Why does he have to shout all the time..

He's just so awful. I think this is universally agreed. MasterChef would be so much more enjoyable without him

HolyMountain · 11/04/2018 20:17

I’d love Jay Rayner to do the job.

Lottapianos · 11/04/2018 20:19

Excellent idea Holy. He's lovely, and funny,and quietly spoken and knows his shizz

Singlebutmarried · 11/04/2018 20:19

YES as in it would be so much better.

And is it really necessary to open your mouth that wide?

fufulina · 11/04/2018 20:21

He’s a fruit and veg man. FFS. Totally agree.

Duckies · 11/04/2018 20:21

He's the best bit. It already takes itself way too seriously, with a second real chef/judge it would be unbearable

MrsJayy · 11/04/2018 20:22

I imagine he is cheap so they keep him cos they blow the budget on PERU !

BuntyII · 11/04/2018 20:23

YABU. You need both Toady and Shrek to make it work.

MrsJayy · 11/04/2018 20:24

I reckon John is desperate for his partner Lisa to get on and he secretly hates Gregg

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 11/04/2018 20:25

Wouldn't be the same without our Gregglez!

Skiiltan · 11/04/2018 20:26

It would be better still without the TV cameras.

fufulina · 11/04/2018 20:28

John hates Greg.

But the worst thing tonight is a bowl of fecking piranha heads. Rank.

Spartacunt · 11/04/2018 20:28

You can't separate Cillit and Bang.

I remember this version and by god Greg is a breath of fresh air compared to Lloyd.

Another vote for Jay Rayner. He is very knowledgeable and also very very sexy!!

Catspaws · 11/04/2018 20:32

YABU. He's funny and provides an 'non-cheffy' viewpoint and he's nice to the contestants. I prefer him to JT.

Bluelady · 11/04/2018 20:33

I hate his bloody shouting. Get shot.

FrancisUnderwood · 11/04/2018 20:34

I actually dislike John Torode more. He has a jowelly, flappy mouth like a fish.

Rawhh · 11/04/2018 20:36

Oh God, I couldn't agree more. The man knows sweet fuck all about the food that is put in front of him. On the professionals he always contradicts Marcus and Monica.

And his voice .....Jesus his voice ....so annoying.

and breathe

Imagine being Lisa Faulkener and having him slobber all over you. Oh the trauma!

AdaColeman · 11/04/2018 20:40

Hear! Hear! OP, well said. I'm not keen on JT either.

Shizzlestix · 11/04/2018 20:40

How did a greengrocer get the job? Can’t bear him.

calzone · 11/04/2018 20:44

I remember being shocked that Jay Rayner is the son of agony aunt Claire Rayner.......

MrsJayy · 11/04/2018 20:54

Me too @calzone It was recently I read his mum was Claire and of course when you know it is obvious Jay is her spit, I loved Claire Rayner she was very soothing and looked like she would clutch you to her bosom if you needed a good cry Grin

Mumofkids · 11/04/2018 21:10

I like JT! Can't bare GW!
