Yes, series 6 deserves getting excited about. Gone are the crappy cooks, annoying personalities and silly theme weeks of last year's extremely disappointing series. Back are the talented cooks, great dishes and excellent challenges of earlier series. There are still too many tears, but there always were.
I'm watching it now on Watch + 1. Didn't realise it was starting so googled and inadvertently found out the winner already! Duh! Anyway, my lips are sealed!:)
Season 5 was very poor and the lady who eventually won (can't remember her name now ) wasn't a worthy winner IMO.

Emma won it and must admit it surprised me she won! She just appeared to have wanted the money to open a restaurant with her boyfriend who was a British chef, this is only my opinion.

I did that with My Kitchen Rules - so annoying!
I'm already liking this series so much more than Season 5. Thank goodness they learned their lesson. I'm a keen cook and I don't want to watch people who are at best adequate getting prizes for something most of us could do if we set our minds to it, I want to see people whose food makes me green with envy!

Yup, very annoying. Although during the previous series I've found myself googling the winner half way through as I just couldn't wait to know:D
MCA is quite a commitment though, takes over my TV for the duration of the series. And I agree, this year seems to be shaping up much better than series 5. Looking forward to tonight.
I absolutely love MCA, and so far I am enjoying it! I agree about season 5 tho the winner didn't deserve to win, I agree with the poster above that she on,y wanted the money so her boyfriend could be the chef.
There is a dark haired girl in this season Laura? I swear I've seen her in something before bugging me!

I love George, Matt and Gary George is getting thinner each series!!
Not sure about Laura, I'll go have a google. I've to go to a parents evening at school tonight:( So I'll have to record it and catch up when I get home.
The standard certainly seems higher this year already - some potentially good cooks have fallen at the first hurdle.
Sad to say there's still far too much of the old "I really want this" BS, though! Too much crying too, and people pretending to be best buddies. Those two girls last night were embarrassing - yes, I know you've hit it off, but you've known each other for five minutes, you do not love each other!!!
On another note, it's good to finally have some eye candy for the blokes this season. Sarah from Mackay... wowsers!
Definitely the best season yet. I've seen them all online but will be re-watching. I'd forgotten how much Sarah's "I'm just a girl" "eh" noise drove me nuts though!

I know what you mean, but the two 'best friends' are both only 18 - at that age I think your definition of friend isn't what it is when you're older and supposedly wiser. I blame Facebook.:D
I'm always in two minds about 18 year olds getting a place in these competitions though. I think I'd rather see places go to older people who have had to give up their ambitions and hopes to provide for their families or care for someone and are now considered too old by employers to be apprentices than to someone who's just starting out and could do it the usual, longer and less publicity attracting way. But then I'm old so I might be prejudiced!
Just watched tonight's. Had a grin to myself when the previous winners walked in - surely Emma wouldn't have made the top 24 at the end of her season let alone the beginning. Not sure about Ben, either. I didn't think his season was particularly strong.
It's good but a little bit X-Factor i.e. sob stories and drama as opposed to just talent. I did like the Masterchef Ireland take on it which just cuts through that bit of the bullshit and gets down to the fact it's a cooking show and it's about cooking.
Also, what sort of half-assed "advantage" is getting to nominate which nebulous "theme" you're cooking to? Waste of time.
Missed tonight's so I'll have a bit of catching up to do tomorrow.
Remember Mindy from a couple of seasons ago? She used the word 'beautiful' relentlessly. For some reason I didn't really mind though as I really like her and her yummy Asian (my fave) cooking.
The standard does look good this year though. Which is a relief as last year was soo poor.

I thought she was great but yeah the "beauddiful" got to be quite amusing!!!
There a few potentially irritating ones - Amy was a bit full of drama and I hope Laura and Georgia calm down this love in.

Yes, that's a much better spelling version as that's exactly how she said it.:D
The standard is very very high right from the off this year
BUT
The amount of loose hair flying around is irritating me
also, people being granted places etc because "they really want it" and they've "sacrificed everything to be here" is majorly disappointing
So if I threw in my job and got a cheap ticket to Oz and rocked up to the auditions, if I've ditched the old man for the opportunity to appear, I'd be granted a place?
No absolute favourite yet, but give me a couple of weeks and I'll be all over it

They kept that quiet. Or did I just miss the trailers? It can't possibly be as bad as Season 5.
Can it?
Just watched the first episode on line, standard looks and sounds as if its going tobe quite high

But the standard does look pretty decent so far.
