It feels like it's been barely a week since Gordon Ramsey and co has crowned the third Masterchef winner (if you're not watching it on Astro) in America, and now Masterchef Malaysia is back on (pay) TV screens.
I haven't been watching it all that much (not out of choice), but because...
- the 'rents now have Chinese dramas to watch on weeknights,
- people would rather not waste their time uploading on YouTube, and
- I have no idea when the weekend repeats are... yet
What little I've seen of the first two weeks is the audition and bootcamp stage - culling 40 people to get their Top 24 at Taylor's lakeside campus and at some lovely resort (I'm just guessing, because the audience only sees one part of the place) in Pahang. I feel no need to watch the auditions because they're not terribly exciting. Nope, I don't recall seeing any Singaporeans in the bunch (even though they were welcomed to audition), but there more people from the other side of the South China Sea following the success of the runner up (who's from Sabah) in the first season.
I guess following the "scandal" of the first season, Chef Adu Amran is now a permanent third judge? Just as well - I couldn't take a guy that's dressed like a Bond villain half the time seriously.
Here are the Top 24, revealed..
At least you don't see anyone doing the Fruit Ninja this round, like last season's opening montage, which cracked me up every time I saw it. But I do give them props for using an original composition and not using an already famous pop song like in Australian Masterchef (Katy Perry's Hot and Cold, guys? Really?).
There are some loudmouth makciks in the bunch - I can't wait to see what happens.
