Hi everyone,

So I have an odd question, I was rewatching season 10 and was curious what the recipe was of Aldo his meatballs. But unfortunately I live in the netherlands and cannot access tenu. Can maybe someone give me tips how to access recipes or give me the recipe? https://tenplay.com.au/channel-ten/masterchef/recipes/nonna-s-meatballs?fbclid=IwY2xjawHKrxtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHU9tRsGEL1jm3oai4oMY3g_7Gxk0_HQDUJ29A1E-GL4eruB9rcwso5XtRw_aem_GmX7gUo9tA_30Rs3p5YDRw

There used to be a link someone's husband had on here to watch season 18. I can't find it anymore. Does anyone have it?

See you all next time!

Time flies. What are your favourite books?

-SPOILERS-

As we know these are the top 5. I do feel like Jana, Christy and John are the most skilled left. But def not counting out the alumni, as last season 2 did make it through then.

The theme is def open to interpretation. This feels like it should have been the finale format tbh. But I do like the theme, and like even the storytelling aspect has to work.

Looking at the previews tho, Jana and John seem to be a little down and nervous, but then that always does happen, and I still hope they make it through.

I also do hope tho the finale format is different this year

View Poll

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

I’m currently watching Masterchef AU: The Professionals and Anthony has just been eliminated as the second person out. He must be one of the sorest losers from all the seasons I’ve ever watched, the way he goes out is very abrasive.

Hi,

Trying to watch old seasons of Masterchef Australia online in India back when Matt, George and Gary were the judges but unable to.

Please suggest links / methods to rewatch these episodes (preferably without VPN)

No spoilers here please, and even if did happen, don't confirm it:

After watching season 16, which was a low budget season I feel, I talked over frustrations with my sister in general regarding the challenges. We have watched all the seasons and feel that MasterChef should implement new or changed rules.

For examples:

• There should be a challenge that implores every candidate to cook the most popular cuisine. French, Mexican, Italian and so on. Increase the difficulty of the theme as the season goes on. No one can hide behind curries or pasta anymore. We don't need an impossible dish to deliver but you can at least make a dish that tastes like French or Italian cuisine. The Masterchef name should implore that you can at least master a few different cuisines before focusing on your own speciality.
• Auction challenge: After the auction, the one with the most time starts immediately and the one with the lowest starts later. However, they all should start immediately and present the dish when they are done. Thinking what you can do before you starts adds a lot of preparing. Obviously for the audience, the judges eat all the dishes directly after each other.
• Cook against the guest chef should return, and a mentor too. The contestant should pick the ingredient without the chef knowing as he/she can go to the pantry and only knows the dish when he/she starts.
• Mystery Box is too safe. So many contestants pick the one they favor and leave the rest. As the season goes on, the ingredients they need to pick increases by 1 each two weeks. We have seen so many great dishes when they're forced to think out of the box.
• One or more elimination challenges where the contestants have to cook/bake the same recipe, they should be tasted blind. This would quell the favoritism, as the judges tend to favor this or that contestant. When done blindly, the judges can't be faulted and the audience is forced to accept.
• Maybe there should be a Can-You-Do-This-challenge. The challenge where everyone can cut a carrot or onions julienne style or squares. This doesn't need to be an elimination but can be a good show which contestants might be good.

Do you have more suggestions? Yes? I'd like to know what you would change or add...

As, we all know the first episode prize this year was the SOS advantage, and not an immunity.

And spoilers....

The SOS box was a 20 minute extra time advantage.

Last time, Reynold had played his pin at the Christmas double eliminations episode. This was honestly one of the closest eliminations, as no one had really done terribly, and people went home on them not having the same taste experience, and not really the structure of the dish itself.

While the 20 minute advantage is useful in some cases, it could also be pretty useless in some cases where you can't really fix the dish in the limited time.

In Reynolds case, the 20 minutes could have helped him, his problem was mostly that his blown sugar kept leeching holes and breaking. And that would have probably sent him home. We've seen him many times to blow sugar, so it's nothing really new. We'll probably never really know if he'd be able to pull it off or if his flavors were sound, but he did win the advantage pretty fairly

See you on Sunday!

what are your favourite circus or plays?

#Spoiler I just watched the Grand Finale of S15 and the when the families are brought in, the contestants appeared to be genuinely surprised and in tears. I was wondering whether they are really unaware of it and are they not allowed any sort of communication with their friends and families?

Sorry a bit late to the party and just finished S16 finale today.

Pezza was using a pacojet container for the coreteaser ice cream... normally pacojet recipes require freezing for 24hrs before churning. I know they have blast chillers, but are they really cooling the custard quick enough to be pacotised in the allotted time?

The talent this year has been pretty strong. I know it does heavily depend the up and coming formats and challenges, but it would be interesting to see everyone move forward.

So far, the definite top 2 seem to be either Christy or Jana. I just feel like these two are on a whole other level, and have been definitely consistent and on top quite frequently.

Def keeping an eye on Alisha. She has been getting some screentime, and has been on a growing trajectory. I don't know if I can say she's on the level of the other 2, but the last few challenges have def shown that she is creative and trying new things. It's def just the first episode that was poor.

John had won the SOS box. But I feel like after a while, he had gone to the shadows. His style is def more fine-dining then gastronomy which was closer to the last few challenges, but he's still consistent.

Dan honestly probably has the least screentime among everyone left, even if he has somewhat of a big personality. Like even if his dish won, he was sort of in a long montage, which doesn't give me much hope for him. His dishes do look wild and creative, but maybe not on the level of the others.

Darren Purchase is def a wildcard. He does seem like he was pretty consistent until this last 2 episodes. So like he can go either way honestly. He was really close to going home this episode, and I almost thought he was, but I guess the cream was just slightly distracting and probs without that, it saved him.

Now with the two MC Alumni, honestly they haven't stood put too much surprisingly. They have both gotten screentime, but I wonder how much is it because of their popularity or not. Emelia has been growing ever so slightly tho. I was a little underwhelmed with her first two dishes, the third was a cool idea, and her team relay strategy was smart. Now with Reece, I do feel like his inexperience will eventually get him kicked out soon. The visual deception really did expose him there. Overall, these two do seem to really rely on classics, but I'm also not to sure if they can beat the others.

I have watched Masterchef AU and also watching dessert masters now, I love his theatrics and out of the box thinking, but I can’t help but think that they are using him as kind of a clickbait. I wonder if the dishes are really that great or they are just good but the judges are making it sound great because he brings in the audience.

What do you think?

Hello everyone, I have just finished watching the immunity challenge before the semi-finals. And I just want to vent my thoughts, because I think that Nat is absolutely amazing for what she tried on episode 46 of season 16.

I cannot say what she did, because spoilers, but I can say my thoughts on what she did. And I think she is absolutely amazing and courageous for what she tried to do.

She followed her own instinct and tried to do the impossible. And even though the judges told her it was a bad idea, she trusted herself.

Even though the end happened how it happened, I still think she is such an inspiration for what she did.

I myself recognized the pressure from others to change my own path in life, and I am proud to say that just like Nat, I too have followed my own instincts.

At the end when Nat cried my heart cried with her, and if I could say one thing to her it's that it's okay to fail, I am so proud of her that she at least tried.

P.S. *Please no spoilers! I am behind on the show*

Looks like we are doing Sundays and Mondays now, or at least could be if there are ten episodes total. Didn't get my usual chases if was running late and I am a day late so let me know if this service is even required anymore! Not that I don't love doing it for you guys, but if its redundant with the recent changes down under, for example, then certainly one less thing to worry about!

Edit: No panic folks, not going anywhere :D

Favourite country classic desserts?

I'm currently watching S16 and I'm baffled by the amount of people cooking with their rings and bracelets on or with loose hair. Is that new? I can't remember that from older seasons. Compared to Masterchef USA I always thought AU was good with hygiene because everyone had their hair tied but this season is lacking in hygiene rules.
