For quite a long time I actually thought that's what the main character in Halo was called...

[It made Halo fanboys seem even more absurd!]

Be warned Americans. MasterChef has become the biggest, most successful, reality TV show in Australian television history. Bigger than Australian Idol, bigger than Big Brother even bigger than The Block. And we don't even have Gordan Ramsey presenting it. It does completely bullshit numbers like 2.2 million viewers every night (that's more than 10% of the Australian population and something like 50% of all veiwers for it's timeslot.) This is also the equivalent of it outselling every halo game every fortnight, in Australia alone. People have forgotten about Halo in Australia and it you now associate the beleaguered Haloguy as being a contestant on MasterChef whenever you see him.

And yeah, as stated, it's on fucking every day. After the news it's like "TIME FOR MASTERCHEF" and there are interviews with like accountants about how nervous they are about making a casserole in the preview and then the show starts and maybe two contestants or maybe all of them, the format is different everynight compete in some cooking challenge. They're watched over by these two pompous arseholes and a guest celebrity chef. Despite all the so called celebrity chefs being total unknowns, pray that one of them will be on the show, in their absence they roll out this guy... he's like... his words have the ability to kill, kill spirit. One of those dickheads who shouldn't be let anywhere near a microphone, let alone have a regular slot on primetime tv. It's all false enthusiasm and stating the fucking obvious.

Since uni ended and my housemates have spent their time at their boyfriends' houses Masterchef has been unceremoniously dumped from the TV shedule, in fact I'm only using the Television for sport and replays of Julia Gillard becoming PM.

heheh

I watch
Kitchen Nightmares
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (one of those is the uk, and the other is the us version)
Hell's Kitchen
Gordon Ramsay's F-Word

and now he has another show called MasterChef coming out? How many shows can this guy do?

the thing is how different is this from TopChef, Iron Chef, Food Network Challenge, or The Next Food Network Star, Chopped, etc

you have to remember eating is like a big part of American culture, not sure if the market is over saturated for another food competition show.

Gordon Ramsay's F-Word

I've never heard of this one.

I wish I got BBC America (it's not on my satellite package), I heard that they don't bleep the cursing in the UK version of his shows.

Yeah, that is a drawback. I don't think UK air television is so censored as even U.S. cable television. That being said I'm overly disappointing in my Channel service. I do get BBCA, but I probably don't get some other good channels, and then I get a bunch of channels I don't want.

I am generally happy with my package, but some good channels I want but don't get:

BBC America (for more Ramsay, and for Doctor Who)
WGN America (just for WWE Superstars)
Nicktoons (they re-air old Nick cartoons I love, plus Dragon Ball Z Kai)
FX
G4

When i had cable i could either get g4 or BBCA, otherwise i would have to pay extra. For some reason g4 was apart of a sports package. I wish I had chiller, which i liked on a different cable service in a different town. I don't want Spanish networks, ESPN, or religious stations. I really wish there was an a la carte system. Also, the ability to re-arange channels Wii style would be awesome.

The British version of Masterchef is amazing, I freaking love that show. The Australian version took the British version and made it have sex with Idol (but obviously it's still better than Idol), so it's not as great.

I'm pretty sure the US version is mimicking our version.

Last night I had to banish the housemate to her bedroom and watch Masterchef on her own TV while I seized the living room to watch Colbert. Now that's a show that is hilariously censored in Australia due to it's timeslot.

Hah, I have Colbert and Jon Stewart IQ'd, so I can still watch MasterChef.

I've heard Hulu is locked out, but can you still watch the show at www.colbertnation.com ?
