| I would rather buy her cookbook, than "FOOD FROM MARS" from Poh !!!!! Hehehehe Congrats Julie . Although they are merely " cooks " not " chefs " . Thats an insult to someone who has done their 4 years as an apprentice and earned their stripes as a " chef " in my opinion . Was a good family orientated tv series to watch . |

| Ah I agree with you Daniel on the master "cooks" scheme. IMO, I dont think Australia would even consider an asian being Australia's first masterchef. I dont mean to be a racist but to me it really doesnt portray the Australian image... Ill just leave it at that. |

| The irony is Michael, David is asian himself. But I agree with your point, implying that queenslands redneck influence may be tainting his opinion on the views of the rest of the country as a result |

| David doesn't mean to be a racist, but he is going to make a comment based solely on a race judgment. You tool, everyone wanted Poh to win and popular opinion is it was rigged for Julie. Whole chicken? Hello, easy win Julie. |

| Been watching the whole series as I love food and cooking. Really wanted Justine to win... but only because she was HOT. |

| LOL... something similar happened to a mate of mine. Finished the deed with his missus, rolled over and said "That was wonderful babe... now go make me a sandwhich" He ended up with a black eye.... |

| I love how people complain about reality tv 'contests' being unfair, or that somoene else should have won. Even though they are held with no fixed rules, random changes midway through, and no fixed scoring? I mean come on guys, its for RATINGS, not for finding Australias best amateur to turn into a chef. Just look at the telegenic retards they chose. I bet they turned down any amateur that had a hint of talent . |

| Im in Chris's corner. That guy can cook and he WAS robbed big time by the show. The show just wanted to make money as the aim of the show was to find a 'home cook' who has a possibility to sell cookbooks. Not surprising the network and the publishers are owned by the same company! Julie, just like a fragile egg, cracks under pressure. What kind of chef is that ? MASTERCHEF "thats an onion ... err isnt it" what a joke ! |

| Do any of you people actually believe anything you saw on TV was in any way related to the reality of the situation in that kitchen, if it even existed? I'm sure they edited the hell out of it to put whatever spin they needed on each character and contest to have a nice person, a bad guy, a close competition, whatever they needed. You watched complete fiction and now you are arguing over it. Grow up. |

| Miles, whos argueing? I have actually enjoyed watching the show, learning how to make certain dishes for i am a cooking enthusiast myself and watching how things are done under pressure is inspiring. The show has taught me new dishes and how to use ingredients in different ways. Call it fiction you may, sure i dont agree with the end result as the winner of this 'MASTERCHEF' is someone who has fast tracked themselves in a 3 month tv show under a ficticious label played like puppets. |
