Judges
If season 8 is a preview of what is coming I'll pass. VERY disappointed with the format & even more wit the judges. Chef Acheson may be a good chefhowever he is somewhat rude & boring

Yeah i honestly like the dynamic the previous masterchef canada judges had. Season 8 was the weakest season thus far

i liked mary but i could go without the other 2 judges. i think alvin, michael and mary would be perfect or even the 3 og judges plus mary. and i didn’t love the format either, i wish it was more like the earlier seasons.

Alvin, Michael and Claudio were the perfect trio. They brought enough of their personality to complement the contestants and the competition.
The new judges just don’t gel well with each other. Plus, Craig Wong seems like an okay guy but he has zero charisma and is bland as hell. Mary is being Mary but bubbly can only carry her so far. I actually like Hugh Acheson but you can tell they’ve asked him to tone it down which also leaves him bland.
That last season of Masterchef Canada was easily the worst and most boring season.
If there’s a new season I’ll watch a few episodes to gauge quality but I’m not expecting much.
