MasterChef Australia :: The Drinking Game

The 2015 season of MasterChef Australia has begun, which means that we are once more being treated to souffles with a side of sob story.

L-R: Gary Mehigan, Shannon Bennett, Matt Preston & George Calombaris

My husband & I have our own little MC drinking game at home (we don't actually imbibe, because we are responsible parents; we just yell DRINK at the TV) so I thought I'd put one together so all of you lovelies can play along at home.

PLEASE NOTE: mamamedia does actually encourage responsible drinking, so if you're on the verge of being sick or, y'know, dying, please stop. Also, if you're under legal drinking age, play along with juice or something.

DRINK ONCE IF...

...Any of the following phrases are uttered by judges or contestants:

"Journey" (aaaand I'm drunk already!)

"Food dream"

"Hero of the dish"

"It's me on a plate"

"Eat with your eyes"

"Boom boom, shake the room!"

"I've cooked this a million times!" (normally followed by abject failure)

"I've never cooked with *insert ingredient* before, but it should be fine!" (again, normally followed by failure)

DRINK TWICE IF...

...A contestant completely butchers their dish, but serves it up as "deconstructed"

...A contestant mentions a deceased relative

...A contestant expresses a desire to impress their disapproving family

...A contestant cuts themselves

...A contestant burns themselves

...George talks about eating lambs brains like chicken nuggets as a child (this seriously comes up every season. I love Georgie though, so it's OK)

...Matt appears sans cravat

DRINK EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE IF...

...A contestant actually manages to perfectly recreate a chef's creation in the Pressure Test

Happy drinking!

MasterChef airs Sunday - Thursday on Channel 10 from 7:30.
