[Hiphopopotamus]

Been a lurker the whole way through but joining the thread now if you'll all accept such a latecomer...

Lorna to win for me

[GrouchyKiwi]

I want to make friends with Giovanna.

Thanks for the new thread!

[GrouchyKiwi]

Only if your lyrics are bottomless, Hiphop.

[foxessocks]

Marking place! Welcome hipho

Wish I had a snack after watching that!

[foxessocks]

Giovanna is very sweet

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

I'm in-see you Monday!

[Halsall]

You're warmly welcomed hiphop, jump in! We'll be poised on Monday to shout at Greggg a bit more

[ellenanora5]

Cheers Halsall

Welcome hiphopopotamus

South Africa should be fun, see you all there

[squoosh]

I think I'm going to get behind Giovanna.

[Cagliostro]

Hi all! Thanks for the new thread.

I want Giovanna or Lorna to win. L because I think she's bloody amazing to be doing this at 22, she's so young (and it makes me feel so old to say that... I'm 30 :o). G because she was the first person in the heats when I thought yes I like her. So I've always been rooting for her.

Quite like Steve but I find Alison and Saliha a bit arrogant TBH, that might just be me but I can't warm to them at all however good their food looks.

[Cagliostro]

Today 20:41 squoosh (from previous thread)

Brodie reminds me of Gussie Finknottle from the Fry and Laurie Jeeves series.

I just read that out to DH and he leapt from his chair exclaiming "YES!!! Thank you, I've been going crazy trying to think who he reminded me of!" So thanks :o

[Hiphopopotamus]

Yay! If I get a flight of the conchords reference so soon I know I'm on the right thread! Thanks guys. You'll be glad to know I can't stand Greg, but have a massive crush on Jay Rayner...

[BestIsWest]

Yes, I lie Lorna and Giovanni too. Lorna's scaredycat nervousness makes me want to give her a motherly hug.

[Elendon]

Hope you don't mind me joining in as well. Have been lurking on the other thread and enjoying it.

I too like Giovanna and Lorna. Not sure about Steve as I think he's the arrogant one. I like Alison and her inventiveness but she is skirting close to the edge, I thought she was on her way last night. Saliha's recipes are good too, but I do wish she would try some fusion food and more desserts/puddings.

You, and he, are very welcome 😅


It was the combination of the poshness, the specs, and the 'oh crumbs' facial expressions that finally clicked it for me!

[Cagliostro]

:o if it weren't for your post he probably would've sat up in bed at 3am in a couple of weeks shouting FINKNOTTLE!!! That's it! So I'm quite grateful myself for that :o

[squoosh]

I'm glad to have kept Gussie Finknottle from your marital bed!

[KentMum2008]

New to this thread, but I'll put it out there now...can't stand Alison and Saliha. They're just arrogant. When Alison and Lorna were 'safe' that time and she kept giving Lorna the side eye....I wanted to punch her. Lorna melts my heart and Giovanna is just so lovely.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Giovanna to win!

They're all on Twitter, by the way.

Brodie's account says he's a private cook now. I don't think they can be in the amateur version if they work as a cook, so that must be on the back of the competition. Good on him, I liked him. He comes from Fife and went to Glasgow School of Art.

[fourquenelles]

I have a huge mum crush on Jermaine Hiphop. I have very rude dreams about him
Still not sure who to back. Steve or Giovanna. Hmmmmm.

[MrsPeelyWaly]

Kate Spicer is horrible and the absolutely the last person who should be a food critic given she is probably a borderline anorexic and a while back had to be stopped from talking part in tv series when the psychologists on the show realised she was enjoying the experiment too much.

She does not have a healthy relationship with food.

[MrsPeelyWaly]

I think Saliha is an iceberg and when she was referring recently to the blokes as mate when cooking for the casualty cast it was as genuine as when she was referring to being 'on it like a bonnet' the other day.

It was almost as if someone said say these things and you'll come across as a little bit warmer than iceberg.
