Watching 'MasterChef' now. I have a thing for beards and anyone men who can cook so he's ticking my box so to speak. He went through a stage of looking alarmingly pale and ill but looks healthier now, may have been on the sunbeds Hmm

Anyone else?

I would.
However I'd go gay for Monica - first girl crush in years!! She's the bomb.

lottiegb · 23/11/2011 14:26

We like Monica the best too, she makes 'professional MC' the best of the MC competitions. DP is slightly enthralled and probably a bit scared.

ouryve · 23/11/2011 14:29

Oohhhhh yessssss :D

I don't even particularly go for facial hair, but he's pretty bloody tasty.

JinxAndFluff · 23/11/2011 14:41

Isn't Michel a pretty extreme marathon runner (or am I getting my Chefs mixed up...) so he might look a bit wirey, but he's definitely FIT with STAMINA.... I tend to rate my chefs on how badly they perform on Saturday Kitchen's omlette challenge. The longer and more sensual they are in the omlette making department, the more I fancy them for the morning after feast. This is not a failsafe test. Can't recall where Michel has been placed in that.....

JosieRosie · 23/11/2011 14:45

Yes Jinx, he's a marathon man and said he's addicted to running. I remember him being a guest on a Derren Brown show about 6-7 years ago - he seemed really lovely. Derren Brown is one of my pin-ups too so that was a particularly thrilling watch

Mmmmm stamina...

EmmaBemma · 23/11/2011 14:59

No way, he looks proper ill. I'd be worried I'd break him.

EmmaBemma · 23/11/2011 15:00

And Monica's exaggerated mugging gives me the pip. Also, speaking as a woman with similarly cropped barnet, she has no idea how to style hers. It looks like she uses goose fat for hair wax.

lottiegb · 23/11/2011 15:15

I don't care about Monica's hair or bad acting (and she's only copying Greg), as she's a chef not a performer. I like that she is utterly competent and acts with complete authority, while being fair, calm and not feeling the need to exaggerate (apart from the facial expressions, true) or ingratiate herself with anyone.

DeliaSucksStuffingBalls · 23/11/2011 15:27

Josie I was only teasing about the word 'tasty'. But Derren Brown? Isn't he in the same category as Cliff Richard in the realms of creepiness?

JosieRosie · 23/11/2011 15:28

Absolutely love Monica - she's extremely brilliant and I love how she acts with complete authority, no simpering or eyelash-fluttering for her. She's very fair and never totally trashes anyone's cooking, even when it's awful. And she's not slow to praise when she feels it's deserved. And yes she is very pretty, beautiful skin Smile

Delia - Derren is NOT creepy. He's well dishy mate Wink And how very dare you compare him to Cliff Richard!

OP posts:
DeliaSucksStuffingBalls · 23/11/2011 15:34

I bet he's actually called Darren but thinks Derren sounds posher.

JosieRosie · 23/11/2011 16:01

He's right too Wink

Soozey1 · 23/11/2011 16:32

Not particularly into Michel but do rather like Gordon Ramsay. Rude, arrogant f*er but looks like he knows what to do in bed..

Derren Brown v nice too, but isn't he gay?

JosieRosie · 23/11/2011 16:34

Soozey1, I get the GR = hunky thing but he's just too rude and arrogant for me.

Yes Derren is gay - what of it? Smile

OP posts:
Soozey1 · 23/11/2011 16:41

JosieRosie - for one night only I can look past the rude and arrogant and just go for the bloody good shag :-)

DB - absolutely nothing - I'm sure we can turn him!!

JosieRosie · 23/11/2011 16:48

A little bird (my DP) told me that GR and DB may be members of the same club. Sorry to disappoint you Wink

OP posts:
Soozey1 · 23/11/2011 16:52

No! Tell me it ain't so?! Shock

JosieRosie · 23/11/2011 16:55

He's not particularly in the know or anything, just a right old gossip and loves his showbiz-shit-stirring websites. Yeah, apparently GR was caught in a compromising position after hours at work a few years ago. I didn't believe it when he told me, but actually, there may be something to it..... All sorts of strange things going on with his wife and her family etc etc, something doesn't add up. And I find all the 'come on big boy' schtick a bit of macho overkill Hmm

OP posts:
Soozey1 · 23/11/2011 16:57

Ah I don't care....I'll shag either one of 'em :o

cambridgeferret · 23/11/2011 20:17

Wasn't Greg allegedly fairly "sexually imaginitive?"

Imagining him now on Masterchef with suit on from counter level up.... probably has thigh high boots on behind the counter.
He'd probably pull the same faces during sex as he did when eating little Claire's bitter chocolate sorbet last week...

valiumredhead · 23/11/2011 21:46

Was he? Do tell cambridge!!!!!

SardineQueen · 24/11/2011 08:36

soozey bleurgh don't you remember those pictures of GR going to rendevous with a woman at a posh hotel and she brought a bottle of poppers and some pringles. Please don't tell me that is appealing.

And cambridge I just nearly threw up at the combinations of Greg and "sexually imaginative" in the same sentance

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 08:49

Ooooooo must watch Master Chef tonight and perve over Greg some more
