And if not, do any of the rest of you agree that Jenny is getting more like Terry Wogan every day?

I love it. Some of those dishes and what they say about them are quite pretentious though!

Friday judging is the best.

Jennie Bond is an outrageous flirt!

I watched the one where they were cooking for the Queen but I can't watch Jennie Bond. I do love the pretentious food critics though - surely they're the best bit?

Love watching it and have already been to one of the suppliers featured!!
Jennie Bond adds nothing to it though. Can see why she did the first one, royal correspondant and all that but it needs someone who doesn't shamelessly flirt and simper all the time, it drives me nuts.

Hurrah, I knew you must be out there somewhere. Since the first series I have developed an unfortunate Peytonesque habit of leaning over any dish presented to me and inhaling deeply, which makes me looks like a freak in restaurants. I also accidentally said "I'm just plating up" to tell DP that dinner was ready.

PMSL @ you saying 'I'm just plating up.'
Think I will start saying that. And get some of those big metal domes to go over the food.

Seaweed pudding?
What's that all about then?
Who do you think should win this week then?

Jenny is dreadful, she is continually saying how much the chef's are in battle against each other. It is a cookery contest ffs woman!

Some of the food looks yummy, some I wouldn't feed my dog! And he eats his own poo on occassion.

Oh, I like Jennie, she's kind of entertaining. Friday's definitely best, much less repetitive than the rest of the week and I love the judges. I also love the way Jennie emphasises the word judges every time she says it.

I watch it despite myself - I HATE the script possibly even more than I hate Jennie Bond, and much preferred Masterchef. But it coincides with last bf before bed, and so, despite myself I am getting addicted. And I thought Jeremy Lee was great, he needs his own series!

Didn't someone serve stuffed pigs trotters the other day {{{{{puke}}}}}

Much prefer Masterchef and John clanking his fork on nhis teeth!

I only watch Friday's show as there's so much bl**dy waffling and repetition otherwise. Thoroughly enjoy it though

I actually like the repetition, it's kind of soothing. So happy that Atul is on it this week, him beating that awful Rhodes boy made the first series for me, I so hope he wins again. DP and I went to Benares to celebrate our anniversary last year, it was lovely. And his fish this time looks fab, I love mushy peas.
