To think that Masterchef would be better without the baldy gobby shouty greengrocer?

Sorry! Meant to post that on the Masterchef thread on Telly Addicts!!

Monke · 11/04/2018 21:14

I can’t stand the way he says “CHOCK-LIT!”

Sweetpea55 · 11/04/2018 21:15

What the fuff was all that with the piranha fish head's.
And chili in every damn thing. And baldy old gobby greengrocer shovelling it down like its going out of fashion.

I like Greg! I don't see shouting I see exuberance.
I don't understand why people have got it in for him because he's a greengrocer. It's nice to have someone taste and judge the food who is a non chef. He brings enthusiasm and has a great way of describing the food, he sounded quite poetical the other night!

But I won't say YABU, each to their own.

I think Gregg is hilarious! I love how enthusiastic he is. Makes the show much more lighthearted, it would be too serious otherwise.

On a side note, not sure what to have for tea tomorrow. I'm all out of piranha and dried alpaca hearts...

Yabu!!

Love Gregg and it wouldn't be the same with him and his buttery biscuit base

You are seriously in need of psychiatric help, you know that don't you?

There must be at least 23 types of potato in your veg drawer, though Panda. And do none of the kids on the street have a guinea pig? I know they didn't way any last night, but they're pretty much a diet staple in Peru.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/04/2018 09:06

*eat any, not way any

It's NOT because he's a greengrocer - it's because he's a twat.

When Greg the Greengrocer left his wife for a fan (!) his priority when moving out was his porn collection which took up the entire garage.

Have you seen the horrible histories sketches which are piss takes of master chef? Their take on him is hysterical

ApocalypseNowt · 12/04/2018 09:11

I can't remember where I saw it but I read something ages ago that said Jon looks like an alcoholic who has just had a bucket of water chucked over him and Greg looks like a ninja turtle. I can see nothing else now.

I caught a bit of Masterchef the other week when I was channel hopping. I couldn't take it seriously because I used to love Horrible Histories and the presenters reminded me of the presenters on Historical Masterchef (rather than the other way round).

There are clips on Youtube if anyone wants to compare the 2.

cariadlet · 12/04/2018 09:14

Too slow - crossposted with Sirzy.

80sMum · 12/04/2018 09:17

For me, by far and away the most irritating thing on Masterchef is that John persistently uses the phrase "Greg and I" when it should be "Greg and me", for example "now you're going to be cooking your signature dish for Greg and I", "... and then you'll be serving it to Greg and I" etc. No, no, no! It's ME, just say ME for once in your life, John!

It sets my teeth on edge every time he says it!

BamALamA · 12/04/2018 09:18

I quite like Gregg but I think new judges are needed. Cook anything with lots of spices and from the Far East and you have JT in your pocket straight away.

PaintedHorizons · 12/04/2018 09:19

I used to love Masterchef but I think it's had its day.

Too many contestants, too much talking, too many stupid tasks under silly time pressure so that there is "good tv" filming running about and dropping things. I don't like Gregg or John really - I like Marcus and Monica.

georgie262 · 12/04/2018 09:22

Can't stand him. Saw on twitter once that someone had asked him to retweet some charity... "hi Greg please could you..." and his only reply was "It's Gregg actually"

HugMeBringItIn · 12/04/2018 09:25

sirzy They are hilarious. The one when Greggggg says ‘I’ve got a sweet toof’ Grin

He is probably deaf !!!

They’re both awful. And the very unenthused sounding narrator. Bring back Lloyd I say!
