Losing it's appeal
8 July 2019
After 11 seasons Masterchef is getting stale and, like a long term relationship some things are getting on my nerves.

What I still like: The contestants are treated with respect, mostly. They are encouraged and I like the new ideas they bring.

What I don't like: The overly dramatic music that is constant and irritating, the contestants constantly repeating what the judges have just said, and again before the cook is finished, WHY?, the lack of new ideas for the competition, the obvious scripting for the contestants, Gary stuffing his face (blergh), George imitating Gordon Ramsay bouncing on his heels all the time, the constant (there's that word again, but it is constant) yelling to hurry up from the judges and the contestants watching when it's really not necessary, the dramatic bawling by at least one contestant sometime, praising food when its way spicy hot as good (hot food does not mean good, how can you taste anything let alone the next contestants food when your taste buds have burnt out?) and that it is 60 episodes....way too long!!

The format needs to change, the judges need to be refreshed (Gary needs to get back to his restaurant, the reviews are pretty bad), hell, maybe it's time to can it.
