I've been given the inside word on the Masterchef auditions:
"After attending the auditions I think it's safe to say that it will be nothing like the UK show...
No cooking skills or food knowledge needed to get through to stage where they begin filming. First round audition was just a personality test...
Quite disappointing for those of us who went to much effort in creating our dishes that no one connected with the show even tasted. And we had to wait 10 hours before our audition even started. It was insulting and humiliating. As childish as this may sound I hope the show is a ratings disaster for Channel 10. As you can tell I'm quite angry."
On hearing this, any optimism I was trying to garner was obliterated...
The personality test thing doesn't surprise me, I mean, it is reality TV, but it's not like all the people on the UK show were bursting with life... gosh, some of them were quite dull, but it didn't matter because it was all about the food. Our version is clearly more about money. Sad. You can't eat money. Well, my little brother did actually eat a 2 cent coin about 20 years ago, but considering it came out whole, I don't think he gained any nourishment from it.
2 Thoughts:
Well done for trying but having been there, i am glad to say the best cooks did make it through...and if only you knew what an amazing show it'll be
Are you connected with the show or did you audition yourself? I'd be very interested to hear your version of events...
