Masterchef 2020

Anyone watching it ?

Great to see some earlier faces and good memories.

I always liked Jess, Callum, and Reynold.

Very smart to have Gordon Ramsay kick it off seeing as the old judges are no longer with the show.

Looks like some interesting recipes to start off with.

No immunity pin. There was only one for the series and Dani took it home with her.

Poh has immunity from this week's elimination, then she's back in the mix.

[*tippy*toes*]

Ahhh ok, I did actually wonder about that, because I don't recall them sticking a pin on her. That makes perfect sense now.

Awww, I love Katy Perry and thought she was adorable - just me?

I also like Poh, but thought 75 mins to not cook something was just dumb and

unacceptable.

I though Sarah Tiong should have won it.

When is the red headed rockabilly going?   The other Sarah.

She doesn't seem to do much of anything.

Reynold seems to be slipping, and I think he's brilliant.

When is the red headed rockabilly going?   The other Sarah.

She doesn't seem to do much of anything.

Remember she was like that in her first appearance ? Always scraping through in the wings, no personality in her cooking.

Reynold will shine again, so will Jess and Callum. 

[imastawka]

Not so sure about Callum this year.

I love Jess, she always does well, for such a young 'un

Gotta chuckle....Sarah Clarke (red hair) has a son called Elvis.

I really like judge Mel.  No matter how big that forkfull is she gets it in her mouth without any of it dropping or spoiling her lipstick.

Wonder if clean eating was part of the audition process?  hahahaha

And further to my link earlier about Jock's background, it seems Mel has had her problems too.

Sarah C needs to go back to the 50's where she belongs. I was kind of hoping it was her that went home last night, but it wasn't to be.

[kopenhagen5]

No, but the eliminated was always on the cards.

Reynold showing he is a bit of a Master.

[imastawka]

Not surprised at Hayden not meeting the brief.

Red haired Sarah needs to be more mindful, but I'm guessing she's not long to go.

[davewil1964]

Hard to say.

There have been a few contestants over the years who kept a low profile and put up dishes just good enough to avoid elimination, then started competing near the pointy end of the competition.

[imastawka]

Mebbe.

But she strikes me as a whiner, aka sookie la la

I see they made mention of Ben Ungerman being gone.

Also found this to be interesting.  Sadly nothing in Melbourne.
