"It's a difficult decision" What, AGAIN? - The format may have changed, but the same old lines are still going around! - The British version of the show taking after the Australian. It's not good! The Flickster7:50am Fri 3 Feb
Rating 6.7
Now an ex viewer Contestants who drop out for reasons not stated...others who seem to take a day off when they feel like it. That awful India Fisher. Sloppy editing (they used the 'Tonight it begins again' narrative *every* night in t he first week)....And always, Wallace and Torrode (especially Wallace) trying to generate faux tension by shouting and panicking.....I just can't stand it any more.
Goodbye masterchef - it was fun....but not any more. davidp1:18pm Thu 2 Feb

Repetitive boring tripe Who on earth discovered Greg and thought,I know this man belongs on TV? As for that womans bloody voice, for goodness sake get rid of her. My wife is daft enough to watch the programme, but frankly I think it is time it was shelved. Rodders10:31pm Tue 24 Jan

India Fisher This woman's voice makes me quite ill. Hurler9:35pm Thu 19 Jan
India Fisher... Never used to watch MC, and tuned in for two minutes as my partner likes it. But I had to leave the room after as soon as India Fisher started talking. I've never heard someone sound so patronising!!! God she's awful. Won't be missing much. oggie pirate9:11pm Thu 19 Jan
music torture Great show but the music is like being tortured ...why ..it winds all my family up ..can we have a choice with or without the music ...Peter Peter9:09pm Wed 18 Jan
Unbearable! Can't believe the BBC have this programme on three nights a week at prime time. I cannot abide that woman's voice, it makes a once watchable programme something to be avoided. Come on BBC, instead of wasting millions building a new centre in Salford, why not spend it on a new series of Spooks or Waking the Dead. MasterChef belongs on BBC2. Devonshire lass1:08pm Wed 18 Jan
Good news It seems they are dropping the new format due to complaints. Hopefully they will just go back to the old style. Brown Derby7:20pm Tue 17 Jan
narration I agrre with prevoius comments about India fishers voice. Alsothe narration is uneccessary, time filling and boring! lightswitch11:49am Tue 17 Jan
Voiceover Used to enjoy masterchef but can`t sit and listen to India Fishers` voice. Have been driven to Masterchef Australia and despite myself prefer the format and lack of narration. Lose the most irritating and condescending voice on TV and I will switch on again. daveG7:44pm Mon 12 Dec
its lost its way cannot be bothered with it any more. cranbury11:26am Mon 7 Nov
voice over given up watching.That voice over woman is awfull.. lion8:05pm Sun 6 Nov
India Fisher India Fisher - she annoys me so much that I might have to stop watching Masterchef. NOBODY has a natural voice that sounds like hers - she's also popping up in adverts. Eeeek - get rid of that woman, please! Rosie5:04pm Wed 19 Oct
Ban Master Chef title for amateurs I've been a professional chef for 25yrs. All these shows where they have amateurs or mostly people of other trades competing to be called a Master Chef, it makes a mockery of our industry. One needs to 'earn' the title, so don't belittle the real chefs. Half of all contestants couldn't cook to save their lives and yet get phenominal prizes and careers at the end of it. Shameful! Disgusted2:03pm Tue 26 Jul
love i love masterchef but don't comment on this. shaz11:54pm Thu 26 May

De Ja Vous Is this show not simply a rip off of Cookery School on Channel 4?
Oh wait, that`s right Cookery School is simply plagiarising Masterchef! Irish Mick2:22am Wed 23 Mar
Mix of contestants, etc What do you think of the contestants this year? I think Annie is great because she's so little and softly spoken, yet she's obviously an absolute whizz in the kitchen. I also like the American guy with the glasses. He takes a lot of stick and has so much doubt cast on him, yet looks so humble when they say his dishes are good. I'm not as taken with that vegetarian woman. Her 'passion' comes across quite aggressively and I remember in the heats when she cooked the same Thai dish as someone else and said to G and J, "Mine's going to be better because SHE hasn't been to Thailand." I thought, how rude! I'm quite liking the new format and I'm glad they're throwing in a greater variety of tests in the studio too. I used to get a bit bored with the pro-kitchen ones where they'd all have a struggle but always managed to 'turn out perfect plates' by the end of service! Ems7:24pm Sun 20 Mar
All very dramatic and tense stuff but . . . . . . . . you do kind of yearn for the good old days of soothing calm with Lloyd and some arbitrary guest ruminating in a comfy chair about traditional dinner party fare, when a split sauce was a cause for disappointment but not suicidal despair. Hmmm1:10pm Wed 16 Mar
A shame... What I loved about the old format was the process - seeing the way people cook and approach food, and slowly following the program over a few weeks. In this age of instant gratification, it's no wonder Masterchef has copied the predominate style, but it's a shame that everything's happening so quickly. All we have seen is a sped up, intensified version of the old show, with much less of the depth. Alex10:20pm Thu 10 Mar
Masterchef The new format is not as good as the original it seems to be trying to copy Hells Kitchen. Definately lost my attention Jill Jay5:43pm Wed 9 Mar
NAILS AND HATS RED NAILS ARGH....NO HATS SUPPOSED TO BE SEMI PRO...LOVELY CHIP OF RED NAIL VARNISH IN THE DOUGH MMMM YUMMY AND FOR DESSERT HAIR.. deke rivers9:21pm Thu 24 Feb
Nails I think it discusting that you have a young lady on your show and she is kneading her pastry with her bright red nail varnish on, surly this shouldnt be allowed emmadee9:11pm Thu 24 Feb
les what happened to ' if it ain't broke - don't fix it ' ? A reasonable programme ruined . Les6:04pm Thu 24 Feb
Please Be Kind... Rewind. Agree fully with the X factor comparison to the reformat. I used to like the old format. There's too many cooks in this kitchen which is leading it to skip over many of the contestant's dishes with just a few seconds commentary, And with all the entrants on at the same time it's hard to get a feel for each's style and personality.
Plus the nauseating family waiting in the wings is just not needed or wanted.
The huge set is cold and lacks the warmth and intimacy of it's predecessor. Format4:24am Thu 24 Feb
An OK show..now ruined Yeah I didn't mind the old masterchef, but Grendel you're spot on, it's now unwatchable irritating rubbish. chompy_imo12:22am Thu 24 Feb
The Voice and Gregg Wallace I watched this new series tonight - got irritated half way through and turned it over - repeat phrase after repeat phrase - nauseating crap. Shall not be watching again. Dave - Ilford9:59pm Wed 23 Feb
Shut the voice-over UP! With her breathy predictable phrasing she is driving us NUTS! Capree3:32pm Wed 23 Feb
Is anybody listening? Love the programme but can't bear to watch with sound on as 'THE V0ICE' is intensley irritating and as unbearable as nails across a blackboard!!! Please listen to everyones comments, we can't all be wrong. You'd triple viewing numbers if you made this change. India can't help her voice but please don't inflct it on us!!! Thank God for subtitles!!9:58pm Thu 17 Feb
Masterchef - more like X Factor chef Watched the first in the new series last night - it was dreadful - more like X Factor - and I agree with other comments on the voice over - BBC you need to make some serious changes and change the production team and as for Wallace and Gromit - ok in small doses but please stop the close up shots of Wallace disapproving of Gromit's decisions! Mikey8:04pm Thu 17 Feb
Too much sauce Australian Mastechef fans were horrified when they saw what their local TV company had done with the format, dragging it down to Pop Idol level by featuring the losers, adding the cheap emotional input of family and friends and setting the whole thing in a studio barn instead of a kitchen. Guess what, the original has copied the flawed wannabe, and it's a disaster. To misquote Spinal Tap - This is treading water in a sea of retarded banality - They just lost a dedicated viewer Grendel11:03am Thu 17 Feb
