@Dragonlass – you’re right there, Masterchef UK are are far superior quality cooking show – that’s pure cooking than australian version.
But I do enjoy last year MC – contestant are less annoying. This year – loud,noisy and annoying.
I was expecting a little higher for Masterchef, but a good start. The Boys vs Girls theme is tiresome. Hopefully its over by the end of the week.
The Block is doing well, the room reveals rate high on Sunday. They don’t show much renovating during the week, it’s mostly couples drama. Even the challenges have been shorter and underwhleming.
I still enjoy the season. Although, I hope next series they go back to 4 couples. 5 teams is a lot to showcase in a short allotted time.
What about Financial Review Sunday David?
Paper Giants was average. A Place To Call Home was truly brilliant last night. Glad viewers made the right choice.
I’ll keep this story in mind when X Factor, MKR, etc debut their new series and see if people who think 1.1 million in a perfectly good start still feel the same way.
@doreen there is an encore screening on thursday i think, but there is always iview.
I used to be a huge fan of MC in the first 2 seasons but then I lost interest when they started making it all about the personalities of the contestants and judges.
I’m thankful that Foxtel shows the UK versions of Masterchef, they are much, much better.
Paper Giants was outstanding I thought. Looking forward to Part 2.
Watched Mc last night and i’m so happy there are a bunch of personalities in the show this yr! Seems much more entertaining but I also like how they are good happy personalities and not bitches like mkr
I couldn’t believe an old school chum of mine was on the Whitlam show! He was in front of (Old) Parliament House on 11 November 1975 among all the Labor supporters holding a banner saying “Sucko Gough”. I wish he’d told me he was going there that day, I would have joined him with my own anti-Labor banner.
