I like Masterchef better than the other cooking comps.
Great way to start this season rather than the mass single tasks they used to do.
Now every hopeful contestant gets 1 hour to cook a dish tasted by the 3 judges.
With second chance contestants cooking for a blind tasting.
24 contestants get an apron. 
What a great episode tonight.
Good food, good cause and good results.
Well, this I didn't expect -
Spoiler
Sashi through to finals. I really thought he would be one of the next 3 to go.
I was just thinking- if you look over the series as a whole, who are some of the people they have shown a lot making comments.
Sashi has been shown consistently right through the series. Maybe that is partly because he is lively and entertaining, but I have a theory it is like The Bachelor show & if they fly under the radar on screen, then they are for the chop somewhere along the line.
The ones who seem to have been shown fairly regularly making comments are (as far as I can recall) Sashi, Jess, Reece and Khanh.
Ben not so much.
Another close call for Jess.
Disappointed Reece is gone before Ben n Chloe.
The ignorance n youth in Jess showed to not be able to distinguish feta cheese, lol.
Top 5 with finals week coming up.
Sashi deserves his place in the finals, he has been consistently good throughout the series.
Whether he will win or not I don't know. He has his weaknesses, but then, they all do.
I'm not hearing much about how he wants to open a food shop so that's a worry.They like to pick rising stars.
As for feta versus parmesan. Yes, feta is soft and crumbly, it is strange Jess would say parmesan as we often seem to see a bit of parmesan grated over some of the dishes. Maybe not hers though. There are obviously gaps in her repertoire but then again, at 19 I was lucky if i could make much more than soup & sandwiches.
Her last 2 cooks have not been winning level though.
How Ben got this far has surprised me. He always seems a bit bumbling.

Ben seems to be all good looks and not much else!! He seems to be always going for elimination but seems to get through.
Mind you, my cooking skills are not good on a brilliant day, so I really should not critisise others.
I'm pretty much the same, but we're allowed to be picky when it's a TV show.
Most probably if we went to Ben's house for dinner, we would all be super impressed. Any of their houses, for that matter.
Having to rush around under the glare of lights & TV cameras, in a strange kitchen without recipes and under pressure has the potential to make anyone look a bit silly, I guess.
