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

Having forged a successful career in primary teaching, family man James is a father, to son Benji and daughter Goldie. Becoming a parent has changed his perspective and he told me his kids remind him everyday on how to always find the joy in life. 
James was determined to lead by example which in so many ways I feel he achieved and showing his own kids, along with those he teaches, that you can go against the grain and embrace a challenges with nothing to lose. While he was eliminated this week I think it is an amazing achievement to get onto the show and I look forward to unpacking his time on the show. 


James will reveal which of the judges-style he connected with the most and if he noticed a shift in making sure we as an audience hear some of the instructions being offered this season. With tips we can actually use at home.
We will discuss his early departure. From his calamari, to how the kitchens are allocated and what advantages he learnt while filming his five episodes
I will get his opinions on the way in which contestants can stand out and if having a bigger backstory helps you stay in the competition longer.   
There are some tips on how to be 'Masterchef-fit' and of course where he hopes his food dreams may still take him.

There is so much to unpack with James. So sit back and relax as we unpack his time on Masterchef Australia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
