I’ve always said that the Australian version is by far the best version in the MasterChef franchise. Compare it to the US version? No comparison.
It’s time for Season 9!
When I picked a Top 5 after Episode 32, I had, in no particular order, Tamara, Sarah, Eloise, Karlie and Ben. Now after Episode 50, I have to revise myself a little bit. I like Ben, Sarah for Top 3 without a doubt. As for the other 3 in the Top 5 I think I have to go with Diana, Karlie and Tamara. Which means that Eliza, Eloise and Arum are going next. I think that’s right though, but I think Eliza is a dark horse.
I was wrong on Sarah, I really thought she would go further. But now we have a Top 3 of Ben, Karlie and Diana (thank goodness Tamara is gone). I still like Karlie, she has to be the favorite, but rooting for Diana. But I think they are looking for a male winner – which they really wanted from Matt last year but couldn’t give to him because his last cook failed. Thus, I am going to pick Ben to win it.
I was close, but how can you give the crown to a guy who only makes ice cream?
Congratulations to Diana! Rooted for her all the way and she did it!
I decided to go for the Anago Ten Don. I wanted to see how they did the Sea Eel Tempura. I also went for the spicy version.
It was fresh for sure. The taste was right there and the Anago was not overcooked. The taste is pretty good. A good choice, right up there.
