I daren't update the current thread as it may contain spoilers but MCA S7 starts on Watch on Mon 28th September at 7:30PM. It looks as though at least early doors that MCA will start at 7:30 or 8PM daily instead of the usual 7PM or 6:30PM slot that we are used to.
There will be three daily repeats. 1:30AM, 8AM and 1PM (slightly adjusted if it is a half hour, hour or half and a half long show.
Only a fortnight until Matt, Gary and George are back. I know I'm looking forward to it mightily. Hope to see the regulars and any newbies when the time comes

I can't wait, Masterchef Oz is my absolute favourite. So excited
It was another very good series this year. It's well and truly back following the season 5 stumble.
I know, I know....
I know who wins this year, Julie Goodwin congratulated the winner and I'd forgotten to mute the hashtag. It has never spoiled my enjoyment in the past though!
I never really get the audition round shows, why do they spend so long on some folk where they practically get their life history and then rattle through other folk (who also get through?). Bit too touchy-feely as well.
Get to the cooking!
At least this year you are spared an entire episode of contestant profiles with no cooking at all. There was one such episode last year.
too touchy-feely was exactly the comment i was going to make , having the familys there and all the tears and stuff almost ruins the show for me , i just want to see them cook
loving that the show is back , already worried that there are a few that are going to really annoy me, but cant wait to see the rest of it
the "mad scientist" guy is going to definitely really annoy me
I zoned out for the first few minutes so I didn't see any of the previews (as I hate any type of spoiler) although I heard some of the guest chefs who'll show up (all those you'd expect)
No-one has stood out as someone I want to root for so far although that 20 year-old's dessert looked amazing. Some of the cooking did look great but no personality has shone through as yet. The mad professor sounds like he might be a bit of a Jonno from S2 but I liked Jonno a lot so this guy will need to win me over.
Just good to have the gang back together. It is like a comforting autumn/early winter jacket.
High standard again this year, thank goodness. I'm still scarred by Series 5.
Very true!
Tonight was better, much more about the cooking. Though the amount of attention they lavished on Rose it was hardly surprising she got the last apron.
Dodged a bullet on Supicha I think, the "quirky basket case" alarm was ringing loudly every time she was on screen.
Totally agree! The double whisking was freaking me out, and not in a good way - must have worried the apron-wearers too, the ones who noticed she hadn't done her chocolate caramel sauce didn't rush to tell her
I can't handle designer guy, he makes my skin crawl already - all style and no substance I reckon
I might try reducing some coconut cream, cos I'm good at burning stuff ...
I remember the wave of relief when she didn't get through. Manic and hyper-active and wouldn't shut up. She would have driven me batty.
BTW, Shannon Bennett's restaurant Vue de Monde has just lost its 3rd "hat" in the latest ratings. There is only one Melbourne restaurant left with 3 hats (Attica). I don't know how they are rated, but there is certainly a lot of prestige having 3 hats (similar to having 3 Michelin stars elsewhere), so that will take the gloss off him a bit.
couldn't agree more, she was just too hyper and i think the mad scientist guy is gonna annoy me enough without her being there too
standard looks pretty good this year , just hope they calm down all the sob stories, faux drama and tears
yeah , the show should really be sponsored by kleenex
The butcher though who decided to ramp up his tempering of his chocolate to 90 degrees instead of 50 to 'get it done quicker' just blew my mind. How can anyone think that this was a good idea, let alone a good idea in the Masterchef kitchen? 'Oh I've got a recipe from a three hat (now two hat) chef, I'll completely change it, I'm sure it is just a suggested way of cooking and I can get the same result by doing it completely differently' - Madness.
That is exactly why I looked away from the screen for the first few minutes. I hated that but quickly noticed what was going on so managed to avoid it all.
Lots of shows do it - for example The Apprentice does it in the intro of every episode, so you can see who is still in for certain tasks and who have moved teams etc. - really bugs me.
That was remarkably stupid! I've never tempered chocolate but know enough about the process to understand that it's all about the temperatures, and I'm just a home cook with no culinary ambition. He should really have known that was a terrible idea.
I agree about Rose too. She's already getting on my nerves. I suspect she's going to be a drama queen - getting into a flap and turning on the water works all the time!
