Funnily enough, some people don’t really care for that. The contestants lean over the rail hurling encouragement and advice at someone sweating it out in the kitchen. “One particular time I was up for an immunity pin and I was doing the ‘pretend to fuss’ at the end, and I remembered I’d forgotten to season my peas and the salt was so close to my hand but I knew there were five cameras on me so I couldn’t do anything! Naturally, the judges said the dish was tasty except the peas were under-seasoned.” “They want to make it fair for us, so for example, someone forgot to pack the pantry shelf properly, of course, they are going to stop the clock and fix it, but the duration of the challenge doesn’t change. There’s also a “fair go” rule when it comes to challenges. The clock has stopped because we aren’t touching anything.” “That’s when they get those overhead shots, during that time. “But they still need to get all of the shots from different cameras, so we would finish cooking and then have to step away from the bench, put all of our utensils down, stop touching the dish and then the next two to three minutes, just pretend to fuss around our plates.” “The challenges are definitely a scramble, they will not compromise on the time you are given,” Alice says. Make no mistake, the contestants are under the pump, but next time they show a shot of someone looking scattered while they fluff around at their bench, you may want to take a closer look. Challenges are not exactly what they seem We asked the Season 4 almost-finalist: what’s going on behind the aprons and immunity pins?ġ. Who better to clear up the mess than MasterChef star pupil, Alice Zaslavsky. What are they hiding behind the aprons? Pre-packaged sauce? Heaven forbid! Nevertheless, we all have our doubts about how real this reality TV show is. We love it when George rises to his tiptoes to deliver a message, when Matt puts a spoonful of something in his mouth then stares whimsically into the distance while he masticates, and Gary, we just love Gary. Hang on to your colanders, and keep a lid on your crock pots, MasterChef is back! They’ve been teasing us with ads for weeks, claiming (as they always do) that this is the best crop of contestants they’ve ever had.
