Why is he still on master chef?

Have never watched any cookery or baking show, they bore me.

I like the Factory show Gregg does, when he shows how Baked beans are produced for example, but the noisy atmosphere just gives him perfect excuse to bellow.

I can't put my finger on why he's so annoying.

And why does he wear a hairnet? Sweaty scalp? 😂

i can tolerate gregg, but i LOATHE John Torode, wish he'd fuck off. Ruined his palate eating spicy food and does nothing but moan about sauce and spice not being enough.

Markus is a bit annoying, he seems so set in his unwillingness to try new things.. he's got better recently, think a few of the chefs have opened his eyes a bit over the last couple of years.

Love Monica, only thing that grates is how she pronounces butter, and i know its an accent thing, it just jars 'booter'.

LilacLilyBird · 21/11/2024 09:22

It's Marcus I can't stand

He makes my skin crawl

As for Gregg meh he doesn't bother me

Love Monica

Has anyone seen Horrible Histories? They do a sketch on MC and Greggg is spot on. Just shouts "FOOD! YUM!"....

patchworkbear · 21/11/2024 09:07

I must be the only one to find him to be annoying but good on the show. I find Marcus has a death stare that gives me the creeps and Monica flat in tone and feedback.

I've heard he's only interested if you're young, beautiful and blonde

Show quote history

He’s happily married and to a brunette, so doubt it.

I’ve never watched it but I’ve heard he’s one of the nicest people and really down to earth.

Slimey arrogant old lecher. Would never surprise me if a big scandal comes out in later years.

Losingthetimber · 21/11/2024 08:45

He’s the main show presenter, the other two are not. They are the judges/chefs. I quite like him and find him kind often. Most presenters are not experts in the program area. Think bake off. Alison and what’s his name aren’t bakers, the judges/bakers are pru and Paul.

yabbadabbadonot · 21/11/2024 08:41

Be kind!

CoffeeCantata · 21/11/2024 08:37

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.

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

That would have been absolutely hilarious if it wasn't so horrific.

Novaavon · 20/11/2024 22:39

I've met Gregg and he's actually really nice. But I find him annoying on the programme. And I can't stand Monica.

SocksAndTheCity · 20/11/2024 22:00

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

You should join our thread in telly addicts. We rip him constantly

That's why I DON'T join it. Page after page of 'FUCK OFFF GREGGGG' gets so tedious.

The regular posters do seem to find themselves very amusing, but if you a) don't hate the man or enjoy the relentless 'ripping' b) want some more interesting Masterchef talk, don't bother.

Oh God, THIS.

An insufferable man that ruins otherwise good programmes

Ah yes, the costermonger and his plates of food. Arse. Like you'd give a shit what Gregggggg thought about anything.

Don't forget that it's Gregg 🙄😂

Questionary · 20/11/2024 21:31

Oh who knows he’s truly awful.

But imho John Torrode is the WORST.
Hes so impressed with himself and arrogant and superior. Even on Lisa Faulkner’s insta account, on which she constantly talks about how wonderful he is and totally fawns over him he manages to come across as just so unappealing and snooty to her. I have zero idea what she sees in him.
