Talk:MasterChef Australia series 12

Episodes and Ratings Section Should Be Formatted as a Sunday-Thursday Week

Hi @158.140.182.15:,

The formatting has always been between Sunday-Thursday in the "Episodes and Ratings" section and, although the first few weeks were likely filmed with the belief that eliminations would air on Thursdays, the show is packaged in advertisements and in all mentions by Network Ten as from Sunday to Thursday.

On Have You Been Paying Attention? tonight (11 May 2020), the Sunday delivery challenge episode is (despite Andy's video saying it was part of Suburban Melbourne Week) clearly shown as being a part of Twists Week. In all advertising and press kits, 10 starts a week of MasterChef as being Sundays and ends in on Thursdays, despite formatting changes.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on why formatting has to be changed, but it has been general consensus in Australia as being between Sundays to Saturdays than the "work week" starting on Monday to Sunday. I don't believe a change it episode formats is sufficient enough for Sundays being moved to a prior week when it has been labelled as the week it is a part of.

Ramsay's influence finished on a Sunday night. The "suburban week" theme began on a Monday and finished on a Sunday. "Twists" began on a Monday. Clearly, 2020 is based on a Monday to Sunday week. Arguments about what "has always been" are irrelevant. Things change. Just like the judges. WWGB (talk) 12:14, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

@WWGB: Do you think that for episodes airing from Week 10 onwards weeks should continue to begin on Monday and end with the Sunday following it, as now the weeks are beginning to seem more weird with much wider gaps between them. The change in air dates will probably mix up the format of future weeks anyways. Happily888 (talk) 07:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

@Happily888: Each sequence still ends with the elimination on Sunday after the build-up in the earlier programs. So the sequence is still Monday - Tuesday - Sunday. The fact that there is a long gap before the elimination is a programming decision of Network 10. There is no way we could "start" a week with an elimination, without immediate history of how the contestants came to be there. (PS, it's great that the IPs have been blocked from direct editing.
