Just wondering if I could Masterchef as a related text for Discovery. Because there was SOOOO MUUUCHHH of the discovery rubric in in this year's masterchef, especially the finale.

Its un orthodox related text but it could potentially work.

I'd ask your english teacher as well though.

LOL

I would read it. At the very least, you'll score in originality :p Besides, we're in a postmodern age and such, challenge those hegemonic perceived notions of what you can and can't do for your related~

In all seriousness, like what Blitz said - check with your teacher first so they can assess whether the text is substantial enough.

Yeh I'll make sure to do that before deciding whether to choose it.

I highly recommend that you don't use Masterchef as a related text. Markers are looking for texts of literary value, whether that be a contemporary documentary or a classic novel. Reality shows, whilst invariably containing aspects of 'discovery' are not particularly in-depth and a few episodes would not compare with a more advanced text. You also need to consider that rating dictate the progression of the show, the 'development' of the characters/contestents, and what we are shown. I serious would advise against using it.
