I have watched every season of this show, it is good the way the judges encourage the contestants to push themselves to be more creative.i like the judges on master chef Australia better than master chef US or UK, They seem more enthusiastic compared to the other versions of master chef.the only thing i do not like about the show is when they bring back contestants that have been eliminated it is not fair especially considering when contestants get eliminated it is cause they where not good enough to continue in the competition. that is why i rated the show 5 out of 10 it is a big let down for the existing contestants of the show too. I do hope in future seasons of the show this does not continue.1 point i give other versions of master chef are watchable because when contestants loose and are eliminated they are gone which is what the shows main aim is to eliminate contestants till they get their last 2 contestants, plus their is always a bit of drama, personalities clash, tempers flair.i find the series somewhat rehearsed and scripted especially when it comes to winners of certain seasons, if its aimed as a food show some of the better cooks or contestants don't seem to last i noticed from the first half of the season who were the better cooks which has me wondering if the show is more the usual so called reality tv than an actual competition.I will continue to watch this show with hope they improve the format and how fake most of the show is, contestants do not seem surprised when they loose challenges and are eliminated. even the winners of each season seem to look like they know they have won before the judges have declared who has won.big improvement needed to lose the rehearsed look reality tv yep cooking show not a hope.

Absolute top cooking contest show. Unlike it's American counterpart, no drama, politics, and bickering. Great challenges and concepts. The judges Matt, Gary, George are very decent and gracious in their evaluation and comments in general. Show does away with any kind of nastiness unlike some other reality shows, Great cooking by all contestants. The level of competition is always high. Cannot fault this show.

I love watching cooking competitions and I can say with my hand on my heart this is by far the best one on TV. I've watched Masterchef UK for many years and was initially skeptical when I tuned in to this version because it couldn't be more different. However, my concern soon turned to joy when I saw the quality of the contestants and the quality of the challenges. Each episode from the team challenges, mystery boxes, elimination challenges and pin challenges are all inventive, difficult and exceptional. The quality of the food produced on this show is sensational. The camaraderie between contestants is refreshing to see. The judges are all incredibly knowledgeable and talented with a genuine love of food. Unlike many other shows where there's a lenient judge and an overly critical judge, this show has three fantastically supportive critics who give credit where credits due and give criticism in a gentle but constructive way. The eliminations are fair and the right winner is always chosen. This show knocks the socks off all rival shows and I never miss an episode!

MasterChef Australia is cool as ice. The judges aren't a sorry bunch of tyrannical, boorish, acerbic and foul-mouthed yahoos but a suave, openhearted and almost selfless as they unreservedly share their own experiences, imparting their veteran knowledge to the amateur contestants and most importantly, ready to give show much of their precious time to these cooks. 76 episodes may have been an ordeal if the show were the slightly supercilious Top Chef or the vulgar Hell's Kitchen. To watch MasterChef Australia is to relieve oneself from tension, stress or flaring temper. The show manages to inject a sense of satiation amongst its participants, irrespective of their fate on the show. Gary, George and Matt are probably some of the kindest and most endearing personalities in all the reality shows I have seen. There is not hint of chicanery in them like in other shows where judges often dramatize or feign certain reactions in order to generate appeal.The contestants are a kracker-jack of genuine people who treat their co-contestants as friends and not like competitors or animals (Watch Hell's Kitchen). Here we see adults, who may be zany but also are hold a level of maturity and discretion that is scarcely seen anywhere nowadays.The format is quite simple but there the dozens of second-chances given and the scintillating cookery skills of the judges showcased during the show really winnowed the contestants and made them better cooks. MasterChef US, on the other hand, is turgid, cynical and chiched. The dishes are diverse, impactive and authentic. The magnificent amalgam of cultures is very respectfully blended. Indian, French, Spanish, etc dishes are all given their share of respect on the show. MasterChef Australia is simply a lip-smackingly entertaining program that follows the motto: "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
