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.
