Master chef America

[Davros]

Anyone else watching? I wish they'd got someone other than Gordon Ramsey, they love him. Boring and predictable choice

[ellenanora5]

I was going to watch Davros but I can't stand Gordon Ramsey, I also gave up half way through Australia masterchef, it was very tedious I thought, the same people being highlighted every show and winning every challenge, and I never saw so much crying on tv as I did on that

[LIZS]

Don't have the stamina for weeks of GR. Are there really no iconic US chefs?

[Davros]

You would think so and we could be introduced to someone new. It only watched half so far, shit cooking and brutal judges, quite enjoying it!!

[EverythingisonmyMurtaughlist]

I'm loving it! Can't believe they don't even get to keep the aprons! can't stand Gordon Ramsey though...he honestly thinks he's the Simon Cowell of the chef world

[Emochild]

I wasn't going to watch because I can't stand GR

But.....

The pull of master chef was just too strong!

[munkisocks]

I like GR! Must just be me haha. Don't like that other judge, Joe bastianich. Why does he just taste and walk away after giving them a death stare? Was laughing at GR saying to them after first round "take what you've learned and put it to good use". They've only learned to cut up a chuffing onion!

[Davros]

I like GR but us like to see someone different. The death stare is common in MC Aus and NZ. Tonight's was brutal

[Buscake]

Just catching up on last nights now. Realised that this is actually pretty old, GR told that woman her plating was old fashioned "this is 2010"

[Davros]

I noticed that, very disappointing

[winkywinkybumbum]

Didn't watch the episode but did he not mean the plating was 2010?

[winkywinkybumbum]

Nope, you are right. That's shit.

[Davros]

Anyone else watching tonight? Am I the only one shocked that they put the live crabs straight into boiling water?

[munkisocks]

No I'm shocked too but not as shocked as watching Slim butcher hers ALIVE!

[Davros]

Yes, that was horrific. No mention at all of treating them humanely except by Shetaal (?) and she was seen as a freak!

[Davros]

Has anyone else kept up with it? What a fucking joke, the food was so naff and they didn't seem to have learned ANYTHING! The winner was a fix!!! Grrrr

[Buscake]

I'm still watching but can't say I'm actually enjoying it! Just starting the season 1 finale - cook an apple pie and a chop? It all looks very amateur, and I agree they haven't learnt anything. In the Australian and UK versions they do significantly improve as it goes along, but these ones? It's a joke really. Worth continuing with season 2? Or did you give up??

[NathalieM]

UK versions is far superior, but I personally love Gordon Ramsay! Wish he'd be on the English version alongside good old Gregg!

[Davros]

I have kept going with the second series as the judges (especially at the beginning) are brilliant. That was my beef with the first series, no-one learnt anything or progressed

[Davros]

Anyone else still watching? I LOVE Ben Star!!....,,,,
