Gosh I have usually heard the opposite. Most like the Aussie judges much better. The good thing about them is they don't sing their own praises as much as ours do. NZ Masterchef has really got into a "self promotion" kind of show I reckon.

I reckon the judges need to be pretty talented or be really good chefs themselves or else what qualifies them to be the judges.! I don't mind the self promotion if they have the skills and talent to prove it

I have to say that the challenge tonight, so early in the competition, was far more difficult than they were doing here to get into the top 3 or 4! I bet they all wished they had the salmon challenge though, a bit simpler wasn't it.I envy them being in Melbourne, gosh that is almost the food capital of the world.

Even the street food is fabulous and all the ethnic takeaways.

Me too - Melbourne is an amazing place.Each time we go we find a new area, a new restaurant (or 10) to try - if we lived there I would be very, very overweight and very poor!

Yes I agree, however there is the added bonus of Coro on Saturdays nights, then I have to change channels before Judy Bailey comes on! Won't have to tonight though, off out to dinner after Coro, yaY!

Likewise, and not to mention buying all the clothes I don't need at the designer outlet stores!

I still haven't managed to get to the TV each day until the last few minutes.With all this hype I will just have to reorganise next week's schedule.
Am wondering if there are as many cliches in the OZ version.anyone 'gutted' yet!

No evisceration so far, but lots of screeching and capering about.

I have been watching the UK Celebrity Masterchef which was excellent, a really hard fought contest and you would not have know they were 'celebrities' - no dramas, just cooking.

Yes but we have to have dramas to spice up our life. Can't just have "go with the flow" sort of stuff all the time it would be too boring. Maybe I am just a drama queen.

I thought it was quite dramatic when that chap dropped his custard tart!I'm a few episodes behind, but I like it much better than most other food realty shows because the contestants work really hard and there is very little about their personal lives.

I was happy Lisa won. I did originally want Dick to win however since Lisa is the youngest she could probably benefit from winning more than the other two.

It was, I really felt for him when he dropped that.I was struck by how much they wanted to win and there was no prize, other than the trophy.

I wanted all of them to win, they all gave so much - it was an excellent programme.Lisa was so nervous, she just looked terrified but put up some amazing dishes.

Sorry for talking about the final - Australia usually seems to get programmes before us and I assumed (wrongly) that it would have been shown there.

I have just noticed that the celebrity masterchef is still on TV1 so perhaps this is a new series.
