TV RELOAD Benjamin Norris

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Sumeet the 15th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


A love of food is in Sumeet blood, embedded deep in her Punjabi culture and engrained in her family upbringing.

Growing up in, India, Sumeet has fond memories of her parents throwing parties when she and brother would keenly watch the preparation and planning process. Her late mother was a warm and welcoming hostess, and Sumeet would always step up to help with the party food.

After studying hotel management, Sumeet forged a career in sales, but has always known deep down that food is where she belongs. The kitchen is a meditative space for Sumeet, a stressful day remedied by time spent cooking. 

I think Australian audiences have fallen in love with her and her sauce. I can imagine her brand being on my shopping list for a long time.



Sumeet will unpack everything from bacon and eggs, the pressure to cook within her cultural heritage and why she believes Jean Christopher is her favourite judge.
We will also unpack the Masterchef  kitchen in of the dynamics between the cast and if there were any jealousy overly competitive contestants this year?
I will ask about Sumeet about her journey to Masterchef and why she felt confident in any colour apron
We will also discuss why she bought fish to look after during the season and if she does actually love drinking scotch and whisky.

There is so much to unpack with Sumeet. So sit back and relax as we unpack her time in the Masterchef Australian kitchen.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Alex Crisp the 14th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia.

Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


Dubbed sunshine in human form, Alex shone her light in the MasterChef Australia kitchen for 2024. One of the fan favourites this year who sadly got the chop this week and I admit I am shook. 

Despite earning a double degree in Science (Human Biology) and Design (Fine Arts), it is food that’s become the founding stone of Alex’s career, working in fine food sales and specialising in gourmet products, cheeses and small-goods amongst other delicacies. 

Her daily exposure to the food scene has further fuelled the fire inside, and Alex knows that cooking is not just a hobby, it’s her true calling in life and I can not wait to see where she takes her Masterchef journey.

I loved catching up with Alex I haven’t laughed as hard as this in a while. I actually edited out most of my laughing as I sounded like fog horn leg horn!



Alex will unpack everything from cute chefs, green hands and why she believes when it is not your season it is not your season!
We will also unpack the Masterchef  kitchen in terms of telling judges to back off, quieting down the gantry and if swearing happens in real time?
I will ask about Sportsbet and if you can bet on yourself and Alex will reveal why she hated those betting odds!
We will also discuss if they needed a passport to get onto the show and what songs became their anthems during filming.

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

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Gillian the 13th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


For Gill, food is love. She has been influenced deeply by both her Mum and her beloved late Nonna, who gifted her the use of food as a love language; as well as by her late father who taught her about intuition in the kitchen, to trust her palette, and to balance flavours and textures when preparing food with care.

My guest today is a Wollongong local, a very talented artist who has run her own lettering art business for eight years, creating logos, painting wall murals, and sign writing, and we really felt her creative ambitions through he time in there Masterchef Kitchen

I loved catching up with Gill as much as I have loved reading her supportive feedback online… there is something quite raw and unfiltered about our chat and I hope you enjoy it.



Gill will unpack everything from losing her father, to hating coffee and why being creative is so important to her.
We will also unpack the Masterchef in terms of how much interaction with fans they are allowed during the season and what she has appreciated from reading your comments. 
I will ask about her Gill about the decision to use luck chance and circumstance games to decided on elimination challenges and what she would change about the competition. 
We will also discuss why Harry is her choice to win and what she thinks Poh has taught the 2024 alumni!

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

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Tom Cashman. Who is currently on Network Ten’s Taskmasters Australia! Which is on weekly… Thursday nights at 7:30. Which you can catch up on 10 play once the episodes drop!!


Sitting by Tom Gleeson's side is his trusty assistant, Tom Cashman, dutifully taking notes and reporting back on all the ups and downs of each task. For several weeks, the comedians face tasks that are then played in front of each other and to a live audience. Each comedian will get scored and the person with the most amount of points wins the season.

Based on the UK series, Taskmaster has become a worldwide phenomenon meaning that when the Aussie version launched in 2023 there was pressure to stand up to the success of other international spin-offs.

I have to say I loved catching up with Tom Cashman. He is a fantastic comedian and you will get to know him in a way that I don’t think we have really heard before.



I will talk about being cast alongside Tom Gleesen and what their relationship was like before shooting this series.
We will unpack the pressure of being a comedian and how it can affect your day to day life!
Tom will share some honest stories. From meeting his idols like Peter Hellier and why he ignored Anne Edmonds when he first met her! 
You will find out how the show is put together and why the skits are never shown in order of how they seen on the live shows. 

There is so much to unpack with Tom. So sit back and relax as we unpack the world of Taskmasters Australia!

Growing up in Queens, NYC, Josh Clarke cites both his Irish Mum Caroline and Jamaican Dad Jason as his foodie inspirations. When the kitchen bench was at chin height, Josh watched his mother work hard at an Irish pub in NYC, while his Dad expanded their rich culture at home by adding his Jamaican flair to every meal, making Caribbean cuisine a significant part of Josh’s cultural norm growing up.

Josh has a young family and is now based in Queensland - sadly he just missed out on the top ten but what an achievement to make it this far!

Most recently, Sue was Head of Customer Experience for a building company, but when its collapse left her unexpectedly unemployed, she was able to reassess her priorities. With the encouragement of all at home, sue took on the Masterchef kitchen and while we didn’t always see a lot of her - I think audiences did really connect with her story.
