Just seen that this is starting on Monday 29th August at 8pm on Watch. Love this show so much! The British one is crap in comparison. DD and I watch this together every year - can't wait :)

Excellent! Thank you Smile

Love Aus Masterchef. It's better than the BBC Masterchef by miles mainly as it doesn't have that absolute twat Gregg Wallace in it

Titsywoo · 16/08/2016 12:51

I believe they are swapping Heston Blumenthal for Nigella this year too but keeping Marco Pierre White - not sure why they have so many British guest judges? Last year I found out who had won before I even started watching (stupid spoiler when googling the start date on UK tv) so was very careful not to open the wiki page this time Grin

Thanks, love it!

Titsywoo · 16/08/2016 12:52

Urgh yes I hate Greg Wallace but John Torode isn't much better with the stupid way he eats (like he is a baby and his arm belongs to his mother and she is doing 'the aeroplane' to get him to eat his greens!).

Great. Looking forward to it.

ellenanora5 · 16/08/2016 13:09

Thanks for that, I love it, still watching MKR at the moment, better free up some space on the planner Smile

CiderwithBuda · 16/08/2016 13:21

Ellennora - same here! We are actually fairly caught up on MKR but I'm away for a few nights from Thursday and DH won't watch it without me so it will build up again.

Love Aus Masterchef. So much better than the uk one. I was in Aus last year and ate at a restaurant run by a finalist of the year before (Tracy Collins) and met her as she knew the friend who took me. Was so excited! And then went to Maggie Beer's place for coffee and cake. Her restaurant not her house! Bought a signed book and watched a cookery demo which unfortunately wasn't done by Maggie although she does sometimes do them.

ellenanora5 · 16/08/2016 16:09

You lucky thing CiderwithBuda, brilliant experience Grin

I love Maggie Beers, she always seems so lovely and caring to everyone.

We have a thread for MKR but there might be spoilers sometimes, so have a look if you want when you are all caught up.

Titsywoo · 17/08/2016 21:41

What's mkr? I'm just watching the American finale and they are both a bit crap. Glad I didn't watch this one.

Ohhh ... I've been fretting about catching this sone thank you OP 😀 It's definitely the best Masterchef series

PotteringAlong · 21/08/2016 21:31

Thank you thank you thank you!

Love MasterChef Australia!

Davros · 21/08/2016 22:44

We've been waiting to find out the date so thank you.
Sorry folks, but I love UK MC, it's just different and one must remember that it's on the BBC so much smaller budget

Titsywoo · 28/08/2016 20:03

Oops just seen that it starts at 7.30 tomorrow not 8!

OP posts:
Davros · 28/08/2016 22:21

So looking forward to it.

FreeButtonBee · 28/08/2016 22:31

I ADORE master chef Aus. It's the best and has seen me through 2 long long mat leaves. DH is now well into it too. Can't wait!

GrimDamnFanjo · 29/08/2016 10:11

Love this! I spend every Summer avoiding spoilers. George and his mum, Matt and his cravats. So much better than our version.

Buscake · 29/08/2016 10:15

Thank you for this thread OP! I have been waiting for it to come back but didn't want to google in case of spoilers. I know bbc masterchef is on a much smaller budget, but everything about aus masterchef is just better! So excited about this Grin

StepAwayFromTheThesaurus · 29/08/2016 10:22

DH and I saw them filming Australian masterchef on location (in the place they take the contestants to, I won't give away where) in April.

PurpleDaisies · 29/08/2016 10:23

Checking in! My favourite to cooking programme by far...

PurpleDaisies · 29/08/2016 10:24

TV not to.

PinkissimoAndPearls · 29/08/2016 10:31

I'm so excited! My teenagers actually willingly come and sit with us to watch it. I buy Ben and Jerrys ice cream too. We even have a whatsapp family group set up to discuss it.

Sunnymeg · 29/08/2016 12:05

Time for Masterchef Australia bingo methinks

Davros · 29/08/2016 13:28

They've still never explained what happened to Matt Moran (was that his name?)
