And the latest "scandal" and "outrage" to hit our screens courtesy of Masterchef Australia Season 2 is.....? Who knows. But you can almost rest assured that there will be something that happens which will fill the newspapers - mostly those from News Limited.
Last season we had Chris who apparently struck up a relationship with Julie, who was many years his junior. He is said to have had a girlfriend on the outside. Or was it two? Hard to remember. Then we had the allegations of cheating. And to add to it all, there were allegations that the whole show had been rigged to ensure Julie would win.
So what "scandal" will be concocted to boost the ratings this time? Could there be another love affair or secret tryst? Maybe someone will be turfed out for cheating or lying in their application. Or there could be an exclusive revelation of a criminal conviction in one of the contestant's past. We already know that judge Gary Mehigan breaks his leg on the set. But thats hardly a scandal. Or is it? Maybe he was pushed...
Whatever the scandal and outrage is, it will be sure to consume the Australia public and get us all talking. And you can bet that ACA and Today Tonight will be running story after story on the contestants. Anything to knock Network 10 and boost their own ratings in the process. Hell, I'll even bet ACA will get the alleged law breaker Ben Fordham onto the task.
And it will be all beautiful to watch. I might even write about it myself.
What do i think the scandal will be? I'm going out on a limb to predict that the winner of series 2 Masterchef Australia will be leaked prior to the final episode being screened. Masterchef episodes are actually filmed well in advance of their screening time.
NASA may have been able to keep the fake moon landing secret, but there are just too many people in the know on Masterchef. And wouldnt the other networks pay someone an absolute fortune to have the spoiler? If that occurs, I for one will be outraged.
Masterchef Series 2 starts at 7.30pm on April 19 on Network 10.

This piece comes across as a not very subtle plug for Masterchef.
Nice touch showing the starting date and time for the 2nd series.
"Cash for comment" anyone?
Guess whose wife became an administrator of a new fan page which appeared on a social networking site over the weekend? Don't know what stage of production they are but he must still be in the comp. No real surprise there.
and another admin of that page just advertised it on the MC facebook page under Who is YOUR favourite contestant this year?
He must still be in the house?
Not sure about the TV networks but the local rags are printing them and the forums are rife with them - this Masterchef tidbit is out in the national media...

Not sure where they are up to filming wise but it looks like you are right, it's only a matter of time until the name of the winner is leaked.
