有人在追master chef嘛? Finale 7:30pm Sunday

冬菇茶

今天的GUEST JUDGE 是大名鼎鼎的 DONNA HAY (哪个敢说没听说过的去书店补习一下), 主题是为你的COOKBOOK 的封面做的菜. 诚然JULIE 没有完成, 但她对书的构想非常IMPRESSIVE, 是吻合书的主题的. 而且FAMILY THEME, 这个很重要, 是她赢的关键.

POH 的菜味道不错, 卖相很好, 可以说今天没有NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.

而CHRIS, 卖相没有, 味道差些, 而书的构想并不得DONNA HAY 的喜欢, 只能说 taday is not his day 了.

I'm happy that both Poh and Julie got through.
Tomorrow is the last Master class with the top 20 re - union in the Masterchef kitchen.

and Sunday is the big day~

握手握手，我也是很高兴她们俩留下！！

shocked that Chris lost. He's been performed very consistently well and good at words as well.
I thought he'd be the Master. bad luck for him today :-(

as per Julie, she's disorganized and out of control just as Garry mentioned, is just a family cook. but it's just because of such FAMILY cook style, she may win the competition.

Poh, of course we like her as being a chinese. i would have lost interest watching the program if she dropped early. good luck with her esp when Chris is out :-)

LS 这位同学可以去书店或者newsagency 看看。。。。

没想到能留下，毕竟她没有完成啊～
Poh 好样的！！

I really really wish Poh can win.... Julie is too messy, and so disorganized. Can't imagine if she works in a busy restaurant. I think to title MasterChef Australia, this is the aspect the judges need to look at as well. To be honest, Julie is just too lucky to get into final two!

JULIE 留下来，DONNA HAY起了关键性作用。如果只是3个评判的话，她肯定走了。
我尽管希望Poh赢，但是JULIE 看样子是最后赢定了，她出书会好卖的。JULIE赢，符合白鬼子的所谓的主流要求。

嗬嗬，记得昨天的预告里，George特地在脸上涂了面粉表示说这样就可以比较象Julie。 :)

同意这个，否则的话，菜都没做完而入选，还满奇怪的。不过她的构想我也喜欢，好有人情味啊，虽然我是不大会去买烹饪书来看。

总决赛其实在7月2号已经录好, 大约有50 个人在现场以及后期制作, 是知道结果的. 他们签了保密合同. -- 谁要给我一点提示??

CALL it MonsterChef, with Channel 10's sizzling cooking reality show setting a scorching new ratings record for the program last night.

The final cook-off before Sunday's grand final attracted 2.36 million viewers across Australia, edging closer to expections the series will hit the 2.5 million when the winner is decided this weekend.

The record audience saw Channel 10 win the prime-time audience share with 41.7 per cent of viewers, bolstered by a strong performance by Ten's returning drama, Rush, which drew its best ratings result with 1.16 million viewers.

Wen MasterChef Australia finalists Julie Goodwin and Poh Ling Yeow go head-to-head in one of the most anticipated TV events of the year on Sunday, their approach couldn't be more different.

Julie, 38, is the mumsy one, the one with the knack for burning her fingers. Her philosophy is to cook from the heart and she often appears ready to burst into tears when things go wrong.

But despite what she calls her "stupid dithering look", Julie said it would be foolish of viewers to discount her as a contender for the winner's prize.

Poh is the steely one. Having migrated to Australia from Kuala Lumpur when she was nine, Poh is described by her mother Christina as "quite set in her mind and a very high achiever".

When she began her career as an artist, painting portraits and landscapes, Poh knocked on the door of every gallery in Adelaide until she found a place to display her work in the popular Hill Smith Gallery.

It is that kind of focus and determination that she believes can carry her through to victory.

Julie, who lives in Niagara Park on the Central Coast and who works as a consultant in the family's IT business, said watching her husband Mick, 38, and sons Joe, 13, Tom, 12, and Paddy, 10, devour her homemade creations is what warms her heart.

"Food is just such a joyful part of our family life and dinner is my favourite time of the day," she said.

"We all sit down at the table and we can't see the television from where we sit and we bless the beautiful food we've been given and talk about our day. We connect over food everyday."

After the exit of Chris Badenoch last night, no one was more shocked with the verdict and her progression to the final round than Julie. But her success has spurred her on and helped build her confidence.

"I am capable of winning this and I would love to win this," she said.

"I've learned a lot about myself and how I deal with pressure. I am toughening up and my stubborn streak has kept me focused."

If Poh wins it will be third time lucky. The chef from Norwood, in SA, escaped her first exit when judges Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston sent her away during auditions to make a dish which best reflected her Malaysian roots.

Then, after being eliminated following the wedding challenge, Poh made a surprise return two weeks ago.

"The best thing has been to throw myself in the deep end in this competition," she said.

"This competition has absolutely confirmed for me that I am happily, and very, obsessed with cooking.

"We are doing it 24/7 and living and breathing it and I am still loving it. I know I want a future in this."

Since premiering on April 27, MasterChef Australia has become a phenomenon. With more than two million viewers nationally, both finalists agreed they had struggled at times with their new celebrity.

Julie has found it particularly hard being away from her family as she has faced major highs and almighty lows. "I've never been away from the kids before and my family means the world to me, I love them to death," she said.

Mr Goodwin, 38, who was wooed 20 years ago by his wife's delectable Italian cooking, said some days had been tough.

"We are all so close and the toughest thing has been talking to Julie on the phone and that only happens a few times a week and if she's had a bad day and is in tears I just want to give her a hug," he said.

The couple have been married for 14 years after meeting at a St Vincent de Paul youth group.

"I have just wanted to be there and that has been really frustrating," he said.

The winner pockets $100,000 and a cookbook deal.

POH 昨天晚上做的几乎都是很传统的中国食品, 粥, 皮蛋, 面条 (不知道那个甜品叫啥~) 在JUDGES 看来, 用料是奇怪的. 除了COOKING SKILL, 好在POH 是个艺术家, 懂得PRESENTATION, 我觉得这个对她很有利.

而CHRIS 和 JULIE -- CHRIS 给我的印象越来越差, 尤其是这个礼拜, 说人家怎样不好的时候他高兴的小样, 切~所以,就算JULIE 没有做完也能赢, 我也不计较了.

人一旦有了BIAS, 还怎么公平呀~

冬菇茶

这两天的报纸都有一页是关于MASTER CHEF 的..今天的是关于POH 和 JULIE 的对比, 悉尼有名的厨子对比赛结果的TIPS, 还有 CHRIS 对 JULIE 进FINALE 的不满~
大部分的TIPS 都是认为POH 会赢~JULIE 不是厨师而是家庭主妇~~结果真的会是这样吗~~

THE roast was underdone, the gravy a no-show and the chocolate cake lacked truffles or orange sauce.

It was the dinner that topped off a week of disasters that included the notorious "puddle pie" incident.

Yet judges backed MasterChef's favourite mum Julie Goodwin over pork-pie-hatted opponent Chris Badenoch, turfing the Melbourne beer merchant from the final.

The decision had blogs running hot, with many crying "fix is in".

But Goodwin, the usually mild-mannered Central Coast mother-of-three was outraged at suggestions of favouritism, saying she was just better than Badenoch on the day.

"You know what, Chris wasn't robbed. It is judged daily on the plates of food that are put down in front of the judges," 38-year-old Goodwin said yesterday.

"I am just as deserving as anyone else. The food Chris put down on that particular challenge wasn't up to par and that's why he was eliminated. There is nothing rigged about it. There is nothing foreseen about it. Literally whatever is put down in each challenge is tasted and then it unfolds."

Badenoch, 41, made no secret of his disappointment at Goodwin making the show's final week.

In several interviews he criticised Goodwin, saying she was the weakest link in the competition after dodging "so many bullets".

Goodwin was quick to defence, saying: "I definitely think people underestimated me from start to finish, but I was fine by that".

"As far as Chris is concerned, he's welcome to his opinion, and he isn't backward in expressing it. He's a competitive individual."

While Goodwin admitted she'd love to win over rival Poh Ling Yeow, 35, on Sunday, she'd be happy to have taught her kids - Joe, 13, Tom, 12, and Paddy, 10 - lessons in appearing on the show.

"It's all about raising my children with good self-belief and to understand that if you can dream something and that if you really want something you refuse to quit. There was no way I was going to be quitting this . . . I am no quitter."

The two finalists will be put through a three-round challenge in the 90-minute final with celebrity chef Curtis Stone joining Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris on the judging panel.

First up is a taste test to identify the flavours in a beef bourguignon dish, while the second round will revisit the program's first invention test - to cook a whole chicken.

"Each challenge got more and more intense," Goodwin said. "It's been a huge learning curve."

The final challenge is to perfect Matt Moran's signature dish, a chocolate tart with chocolate half pipe and macaroons accompanied with chocolate sorbet, in two hours.

The top 20 MasterChef Australia contestants will also be in the kitchen to egg on their favourites.

"It's been intense, full-on, all of the above," Poh Ling Yeow said yesterday. "It's a really surreal feeling to be in the final - the success of the show has just been so overwhelming."

The MasterChef Australia finale, screening on Channel 10 on Sunday from 7.30pm, is expected to be the highest-rating program of the year.

A KITCHEN duel between two amateur cooks is expected to draw one of the biggest audiences in Australian television history tonight.

More than three million viewers are tipped to watch artist Poh Ling Yeow and mother of three Julie Goodwin go head to head in the final of Ten's surprise hit series MasterChef.

The record audience for a non-sports show in Australia is 3.35 million for the 2004 final of the talent quest Australian Idol, followed by 3.11 million for the final of the renovation reality series The Block in 2003.

MasterChef has blindsided its rivals this year, drawing unprecedented nightly audiences of more than two million as the contest for $100,000 and a cookbook publishing deal heated up.

Television commentator David Knox, from the website TV Tonight, predicted the Master Chef finale would be the year's most-watched program.

"If it tops Underbelly's 2.58 million - which it will - it will be the biggest show of the year,'' Knox said.

"But can it top the 3.35 million when Casey Donovan defeated Anthony Callea to become Australian Idol?''

Despite these high expectations, the program is not without its detractors.

Fans have questioned why Ling Yeow was allowed to return to the series after being evicted a month ago.

Show forums are also furiously arguing about Goodwin's presence in the final after she failed several times last week.

"Yes, I'm lucky that people made mistakes that were worse than mine. I started off the week in a really bad head space. I was approaching it all with a lot of fear because of the pressure and the fact the stakes were so high,'' Goodwin, 39, said.

"It ruined me. I made mistakes I would never have made at home and shouldn't be making at that point in the competition.''

Ling Yeow, 35, said she understood and agreed with the backlash concerning her return.

She said: "If I was one of the ones who remained, I would have been a little peeved. But I got here that way, so I won't disagree with the decision.''

MasterChef producer Mark Fennessy, from FremantleMedia Australia, denied suggestions the program was rigged.

"I guess that when something has this sort of traction, you're going to have the conspiracy theories,'' Fennessy said.

"We've heard a myriad of them - some more bizarre than others - but there's absolutely no truth to them.''

University Of Sydney media and communications lecturer Marc Brennan said MasterChef was popular because it was a show for uncertain times, devoid of the negativity synonymous with reality television.

"We're used to seeing reality TV as being quite bitchy and nasty and overtly competitive,'' Brennan said.

"MasterChef takes a softer approach. It's very supportive, very encouraging.

"It's a change for the better. We have enough bullying in our culture that we don't need to sit down and see it on TV as well.

"Times are tough at the moment, and we don't want to see aggressive television.

"We want something that's quite homely, quite inviting and comforting to watch.''

Channel Ten head of programming David Mott, who last year announced his MasterChef plans to a stunned room of media and marketing types, admitted he was surprised at the success of his ``massive gamble''.

"We certainly had our doubters, and I don't even attempt to play down the fact that stripping MasterChef (airing it nightly) was a massive roll of the dice for us,'' Mott told The Sunday Telegraph.

"But we believed in it, and we're genuinely elated that the audience has come along for the ride.''

MasterChef came into the Channel Ten schedule following last year's cancellation of Big Brother.

Mark Fennessy said the series wasn't an easy sell.

"This wasn't a slam-dunk sell into Ten. They walked away from it three times,'' he said.

"I guess we expected the uninterested reaction that followed the announcement last year that they were going to go with MasterChef.

"Everybody took a long, deep breath and thought: `Why the hell are they replacing Big Brother with a cooking show?'''

Fennessy eyed off the original British MasterChef format, a bland comparison with what was dished up locally, eight years ago.

"Food is something that's in everybody's lives and, while we'd had The Chopping Block and seen My Restaurant Rules, seen the Bill Grangers and the Gordon Ramsays, we felt this had something that hadn't been tapped into before,'' he said.

"It reached a deeper level and had a greater degree of warmth in regard to people's interest in food and what it said about our lives in general.''

结果多半是Julia以1-2分小胜。

xji

一整只鸡，就只做了一盘菜，而且就那么一点点，每个评委只能分到半个鸡卷。我只能说，食材浪费太严重。我以为只有大厨才浪费食材，没想到业余人士也浪费得厉害。Poh只做了海南鸡饭，别想老外会欣赏了，策略上的失误，估计用红酒和蘑菇加一个煎鸡胸也会更得赏识。
