Master Chef Professionals. Part II.We all live for Thursdays. A main of Marcus with a side of Jay.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

And not a Gregg's sausage roll to be seen.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Anyone watching tonight?

[Jaffakake]

I am. It's doing my head in though - I'm convinced I've seen that Luciana on TV somewhere before. Is it just me?

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Last weeks MC?
Where is everyone?

[Igneococcus]

Like Catherine's pudding

[Igneococcus]

My Azorian friend used to cook baccalau for me. I love it.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Good bunch tonight. Brain bleach for thought of Greggs in shorts.

[MsJupiter]

I'm sure Greg has said before that he doesn't like goats cheese. Seems a bit unfair to judge someone badly because of your personal taste.

[macnab]

jaffakake she looks ridiculously like the bird that Colin Firth fancied in Love Actually, maybe thats why you think you've seen her on telly before?

I was looking forward to reading all the witty banter from tonight's cook-off...where is everyone?!

[CalamitouslyWrong]

I would have watched, but I had to finish something I need for work tomorrow (at 9am). Glad I missed greg's legs though.

[Jaffakake]

Mac nab, that's it! Thank you!

[AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves]

We didn't actually see Gregg's legs, Calam, but as shorts were mentioned a hideous mental image was unavoidable.

I'm sorry about Katherine but I agree with her that she might have reached her peak. I had thought Ben might win, so am now revising that opinion! I had thought all the way that Ollie was lucky to have got this far and I still think he will probably not make it to the final three. Yes, Luciana really does look like that Love Actually woman! Must be a Portuguese thing (via Brazil for L, obviously).

So pleased that both the Scots are through, but sorry to see that Jamie and Richard are head to head tonight as I want them both to proceed. Hmm.

[macnab]

I wonder how they pair them up at this stage, is it really random? I often get the feeling that its been done strategically and if the pairings were different then people might have a far better chance of getting through.

Don't think I've seen the 2* Chef who's restaurant is on tonight, a french lady by the sounds of it. Remember when they used to go Marcus' restaurant! DH & I would be feeling so sorry for whoever got to go there because Marcus seemed like such a grumpy fecker. He's a totally different character now that he's in the driving seat!

[mazylou]

Rather a spectacular cook. I was sorry to see Katherine go, I think she'd peaked, though.

[macnab]

Wow. Thanks for the link mazylou a meal there is definitely now on my bucket list when I win the lotto

Looking forward to tonight's show now

[GrouchyKiwi]

I love when they basically ignore Gregg.

[mazylou]

Mine too, macnab, mine too. Better start doing the lotto, hadn't we?

I agree about Gregg, he just isn't in the same league as M&M. They don't want to please Gregg so much as Marcus or Monica.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Evening all. I'm watching cute tigers in preparation for masterchef.

[growinggoldwithcustard]

Evening. Sorry to have missed last night's events.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Oh hello. Was getting paranoid that there was somewhere else for MC fans. Yeah I reckon I could force some of her food down.
Oh it's the Iceman.

[growinggoldwithcustard]

Hughmungus scallop there!

[CalamitouslyWrong]

That is a big scallop.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Oh good tip about the paper in the pan so spices don't burn.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

It looks delicious. I agree about the good tip.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Duck fat. The south of France way.

Strawberries and beetroot is a very red combo.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Dhsaid it's not a big scallop, she has tiny umpaloompa hands.
The pigeon dish is much more complex.
