Yes, MasterChef confirmed gimmicky. Only watched the US version, but I suspect it's as gimmicky or more than the Lolstralian version. I prefer Top Chef (which while gimmicky, isn't built all SUPER DRAMA-like), but unfortunately I've watched all the seasons. MasterChef UK for some reason too hard to find on the interwebs last time I tried.
ETA: worst part about MaaaaasterChef is imo the constant overuse of superlatives. Guess what bros, every episode can't be the most challenging pressure test ever. Not everything is stunning and delicious. Tilting as ****.
