Why is he still on master chef?

Just wow. Is there an equivalent woman on TV that gets such hate on here, vitriol and personal comments about their appearance?!

You should hear what he says to and about the women he works alongside!

Calliopespa · 28/11/2024 12:59

Well none of that’s actually funny either. It’s sad.

Stepping away now as I’m clearly not cut out for finding such fun in vitriol and unfortunate issues.

Show quote history

No, it's pretty disgusting, but the fact he allowed it to be published thinking it would be in any way good for his image, is pretty funny!

@Calliopespa it comes from his Alan partridgesque description of his Saturday in the telegraph which describes how he fucks off to the gym and for breakfast all morning leaving his son's care to his wife. He tolerates him for 90 minutes then retreats to video game and retires early to bed, doing the minimum he can get away with.

Horrible man. I'm still getting over his 'typical Saturday'

That was the pinnacle of awfulness

@Eraserbread that is absolutely hilarious! Do you think mallet actually wrote that? Surely it must be some witty journalist?
A guy I know in the industry claims he knows for a fact the Wallace one was made up. But surely then the great man himself would get up in arms and sue the paper? It's all funny as fuck either way. 🤣🤣🤣

I have no idea on either count, but I can totally see the Gregg Wallace one being 100 percent him! he's always come across as a total misogynist.

I stopped watching a long time ago, when John Torode was kind of a shit to his ex-wife.

Greg was always a twat though

Come on now give him his full title - it's Mastertwat remember

Ihopeyouhavent · 28/11/2024 12:57

Why wouldnt he be?

That’s a bit tasteless to bring his little boy into it. And his current wife seems to have hard times healthwise.

Its not wrong he’s being investigated if there’s a basis but surely people won’t find digs involving his little boy funny.

Show quote history

It's a dig at him, not his little boy. Did you see his interview where he basically admits to ignoring the boy and finding him a burden, although not in so many words? It was absolutely jaw-dropping how much he seems not to care about that kid.

I think Gregg is autistic and people often hate autistic people without knowing that's why.

Isn’t it is his son - who looks and sounds to be really sweet.

Calliopespa · 28/11/2024 12:48

Poggishairtufts · 28/11/2024 12:42

More time to spend with his autistic son now.

Can't stand the man

I used to love Masterchef when Lloyd Grossman was on it - when dinosaurs roamed the earth!

People mocked him (he had a very noticeable New England accent) but it was so much more civilised than with these 2 loud, loutish and irritating geezers.

Why do the BBC get it so wrong all the time? They find certain people and plaster them all over our screens, seemingly regardless of whether anyone actually likes them. I've come to the conclusion that BBC people live in a metropolitan media bubble and have limited contact with reality.

There are so many ubiquitous faces on the telly I'd like to pension off. They certainly put me off watching the shows they're on, whether I'm interested in the subject matter or not.

The people who run the Beeb think that some loud mouthed know nothing is just like the majority of their viewers, so we will all not feel daunted by the high intelligence and impeccable morality of all the other people on their channels.

@Eraserbread nooo?! I need to though. Link please? 🤣

I can't stand him. They used to film near my house and I saw him in the street once. He just looked sweaty and weird, grinning ear to ear at me?! I was like 'erm, hi?' he seems like such a sexist pig. That article about his daily Sunday regime was hilarious. 🤣

Did you see Timmy Mallet's Piss-take of it? Even funnier!

The looks of absolute contempt from the contestants when he comments on their food or kitchen skills

To be honest though, he’s often the one that says “ well I’d happily eat all of that” after the contestant has had a pasting from the others.

Eraserbread · 28/11/2024 12:34

Calliopespa · 28/11/2024 12:31

Yeah we cross posted. I’m just looking now …

Show quote history

I remember looking it up after my friend told me he was a wrong'un and there was a load of stuff on Tattle (I know, I know) about his sexual comments, so it's obviously been known for ages!

Calliopespa · 28/11/2024 12:31

Eraserbread · 28/11/2024 12:26

he's literally just been suspended due to historic allegations. I know someone who worked behind the scenes on one of his shows, and he was known to make very crude and disgusting remarks to people, make fun of appearances, etc.

It seems cruel.

I mean fine to not like him, but that level of vitriol seems childish unless he’s really done something vile I don’t know about.

What did John do to his ex wife? I’ve always quite liked him … but don’t like men who are awful to their wives.

But at least we can all agree, I think, that Monica is a total legend! She’s just the right side of lethally furious when someone does something daft. It’s just her whole demeanour: she’s awesome.

But that’s honestly so unkind. I mean really?

ETA just fojbv a Google now. Supposed to be working on something else…

But yes I’m seeing there is a bit of baggage.

For us he made it a family show (!) only because our Dc thought it was hilarious when he says “ I could eat ALL of that “ in a greedy voice or even just “that’s yummy!” I guess some audience members find the “you didn’t cook out flour long enough” type commentary less entertaining. He added the greedy pig element which isn’t wholly unsuitable on a cooking programme.

Mind you I reckon they could get a bit more out of Monica on that front! You can see she sometimes can’t peel her eyes away from a really good dish!
