One of the few brunettes and very natural. Nothing artificial about looks or behaviour. Why is sobbing on tv acceptable? They wouldn't get away with it in the workplace. Still, the makers of these shows, love it. At this stage, if I'd gone on this show I'd still be there, I can cook a frittata or a vegetable stack, not to mention a pasta, basil, garlic, lemon.

Why run the risk of allowing personalities and stars to emerge when you can completely manipulate it? I'm a tad surprised that the food photog got through with his pasta dish, but then the competition for the six spots was pretty thin. I was disappointed that the editors, having gone for cheap thrills all the way through so far, didn't focus in on the unsuccessful-simple-pasta-dish-guy's face - I was hoping for a stink-eye. WTF is it with the Mission Beach guy. <i>Because of Masterchef he got an apprenticeship???</i> What, before it had even aired? So, I'm picturing him going to a restaurant and saying "I've just auditioned for a new reality TV show about cooking and I got through to the final 50 - can I have a job?". Do George, Matt and Gary write references? I'm glad he's gone, though. He was just too much for me. Now to get rid of the vegetarian. I hate the editing in this, but am not surprised by it.
