I much prefer it to uk version, the judges actually help out and aren't ******.

Just finished watching it, looks like it has potential to be a good series.

Thoroughly enjoyed the previous 3 series so have high hopes for this, there's something about the Aussie version they just seem to get the balance right

I think I watched most of this when it was out in Aus? Who are the people in it?

Not sure yet! They were whittling the numbers down last night to the top 50 and are now beginning to select the top 24.

I watched the first series while I was traveling in Australia. It was great TV and have just watched the re-run of it over the last month or so!

The gf and I watched it every episode (where possible) and we weren't the only ones. Every hostel we stayed at always had a massive crowd around when it was on!

Watched every series so far and it's fantastic tv. That Yukio fella looks like he is about to cry every minute already.

Season 4 is my favourite, already finished watching the season (I'm an aussie). But if it's on TV here again I may as well watch it again

I felt the presenters really connected more with the contestants this season.

Also who I thought would be the clear, standout winners, did not win.. Won't spoil it with more info though!

But didn't she do well!

I thought the one who thought about abandoning the lamb was screwed, but hey, again not bad.

Ahh so glad this is back

Grrr, better not turn out like Julie Goodwin (Season 1 winner) who had me grinding my teeth everytime she was on screen...

Haha no.. it was much better, I was happy for any of the contestants to win really, they were all really good, but I personally felt that a couple were more standout contestants than others. Some of my friends felt different, personal preference really.

Allready so much better than uk version. Master classes are brilliant.
But god that women is annoying, the one which I imagine would scrub up especially well( is it Alice), but wears giant glasses which looks idiotic.

Haha I know. I've never seen a clearer "Do not do this" from Gary and George before- ignored.

The one in the beanie hat who keeps crying is also annoying.

Felt bad for the meek, softly spoken oriental guy who didn't make it (episode before last).

The UK version is just so up itself in comparison.

She sounds exactly like Dani venn from last season, it's odd.

Keep us posted for every single time she cries.....i suspect this thread would be about 300 pages long at the end of the season.

For some reason i really dislike that Beau chap...hes getting right on my moobs.

Shelster · 17 Sep 2012 at 15:40

Are we going to have bets on how soon into tonight's show she starts her greetin'?

Up for elimination and loosing captain......I give her 35 seconds. She does have a beany hat for every occasion though.

Agree that glasses girls is so annoying...Mrs S can't stand her either.

Not sure who I want to win this season either yet...but do know that I don't want Silly Glasses, Beany Hat or Steve Buscemi winning.
