to hate the new masterchef

[AuntiePickleBottom]

wy did they mess around with a classic and turn it into a xfactor type audition

I glanced at the Australian one and hated it. I hope their not going to do all that red team vs blue team crap like the Aussie version. I didn't bother to watch second episode. Didn't like all the soppy relatives standing around either.. I could go on...

oh it's annoying

i don't want to see people's rellies, i don't want all that emoting, it makes me feel ill

grrrrrr

If I see anyone else smearing a coloured blob artfully across their plate, I'm gonna hurt somebody

Sigh... bring back the old Lloyd Grossman version with ordinary people cooking for dinner parties.

Why in heaven's name do these people want to work in a professional kitchen ....Madness

why do they do that putting a fat blob on the plate then get their utencils and change it to an artful "poo stripe" along the crockery?

If I see another chef paint a plate with food that you can't eat I'm going to have another Pepparami.

P.S. Greg is a perv, his ex wife told me so.

It looks exactly the same as the diabolically bad German version (shudder...) I saw a couple of episodes when I was there last summer. It was very tacky, frankly awful, and I remember saying to dh, 'Thank God the British version isn't like this!' Spoke too soon!

Nobody would enter if the following were banned:

Black pudding
Cod loin
Venison
Scallops
Minted pea puree
celeriac
pancetta

care to add anymore?

Its the trolley push of shame I can't stand. As they shuffle off, heads hanging, weeping into their pans...

WhinyTinker - you forgot to mention the ubiquitous chocolate fondant...

I rather liked one of the reviews in the paper that said "Greg: you're not Simon Cowell; you're Humpty Dumpty."

Utterly dreadful new format. How dare they. I used to love the 6 in the kitchen ingredients test and the mad things some of them served up.

Yes and shut up bloody families with all the wailing. Like the Humpty Dumpty comment.

loved the old format, but quite like the new one too...

I'm just glad it's back in some form!!

you can still tell the shite cooks from the could be good ones!

it's rubbish- i'm gutted

Can't believe they changed everything but KEPT bloody India Fisher

I quite like this format - I loved the Australian one and am engrossed in the New Zealand one (which has hysterically up-themselves Kiwi gourmets as judges).

I think the format needed a change tbh. I like the trolley pushing like lame-arsed Ryanairs stewardesses. I cannot stand however the emotive music and 'tension'.

I do love John Torode.

Oh yes India Fisher 'Steeeeeve is seeeeerving pan friiiieeeed liver with a sauternes velooooote'

Should get the bloke that does CDWM to do the voice overs..

"wy did they mess around with a classic"

Classic?

Ye Gods!

I thought it had always been a boring bog standard cookery programme.

And they´ve made it worse?

How is that possible?

That bloke from Come Dine with Me should do ALL the voiceovers.

Royal Wedding commentary
Party Election results

He would add a certain gravitas.

I don't think it's that bad. Actually I quite enjoyed it. I thought it was getting a bit samey and they needed to do something different.

Why on earth would anyone want to go back to the days of Lloyd Grossman?

I also like the junior version.

What gets me is the build up of it being 'people's dream' It's not like Master Chef is the only way one can become a professional cook. Anyone and everyone can easily pursue that career if they want to.

You know the voice-over woman is also the voice of the useless self-service checkouts in Tesco. The ones that can't cope with bags in the bagging area...

yes GetOrf - think he's called Dave Lamb. Sarcastic commentary would definitely help!

I loved the Aussie one - the masterclass sessions actually taught me useful stuff.
The New Zealand one is hysterical (we are secretly hoping for FergBurger to get an appearance).
And UK - hmmm - another vote for banning family and PUNCHING VOICEOVER LADY. I'll still watch it though, as I have no life.
