[GiRTh]

Anyone watching? The pros is the only one I watch each year. Not too keen on the amateurs and can only watch the celebs if I like them so tuned out after Jenny was eliminated

Its unfair when they split the skiils test. They should have them all do the same one.

[LaLaLand]

Omg had no idea!

Will watch it in a bit on catch up!

[Mystic Mock]

It's my favorite version of Masterchef.

I could never eat Pigeon though.:laugh:

[LaLaLand]

Watching now - wow none of them are shining in the initial tasks set by Monica and Marcus are they!

[GiRTh]

Theres always one who bigs themselves up but has no idea. :laugh: The guy with the poached fish and plantain cracked me up.

[Twosugars]

Tbh I liked his idea of having salmon roe with passion fruit but it didnt belong on that plate.

[GiRTh]

On now.

That was a hard test. I've never heard of that dish

[Vanessa]

The skill test always goes wrong :joker:

[GiRTh]

You always get one absolutely clueless cook. Feel a bit sorry for that guy, he looked like he was close to tears. I wonder, if they've never made the dish before why dont they ask the judges for a few clues.

[GiRTh]

The skill test always goes wrong :joker:Always. The first guy was good though. These last two have been hopeless. :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Most of the time it's just nerves.

[GiRTh]

Two skills test. They should stick to just one for everyone

[GiRTh]

Monica test is easier.

[GiRTh]

This guys got the right idea. Ask the judges if they dont know.

[GiRTh]

On now.

Started with a profession chef who doesnt know what spatchcock means. :facepalm:

[GiRTh]

They've all been useless so far.

[Twosugars]

On now.

Started with a profession chef who doesnt know what spatchcock means. :facepalm:

Ridiculous

How they select them?

[GiRTh]

All three didnt cook the quail and two didnt know what what spatchcock means. :facepalm:

[Twosugars]

Wouldn't you make sure you know the basics and not go on tv and make yourself look a complete tit?

[GiRTh]

Did you watch it last week? They had the obligatory chef who was going to elevate his home countries cuisine to the level of fine dining, They have one each year and each year I roll my eyes as they get fumble thru the skills test. I doubt some of these chefs even work in restaurants. :laugh:

[Twosugars]

Yeah i did watch it. :laugh:

[GiRTh]

Yeah i did watch it. :laugh:He was hopeless wasnt he? Kept apologizing when he screwed up.

[GiRTh]

Just realised one of the judges is Tracey MCleod. Famous for this live TV classic

'Amma-Chers, Amma-chers' :laugh2:

[GiRTh]

How the hell she now a food critic? :conf:

[Vanessa]

I need to catch up on this, when I have time.

[Mystic Mock]

Was it just me who thought that Marcus's comment towards Tom's food was uncomfortable tonight?

I get not liking the food, and if he is the weakest cook (or one of the weakest cooks) left in the competition then fair enough, but I don't like overly negative comments like "it looks like a Dog's dinner" some people may think I'm being a Snowflake or whatever, but I felt that was uncalled for.

[Mystic Mock]

It's a strong final 3 imo.

I think that I like Exose the most, followed by Stu, but they're all good cooks by the looks of it imo.
