Masterchef Australia 2021 on W

[LIZS]

Can't see another thread so far. Started on Monday apparently, has anyone watched so far? There don't seem to be any repeats to catch up next day either.

I love the upbeat nature and diverse ethnicity of Australian Masterchef. An excellent programme to watch in Covid times.

Annoying they don't have the usual 7am repeat as easier to record that which doesn't clash with many other shows around 8pm.

I’m watching! Skipped the first two episodes-just too many cooks. Think the eliminated contestant this week was the right decision.

I find Masterchef Australia far superior to the others - higher cooking standards and great characters

I'm watching but usually a few episodes behind! I've always loved the Aus one (and the US one) but it's definitely veering a lot more to the emotional X factor "I'm doing this for my nonna" side, which irritates me

Just cook the bloody food without sobbing!!

Does anyone know what happened to George Colombaris (sp?) after the whole scandal?

Omg ! Ok there goes another who knows how many hours of my life !
Enjoy this and liked the new judges last season.also skip the first several episodes until it settles. Don’t tend to watch the masterclasses and some of the more forced team challenges (or fast forward some). Bloody love the invention tests.
Thanks Op for the alert !

Oh yes the ‘nonna’ factor has blown up astonishingly in recent years.

Does anyone know what happened to George Colombaris (sp?) after the whole scandal?

I think he's taking some time out.... He had closed the Press Club and he wasn't involved with the truly dire imho Plates of Origin (or whatever it was called?) I darent Google for more in case I spoil myself!

If you are looking for scandal then there's a video out there of George going for someone who insults him at a sports event.
Matt Preston drags him away!

I'm watching but well behind. Nonnagate is getting on my tits. You can already see favouritism as usual (Elise) and SO many Gaysians!

It's a very easy drinking game too.
I'm waiting for the seasons special equipment to be identified, hibatchi grill, blast chiller etc
Will we make it to Maggie Beers farm?

We're definitely seeing Maggie Beer, COVID allowing

I love this programme. They are always so nice to each other. It's a real feel good show.

It's a real highlight every autumn. I'm really hoping that we will see them cooking outside the studio.

Love Masterchef Australia! I very sadly don’t think we’ll see Maggie Beer any more, since the ‘refresh’ and new presenters. Seems that Alla Wolf-Tasker stepped into those shoes this series.
