Masterchef Australia

When we (my family) were trying to kill time after school, flipping through channels, hoping there’d be something nice to watch on Starworld, we often came across Masterchef – Australia, USA and the worst of the lot Masterchef India. And we’d stupidly scream at the TV as though the people inside could hear us, saying that it’s stupid, melodramatic, such a complete waste of time, “Are the Starworld people crazy to allot so much time to this shit”, “I don’t understand what has to go wrong with people’s brains for them to actually sit and watch this” and what not. There was also an instance where my mother was telling us about some friends who religiously watched Masterchef and the news together as a family every day (my father was very enthusiastic about adopting the news part into our family routine) and we were like o.O? Seriously? Masterchef of all things??

But guess what? We figured out what goes wrong.. actually we didn’t really figure it out; more like something went wrong with us too. My mother, brother and I watch Masterchef at 9 pm every day that it’s on. I don’t even remember why we started watching… At the time, it was kind of weird. We’d watch it between shows, during the ads in another channel, and we frequently forgot to go back to whatever it was we were watching. And Masterchef was showered with more of our critical crap. Now, we know all the people on the show, we try to predict the outcomes of the elimination challenges, team challenges and immunity challenges! We go “Oh, I wished she had gotten eliminated instead of him” “I can’t believe they gave that a 9 and the other one only a 7” “Holy shit! Did you see that? That’s insane! Crazy idiots..” Hehe, Masterchef is fun. We still make fun of it. Their metaphors and similies are simply to die for! :D

My father hasn’t been converted yet. He was appalled when we told him about it (btw, we still haven’t incorporated the news watching :P)… But don’t worry, give him some time, he’ll get hypnotized too.

Maybe you should start watching too. It's amazing for killing time!
