It's so hard to find favorites this early. Usually the real contenders pick up speed midgame as they're absorbing their lessons and getting inspired. The people who stand out early on tend to flame out. Think Reynold.

Reynold was a really big favourite though who went far and he came back and proved he's no fluke. I can think of a few others that didn't win, like Kylie, but still managed to do really well. Do agree that a lot of the winners aren't necessarily big and flashy, however. Although I do like that we're getting less and less 'dessert-focused' people who feel the pressure to prove that they can cook savoury; basically the median of contestants are more well-rounded.

Well, it seems they've found a tolerable replacement to Jessica's hair. Also, lol that they seem to be pumping Gordon as Marco's replacement. Matt Preston must still be livid about that while thing. It's best to keep the melodrama on the production side. Besides, if Gordon really is taking over the hardcore mentor week, I think he'll knock it out of the park, even if it's only to look better than Marco.

Update: Gordon Week is ON and it's really great so far. Anybody in here who watches his American bullshit should really give this week's episodes a shot.

This season of Masterchef Canada has been pretty chill. The frontrunner is a snaggletoothed teenager who’s so charmingly not ‘made for TV’

I agree to an extent, and I didn't appreciate how he was messing with the professionals during the cook. Though his enthusiasm during judging was overstated and hammy to say the least, I read it as more genuine. Certainly better than bad, and again refreshing if you're used to his American bullshit.

Not sure what MC AU is about because it's completely daunting to an outsider with the sheer volume of episodes they put out It's not the Australian-ness that sinks the show, it's more like Jesus I only have a few hours for TV a week, and that's for all shows, not just one. American competitions are made out to be more cutthroat, and playing up the stakes (when they're more or less the same as the other editions of the show- I don't think any country would give a poo poo about the Coveted Cut Glass MasterChef Trophy  )

She will fall into every pressure test (sinking any team she's on along the way), and then either one other person will do worse, or the judges will smoke crack and commend an atrocity like the minced beef Dan Dan. I'm scared she'll make top 5-10 this way.

New show was fun, but Vinny was such a whiny man-baby that I half hope the restaurant fails. I hope we get more disgusting kitchens and less of Ramsay as amateur family therapist, which made some of the later Kitchen Nightmares episodes a slog.

What's weird is that before the comp the judges were talking about how they would need to bake the chicken to make sure its done, but during the comp undercooked chicken can't be saved.
