I assume you have this show in the US too. You know, the one where some grumpy chefs force some poor sods to cook French cuisin they've never heard of before, and then making funny faces while tasting it, saying things like "I absolutely adore the presentation, but I don't think those Madeleines are quite tongue-tingling enough. I'm very disapointed."
My girlfriend watches it all the time. It's the standard reality-TV show, this time with cooking. Fine. I, however, have a massive problem with that show. In a nutshell, it's possibly the only TV Show where you dont actually get a chance at judging the product for yourself. X-Factor? You can hear the song. Britain's Got Talent? You can see the juggling. Location, Location, Location? You can see the interior design of the house. WWE Tough Enough 2? You can see the big men in spandex hugging each other.
But MasterChef? You have to rely on the opinion of snotty judges. You can't actually taste the bloody food. You have no idea. The Beef Strogonoff could taste like gbaji's ****, you would never even know. So basically, all MasterChef is about, is watching a bunch of twats talk about food that could or could not be nice. Bit ****, innit?
