Like 0. The combination of being on holiday with no plans and dealing with a break-up meant I got addicted to that shit like nothing else. I emotionally connected with each of the contestants, ok? Also I rationalised watching copious amounts of a reality cooking show would mean I would be able to cook dinner for myself when uni started up again (I was wrong).

I don't mind the show, I do hate when news media decides its headline news though.
Also if you weren't aware, there is going to be a Junior Masterchef soon.

I think it's a great idea to promote healthy eating amongst kids but a terrible idea for reality tv. I don't think children should be involved in reality tv.

Agreed, and not sure if it'll even be healthy eating. A lot of masterchef dishes seem to involve pig belly and/or an entire stick of butter. Cooking for yourself instead of fast food should be encouraged, but I'm not sure if masterchef is the vehicle to do it.

What is Masterchef?

He's the main character from Halo.

Not having watched a second of it, for me it'll be over when people stop talking about it. From two or three weeks in the future until whenever the next season starts, I'll be fucking ecstatic.

The first season wasn't too bad - I've watched the UK version a bit. But not even Matt Preston (who I actually don't mind) could save this one. I watched the first couple of eps, but there was just way too much crying. And I really, really hate George. If I had to choose between MC and DWTS though... I could come to like George. Now I feel sick.

On a scale of 1 to 10, How happy are you that Masterchef Kids is going to start?

It's getting more than a 0 because at least it won't involve pretentious lawyers who supposedly want to be chefs.
I'm just really scared for the kids who are obviously coached by mothers who wished they could be on Masterchef and would do anything to get close to Gary or George.

Finally! I no longer have to feel guilty at eating salad and sandwiches for dinner.

11, but I know Ch10 will have some other crap on real soon to replace it, and once again the masses will be distracted

Geez they dragged it out a bit... I'm gettting a bit jaded with the hyperbole around these types of shows.

I'm the perennial party-pooper when I say that I don't watch TV. But I'm sure like almost everything else on TV, it sucked.
I don't watch tv either but the constant masterchef advertisements on the coles pa systems are annoying enough to make me hate this show.
Admittedly I watched a quarter of it, but yeah it was pretty bad.
Then you are part of the problem.
If you think it is crap, don't watch it. Do something else: Read a book, play a board game with your family, get on the net.
I was on the net for the most part. But I did want to see what the dessert they had to make.
You are wise beyond your years (whatever they happen to be) for not watching TV. Because it did suck.
