MasterChef Brasil is easily the best. Watched other shows and they dont come close, overdramatic, repetitive, bad hosts... Even other Masterchefs are not as great - watched half a season of the Spanish, a bit from USA and Mexico.
The Mexican actually seemed like the most real one when it comes to "random people that cook well and want to be a chef". In Brazil now that we are in the 5th year of MC we only get a selection of rich people that are used to cook with ingredients 99% of the population never tasted, plus 1 black, 1 lgbt and one immigrant. The MC Professionas is great and usually brings much more diversity for some unknown reason.
Final Table blew my socks off. If not then Chopped or Iron Chef.
I liked Final Table, but there is a lot they could improve (and probably wont).
First episodes have too many participants so you end up not even supporting or getting to know any of them. The middle episodes get better because of better time distribution. Last ones were ok for me because the guys I liked were eliminated so I had to watch a final where I couldn't care less who would win...
It's a format made for Netflix, 1 hour episode is not enough to deliver a great cooking competition for me, specially in such a short season (comparing with Masterchef for example, have 16+ episodes that last 2+ hours in Brazil).
