I record it so that I can skim over the emotional bits. You would think that half the applicants belonged to some New Age church and might faint when the great George et al speaks to them in tongues.

However it looks like they've stepped it up a notch in the quality of the Chosen Ones. It's so multicultural now, but like MKR - will a new Australian ever win the coveted cash?

Having Shannon Bennett as their celebrity chef is a big turnoff. Any multimillionaire who sticks his finger up at his little unpaid creditors doesn't deserve the accolade that's given to him on Masterchef. That's how the rich stay rich. Don't pay anyone.

Hopefully they'll drop him if a 2019 show ever goes to air.

you do know they replay the next day dont you mantra.......yes all that screaming and yelling is a bit over done... and I do wonder how the judges taste buds stay true when they taste so many confusing things one after the other.....but lets hope its an interesting ride...

I do have a serious problem with both shows to be honest and thats the sheer waste of food.....

I am a total dead loss when it comes to time....how they do everything in a hour I will never know....

I am looking forward to it all the same..

I hate the waste of food too. When I had Foxtel I used to watch the UK Masterchef, which in my view was a far superior show, but very modest compared to the Australian version. Food was used carefully and economically. There wasn't the extravagance and waste we see on the Australian Masterchef. This waste would be very offensive to those people who are struggling to put basic food on the table for their families.

Yes - it was only shown a few weeks ago - so after Masterchef was produced and before it came too air - too late to do anything to get rid of him. I've never thought much of him, but the way he treated those hard working people who supplied him with the essentials to run his business and home was disgusting. He came across as a nasty and arrogant person who believed he was so important that he was entitled to a free ride.

I didnt like the British one at all... I didnt watch it for long so didnt really notice the food angle but I didnt like their format at all....I think they only had two judges didnt they??....

never seen the American version but did watch a few American food shows when in Copenhagen and they were awful.....it was a bit like watching a Japanese Game show... bizarre...lol
