Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Mimi one of the eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia for 2024. I had a technical difficultly on Monday and while we could have just left this chat and sent it to the gods… so many people demanded I circle back and that I think has lot to do with Mimi’s popularity.

Born in Hong Kong, Mimi moved to Sydney aged one, but returned to Hong Kong to live at age 11 for seven years with her beloved grandma - following her parents’ divorce. She and brother were raised in humble Hong Kong public housing, her grandma instilling in them the philosophies of being a nurturer, cook and caretaker.

Mimi is highly curious cook as an adult and audiences really connected to Mimi’s honesty and integrity this season. Her background in teaching is proof that she is woman who enjoys learning and pushing herself.  

There has been something quite beautiful in what she brought to the Masterchef kitchen.

• We will unpack the inner monologue that occurs when filming reality TV and what the week has been like since exiting the competition.  
• This is a great opportunity to talk about who Mimi would like to see win the show and I will flip the question in a way on who the favourite judge has been this season
• We will talk about her student and what the feedback has been like this week. 
• We will dive deep into the thought you can control your edit and I think people will enjoy Mimi’s behind the scenes secret that involves some of the pranking that happened this season.  

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