Which is your right.
But being able to cook isn't about doing hardcore things. it's how well you do the really, really simple things, and understanding flavours (there you go, Monty, happy?). Masterchef Oz tends to have contestants that care too much about how many clever things they did. Although I don't watch it regularly to be fair.

Seriously, australian girls are well nice, they're generally good looking, have a good attitude.
They're like americans if america didn't have religion, and south africa if they didn't have appartihide.

ah yes, see where you are coming from
in the couple of series I've watched there have been typically one or two people who have the skills with flavour and stuff, but you are right, in that respect Professionals is better.

Bottom line is though, I've learned a load about technique from watching it, which has improved my application of my ideas, and I've found the show thoroughly entertaining.
