I watched “Masterchef” last night. Not really my bag but it was on and some of the contenders were likable enough. The judges are quite odd and unpleasant. One of them looks like he’s had far too much to drink over the years and is a tedious cockney stereotype – “That mash is lumpy – SORT IT AHHT!” etc.
2 contenders stuck out. One was dismissed from the competition. He was called Terry and is unemployed. He clearly has confidence issues and has the annoying habit (in a chef) of playing with his hair, or wiping his face, or fiddling with his ears when stressed – which is constantly. Yum, nice seasoning in them there dishes.
The other one of note is a bloke whose name I forget. He’s a paediatrician. The programme makers decided to call him a “children’s doctor” throughout. Erm why?
The only reasons I can think of are:
a: They think people are too stupid to know what a “paediatrician” is.
b: they think people are stupid enough to think “paedophile? Facking BBC giving someone like that time on the channel. What were they thinking? I’m going to smack someone.”
Are the public really that stupid? I know possibly a silly question.
