Sizzling from the outset, the latest MasterChef fires up with a tough audition round as the hunt for the country's best amateur cook begins.

With tens of thousands of applicants this year, MasterChef judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace's immense task is to eat and judge a vast assortment of dishes, and then fill the 20 coveted places in this year's competition. Only the lucky ones who become contestants and win a MasterChef apron will have the right to cook in the state-of-the-art cathedral to culinary hopes and dreams: the brand-new MasterChef kitchen.

In this one-hour show, hopefuls plucked from their home kitchens arrive in London from across Britain for the auditions. One by one, they cook their hearts and souls out for the judges before they hear their fate. With only the most delicious morsels leading to a place, emotions are running high for the amateurs and their accompanying family and friends.

Only the best will win a place, taking their first step to winning MasterChef 2011

Oh, they have copied the Australian version of MasterChef with the new format. Good, it's a much better format. :)

[Kerry]

I'd do an omelette :laugh2:

[Kerry]

Oooh they can choose which type of egg. Duck eggs are nice

[Kerry]

That can't be fair. Why did she plate up after time?

[Kerry]

Bye Bye squid lady

[GypsyGoth]

I felt real sorry for the girl who dropped her food, I'm glad she made it.

[Kerry]

Mmmmm roast. I love making roasts

[GypsyGoth]

That guy who made the mistakes is definitely gone.

[Kerry]

Bugger wasn't watching. Was texting :blush:

[Kerry]

Ewww no, lamb fat has to be crispy. It has a gorgeous flavour but not when white yuk

[GypsyGoth]

Their new kitchen place is huge.

[GypsyGoth]

Sounds like my namesake might be in trouble :conf2:

[GypsyGoth]

And I think Alice is brilliant :love:

[Patrick]

rofl

I watched like 20 Minutes of it last night after Waterloo Road because I couldn't be bollocked moving.

It was hilarious when the girl that looked like Heather Trott was like 'stupid potatoes' when she got eliminated.

And when Jackie, the ******ing bitch that's up herself dropped her pan.
Bellend.

Hope she burns her face on the cooker, she's so desperate.

'YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT THIS, COOKING IS EVERYTHING TO ME! I SWEAR!'

It's like, Get a job love.

Guys which two got through last night out of the 5?

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh2:

Blond mumsy lady with the glasses, and I forget who else, maybe one of the guys, I was up for the asian girl and she got knocked out,

[Kerry]

Got it on now. I wonder if her chipped nail varnish was an added ingredient.....

[GypsyGoth]

Got it on now. I wonder if her chipped nail varnish was an added ingredient.....

:laugh:

Also I hate when they are sweating over their cooking, you just know some of it is dripping into the pots.

[Kerry]

:laugh:

Same without their hair back. Not in a kitchen cooking for many :yuk:

[Kerry]

I'm actually finding it a little patronising on the new contestants that they have to cook for past winners

[Kerry]

Tim and James in the final

[Kerry]

OMG How nasty was John to Alice?!?!? I'd have slapped him!

[Kerry]

Tonight. Comes around so quickly!

[Kerry]

Hmmmm a bit unfair to be in teams

[GypsyGoth]

Does someone leave tonight?

And ouch!! That looks sore.

[Kerry]

Does someone leave tonight?

And ouch!! That looks sore.

Yes, I think so. When I saw it advertised they said only nine places left

[Kerry]

What a strange starter. I wouldn't know wether to eat it or try and hear the sea through it

[GypsyGoth]

She always looks like she is going to burst into tears.

[Kerry]

That looks gross

[GypsyGoth]

I've never tried scotish food, but I did have a battered mars bar once.

[Kerry]

I've never tried scotish food, but I did have a battered mars bar once.

Really? Never tried those :D

[Kerry]

Ugh, no way could I eat that Grouse either. It didn't look cooked

[GypsyGoth]

Really? Never tried those :D

Yep they are kinda lovely but really filling, and they leave a sticky coating on your teeth.

[Kerry]

Yep they are kinda lovely but really filling, and they leave a sticky coating on your teeth.

I'd try a bit for sure. Doubt I could eat a whole one as I can never manage a normal one

[GypsyGoth]

Alice is my fave.

[Kerry]

I think they like her too

[Kerry]

Awww I thought they'd give Peter another chance. Guess he's had too many

[GypsyGoth]

The poor squirrels.

[Kerry]

Watching it now

[Kerry]

The poor squirrels.

I really can't imagine them tasting nice at all. Theres nothing to them

[April1988]

I preferred the old version of Masterchef not too keen on the changes they have made but still enjoy watching it!!

[Kerry]

I'll be watching it tonight instead of recording it. Jamie's Dream School that clashed with it is crap

[Kerry]

I've had a gut feeling about Alice, James and the American guy from day one.....

[GypsyGoth]

Do you like vegetarian food Kerry?

[Kerry]

Do you like vegetarian food Kerry?

Yes, I'll eat anything. Often don't bother with meat. Having said that I love gravy too much

[GypsyGoth]

I've had a gut feeling about Alice, James and the American guy from day one.....

Yea I think Alice could have her own cooking show, and they do seem to like the american guy a lot.

[GypsyGoth]

It's a bit late to cry about it, she could have thought more before she picked what to cook.

[Kerry]

LOL dopey mare

[Kerry]

Crikey they'll have purple pee

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh:

[Kerry]

See, that girls already turning purple

[Kerry]

Ewww, miserable cow, get her out

[GypsyGoth]

Tom will go.

[Kerry]

Tom will go.

Who else? Two go

[Kerry]

I think so anyway......

[Kerry]

Oh God yawn

Ring X Factor

[GypsyGoth]

That guy who left didn't seem to believe in himself.

[Kerry]

9PM tonight

[GypsyGoth]

They are really good cooks, and seem to know how to make loads of stuff.

[Kerry]

Merlin cast this week :love:

[Kerry]

Yep, cos everyone has liquid nitrogeon in their kitchens.....

[GypsyGoth]

He was pretty rude I thought.

[GypsyGoth]

I like the way they show the chefs chatting, I wish they would show more of it.

[Kerry]

John always looks half asleep

[Kerry]

Didn't think Alice would go

[GypsyGoth]

Neither did I :shocked:

I guess they were right to get rid of her though, she said she felt out of her dept.

[Kerry]

And she never stopped crying..

[GypsyGoth]

Some of them are very moany.

[Kerry]

Alice Taylor, the latest contestant to be eliminated from MasterChef, has claimed that she was "shocked" by John Torode and Gregg Wallace's verdict.

Taylor missed out on a spot in the Top 6 after failing to impress the judges in a fine dining challenge with celebrity caterer Bertie de Rougemont.

However, speaking to DS, Taylor said that she thought she had proved her value in the competition with her performances in earlier rounds.

"The previous week they had been very lenient with people going through with things like soups and fritters. I thought there was no screw-up with my dish, it was just not to their taste. To go home was a real 'wow' and I was really upset," she said. "I tried not to show it on the programme. I was gutted.

"Last week, I think I proved that I had plenty of skills and I thought that would bide me more time. That's why I was quite shocked to go because I had plenty more to show them."

The mother and model added: "I think they have their niches to fill in the competition. They want people from different backgrounds, and food backgrounds particularly. Tim does the wacky stuff, Tom is the offal king, James is bringing something completely different and I don't think I was really exciting enough."

After Taylor's elimination, the final six contestants were challenged to cook a meal for the entire cast and crew of BBC One drama Merlin.


Bitter?

[Jords]

Watched this last night, imo they focus well too much on appearance. Yeah it has to look good but everything they cooked did I thought, very picky picky.

The main thing food should do is taste good!
You wouldnt eat dog **** if it was presented all fancy nice....

[GypsyGoth]

His sushi stuff looked good.

[GypsyGoth]

The critics act soo snooty :D

[Kerry]

Gonna watch it later. Got it recording :D

[Kerry]

That food critic with the bob has a face like a slapped arse

[GypsyGoth]

That food critic with the bob has a face like a slapped arse

:laugh:

She does. I'd love to see a show where the critics have to cook and see how good they are.

[Kerry]

:laugh:

She does. I'd love to see a show where the critics have to cook and see how good they are.

Indeed!

[Benjamin]

I can't get into the UK one now after watching the Oz one. You should defo watch that one if you can find it online. :)

[Kerry]

I can't get into the UK one now after watching the Oz one. You should defo watch that one if you can find it online. :)

Was just about to say I've seen it, then realised I was thinking of the Oz Come Dine With Me :blush: :joker:

[Kerry]

B'ah, another one of my predictions gone :laugh2:

[Kerry]

Ugh, pastry. Fine if on savoury pies. Not sweet

[Kerry]

Mmmmm I'd try that though :laugh2:

[GypsyGoth]

Ugh, pastry. Fine if on savoury pies. Not sweet

I prefer the opposite.

I'd love to learn how to bake fruit pies.

[Kerry]

I prefer the opposite.

I'd love to learn how to bake fruit pies.

My Nan was always baking. I think I'm baked out :D

[Kerry]

Looks like the sorting hat from HP

[GypsyGoth]

My Nan was always baking. I think I'm baked out :D

My mom never bakes.


And he makes that look simple.

[Kerry]

My mom never bakes.


And he makes that look simple.

I love cooking but not struck on baking sweets. Now and again I do :)

[Kerry]

Actually, I do have some pastry. It's in the freezer called 'Just-roll' and is premade from the shop :joker:

[Kerry]

I'm clapping weight on just watching this......

[GypsyGoth]

It seems strange that someone invented afternoon tea.

[GypsyGoth]

He is a bit mad.

[GypsyGoth]

I'm pleased she did well.

[Kerry]

"I can't wait to try and do that" LOL Like she ever cooks herself :joker:

[Kerry]

Was just about to say theres way too much there!

[GypsyGoth]

"I can't wait to try and do that" LOL Like she ever cooks herself :joker:

:laugh: Yea her staff will be busy making new desserts.

[Kerry]

Look at them trying to remain 'posh' while drinking :joker:

[Kerry]

What makes me laugh is I bet 90% of the people on here just want to dive into egg and chips :D

[GypsyGoth]

I think Jackie is in danger of going, she needs a good round.

[GypsyGoth]

Let's hope they survive their cooking :laugh:

[Kerry]

Let's hope they survive their cooking :laugh:

:shocked: :joker:

[Kerry]

Tim seems a bit....... animated......

[GypsyGoth]

I think it's between Tom and Jackie to be the one who goes.

[GypsyGoth]

Those Woopie Pies look huge :D

[Kerry]

Wonder if they've cut the crusts off so their dentures don't fly out....

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

Her's sounds the nicest.

[Kerry]

Can't decide

[Kerry]

Oh flippin' get on with it

[GypsyGoth]

Oh, I was sure one was going to leave.

[Kerry]

Oh what a faff. I thought one was going! What a bloody waste of a show!

[Kerry]

Oh, I was sure one was going to leave.

And me lol

[GypsyGoth]

Oh what a faff. I thought one was going! What a bloody waste of a show!

No wonder they we happy and huggy at the end.

[Kerry]

No wonder they we happy and huggy at the end.

We've been duped :bawling:

[Kerry]

What a load of faff for a meal!

[GypsyGoth]

He cooks like Heston does, sort of.

[Kerry]

It's crazy. Just boil the flippin' egg :joker:

[Kerry]

Those eggs actually scare me. It looks like a giant eyeball

[GypsyGoth]

Pork cheeks sound gross.

[Kerry]

Tims going a bit Heston-like now too

[GypsyGoth]

Yea this type of cooking is a bit complicated.

[Kerry]

Those eggs look disgusting!

[Kerry]

Yea this type of cooking is a bit complicated.

Can you imagine trying to do it in your own kitchen for a dinner party? :joker:

[GypsyGoth]

Can you imagine trying to do it in your own kitchen for a dinner party? :joker:

:laugh:

[Kerry]

:laugh:

"Hold on a sec, just need to get the liquid nitrogeon......."

:joker:

[GypsyGoth]

"Hold on a sec, just need to get the liquid nitrogeon......."

:joker:

:laugh2:

I don't even think you can buy that.

[Kerry]

:laugh2:

I don't even think you can buy that.

I dunno. Maybe the corner shop has a bottle :joker:

[Kerry]

I'm not sure if I'd eat that or think I was supposed to take a photo of it.....

[GypsyGoth]

I'm not surprised they liked his.

[GypsyGoth]

Kerry do you prefer it this year or last? The way the competition was done I mean.

[Kerry]

Kerry do you prefer it this year or last? The way the competition was done I mean.

I think I prefer last years though this is growing on me. How about you?

[GypsyGoth]

I think I prefer last years though this is growing on me. How about you?

Yea I liked last year a lot the way there were loads of rounds. And some of the people would make awful stuff for them at the start :laugh:

This way seems like they got rid of all the rubbish cooks. But I do like they way I get to know the cooks a bit more. Also I like that it's once a week, but I think they could have another show.

[Benjamin]

This version is much better. I love this format.

Honestly you ladies should watch Masterchef Australia, it wipes the floor with the UK version. Plus Marion and Fiona are :love:.


http://loombo.com/sr/kxuei253aqou

[Kerry]

Yes, I loved the first rounds last year :D

[GypsyGoth]

I might give a season of it a go thanks turtle, I've never watch an australian reality tv show before.

[Kerry]

Looks like Tom's safe :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

Looks like Tom's safe :laugh:

He has surprised me the most.

[Kerry]

Gah they like Tim too. I wanted him to go

[Benjamin]

I might give a season of it a go thanks turtle, I've never watch an australian reality tv show before.

You should. The Uk one is good, but this actually amazed me and I'm looking forwrad to season 3 in May.

The difference with the Oz one is that you get to know the contestants really well and it was on 3 times a week; A group challenge, an elimination/cook off and an immunity show against a professional chef

[Kerry]

Oooops, major fail Tim

[Kerry]

Well, Australia today, New York tomorrow

[Iceman]

Well, Australia today, New York tomorrow

I want this lifestyle :laugh:

[Kerry]

I want this lifestyle :laugh:

Sounds good eh? :)

[GypsyGoth]

I watched bits of it while Glee was on break. Is it on again tomorrow at 9?

[Kerry]

I watched bits of it while Glee was on break. Is it on again tomorrow at 9?

Tomorrow yes. Not sure of the time

[Iceman]

Sounds good eh? :)

Yeah!

I missed bits of this, drunken kids threw a traffic cone at my back gate so I went out with a bucket of ice cold water and chucke it over haha! How did Sara do?

[Kerry]

Yeah!

I missed bits of this, drunken kids threw a traffic cone at my back gate so I went out with a bucket of ice cold water and chucke it over haha! How did Sara do?

Seemed to do well. Only really Tim that mucked up. All still there for tomorrow

[Iceman]

Seemed to do well. Only really Tim that mucked up. All still there for tomorrow

Ah good, it's on Wednesday too isn't it?

[Kerry]

Ah good, it's on Wednesday too isn't it?

I'm not sure. Probably as Wednesday was always the weekly slot

[Kerry]

Missed most of tonights


Final tomorrow at 9PM

[Kerry]

Knew he'd win :(

[GypsyGoth]

After I seen his meals I knew he'd win too. He didn't make any mistakes and it was like he cooked more stuff than the others.

I think if I could have one of them cook me a meal though, I'd pick Sara.

I don't feel that Tom ever had a chance of winning.

[joeysteele]

For his work effort this week and what he did,he deserved the win. How he did it all was amazing, a lot going on.

[Kerry]

Tim was too gimmicky for me. I like meals you could recreate. It's not like you could pop to the local Spar for some liquid nitrogeon. Too Heston-like. Fun, creative, yes. Practical and realistic, no. Infact hardly 'cooking' half the time. Not very Masterchef.
