It's been reported that Channel Seven and Nine are launching their own variations on the hugely popular MasterChef aired on Ten Network.
Ten's chief programmer David Mott warned his rivals that viewers wouldn't be fooled, " . . . audiences (will) smell a rat and go "Hang on a second, why are the other networks copying? . . . I don't think audiences will respond."
Well, have I got news for you dear Mott.
If Nine or Seven have their marbles intact, their version of Masterchef will be a mini or rather kiddy version. Kids who masterchef! What can be more riveting than watching kids having a discourse on the virtues of fish cooked a la meuniere?
The show format will be more or less the same, except for two significant differences:
a. No host with plunging necklines and/or inappropriate accessories, no sirree. Instead there will be a kiddy host with high screeching voice making non-PC comments about everything and everyone on the show, preferably munching on a yellow pepper a la Chairman Kaga of Iron Chef.
b. The panel of judges will be also kids or if not, kid-like adults espousing esoteric culinary values and valuations. The adult thingie is a concessionary throw-in; after all we want to give moms and dads and nanas and fafas a lifeline to be glued to the show. I mean one can only take kiddy-speak up to a point.
There, if anyone at Nine and Seven is reading this, feel free to take my idea and run with it.
