MasterChef New Zealand
MasterChef New Zealand is a New Zealand competitive reality tv cooking series based on the original British variant of Masterchef. The very first installment aired on 3 February 2010. The series features Josh Emett judges Ray McVinnie and Simon Gault.
Whereby contestants compete in weekly elimination challenges, including team 21, the show is similar to MasterChef Australia's structure. The major difference could be the New Zealand show has one incident per week in comparison to Australia's five week.
The very first show was won by Brett McGregor, at the finale that was screened on 28 April 2010, over runner up Kelly Young. Nadia Lim won the next show. The next show was won by Chelsea Winter, who beat runner up Ana Schwarz in the finale.
