Idea
MasterChef expert Ben Pobjie reveals why Meghan will make this the sweetest, spiciest, most satisfying and most savory series we’ve ever seen.
we all love MasterChef. Given that we are Australians and don’t want to abandon even the last shred of humanity within us, we really have no choice.
We know no television show can match MasterChef When it comes to inspiration, heartwarming positivity, exciting competition and handy tips to make the most of your deconstructed paella. And perhaps the best part of the show is that it continues to raise the bar on its own.
Thought croquembouche was a challenging dessert? Meet the snow egg. Did you think Ben and Andy represented the true meaning of friendship? Meet Jess and Sashi. Thought Katy Perry was a top guest judge? Meet Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
Yes this year MasterChef It will feature the woman some have called the most important Duchess, probably after some of the ladies who were previously the Duchess of Sussex. Actress, duchess, influencer, lifestyle guru, philanthropist and friend to woodland animals around the world, Meghan Sussex, hits the culinary hub to give her take on what aspiring master chefs are cooking up. This is probably the best news MasterChef fans have been hearing something since we learned that Matt Preston’s Aaron’s tortellini wasn’t disgusting at all.
There are several reasons for the Duchess’s arrival MasterChef Headquarters is news that gladdens all our hearts and gives us hope that the world will not be such a cold and cruel place.
This is probably the best news MasterChef fans have heard since we learned that Matt Preston didn’t think Aaron’s tortellini was disgusting at all.
First, it will teach the show a much-needed lesson. If MasterChef had a fault in the past – I said IF! – headed downmarket. I mean, all these people are baking cakes and cooking pasta and showing off photos of themselves going fishing with their dads: it’s got a real panty-short vibe, right? A little RSL, a little hey hey it’s saturday. It could definitely work with a little polish; It’s also the kind of thing that makes a royal family star. When Sparks Fly (2014) is well positioned to deliver.
When Meghan graced MasterChef Now no one can say that this show is the television equivalent of the meat tray giveaway. It will have the Sussex stamp of approval, a signature from Buck House and Hollywood that will last forever, and it will be clear for what it is. MasterChef fans always knew deep down: this is truly the Duchess of reality shows.
But showing off is one thing; Meghan also brings an element of serious culinary gravitas to the role. Unlike her predecessor, Ms. Perry, no one would say that the façade is just superficial excitement with no substance behind it. Don’t forget that Meghan Markle is the creator and host of the popular Netflix show With love, MeghanSince 2025, he has been showcasing his culinary chops, not real chops, but his skills.
This isn’t a cooking amateur; This is a woman who literally built a global brand with her skills at the stove, who literally created an internationally acclaimed TV series based on her culinary mastery, who literally cooks in front of the cameras, who literally met Chrissy Teigen.
He is at least as accomplished a professional chef as others who will guest judge this season, such as Jimmy Barnes and Robert Irwin. Of course, in one sense this doesn’t matter; Being a guest judge isn’t about cooking, it’s about food, and well-placed sources indicate Meghan has done it several times.
But perhaps his greatest asset is Meghan, the Duchess and Queen of Sussex. Suitwill bring MasterChef The best gift of all this year: empathy. No judge yet seen on the show has been able to convey to the contestants the emotional support Meghan gives people as a natural function of her inner self.
There’s a reason why she has become the most beloved member of the royal family since Edward the Black Prince (1330-1376), and why all other members of the royal family are constantly jealous of her. This is because his ability to connect with ordinary people is incomparable.
You only have to see her on her own show, or in any of her numerous appearances on chat shows, or just publicly reaching out to the public to know that here is a woman who understands people and can provide them with help in their most difficult moments.
On a show like MasterChefIn an environment where stress and fatigue are the norm and everyone in attendance is constantly on the verge of highly marketable tears, each contestant finds himself in dire need of a friend rather than a functioning Hibachi. Meghan, friend of the world, will also be there to soothe their worries and calm their angry minds; Giving them a shoulder to cry on, an ear to talk to, and a hug where they can curl up and have a good cry.
For all these reasons and more, Meghan is an incomparable coup for the world. MasterChef producers, and for that reason alone, this year’s series will be the sweetest, spiciest, most satisfying and most appetizing series we’ve ever seen.
The Duchess of Sussex truly is the hero material everyone has been waiting for.
MasterChef Australia returns on Sunday, April 19 on Network Ten and Play.
