R T @Gom906 Sep 3 Ditch the French judge, useless, bring on John Torode, proper chef.... See more Toni M @RT66162011 11/02/2024 Andy is a very poor ill informed judge. Yet again you could tell who the judges were going to pick as the winner from about 10 shows in See more James H @RT37247963 08/05/2024 Another great season of MasterChef Australia. Truly the best cooking show in the world and completely puts the British version to shame and shows it what it should be. New judges worked well, but my only issue and reason for not giving it a 5 star rating was simply too much Poh Ling Yeow. Never been a fan of Poh and I felt that she was trying to be the biggest star of the show. Seemingly trying to push previous and current host show host Andy Allen aside. Be nice if the show runners could give her a bit less to say next season, should we have to suffer her once again. New hosts Jean Christophe Novelli and Sofia Levin complemented the team fantastically and were both a pleasure to watch. See more Read all reviews
