Masterchef tonight

Took the missus by surprise whose also an addict, (and also watches master chef austrailia).

Ah well, gives me some peace and quiet

Have to watch it on iplayer now lol - missed it

No spoilers please !

Master Chef Australia rules! I watch every minute of it.
It makes our (uk) poor effort at a show look completely dismal and dreary - no wonder people from overseas think the British are a bit... rigid?
John and Gregg are really likable but why on earth is it that the BBC not see this and give it a fair shot at the Aus version rather than just Jazz up the kitchens and judging methods..

When they first changed it, it was slated in the UK - Which makes perfect sense if you had never seen the Aus version. BBC need to really put out on this show as they are really being left behind.

New Zealand did a version (New Zea landers are very interesting people, a few tongue in cheek moments) even their show beat ours...

I half watch the UK show while doing other things and only as a fan of John and Gregg. Without them I'd probably not watch, really I don't think the audience get the same coverage time to connect with the stories of the contestants as with the Aus show (shame)

*And there is some cooking too

Who owns it, is it an Australian franchise? Assumed it was American

I thought that Master chef was British.
Originally it was Loyd Grossman teaching us all how to cook, then it became a cookery version of Xfactor sometime in the 90's (I think)

BBC probably sold it off - probably why they host such a poor series, sour grapes
