It's back! Masterchef was brilliant last year, and I'm already obsessing over it this year.
Obviously,I love the cooking bits (especially the part where the contestants have to do a lunch service in a pro kitchen), but my main reason for tuning in is the unintentionally hilarious judges.
Gregg Wallace (the one with the glasses) is an 'ingredients expert' who has a wierd habit of sucking the fork everytime he takes a mouthful of food. His judging technique basically consists of describing the food on the plate (ie sweet, sweet, sweet tomatoes, juicy, juicy beef fillet, enhanced by the fluffiness of those chips etc etc)
The other one, John Torrode, is unable to speak in volumes less than 5000 decibels and that's about it.
Every episode, without fail, the two judges 'disagree' about which contestant to put through to the next round, cue lots of pained deliberation and huff-puffing.
It's brill. Watch it!
