I generally enjoy this program but don't watch it religiously.
Just some observations:
George is one of the untidiest eaters I have ever seen.
Is there an element of favouritism at times?
* In a previous series (Junior Masterchef) there was a young fellow called Jack, from Tassie. It seemed to me that the judges had decided that they wanted a certain pair of girls to go to the final and Jack was left high and dry because of this. From memory he had cooked a perfect snail porridge and, I think, some other dish. Trouble was the girls were marked prior to Jack, and in such a way that Jack had no hope of coming tops, even with perfect scores.
*Last night there was an elimination challenge. Kylie Kwong set the challenge and each contestant had to choose one ingredient from eight offered by Kylie and make a Chinese style dish based on this ingredient.
Now I would have thought that the cooking of that singular ingredient should have carried most of tthe weight for the scoring. Beau cooked his prawns to perfection. Audra Cooked her tofu to a less than perfect standard. Guess who was eliminated?
Not favouring either, but I think if the judges were true to their standards then a different result was in order.
