I liked it, but then again I have not seen UK masterchef so probably don't know the good stuff. Is like idol but actually has a substancial subject behind it. Music business is mostly spin and looks, these people are actually being judged on hard work and their efforts to cook. And there isn't any gay or mean judges, so don't paic. There is a brit there but he's pretty good.

Format should have been 5 daily 1 hour shows with 1 winner, then the 5 winners come back on Sunday with a live cook-off where the winner progesses to the final week. Have 6 weekly winners before a viewers choice 7 person wildcard playoff held over a week eliminating 1 per day (viewer's choose the 7, judges eliminate). Then have a Grand Final week with a 2 hour 3 course meal live cook-off finale, with the winner to take the big prize and another viewer's choice winning a smaller prize.


That sounds too simple doesn't it!
 
Watched it last night and it wasn't too bad. I thought it was going to be worse. Will be interesting to see what the top 50 cook in the next round, because i would imagine that most of the people that get through would have only mastered one dish and that would have been the one they got through with. Will be interesting.
 
Horrible. Really boring. Masterchef UK is about the food. This one is about the contestants, the usual human interest nonsense. What's with that judge doing a Mark Holden and storming out to tell the people waiting to audition to pick up their game? 'None of you are any good, but cook better. Immediately!'

Nah, it's rubbish... just like idol.

Had a good laugh at about 10 minutes in tonight. Some bloke walks in and starts to cook (not very well). Judge - "so what's your family situation". Bloke - "well, I have a wife and young son, but my wife's a bit sick at the moment, she has cancer". Cue bloke's eye's welling up, Cue sympathy from judges, cue sad slow piano in the background, cue pictures of wedding, cue one judge saying no, cue two judges saying yes, cue "you're going to Sydney", cue me heading for the remote.
 
I've watched about 15 mins of this pathetic "So You Think You Can Dice" show, and had to turn it off because it annoyed the hell out of me.

The British version of Masterchef might sound boring to the average 14 year old but it works because it's about the food and the pressure the contestants are under.

This is just typical Ch 10 tripe, that has taken a great concept and dumbed it down to infinity.

With UK Masterchef, in the preliminary rounds they have groups of 6 people per episode. First part is the 'creation' test, where they have the same set ingredients and have to create a dish. 3 people get eliminated at this stage.

The 2nd part is the remaining three do a lunch service at a random restaurant where each looks after one dish on the menu. Noone is eliminated at this stage

Final stage is where the three contestants create their best 2 course menu

The winner is chosen after that and goes through to the next round

Following rounds are similarish in structure but a bit more involved (contestants do a double shift at a restaurant, usually breakfast and dinner, to see how they go with a 18-20 hour work day).

As others have said, its all about the food. Really shouldnt be called Masterchef the Aus one. Ill put a hunge on Marcia Hines being a guest judge at some point, in a cross promotion for the upcoming Idol series.

I didn't mind it, have only seen snippits from the UK Masterchef and even then it was late in the season so don't really know how it works.

But I will give the show more of a go as the whole 'audition' thing is usually only for a few laughs anyway, once the more serious stuff comes in it should get a bit more interesting.
 
I like the show.

Did anyone notice Coutrney last night from Make Me a Supermodel???

There was a quick shot of her in the room. I think she was there as family of one of the contestants. Haha, I watch too much TV:o
 
It is sort of growing on me but they need to get rid of the Oz Idol/personal stories behind the scenes crap.

Let it be about cooking.
 
These sap stories are ridiculous, complete ruins the show when every second person comes in crying about how hard their life is. Some of their attempts to create suspense are cringe worthy as well.

The vegetarian girl was cute, but she has a massive sook about the pot of meat later. Vegetarians are about as cool as genital warts.

Shoulda kept the road kill guy on as well :)

I'm starting to agree now, last night was bareable, tonight was just ****ing insane!

If I EVER go on one of these shows, I'm shaving my mums head and telling everyone she has cancer(Then have a bit of a teary), sure fire way to make it through, some of the ****en means looked deplorable, not to mention undercooked(Calamari bloke), you get ONE chance to show your best and if the best is some undercooked piece of shit of a meal, then why the **** are they going through???

I was actually considering auditioning for this series, chose not to because I am not one of those wanky blah, blah, blah with a blah, blah, blah sauce or some shit on it, but I really do think I would've made it through in a second compared to some of the shitkickers they let through with a simple sob story, pisses me off!

Just hope now that we are into the challenges that we get a more food orientated show and not wanky crying orientated direction.

Agree with the Vego chick, she looks good, but FFS tomorrow will be annoying watching her whinge over a bowl of bolognase(sp?), simple fact is, she said that she is fine with cooking meat, but you need to taste test to know what it's like, otherwise you could be sending something out that is underseasoned or overseasoned and ends up tasting like shit, she won't make it past the next elimination.

Cracked me up.....

HAHA, I know, how do peas not taste like peas? I mean, I know he pureed them with some other shit, but seriously about 90% of it would've been pea(Saying that is funnier than writing it BTW).
