It was such a ****e finale.
You could tell it was rigged.

The judges gave Julie heaps of hints and gave none to Poh, especially in the finale.
Julie was told about her pastry sticking, her sorbet being grainy and Poh wasn't even asked why she put the chocolate in the fridge!

You're confusing reality with what they choose to show on TV. There's a lot that goes on that doesn't get shown on TV - the editing was (obviously!) done after the fact to show what the producers decided they wanted to show - not necessarily what actually happened.

In the finale of a competition to win 100K, no one in their right mind would ignore a recipe in front of them that they were told to follow explicitely unless they had been told to lose or paid off.

You'd be surprised what pressure can do to an otherwise sensible person. Remember Trevor and the bait episode?

Also if you have seen the previous episodes, you can see allt he mistakes Julie makes and still manages to get through each week.
It makes for a home style "uyseable" cook-book at the end and a real life person who wins so they get heaps of people entering next year.

Should have been Justine who won imho.

They all made plenty of mistakes. One of the guest judges was on Channel 9 this morning, he got asked why Julie got put through instead of Lucas in the "two pies" challenge - he said that in the end, Lucas made two bad pies, Julie made one good pie and one bad one, and so she went through.

Chris was another example of the producers cutting the footage to show what they want to show (not just in the finale, but generally throughout the series). Every show needs a villain - Chris became that villain.

The winner was someone that appeals more to the Australian audience. A fat, ugly, very friendly, aussie mum of three. She should have been out a LONG time ago, she made a lot of bad mistakes over and over again but got away with it because that's how the script was written. Did anyone really think they would let an azn chick win?

Im looking forward to reading Julies upcoming cook book.
I hope all of the methods in her recipes include steps like

shaking uncontrollably because youre so nervous
sweating all over the food you are cooking (i think thats her secret ingredient!)
having a bit of a cry when something doesnt work out properly


I didnt watch a lot of the show. But I was really hoping someone like chris would win. He just seemed to have a grip over what he was doing moreso than a lot of the other contestants.

....so you don't think the show has given viewers the perception that all the help was given to Julie and as a result people have perceived that none was given to Poh. Remember Poh and Julie have known for a while who had won.

What I think was unfair with all the tasting challenges was....2nd person had the clear advantage as they didn't need to state an ingredient...so whoever goes 1st and gets it wrong is automatically out. I think the 2nd chef should have guessed an ingredient & if they get it wrong too keep going until one gets if right and so on & on.

I was at the movies last night & there was a wine ad (for Yalumba) in the pre-movie screening.

The final frames showed a group of people at a long table - I'm sure the laughing asian girl in the final few seconds was Poh. Apparently the ads been out for ages (I don't get to the movies very often).
