Easy for Ange to do a report given they filmed this at Pyrmont, in which case I would’ve thought 10 could have produced this inhouse like Dog House etc, but maybe rights were tied to Endemol Shine.
Of note, looks like Woolworths are on board as a sponsor (which I see is confirmed from the B&T story above), good to see some celebrity guests, and some new segments like ‘The Chefs Challenge’.
It’s Hayden Quinn and Kimberley Miles (Team Capsicum) v Mike Reid and Kimberley’s friend and neighbour Marcelle Stanbouli (Team Tomato) in the season premiere. Kim previously competed on season 2 of Zumbo’s Just Desserts.
The home cook in the winning team receives a $500 voucher from Woolworths.
I love the show, however Miguel is way over the top with his enthusiasm, I hope for the future episodes he has managed to tone it down a notch or three.
Props to 10 for trying something different from their usual offerings - even if it isn’t a new concept.
I agree Miguel is too shouty and forceful. He makes the show come across as a gimmick, in the same cheesy way Grand has done with DOND. They would have been better with a different host - perhaps someone like Julie Goodwin?
Sets also looked quite low budget, but I appreciate these aren’t permanent sets these day.
Good little show for Friday nights, but yes like others are saying, Miguel need to just tone it down. I could only image the older demographic are have trouble understanding him.
