Uhhh Gordon clearly stated THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISION IN THE HISTORY OF MASTERCHEF.
In other news, Channel4's given him another show: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/gordon-ramsays-ultimate-cookery-course

As in "Heathcliff"
I thought it was predictable that Christine would win the season from the beginning since she was very markable person.

This thread is nauseating. People really didn't think Christine deserved to win? I'm pretty sure she never put out one bad dish the entire season. Josh was eliminated at one point and he didn't fully cook his lobster. The decision seems pretty damn easy to me but as usual people are going to bitch just to bitch

Before or after I do?

Yeah I was really hoping for Josh to win. He did so much shit throughout the season. He showed off so many crazy techniques. Christine is good but doesn't seem to know quite as much as Josh.
I go back and forth on her. I thought she was really hot at one point, and she obviously has a great body. But that dumb red lipstick and those really dumb pigtails are such a turn off. If she dressed more like a normal person she'd be so much hotter.

She looked really cute in her last episode, but she looked so dumb last night. I don't know what she was thinking.
Really happy for Christine, but unforunately I think the producers stepped in and gave her the win. It did seem like it was really close and tough decision though. I think Josh should have got extra points for trying something different where as Christine played it safe and simple. Every dish Josh put out looked good and apparently tasted good to great. Ok, he under cooked the lobster, but he had never cooked it before and took a risk. You could have just as easily knocked Christine for the presentation of some of her dishes.
That said, I'm really happy for Christine. She's just so adorable and really held her own the entire season. All in all a good season of the show and I will be tuning in next season.

Damn Josh, you had to cook Lobster....Would probably have been more interested in his cook book (Assuming those deals actually pan out).
Christine is definitely a huge inspiration though so I'm happy for her. That pork looked mm mmm good.

Im with Joe when it comes to this. He took a risk, again over complicated things and failed why give him points for that? If taking risks and over complicating shit would make you win Tali would be mastechef
final challenge was about what they learned. Christine learned to balance a menu and believe in what she cooked. What did josh learn?

My favorite part is that he literally says this every single new season of every single one of his shows. It's not a difficult decision. They new right from the beginning that they were going to do everything they could to make Christine win.

Hahhaha just the thought of tali n the finale slays me. Imagine what he would do. Can't even picture it.

Just finished watching. SO happy she one. She deserved to win the whole season. Some of her dishes like that crab martini was just mind boggling.
As for the finale i thought it was obvious as fuck she was going to win. It seems like all of you are just going by looks and being creative. When both of that doesn't mean shit if it doesn't taste good. Josh's overcooked app is what cost him the title. Period. Going the extra mile doesn't mean anything if you fuck up on the main component. BUT he did a great job and deserved to be in the finale. The amount of miracles this dude pulled off was pretty entertaining.
And like someone else said the ending is really anti climatic.
The winner is Christine!!..5 second celebration...credits
Are the international episodes good? I've been tempted to watch.

Oh absolutely, but it's not like the entire dish was completely fucked. Just that one component and the stated right before how hard it is to cook lobster just right.
Regardless, I have no real problem with Christine winning and I'm glad it came down to those 2 in the final. I don't care what anybody says, Josh deserved to be in the finals. He'd had been on a damn tear ever since he fought his way back.

I like the Australian ones. There were 70 episodes for the 2012 season, so you really get to know every single person in the top 24 and their cooking styles and stuff. Add in the Masterclass episodes and it actually becomes super fun to watch. A+ would recommend.
I think they picked Christine because she could do some sponsor deal stuff and become the face of a company and be all inspirational and stuff. Fox can milk the crap out of a blind Asian woman who can cook well.
Another benefit of letting Christine win is now Josh could get offers from Gordon/Graham/Joe/others to work in their restaurants and train him to be a great chef and run a restaurant. Even Joe said a few times, there's no way a blind woman can do well in a restaurant or line-cook scenario, so letting Josh have that opportunity would be better.

No, this is actually a good way to describe the US series.
And it's why we should love it.

I like it when George laughs a little too hard at something.
It gets really awkward because Gary's trying to continue on with the show or challenge, but you can still hear George laughing in the back.

I posted at the top of this page about Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course.
Been watching it and it's a quite good show. It's Ramsay doing a cooking show and has a good number of tips outside of the recipes. Faster paced and more "hip" (with complicated shoes I assume) than his past in the home DVDs and such. But it is centered around stuff you can cook at home.
And things are brilliant and stunning.
Can find it on eztv. Or the Channel4 site if you're in the region.

sorry for the bumb, but I just finished watching all three seasons and both season 2 & 3 were bullshit. Adrien were as good as Jennifer and Josh >> Christine. Christine played on her blind card the whole time for the judges to feel sorry for her. Jennifer was just an angry bitch thanks to her childish vendetta with Christian.
It seems that a male cannot win this competition.

I have a hard time feeling cynical about Christine Ha. I guess I'm just a sucker, but contest aside, what she's able to do is phenomenal. I might even pick up the cookbook.
She was a good cook, but masterchef? I remember that she barely made it in the first round.

I dont feel Christine herself played up her blindness at all. I feel the judges cut her more slack because of it though, which wasnt fair to other competitors, but nothing was of her own doing.

Josh's dishes looked more delicious to me, but oh well. Also rooted for Adrien, but it seems my favorite chefs never win :/

Played on her blind card? Seriously? What an ignorant thing to say
Exactly. Everyone kept commenting on her palette for a reason. She spent so much time tasting and adjusting her dishes accordingly. It's been proven than losing one sense improves the others, so she used this to her advantage.
