I've completely ignored 'Satyameva Jayate', I don't care about the brickbats headed my way, but it seems plainly overrated. Of course with Aamir Khan hosting it - and doing what he is best at doing ("acting" in it) - I am sure it will reach masses and may make a bit of a difference.
The other reality show that I love is 'Dance India Dance - lil champs' that has some great talent on show and wonderful dancing. Siiigh, I wish I could so some "popping and locking" like some of those kids do.
But anyway this post is about the awesomeness that is "Junior MasterChef Australia".
I am not a foodie (though some of you who've seen me eating fish may beg to differ) and I am not a guy who enjoy's cooking.
Amongst the few things I do know how to make are - Omelette, Tea, Pulao and chocolate cake. An odd mix, I know :)
So back to MasterChef. It caught my eye because I was quite sure that kids in the range of 9-12 years would have no clue how to cook. I was wrong. They cook up a storm and they've so far dished out some awesome varieties of food!
Of course the kids are super talented, but what sets this show apart from some of the other reality shows is its lesson in positive reinforcement.
Every contest has a point system, the best 3 dishes get awarded points (6,4,3). However the other kids get a point each and the there is point awarded to the kid who is the most improved cook!
Fantastic! I love the concept and who knows I might just get inspired and start showing some interest in cooking. But don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Oh yeah for Junior Masterchef! I'm very skeptical about children's talent shows, and wouldn't go near them, but I think Masterchef is very well done. And seriously, how awesome are those kids! Makes me feel very ashamed of myself.
They are fantastic! I am sure the main version will now look boring. Children's talent show - DID li'l champs is very good as well!
