It's a quiet holiday week on Fox. Thanks to the Fourth of July holiday landing on a Tuesday this year, much of the network's primetime programming has been given some time off during the week of July 3. That includes Wednesday's two foodie shows, MasterChef season 13 and Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars, which will air repeats on July 5 before returning with new episodes on July 12.
This is the second week that MasterChef season 13 and Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars have been repeats. Since summer is relatively quiet, and with the writers strike still ongoing, it's possible that Fox wanted to stretch out their summer lineup by mixing in a few repeats around the Fourth of July holiday when many TV viewers are out of town on vacation.
