Not sure I like this new format. .it's gone down the route of the Aussie one and they bought it off us and fiddled with the way it was done...

their elimination process is not based on performance over a period of time but on one test and the worst of each test goes even if they have been really good over a period of time and just had one mishap.. 

Will wait and see how our new one goes.. first two shows bored me rigid tho .. preferred  last seasons format to this one
Mount Olympus *Olly*
Hey Triggs   I'm good ta.. hope you are too?      


Yep.. anything that spins the series out long works for me.   I'm still just the first episode's cook off... I'm backing Polly (and i love the carpenter guy that got through earlier)


Edit now I've watched.... glad Polly got through... don't like the guy that got through - bit smug and pompous for me.

I like that too, Katerina - I'm assuming that this will come when the competition proper starts with the chosen 20?    I'm just seeing the early shows as a bit of added stuff.  I hope that's how it'll be anyway.

I hope it gets better......the competition starts properly tomorrow night.

Didn't like tonight's show much, the high pressure is a turn off for me, the way they have to walk with their plate to the judges, and then take it away again.
The blue and black in the scenery is off-putting, I preferred the orangey, warm tones of the last series.
And the crying........jeez did they put raw onions in their mics or something?!

At the moment it's way too X Factor/Pop Idol. But hope it improves tomorrow when the contestants have to cook for the previous Masterchef champions.

Katerina I agree with you - he was trying to be a bit "Gordon Ramsay" wasn't he? Didn't suit him.

They've messed with the format too much - why they've changed it, I've no idea.

 Ah, now I've never watched the professional series of Masterchef but I might now that I know he is involved 

He just seems a lovely, patient man.

I agree about the orange cake

I don't think I could cook under that amount of pressure... all their dishes were presented immaculately too
