Life after Junior Masterchef....sucks. Seriously. I mean, it's nice that the very nice people at Masterchef Australia didn't waste any time in putting out the new season of the show right after the Junior version ended...but umm, I'm really not that enthused about the adult contenders on the show. They, ermm..seem to lack character. I miss Sienna's pretty smile and Isabella's coyness! Compared to their obvious cuteness, these adults just seem to be so clumsy and run-of-the-mill. Don't like :(
Yet, come 9 pm and I'm hunting for the remote because when compared to the other stuff going on on television currently, even the b-o-r-i-n-g adults on Masterchef come across as angels. I have never felt more disconnected from Indian television. Growing up, I would devour Mastarcard Family Fortunes with as much enthu as I would Friends. Anita Kanwar's Inspector KC in the detective serial Saboot was one of my favourite characters on television. Hell, I could even put up with Neena Gupta in the rather dramatic Saans!
Not anymore. I've never felt more dependent on American and British (and now Australian) television for my entertainment fix. And now that most of my favourites (The Good Wife, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, The Mentalist, Modern Family, in no particular order) are on a break till later this year, I'm so parched for good television! (I do wonder if Sorkin's The Newsroom is worth a shot!)
It looks like I'll have to rethink my affections for the a.d.u.l.t.s on Masterchef Australia, after all. Come on, guys, show some spark!

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you on Junior Masterchef.The kids were so adorable!I do watch the new season of MC Australia coz I am so addicted to this series:).
ReplyDeleteRegarding the query on my blog,I did not use baking powder. The cookies were awesome!
Been watching the new season, too. It's addictive for sure, but I think the contestants this time aren't half as inspired as the last season, no? Thanks for the clarification on the baking powder! Will def try these out. This recipe looks so easy. Is it okay to use salted butter for this recipe?
