[Updated] Crime does pay: "There can be only one winner"

it does little to encourage ordinary people at home to cook

One winner? It is neither of the two in tonight's final. But the message loud and clear to New Zealanders from Masterchef is that cheating is OK.

IMHO, the winner of Masterchef 2012 is Tony who was principled enough to nark on the two cheats, both of whom should have been sent home from Singapore.

[Update]
As long expected, the bottle blonde won. If you could call it that.

ps Amazing to think the show was filmed last October (last time Rick Stein in NZ) and they've been sitting on the result since.
