I love the UK format (unless its changed to the same format of the Oz and US shows). I actually dont like the Oz and US versions. Not enough focus on the food (only one dish?) too many contestants. Too much like any other reality show. The US version has Gordon Ramsay as a judge and that in itself is a put off for me.
I was completely addicted to the UK version (more focus on the food, the process and the contestants are really put through some cool challenges).
There have been a few Masterchef Australia series' although they seem to use a different layout now. A bit more exciting than the UK one I think but both are good!
MC Oz is awesome. My old neighbor back home won a previous series!!
No, really? There's only been one series before the one showing here now, hasn't there? Anyhow, I must say, I do prefer it to the UK one nowadays.
