🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍾🍾”What does getting an apron mean to you?” Have a drink when someone mentions the sacrifice, the children, the life on hold.

Maz

Another drink for hysterical overreaction upon Shannon Bennett entering the kitchen.

And another for mention for ‘blind’ taste testing. Yeah right.

Bobi

I’m still excited. I am loving this.
I am sure they all handed scripts at the beginning. It is not possible that this number of cliches are an accident.

Maz

Ben from Queensland has the sob story.

Bobi

“Doin’ it for my girls” lady is a writer. That’s a new one.

Littlepetal

She is also the wife of Chadwick Models agency owner Martin Walsh.

Bobi

Ahh. She’ll be good for the advertisers.

Bobi

Ben doesn’t know that different ingredients have different cooking times. Even I know that, and I’m the person who put coconut milk in a lasagna. He can’t stay no matter what his backstory is.

Maz

He is a Queenslander that is enough. The MC ads up there always seem to be parochial.

Hang on…someone did not get in because they didn’t make rice paper???????

Bobi

I swing into The Voice every now and then. You only need to hear the first five seconds of every singer to know whether they are any good or not. The rest is just padding.

Fijane

The teen in this house specifically wanted to tune in to the voice (which we never watch) because there was some special catch on offer that night. Presumably they talk about it at school, so I imagine there are quite a few teens controlling the remotes. We should look at the demo breakdown for the shows.

Maz

French Fiona must not get through as she has no film package.

Liberty

Le accent would kill me, non? Singing half of her sentences – opera style – NON!!!!

Bobi

That nanny has got to go. Her voice is like nails down a blackboard for me.
Dear God, I hope she can’t cook.

Maz

Jess must get through.

Red-Hair Sarah is a fake. Who says about a bunch of strangers “I can’t live without any of them now.”

We would prefer the nanny over the vintage fake.

Maz

Armidale girl must get through.Top 10?

Then again maybe not, she has never made ice cream before.

Bobi

In the nicest way, she’s an idiot.

Littlepetal

Why would you go on MC without knowing how to make ice cream and practice making ice cream

Liberty

Must look around town for posters.

Maz

Yep, the blind test is so blind. Not.

Bobi

Yes, meat man was fairly obvious, but the duck did look delicious.
And they do want people with expressive faces. Makes for good television.

Bobi

That last one is a pretty dish. Chocolate mousse. Even I took a breathe when he took the lid off. Pretty young Asian girl, so she qualifies on a number of levels.

Littlepetal

But is she only good with desserts like those last few years

Maz

Aprons awarded to :
The Butcher
Qlder Ben
Lisa (not much air time)
Jenny (sans Rice Paper girl)
Jess (You Tuber 19yo)

Maz

Naveen & Fiona’s journey has ended.

Bonnie (Armidale girl) and Michelle get a second chance.

And we get our first panna cotta and lava cake.

Littlepetal

I think we will be getting sick of the red hair Sarah doing all the narration

Littlepetal

Is someone having a a baby?? People shouting PUSH, PUSH

Bobi

I think that was the red-head. Hopefully she goes in week 1.

Maz

Have a feeling she will be kept around just before finals week just to narrate. This season’s Dani Venn.

Maz

Michelle got through . She annoys me. Lots of annoying people this year.

Bobi

That is simply not possible. I admit that she’s not my cup of tea but we have all watched her and, if anything, she veers more to the prudish side.
Does he really think that there is anyone, apart from his mother, that would believe that for a single moment?

brain dead dave

Sounds like a fireman abusing his hose to me.

Bobi

And I think red-h**d, which is going to make the first couple of weeks difficult for you ( or me):

Jazzman

Sounded like slut shaming to me. I couldn’t believe it when I heard what he was saying

Maz

Run down of the contestants: https://www.popsugar.com.au/celebrity/MasterChef-2018-Contestants-44759839
Most popular occupations are Stay at Home Parent, Social Work and HR. Devastated that there are no lawyers this year.

Bobi

I don’t remember some of these people. No tragic backstory or no nonna.

Zhee

Wow, more than half of the contestants are over 30! :O

Littlepetal

I think there is a good chance of getting a male winner this year. I am backing Sashi to do well.

HeWhoHasNoName

A lot of contestants a little more laid back this year, probably due to a slightly older demographic and some maturity…

A bit surprised by prawn stuffed jalapeno man… didn’t look that good to me.

Wonder how many days gap it was between day 1 and day 2 of apron hand outs… people already way too chummy… except for the muslim mum, she didn’t seem to cheery.

Already these 2 episodes are better than anything MKR last season… (granted not hard to do!), and there are some interesting food ideas.

Smythe

Also surprised that stuffed jalapeno man made it through. Shannon had to advise him on how to cook that dish so that the jalapeno and prawn cooked correctly.
More ice cream….is that going to be a repeat of last season?
Red-haired lady screaming and jumping and being irritating.

Decent Assault

The 19 year old asian girl probably sees the pastry chef apprenticeship as beneath her, or her parents are pissed she isn’t doing accounting or pharmacy
