Masterchef Australia 2013

[Sunnymeg]

It's back, beginning on 15th September on WATCH. This year should be interesting as apparently they have made changes to the format that didn't' go down too well with viewers. Anyway I'm looking forward to spending time with George, Gary and Matt for the next few months.

[Wolfcub]

I'm actually feeling sorry for Kelty

[Icelollycraving]

I watch the morning repeat. What's happened?

[Ellenora5]

I do to Wolfcub, I hate throwing the word bully around but when Totem said he was their sidekick or something (sorry I can't remember exactly what) I thought that was out of order, and him and the other two think they are top dogs. I posted that I'm not loving this series at all and to be honest tonight has just confirmed it, also I still don't get what happened with Andrew, surely he had those injuries when he joined, I don't see how it made a difference all of a sudden and your one with the hip injury was walking and driving so I don't get that either.

[PseudoBadger]

Definite bullying I think :(

[Icelollycraving]

I really like Kelty. Think he seems like a really nice guy,don't get the dislike.

[LIZS]

Think they should bring back the version where they stabbed each other in the back after a team failure, Apprentice style. They clearly picked Kelty to be the fall guy if they failed and it seems the animosity is mutual.

[Wolfcub]

all I can say watching this evening's episode is that karma is a bitch

[Ellenora5]

It is Wolfcub, serves them right, I was thrilled Kelty pulled it around, bet they won't be so smug in the next few rounds, Matt had the measure of him though, and I'm glad Nicki is gone, didn't like him at all

[FreeButtonBee]

Agree with you two. Kelly amuses me now after his initial Irish food butchery - his pasta was excellent in the end good for him.

Nicky pissed me off from day one, glad to see the back of him. I want Vern gone too, he is so up himself. Don't mind totem so much although his big fail with the sour cream pastry marked him out as happy to pass the buck to someone else which I don't like.

[getdownshep]

Go Kelty!
Wish Gary or George had pointed out how good his dish was though, just to rub it in. Vern to go next, too over confident as Noleen pointed out.
Jules is also annoying me!
Not keen on any of them this year tbh.

[LIZS]

Kelty isn't much of a team player though. Totem was really wasteful and is clearly on George's radar.

[Wolfcub]

oh god I think I'm developing a crush on Matt Preston

[Icelollycraving]

That is a step too far wolf

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

My neighbours are having their drive paved, and one of the blokes doing it is the dead spit of George Calombaris - look, mannerisms, everything! It is so freaky.

[LIZS]

Totem to go !

[Davros]

I'm still way behind but planning on a MCA feet soon. I also miss and delete the masterclasses

[LIZS]

[Icelollycraving]

So glad he's gone,irritating smug little toad.
Is anyone else baffled by how they had loads to do with 10 mins to go but still served all the dishes?

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

I am, Icelolly - to be honest, I thought it was an unrealistic amount to ask them to do in 2 hours.

I was also surprised at how quickly George lowered the boom on Totem - usually they spin it out much longer, to raise the tension and keep us guessing - but this time it was just 'wham'!!

I was also a bit unimpressed with the dishes - if I had gone out to a famous restaurant, I would be a bit disappointed with just those dishes to choose from, and no dessert. I suppose they must have advertised it as a special, tasting menu, so people had some idea that they weren't getting an ordinary menu to choose from.

[Icelollycraving]

I think they gave them more time for sure. No one was ready. Think they were pleased to get rid of him so didn't stretch it out. A bit like screechy Clarissa!
Yes,they'd obviously advertised it like that. No restaurant has a queue like that.

[AnotherWorld]

Anyone watching this Masterclass - George's hands are shaking whilst he's cooking. Anyone have any clue? Hope it just nerves and nothing else.

[Retrieverlady]

Hopefully someone can help with this question - we somehow missed the elimination episode in Italian week when they had to cook food the colour of the Italian flag. I don't want to google in case I find out who won the series. Can anyone tell me what happened?

Matt's fashions are the best ever in this series, I must say. I'm very surprised that Matt Moran hasn't been on, he usually pops up all the time.
We are all big supporters of Kelty, not because we think he's good but because we like an underdog (last year it was Beau)
My money's on Lynton to win.

[LIZS]

Six of them from the team which failed the challenge before (pizza restaurant) got allocated a choice of ingredients from one of the colours . 2 worst were one who made pizza dough again , having flunked it once already with not enough time to prove dough properly, and a bland cobbled together meatballs in tomato pasta effort with no onion, herbs etc. Meatballs lost. Unfortunately can't recall their names !

[NoPhoto]

Faiza left, after producing shite meatballs. Nahla was also in bottom two with unrisen pizze dough.

[Davros]

I want Lynton to win, what a lovely man he sounds/seems. I also like Emma and I like Jools too. Warming to Kelty, thinking of him as a nice idiot rather than just an idiot! I'm still way behind, Nicky just left in my world (good)
