FOX TV schedule (May 6-12): Farmer Wants a Wife, Next Level Chef, and Grimsburg season finales
By Sabrina Reed
FOX is gearing up to premiere four season finales this week: Next Level Chef, Farmer Wants a Wife, Grimsburg, and Animal Control. Of course, that means that viewers are in for the conclusion to a heated competition on one of Gordon Ramsay's hit cooking shows, hearts to be broken out in the country, a ridiculous mystery, and an upend investigation.
More reality series are also nearing their ends. MasterChef Junior's semifinal round will see the chefs attempting to recreate famous duck dishes by Ramsay himself. So You Think You Can Dance's contestants are expected to get narrowed down to the Top 4. And The Masked Singer is set to air its quarter finals. Talk about a tense week!
But, of course, if you need to unwind and laugh, FOX's animation block has you covered. On The Simpsons, Homer will be up against "tipping culture" and The Great North will include an investigation into a woman whose grave is simply marked "Wife." For a closer look at the schedule, featuring episode synopses, keep reading!
