What a top bloke.

Casting of contestants really does make a big difference to the success of a show. MKR in the end did have a great group. Masterchef also were overall a real nice bunch, minus Chris who the public said what they thought of him.

Compare that to HomeFlop and Australia’s Perfect Idiots, and the cast were all young, selfish, annoying, whingeing brats. And they both flopped big time. We don’t really like seeing people like that succeed or get rewarded at all.

Seeing as the winner of MC was cast and decided upon before the cameras rolled, MKR has been refreshing in that the usual suspects will not be the winner. That said, neither show is much chop (no pun intended)

Slam: Mossy applied for MasterChef S1.

Agree with others that the casting for MKR was spot-on. The only thing I will criticise is that it was top heavy with Gen X and Y’ers. Hopefully next series there will be a better demographic spread of contestants. All in all, though, consummately good casting that has made for a very addictive show. The casting of Manu and Peter as hosts/judges was a masterstroke and I really like the four chefs on the finals judging panel – all very pleasant people who do the job without humiliating or belittling the contestants in any way. i hope they all return for Series 2.

Thumbs up to top bloke Mossy and his gorgoeus wife Gabe. Maybe they weren’t the best cooks but they are wonderful people !!!
Looking forward to the final.

Funny bloke, but that’s the key difference between the two shows. Masterchef is primarily about the quality of the food. Personality is important when casting but there’s a reason these two flunked out and didn’t reach the MKR final- their food knowledge wasn’t up the scratch.

David, I think you’ve jumped the gun with the saying MC missed out here- he may be a good personality but the MC contestants may be better (possibly more charismatic) than him but you can’t come to that conclusion until you’ve seen MC.

im with Jerome, the person or people who cast MKR were just at the top of their game, the mother and father couple, the bitchy couple (wasnt it fantastic to see them crash and burn in their semi against the boys!), all the ingredients for great TV were there and it worked a treat, its been a long time since ive been really hooked on a TV show but with this, the next episode couldnt come soon enough.

I would love to see Mossy and Gabe get their own cooking show, I think it would work a treat, maybe not in primetime but late afternoon could work..

I don’t think MasterChef has missed out on anything. Mossy & Gabe were probably the most boring team in the competition.

For some reason I’m reminded of a slogan:

It’s the contestants that MasterChef rejects that makes MasterChef the best.
