FYI: The ozzie version is currently at season four.

The Australian version is definitely superior than America's version.

If people haven't done so, I highly recommend people to watch Junior Masterchef Australia. Very inspirational. All the kids have great talent for cooking.

The US version brings out the worst people. The judges are cruel and arrogant as anyone can be, the contestants are pitted against each other. Where as in Australian version, its all about the love of the arts, a shared experience where everyone supports there team mates and the individual, more laughter, tears and great food.

I don't watch reality TV for hugs and high art.

I find the American version of the show to be pretty sensationalized and doesn't actually focus on the cooking that much. The constant voice overs remind me of Hell's Kitchen as well. I love that the Australian contestants (and the professional chefs they're competing against in immunity challenges) will actually step up and help their opponents. Yes, they're competing but they want a fair fight and to know they bested their rival's best performance. I feel that with the addition of the MasterClass shows, you really get the impression that these people are aspiring cooks and not reality show contestants.

I enjoy that show much. Already i have learned some recipes from that show. This show makes my heartbeats up. Really its very enjoyable.

I agree Christine probably gets a sympathy factor for being blind, but mind you I also think she has some skills to backup her position.

This show was surprisingly entertaining, I was hesitant of it at the beginning since Gordon Ramsay was a host on it. Haven't started watching the new season though.

I pouched an egg for the first time this morning after seeing the egg competition. It turned out good (at least in my opinion) I sprinkled some pepper and smoked paprika on top, and placed it on a butter slice of toast. Yum. It makes me want to try new things. Oh, I dig Monti and Felix.

Yeah watching these types of shows always make me want to up my game in the kitchen.

I made green onion cakes today for the first time. YUM

I love this show too. It's my must watch show every week.

Dammit, was this on yesterday? Was it a good episode - worth streaming before tonight's?

It definitely is because you'll have a surprise tonight if you didn't watch.

Spoiler.... they brought back the last 8 eliminated contestants to cook off and one of them won their white apron back

[xlc_88]

Definitely worth streaming or you'll be wondering what happened last episode. Though, it was pretty predictable at the end.

Watched both eps yesterday and am all caught up now. Wow, such tension. I don't see any way that Becky doesn't run away with this whole thing though. Everyone else, even Josh, showed weakness yesterday. David's dish looked absolutely repulsive and I don't know why they kept him over Felix, especially when he proved he could make something so bad even with such an advantage (who forgets the rice for a goddamn rice pudding??) which to me is worse than just having one bad dish like Felix did.

[myversa]

I agreed. I do not know why they keep David over Felix.
