Crikey’s MasterChef menu

All good things must come to an end, and this weekend, we bid a fond farewell — until next year — to our favourite ever reality TV program (except for maybe The Swan and Celebrity Rehab): MasterChef.

While you bite your nails down to the nub in anticipation of the final battle between fruity, feisty Poh and fuzzy, frenetic Julie, have a look back at Crikey’s best MasterChef coverage.

MasterChef’s recipe for success What is it about MasterChef that’s just so addictive? Courteney Hocking serves up a few ideas.

Channel Ten cooks up a big year in ratings Ten is the success story of the year, with MasterChef serving up record ratings for the network, writes Glenn Dyer.

That was the year that was in TV. Next year will only be worse At the end of 2008, Glenn Dyer had this to say: “Ten has to replace Big Brother, so we will get MasterChef. It’s a rip off of a UK format seen here on pay TV. Don’t hold your breath.” Oops.

    If Poh wins Masterchef, it will be a travesty. This chick is a tragic publicity seeker who was on a cooking show years ago with her mum. She is an accomplished artist who sells her work for $10k or more over in Adelaide. Why would she ever want to work in a stinking hot kitchen punching out meals for the punters? If she wins, she’ll take the 100k and go to Europe to paint.
