... sounds like they've re-jigged the format a bit!
Yep, from Freeview;This year the judges are mixing it up – introducing a whole new set of challenges the passionate amateurs must complete in order to progress in the competition.Each week for five weeks, nine home cooks cook for the judges. This year their first test is the audition round, in which they must cook their signature dish - one that tells John and
Gregg who they are as a cook and how good they could become. John and Gregg don't watch the chefs in the kitchen. Instead, they taste each dish in the new MasterChef Tasting Room. After they have tasted all nine dishes, the best three dishes will be awarded a coveted MasterChef apron, securing their place in the competition. The remaining six contestants then get another chance to impress the judges and win themselves an apron.
If they cooked a sweet dish in the first round, they must prepare a savoury dish now, or vice versa. This time, John and Gregg are in the kitchen witnessing their every move. The pressure is intense and the stakes are high as only four cooks can join the three already fast-tracked in the next round of challenges. For the other two, their MasterChef dream will be over.
Not sure we like the new format , seems to cram too much in the time available , so less of cooking techniques , although not having Greg and John prowling around is an improvement .
Not a lot to separate cooks in first round , second round generally agreed , accept for the last two , we chose Paul over Laura
Have we seen Pookie before on some other program ?

Australian Masterchef can be brutal...
Lots of tears in the two series I've seen. They do seem to take it a lot more seriously though. Some give up their jobs, drop out of University to take part. Plus I think theres more commitment, ie. they all live in houses together away from their families while filming.
And, of course theres $250K prize money to kick off with.
Far better "entertainment" than the BBC original but then its a much bigger production and obviously far more money thrown at it and sponsoship of everything possible on camera.
