  1. Chelsea looked like a model last night, heavily made up and those a….s, were prominent, but you can already see who will go long into the comp, and unfortunately like Australian Idol, it is now slowly becoming stale, probably one more series left in the franchise

  2. The MasterChef Australia 2011 Victory Tournament (round of 24) has begun! Get ready for over six realtime months of cooking action and product placement orgies compressed into about…15-16 ratings weeks over 6 episodes a week!

    PS. I still think Poh deserved to win Series One. The judges didn’t want her to win because Poh was Asian (are the Masterchef judges racially biased?).

  3. Far out….
    It’s a cooking competition…It’s about cooking, personalities and Entertaining people!
    Not looks or how big someones assets are…

    Can’t people just watch a show and not objectify women (Or men in some cases)

    I was sad that John and Alex didn’t get in 🙁

  4. Could not see this fighter pilot in the list, and it intrigued me to know who he was, so I went on a search. it is actually Paul Lombardi (33 from Perth WA) mislisted
