcm :)
+seighart90 yes I've designed special menus for them but haven't been myself
It would take it to the next level if even the chefs couldn't see also, it would all come down to taste and texture anyway
Or dans le noir in London. Would be a lovely place for a date!

In Malaysia, there’s a restaurant with just that concept: Dining In The Dark.
I always get so excited when someone mentions Vietnam, the 6 years I spent there were amazing
Vish Wah im viet, so what was your favorite food from the country?
xXMithrilDiamondXx it's difficult to pick but my top three would be pho, bun cha and banh bao
Vish Wah I only ate pho and bahn bao lol... Seems like I am not Asian anymore ;_;. Pho is basically a pork/beef/ox soup with noodles and bahn bao is a pork bun.
She is genuinely one of the most incredible people on this planet
Man i dont usually cry when it comes to people's backstory. But I saw season 3. And her audition and her backstory just bought tears to my eyes. I was balling up quietly.And the fact that she won is like god tier.
just finished rewatching your season on masterchef w hasanabi. you’re an inspiration to everyone around you, christine! lots of love from bangladesh❤️
I still have teary eyes whenever I try to remember who was the second- best in Master Chef season 3 and realized that he was gone.
You are a true inspiration. Got my grown black man ass crying over your video clips. Not gonna lie lost it when you cried about the Apple Pie. God Bless you and can't wait to visit your restaurant one day soon.
I’m here in 2021 after watching the entire season just in tears! Such an inspiration and I couldn’t be happier for you….I cried like a baby and ugly tears too during the apple pie episode!
Rip Josh! Heartbroken!
She reminds me of Toph Beifong from Avatar the last airbender. She may be vision impaired, but she’s a badass. Toph, the earthbending badass who invented metal bending and Christine, the absolute badass who defied the odds and cooks like a dream
I was Team Christine from the beginning. I knew you could do it and in the first episode you said it! You were the next Master Chef! You are beyond amazing and such an inspiration. God bless you.
Desiree Dan
Desiree Daniel she deserves to be the master or legendary chef she's like the female yukihira souma in Shokugeki No Soma!
"I'm not here to just be an inspiration, I'm not here just to be a gimmick. I want to win the whole thing"
Paraphrased but that was my favourite quote from you Christine, all the best in your endeavours.
I actually started watching Masterchef on season 3 and was rooting for either you (Christine) or Josh to win it. You both were so charismatic and such fun-to-watch people that I couldn't help but to root for the both of you. When you guys were announced the finalists, I was extremely hyped. It's so sad to hear about Josh's passing. And an even sadder note to think that he might be alive if he won masterchef that season =\.
Life goes on however, hope Christine will dedicate a dish for Josh. That would be such a great homage to him and I would love to visit her future restaurant to try it and any of her dishes whenever it happens!
Tiir
She dedicated the cookbook to him
If it might ease your mind a little. The reason he did it was because he had Schizophrenia, so it was most likely not a decision he would have made in sound mind. Though I do not think winning master chief would have changed that unfortunately.
Dear Christine, thank you very much for mentionning Josh into your video and to dedicate this video to him. Thank you very much also, for being such an amazing source of inspiration, and such a great human being.
I wish you all the best for you and your family
Luca and Christine,the living proofs of determination and inspiration
One of my favorite winners. Up to this day you can see the passion lighted up inside of her, which makes me even more convinced that she deserved it.
I just completed watching masterchef season 3 and instantly become my inspiration to take risk and make my dream come true. Thank you.
Still my favorite season of MasterChef to date.Its absolutely wonderful how well Christine is doing but very sad to hear about Josh's passing.
Christine, you were always a class act on Masterchef, and you carry yourself with even more grace and elegance five + years later. Best wishes for continued success.
from the moment i saw your audition for season 3 i was amazed by everything that you do and been so inspired every time. I told myself, gosh i hope she makes it far! and every week you amazed me more and more and more, getting more excited every time you made it through another week. when you won i jumped with joy and it was so amazing to watch your journey! 😭😭
Thank you! ♥️ Appreciate you sharing
Its sad to hear about Josh
foxy javison it really is tho.....
Josh was a cool dude and I hear this news now... I feel bad.
True, he had lots of potential to be a great chef R.I.P🙏🙏
Josh :'( if you or a loved one is contemplating suicide please reach out for help. You are loved.
foxy javison what happened to him
I'm glad she still keeps in touch with Felix I liked their friendship.
I just finished watching season 10 of Masterchef, and now I'm planning to binge watch season 3. Congratulations on your success in life and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us.
I'm just watching all the masterchief seasons for this first time and everything you made was absolute perfection. It's obvious that you earned the love and respect of the contestants and you are an inspiration to everyone.
🙏🏼
The loss of Josh broke my heart.. I had such high hope for what was to come from him.. The loss of someone I had never known is confusing to me, but none the less we ( the world ) lost a shining star.. Rest in peace big man, you will be a star for many as we continue without you... God bless your family.
I just finished marathoning season 3 since I want to watch all seasons before season 8.
I saw Christine and holy crap that was such a ride. I'm so proud of you, even 5 years later.
Same lol
You're season was by far the most amazing season of masterchef! U guys bonded with each other and its just incredible! You're truly an inspirational person Christine!
I'm still watching it in 2020 and i miss that time seeing you and Josh ❤
i honestly feel horrible about what happened to josh, its honestly sucks that such a gentle giant went down that way, god truly is a cruel person, still despite this being 3 years ago, congrats to you.
IMHO, the "rubbish pie" was your best episode. Today, that "rubbish pie" is one of the best apple pies on earth. My brother has been to your Blind Goat restaurant, and he says that the "rubbish pie" is to die for because it is so good.
Aww awesome!
I JUST WATCHED SEASON 4 EP 11 OF MASTERCHEF WHERE YOU PRANKED THE HOME CHEFS WITH COOKING BLINDFOLDED! THAT WAS A DIRTY TRICK! CRUEL BUT HILARIOUS
Kyoya Seo me too
Kyoya Seo I
That episode was hilarious and what got me to watch season 3. Awesome job, Christine!
*@ChristineHa:* I just saw your video for the first time, it was a Goal Cast video and it brought me to tears! I’ve been working tirelessly for months upon an educational blog that I’m building from the ground up, and I feel so burned out lately as all of my free time has been dedicated to this educational project with my goal being to educate people around the world at no direct cost to anyone. When I watched your video, it renewed me in some strange way because it made me think once again that anything is possible despite having not felt that way during this entire project that I am taking on alone
Two things you said really stuck with me, the first was that “if you don’t try, you have a 0% chance of success” and the second, which I found even more inspirational, was that *“if you cannot see how steep the mountain is, you have nothing to fear”.* Your words about the mountain moved me and may be one of the best pieces of advice I have ever received in my life. I want to say thank you to you for gifting that to me. It feels like you blew oxygen into my flame that was beginning to flicker out. Thank you once again Christine 😊🙌🤩
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
You made so proud being a Vietnamese. You have definitely ignited the flame of passion of culinary in me. Keep rocking Christine!!!
Mrs. Ha is a truly talented, strong, and amazing woman. She deserved that Masterchef win by being an extraordinary chef with such creative dishes so incredibly excuted. Simply an amazing woman. God bless her.
It doesn't seem like I've been watching MasterChef so many years (I watched one or two seasons before Christine won). Christine is still my favorite and most inspirational MasterChef.
Christine, thank you for being an inspiration. You have a beautiful heart & soul that truly shines in all that you do. Also thanks to you & your husband John for sharing your lives. Always wishing you both the best in life , here's to a lifetime of success, happiness , laughter & cherished memories for you both too 😊💖👍🌹.
+Kelly Davison aww Thanks so much
Season 3 was one of my favourites. I am so happy to watch your videos and see where your amazing talents bring you! I didn't know you come to Canada! If you ever come to Muskoka and go to Huntsville, Ontario for the love god go to 3 Guys and a Stove for brunch (weekend only). Everything is from scratch and soooo goooddd.
that footage of your friends and family celabrating at the end was great
I just started to watch the Master Chef season with my héroe Christine , love her so much , what a wonderful , talented human being .
What an eloquent, humble and talented chef. Well done Christine... You are an inspiration to many!
I watched a lot of MasterChef seasons, but I have never before been so attached to the consestants as in 3 season. I really like Josh and Christine, and I was very shocked to know that Josh passed away, I was in tears. I’m really glad that Christine won the season, and honestly she is the cutest and the most adorable woman I have ever seen. It’s a weird feeling, but when I look at her I just want to give her a hug. I probably sound creepy, but I think I’m not alone at this point.
We binged watch MasterChef just to see you. You are an inspiration! There really is no excuse in life, with motivation, perseverance and hard work, you can be anything whi you want to be! I admire your courage! :)

Just an incredibly inspiring young lady Christine is. She is a hero to so many.
🙏🏼
Incredible...brought tears to my eyes and a Smile in my Heart... Thank You... and so sorry to hear of your companion and friend in the Master Chef Competition passing away.
Hi Christine,
I am legally blind since birth ( ROP of Prematurity and optic Atrophy) and I listened to Master Chef when you were on the show and you inspired me to follow my dreams no matter what people say! I get asked all the time “ How can you go that if your Blind? “ people treated me like I couldn’t do anything but I am glad I am independent and learned a lot on my own like cooking etc.
Thank you for your encouragement!

Back to 2010 until early 2012, I didn’t watch Masterchef because I wasn’t a big fan of the show... but when my friend told me that season 3 which was airing in 2012 was amazing, because of YOU.. the inspirational contestant, so i started to watch Every episode of Masterchef US SINCE THEN! And until now i am one of the biggest fan of the show and you! 😃 Thank you for being such a wonderful person and inspiration chef!! God bless you, Christine 😊
+sylvia angelina thank you for sharing 😍
I have recently started watching Master Chef since Covid came. I must say, you are my favorite winner. Your story and your determination were both inspiring and amazing. I was very proud of you when you won Season 3 and claimed that coveted Master Chef apron. I think that Gordon and the other judges and the other contestants had their doubts that you would succeed.....but you proved that IN SPITE of your lack of sight, you can STILL live your dreams and be successful. You showed them all what an amazing Chef you are. You are a hero to me. Congratulations on the success of your book.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Christine, you are an inspiration to millions of people, including me.
Love from India Christine
You are inspirational and keep going
You look so pure god bless you
I first saw you on Facebook literally a week ago I know I’m a late bloomer but I’ve just finished watching the full season tonight as I wanted to see how far you’d go and I must say you really represent “when you put your mind to it you can do it” love you big fan!
you will always be an inspiration to me.
actually, every time i feel that i can do nothing and feel useless,
i go to youtube and watch your video, that challenge where you made apple pie
and watch that all the judge love your apple pie where in the beginning you were not sure about the pie
and you nailed it
every time i watched that video, it gave me a boost of confidence
not to give up, to believe that i CAN do
Thanks for everything, Christine. You have inspired me and a lot of people more than you think you have. This world is blessed to have you with us
+Jihan Putra thank you for this
"I will never give up on my dream. It will come true, whether I am a MasterChef or not"
Goodnight sweet prince
I am from the Philippines.
I watched all the episodes of master chef from the audition of all the contestants with you and that's when I was impressed with you.
and in every elimination there is also the nervousness and I am very happy every time you praise and impress them sister Christine.
I'm 21 years old and have 2 children. Since I started my family, I've tried to learn how to cook because back then I wasn't allowed to cook because I was an only child and I only went to school and studied.
now you are my inspiration to learn more.
I'm so happy that you won even though it's been a few years since you won, I'll never get tired of watching the episode with you and your life over and over again...
congrats sister christine.
Feedback
Season 3 was the best, I mean I watched all the other seasons beforehand and I can say nothing comes close. Thank you Christine, you're such an inspiration.
Ya know you are a huge huge inspiration to me and everyone! It’s a sad thing to loose such a great person. I just finished watching the season and I was thrilled to find that you won. However I loved josh dearly. He was so inspiring, fun, and skilled in what he did.
I remember watching the audition for it and immediately saying, “He’s going to make it to the end” and he did.
I looked up where everyone is now and it absolutely broke me to find what had happened. Josh had people who loved him and he still does, many and many people do! He is an inspiration, just as you are!
I like to keep a list of things I’d like to never forget, wether it’s comprised of people, movies, shows, or places...and you and josh have made such an impact on me, that you bet you guys are on my list ✨❤️
I’m very late on Masterchef series I just finished season 3. I’m so happy you won I was rooting for you the entire time was hard to hold back the tears. You’re an inspiration.
Thanks 👩🏼🍳
Thank you Christine, I’m not into cooking but I’m definitely into inspirational stuff, you’re a huge inspiration to many of us. Thank you once again
The amazing thing was YOU! Seeing you take on each challenge and succeeding, even when it was extremely difficult, was a weekly reminder to try harder, to do better. You are such a bright light and all of the stars were aligned to display your beautiful way with food and your tenacity. A well-deserved win.
Thank you so much!!
That honestly was the best season of MC. You were and are still one of the best winners on the show. Sadly I didn't know you had a YB channel until mid 2016. Glad I subbed thought, always enjoy the videos you two make!
+SonOfAKing Thanks. Glad you found me here
