Me too, not vaguely interested with this season at all especially with returning contestants, already getting tired of watching the past 2-3 seasons.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gordon is on the first week, start the series with a bang, getting people to watch. Apart from season 10 (?) contestants, none would have met Gordon. The defunct 7Food basically survived on Gordon's shows, whenever they had Gordon's shows on the ratings improved, LOL.

I'm really excited but just because it's past contestants and I've loved a few of them very much.

Saw Lynton in Andy's cooking show, he has a full beard now, can't even recognise him at all, LOL.

Tessa (Derek, Simon) Khanh, Brendan (Reece) Sarah Tiong (Diana, Karlie) Harry (Matt) (Georgia, Billie, Jessie, Sara) Tracy (Laura, Emelia) (Lynton) Ben Milbourne Courtney (Poh)...
The ones outside brackets are what I'm somewhat confident about, the ones inside brackets are whom I'm not very sure about

Lynton and Laura are qualified chefs. Might as well get other chefs to compete. The MasterChef Professional didn't rate very well.
Before the viewers love to see how the contestants improve with the series. Now most of them are supposed to be accomplished cooks/chefs.
I think this series will be shorter.

I agree, I wonder how much they try to shorten the filming. Let's say they have 50 days of filming before the camping show on Feb 20 (as usual), they can probably film 25 episodes (one every other day). That could be 8 weeks of episodes if they only have 3 episodes per week or 6 weeks of episodes if they have 4 episodes per week. Seems plausible

According to an article Gordon has already filmed 4 episodes of masterchef... I'm pretty sure the ones in Melbourne currently... Harry Tessa Khanh Reece Sarah etc are contestants

Since December, MC on Facebook has been posting videos of highlights from old seasons, until now the following contestants--
Poh (s1) Callum (s2) Ben (s4) Amina (s4) Reynold (s7) Billie (s7) Harry (s8) Anastasia (s8) Hoda (s10) Brendan (s10) Khan (s10) Reece (s10) Tessa (s11)
I don't know where masterrules gets their list above but it matches up pretty well

Looking at the list if it is really the list of contestants, I'm wondering if there is a charity involved for each contestant to donate to if they won? People like Poh, Reynold, Khanh who already have success really need not involve themselves again in the competition unless there is an ulterior motive like a charity. Billie is the only one who won in their season and Julie is not in the list?

LOL, just thinking if Reynold is in, he might have difficulty as the new judges are not as sweet tooth as the old judges.

They only post one every few days, so the list above isn't necessarily complete yet
If filming is short, maybe 2-3 months (instead of 6), and contestants can stay on social media during that time, maybe it makes sense financially for those people, also remember Ch10 has heaps of money to burn on this season since they are probably saving millions with the new judges

I don't know, but I am still sceptical that they are being paid to return. Do the all-star Survivor competitors being paid to return also?
