TVTonight said it was two seasons but have since corrected themselves. So it’s 2x Survivor and 1xMasterChef ---

Didn’t they do a “Back To Win” series in 2020? Why again? At least this season’s judges will be back next year. Their chemistry were good. ---

Because they hope and think it will age higher than a normal season. But I too feel it’s quite soon for another back to win series. But I guess for a show that’s been going for as long as Masterchef has, it’s like annual leave… you accrue it at a faster rate after 10 years and can take it every 5 years. ---

They also did a fans vs favourites season in 2022, which is when Billie won for a second time. Then there’s been returnee’s on Dessert Masters too. So I’m torn if this is a good idea but have enjoyed all the returnee seasons so far. It will be interesting to see if anyone returns for a third time or if it will mostly be second timers and people from recent seasons. ---

Thats right. I forgot about the “Fans vs Favourites” version. Is it too many versions of returnees returning? I dunno. They usually do seem to rate. ---

The start of ad nauseum of MasterChef commercials… Another “Back To Win” series? We had one in 2020. On top of “Fans vs Favourites” in 2022. I’m not the biggest fans of former contestants returning (albeit as a once off series for nostalgic reasons), but 3 seasons from 6 of returnees is too many in this short time frame. ---
