Masterchef AU (Season 3)

Doesn't look like it will be next week - it's something they would have hyped at the end of the last elimination episode. No doubt to make it fair, they'll bring back a few previous contestants and make a challenge out of it so someone will have to win their way back in fairly.

As long as its not a dessert, there is a good chance the person who deserves to come back will come back.

I think I read that they weren't bringing anyone back this year.

Does anyone get the masterchef magazine? Would love to get it, but its too expensive to get it sent across.

Yeah.. but they couldn't have anticipated that someone would be kicked out.

Better to give someone a second chance than be short-changed on contestants in the final week.

Mr E

Yeah saw that.... dun dun dunnnnnnn!

As per our charter:

Don't ask where you can download/stream TV shows or give any links to them. Infact try to stay away from discussion of downloading altogether.

I really enjoyed the immunity episode.
Dani's enthusiasm is infectious. I think she could go all the way.

She this year's Marian.. only more likeable!

Ah no, she's a very solid cook, always very happy and extremely likeable.

Cute too!

EDIT: Although I did know the outcome before it aired.. on Monday night's promo for the big shocker this evening, she was sitting on the couch wearing an immunity pin when Matt Preston was talking! Seems like I wasn't the only one (although I didn't spot her wearing it in that screenshot)!

Mr E

I'm on a half day, so I just watched it.

No frills, he was caught, rules broken, and to be fair to the others, he had to leave.

No ceremony about who they brought back either... they had a contingency plan for situations like this.

Kind of disappointed with the lack of drama, to be honest. Maybe it was deliberate to protect the reputation of the ejected contestant.

So is her crying-it seems to make the whole lot of them cry. Wuzzies!

Also, the "Master" should be taken out of the title. These guys are not Masterchefs.

Still, glad

Peter

is gone.

Mr E

They're not masterchefs - they're amateurs. The winner is the masterchef and deserves the title. You don't bluff your way through a competition like this!

And I was sorry to see

Peter

go.... a very down to earth person.

Yeah, nice guy to be honest!

Although I was glad it wasn't

Dani or Michael

, and also Hayden is very good too.

Mr E

Jesus how ridiculous was Hayden's 'tache?

Great episode today. I'm surprised they didn't give Marcus Samuelsson a credit. He is a bit of a celebrity chef - he was a winner of Top Chef Masters a few years ago and he (and the Red Rooster) are well known in New York.

Looks like the end could be near for

Sun

I know.. even looked like George and Gary had problems in figuring why he would leave that stupid looking 'tache there.

Twas a very enjoyable episode..

Michael

is still my favourite in the competition and I thought his street vendor schtick was superb.

Even the little joke in asking George if he wanted chilli!

May I be the first to say..



Along with

Alana

, she's never struck me as a strong chef. I know they don't get this far without being talented chefs but take

Alana

for example, how many times have you seen her been called out as being a top dish? Once.. possibly? Definitely don't see them winning it.. but I've been wrong before.

I do think the final 5 will be awful tough to call - am hoping

Dani, Michael and Hayden (sans stupid 'tache) are in it though!

Mr E

Another fun episode today.... definitely the toughest challenge by far.

The 'tache is gone, another person I'm not a massive fan of has gone to lockdown,

Ellie

won a challenge (and I was absolutely delighted for

her

).

I'm not sure if you noticed the little dig towards

Sun

at the end - I'm going into lockdown with

Sun

- it's not going to be fun. :)

m.j.w

what channel is this series being shown on and when. i have taped a load of episodes of watch in the morning but just watched them today for the first time and they are the second series.

Basq

Only being shown in Oz right now m.j.w.

Watch will probably have it same time as last year (September / October)

Basq

Been a bit behind for the last few days so caught up tonight..

Thought the "dinner party" episode in New York was superb..

but very unexpected (especially Dani and Hayden being put into elimination, but Michael looked depressed as soon as he presented dinner throughout til the announcement). And just when you thought things couldn't go any worse for Ellie and Alana, they go to the wrong Four Seasons!

And as for the elimination..

** sings **

The sun won't come out tomorrow.. bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be no sun!

Thank God... about bloody time!

It could be the toughest Masterchef Oz to call yet.

Mr E

Ah the sun sets on a week in New York....

Great week (especially the dinner party yesterday).

Dalai Llama on Sunday? Holy moley....

I heard about that a few weeks back..

.. apparently, he can't "judge" them because.. well, he's the Dalai Lama.

(one 'L'.. not like this)


Gonna be an interesting last few weeks.. probably only about a month or so left at this stage.

Mr E

Just watched the Dalai Lama episode. Really uplifting stuff and some great food created.

If

Ellie doesn't use her immunity pin tomorrow, then she is a moron.

Also got confirmation that this is the 3rd last week. That puts the finale on Sunday August 7th.

Pigwidgeon

Just found this online the other day, online 12 episodes in so far so I've a good bit of catching up to do! I like the changes they've made so far anyway.

Although the old theme song was much better!

Mr E

Just one week to go.

Absolutely delighted that

Alana

got through. She'll be in the finale for sure (I'm guessing against

Michael

).

Dani

, as likeable as she is, has been making lots of silly mistakes for the last couple of weeks.

Mr E

Well that's that.
All over for another year.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the first half, but the second half was great. That dessert looked stunning.

Kdylass

Do you know whats happening with Season 2 on Watch - they seem to have stopped showing it - I've become addicted and have serious withdrawal issues...

Basq

Was away for the weekend so only got a chance to watch the finale last night.. it was very good (and congrats to

Kate

) although I would have

preferred Michael to win - the guy started off as being a relatively good cook but really came into his own mid-way through

.

The one thing that bothered me about the final was (and it may have just been me) they said

they loved Kate's dish but they seemed to absolutely "wax lyrical" about Michael's dessert (the silky smooth meringue etc) and yet Kate got more points

. It's just seemed a little off!

Anyways, enjoyable year and a massive gaping hole left in my viewing schedule now.

Mr E

Yeah I noticed that too. Based on the reviews that they got at the end, I was thinking "

Michael

is going to win."

Strange alright.

Maybe that was the point though.. to keep you guessing... that it could go either way.

Strange!
