TV RELOAD Benjamin Norris

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Khristian. The fourth eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Thursday nights at 7:30.


Khristian, 26 currently works in insurance services but he’s had a passion for food ever since he was 10 years old and helped his single-mum out by stepping up and learning to cook.

My guest today got a lot of attention during the promotion of this season and I think that has to do with his real passion for joining this season. He loves food and is a big softy... who I was really enjoying on this season. 

The guy would get excited about a spoon and didn’t crumble when he forgot half the recipe. He was a joy to watch and a joy to chat with today. So I hope you enjoy our chat.



Khristian will discuss his upbringing and what his mates thought of him going on the show. 
We also discuss who inspired him to sign up and which previous Masterchef Australia alumni is one of his good mates.
After chatting with Khristian for like two minutes, I realised that he would be great to go into schools and talk about his Masterchef experience with young people. 
I will find out how bad that sugar glass cut was, which judge was his favourite and who he connected to the most.
There is an opportunity to find out how the production company sends you off and what actually happens when you have been eliminated. 

There is so much to unpack with Khristian. So sit back and relax as we unpack his time in the Masterchef Australia.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Jonathan the third eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Thursday nights at 7:30.


MasterChef Australia’s Jonathan is a carpenter by trade, but his passion has always been cooking. Ever since he was 10 years old, he’s been making himself dinners and meals with very early experience in understanding of flavours. Jonathan loves the joy cooking can bring and he enjoys curating menus and entertaining his mates.

On MasterChef Australia, Jonathan was hoping to get the experience he needs to move from being a carpenter to a chef. His source of inspiration is Andy Allen, a man who went from being a sparky to being one of MasterChef Australia’s current judges. 



Jono will reveal the emotional story behind his final dish and why at such a young age he was cooking for himself and living with his Nona. 
We will discuss how the order of when the judges try your food could affect the judges critics. 
I will get Jono’s insights into how the pressure of being filmed over long hours can make you feel self conscious and why that clock can send you made. 
There is an opportunity to highlight the magic of this show and how it has not only created a bond with his 2024 cast but now feels connected to an over Masterchef family.

There is so much to unpack with Jono. So sit back and relax as we unpack his time in the Masterchef Australia.
