That is exactly the point I am making rip off of X-Factor, the same show with a different name all variations on a theme. What I am pointing out the public who pay for these shows should not be held to ransom and if a broadcaster makes a huge success of a format and loses it, just do what you can to retain the main body of people and make a variation. It has never been contested in court nor is it likely to otherwise so many prescedents will be used such as is Eastenders really that different to Coronation Street or Neighbours any different to Home and Away or is there any real difference between some of the new British dramas with a Nordic Flavour.
Offer Mary, Paul, Sue and Mel a good package and as someone suggested before call it MasterBake and be an extension of Masterchef but concentrating on baking. use the same set, same Kitchen, to make it a little bit different have a couple of episodes with contestants working in a bakery. Even add a judge or two with Mel and Sue hovering over them.
