I enjoy Masterchef when it's on and will watch it if I'm making or eating dinner but I would not sit down specifically to watch it. I stand with Pissflaps.WeAreTheRomans posted:FWIW Masterchef is a hundred times better than that pile of cock.

Taff posted:I think its time we address the elephant in the room I'm glad you asked. I think it's largely because of the time it's on the telly. Or maybe the time it was on the telly, i'm not sure what time it is on now as I don't watch it. It always seemed to be straight after work in the slot where you get that coach trip programme or deal or no deal and as such it became synonymous in my mind - and my wife's - with low quality telly time. The telly you don't really watch, but that goes on in the background as you make a cup of tea and empty the dishwasher. And it seems to go on forevever. Literally forever. A Sisyphian parade of cookery that is just energy sapping. It's left me with no interest in it or its garbage spinoffs. It just does nothing to inspire. I'd rather wait for The Great British Bakeoff. gently caress Masterchef. gently caress it to hell.

If nothing else, it made me want to try and learn French for some reason. I would have thought so. As long as The Tunnel ended with the male detective's son being killed in the baddie's plot, you should be able to watch it as a continuation. There's a recap of the ending, anyway.

SuperHunBastard1690 posted:Australian masterchef is better. Even though it is full of Australians. Yeah Masterchef Australia really IS better, mostly because they don't go in for the standard UK reality TV tension-building, forced jeopardy, "cooking doesn't get harder than this" poo poo. Yeah they have challenges and cook-offs, but there's so much cameraderie and goodwill between the contestants, and the hosts as well. Going back to watch UK Masterchef is eyeopening after that, you find yourself thinking blimey, you're cooking not trying to defuse a nuclear warhead strapped to a box of kittens. The only thing bad about the Aussie version is they quite often cook with these massive crayfish looking things that apparently taste brilliant but look like someone blew up a giant pink earwig. Masterchef the Professionals is worth watching for Monica Galletti's "WTF" looks off camera alone and Michel Roux at least looks like he knows his stuff and isn't too pretentious about it. He can also smile from time to time. Masterchef UK is so different to the Lloyd Grossman era you can't really compare. For its problems, it's watchable if there's nothing else on. But at least it's better than the godawful Gary Rhodes era (featuring Gary Rhodes) which was all about him inserting his opinion into everyone elses dishes at every opportunity and generally being smug and oleagenous and bigheaded the whole loving time. Masterchef Ireland is... loving bizarre. The two hosts they've got to be the equivalent of John and Greg are the worst TV presenters I've seen in a long while, they're complete personality vortexes who quite often give each other looks as if to say "er... are we filming? Like, now?" And they NEVER SMILE. No joy or enjoyment of cooking whatsoever in that show. So yeah, we watch a lot of cookery TV in our house. Masterchef Australia is the best of the bunch.

Masterchef australia 2013 was dreadful. Full of annoying contestants. Heston was on it but apart from the heston episodes it was gash. The UK pro version was good though. Watching The Taste right now and it's bizarre. Not really in a good way. Re The Tunnel, the original Danish / Swedish one is on Netflix, I'm watching that before the second season on BBC four.

I think there should be a show were the recipes are simplified for cheapskates and lazy people. I think Jamie Oliver could pull it off. "Tin of beans, microwave the pie for 3 minutes. Bam. Pie and beans"

Ive eaten that watch that turns into soup and the theatre of it all is more exciting than the food in this goons opinion. I'd go there again in a heartbeat tho if I had the £700.
