Masterchef

As you may have heard before Masterchef is one of my fav shows on telly. Not that I'm aspiring to be one, far from, but I like the way the show is set up.

Of course the American version is a total drama. It's tears, it's bitchiness, it's anger, it's a lot of feelings all the time but the judges are my favs. In the Australian and New Zealand shows it's a much nicer atmosphere, and even though there is the odd outburst of feelings, it's pleasant to watch. You know, that people can be nice to each other even though they compete. Plus I like the accent.

What I don't like with these three shows on the same theme, is that they seemingly have a lot of commercials, so a lot of it is repeated. The ads are omitted on youtube, but you know there's been a break when they repeat the same thing.

Masterchef UK is like the country. A bit bland.

Just started to watch Canada, and I like when they have a third judge which is a real character. A flamboyant type, who scares the shit outta the competitors.

Ireland has two hunks as judges, first of all, it is difficult to get that a country like Ireland has hunks, and second, it is difficult to focus on the actual competition when they get a lot of camera time. And I like that the episodes are half the time, no repetition, and very few feelings. A person gets elimininated, says "thank you" and leaves. No tears, no outbursts of any kind. Much more like myself. And I love the way they say "teyist" instead of taste. Reminds me of my northern Irish friend.

So I guess cliches have become just that for a reason.
