I’d never seen Masterchef until this week and now I’m hungggrrrry for it.
I fast forward through all the cooking and crying and crises to the tasting bit when Greg Wallace (he’s got a head that looks like it’s been peeled) and John Torrode put a food loaded fork into their exceptionally large gobs and, without any inhibitions, make the sort of noises men usually only make with their trousers down.
I don’t watch it as moreoften than not the food looks like something the dog threw up. I used to watch it with the “sauce man” – can’t remember his name for the life of me! You either need to eat more to satisfy your lust for food or try rustling up your own creations or even applying for the next series? I make a mean bowl of porridge with a chopped banana – woud that qualify me?
It has become a caricature of itself – there have been too many series, and too many variations – Masterchef; Masterchef Down Under; Celebrity Masterchef; Soapstars Masterchef Maximum R’n'B Creations… OK, I may be making one or two up there, but it does seem that no sooner does one series end than another begins. And, believe me, cookery just ain’t as important as those contestants (and the judges) would have you believe.
I’ve watched so many series of Masterchef, I’m over it now. I do like Greg though, he’s positively poetic about puddings!
Not only when one serries is over but there are soooooo many repeats. And as for the ‘tastings’ I feel positively ill when I see them shovel the food in their mouths.
I might watch it in the future if they change the presenters and the format.
Give me Ainsley any day!!!
Funnily enough, I watched Masterchef for the first and only time last week (the one with the final three aprons being doled out) and loved it. Well, not enough to remember to watch it again, but I enjoyed all the pan-frying. I particularly enjoyed watching a man making his own puff pastry – has he never heard of Jus-rol?
Julie, sounds like you’d be happy living with the three bears!
Karen, Greg is very shiny and happy.
Ginny, Ainsley gives me the creeps – he is verging on the maniacal.
Pauline, we have lost our Masterchef virginity together!

Mike, there should be a Writer Masterchef and you would be a contender, for sure!
