MasterChef Australia returned to Channel 10 and 10Play on Monday night time, and whereas it proved to be successful with viewers in some ways, there was one large grievance that left followers dashing to social media to vent their frustrations.
Viewers had been launched to a gaggle of latest MasterChef Australia contestants who’re all battling it out for the whopping $250,000 prize.
Because the contestants met for the primary time, choose Andy Allen walked out to rapturous applause earlier than he launched this yr’s remaining judges.
Poh Ling Yeow, Jean-Chrisotophe Novell and Sofia Levin all walked out to screaming and shouting from the contestants, and writer-turned-judge Levin seemingly couldn’t include her overwhelming pleasure both as she too joined within the celebrations.
The group then reached fever pitch when, after a lot teasing, visitor choose Jamie Oliver walked into the room solely to be greeted by but extra yelling and crying each from the contestants and a few the opposite judges.
All the joy sadly proved a little bit a lot for a flurry of viewers, lots of whom rushed to social media to poke enjoyable at how “excessive” the scene was, with somebody questioning why everybody was “performing like they’re on MasterChef US”.
One viewer joked: “Did they lace these folks’s drinks with Ecstasy earlier than filming? The reactions are only a bit excessive. Bah, humbug!” whereas a second agreed, tweeting: “Genuinely suppose a few of these contestants are having seizures!”
One other moaned that the “power within the room is exhausting,” with a fourth complaining: “A lot screaming, disagreeable to look at!” and a fifth echoing the sentiment, including: “The judges have had a number of very robust espressos.”
The entire scene turned an excessive amount of for others, with one admitting that they had been “turned off” the brand new line-up over the feverish behaviour, ranting: “The screaming and dramatic laughing is already placing me off these ‘new’ judges.”
Whereas the brand new line-up has confirmed to be divisive in the course of the first premiere, others felt as if they had been doing the job completely.
“Loving the dynamic of the brand new judges,” mentioned one viewer, earlier than happening to hit out on the behaviour of the contestants: “However there’s already a number of contestants I’m discovering grating already”.
Nevertheless, regardless of the complaints, many shared their love for brand spanking new choose Poh, who as anticipated went down a deal with with viewers.
“Poh simply gone straight in and brought cost. Loves it,” gushed one viewer, whereas one other tweeted: “Can’t get sufficient of Poh!!”.
Others raved about her judging type, remarking that she’s a breath of contemporary air.
“I like Poh as a choose, she’s empathetic, articulate and humorous,” mentioned a viewer, with one other including: “Poh’s already my favorite choose”.
