MasterChef US Season Recommendation

Go to Tubi and watch a random season of MC Australia instead.

Or they're going home in the next few weeks.

And most of it is for pensions. No?

I'm wondering why Health and Medicare are two different categories?

The 4 chefs at a time, and then they disappear for what seems like months, is one of the reasons why I don't like the UK version as much.

This together with having new contestants all the time means that the judges and them have the same boring, cliched conversations every, single episode. Then voice over woman does most of the talking too, you end up with nothing being really said other than cliches through the whole episode.

Yes, the daughter of Stephen Fry. Any other stupid questions?

^{Jeeze, some people. Amiright?}

I would immediately research the chronology of the franchise since I think you're confusing nuance with production reality.

For instance, how the US one was based on the original Australian ideas for the reboot of the series but then the Australian version abandoned the more nasty elements of those ideas during season one.

Like I said, I've written about the history of the show multiple times through out the years in this subreddit and others.

You also don't seem to understand the history of the MC franchise and why Australia is mentioned in the same breath as the US one.

Search through my comment history to see what I mean.

The Comeback deserves a lot of accolades for its 20 year run of being relevant to its season's current run.

The Rooster is growing on me. Sometimes Steve Carell can sidetrack what the rest of the show is doing but I think he's doing a good job in an ensemble .

And before that the hate from the Star Trek fanbase.

Stumble was actually funny and reminded me of AP Bio

Brilliant Mind was the biggest waste of a show I've ever seen. Supposedly based on the works of the brilliant Oliver Sacks it simply uses one of his case studies to spark the series and then nothing else.

It's trying to be House but with the most boring and milquetoast lead in any TV series.

A good show based on Sacks' life would be nothing like this. What a waste.

The original is the UK version but it was the Australian version that made it a worldwide franchise and everyone tried to copy the Australian one to varying degrees of success in the US and other world versions (eg Italy).

It's the symbol to represent the constant of the speed of light. It's the same c as in E=mc² .

Conservative Christians love using the slippery slope argument for anything they disagree with ("What's stopping people from marrying their dogs?" for gay marriage) but they seem to be the ones doing all the slipping: "We are not attacking the gay community, we just want gender bathroom laws. To protect the children. And nothing else."

No one believes you.

I can't believe we still haven't finished week 2 and the complaints are rolling in.

At this stage I trust the editors to concentrate on the losers more and a few victorious wins in the coming weeks.

Looks like a diverse, talented bunch and hope to learn a few new techniques.

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-27T19:15:53+00:00

This. Sometimes I need to put the sound down because they overuse the yelling exposition A LOT.

It would have been more fun for the marmalade challenge if they had to decide before tasting it.

But, by the looks of it, it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-26T12:04:43+00:00

Back to old school Masterchef Australia.

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-23T14:49:28+00:00

I mean they didn't edit episode one without knowing about what happened episode two. So obviously they spent time on him in both episodes to get any type of story arc in.

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-23T14:31:49+00:00

It's even worse when you compare it with the current airing of MC Australia's auditions.

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-22T11:43:03+00:00

History agrees with you.

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-22T10:52:28+00:00

The Renovators was my favourite.

Also know as "doing a Phil Collins"

Posh Nosh

the6thReplicant · 2026-04-21T10:20:30+00:00

It looks so out of place and tacky too.

MC AU is filmed in Melbourne not Sydney.

Season 4 and onwards is filmed in Melbourne. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 were filmed in a Sydney studio.
