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

Why does he have to shout all the time..

I like him. I particularly like the way he enthuses about a good dessert.

Nowt wrong with a greengrocer either. Snobs.

KurriKurri · 12/04/2018 13:41

He's a greedy gobshite with a spanking fetish. He makes my skin crawl.
Never seen anyone wield a spoon the way gregg does when he shovels puddings into his mouth - he's like a huge creepy 2 year old.

(I'm not too keen on John either - but at least he's a chef - although judging by his surprise and wonderment at the dishes he eats in other restaurants, not a very inventive one.)

I much prefer Greg to sneering Torode; why does Torode do that condescending slow blinking? It reminds me of a big fish, like the grouper at the London Aquarium.
Please, please don't have Jay Rayner, he always looks grubby and in need of a decent haircut.
Monica and Marcus would be great!

Like Phil Mitchell's stunt double.

LittleLionMansMummy · 12/04/2018 13:45

How do we know he's got a penchant for spanking and porn? Genuine question, as I haven't followed the judges that closely and have only recently got into Masterchef.

Joinourclub · 12/04/2018 13:50

I prefer Gregg to John.

Badwifey · 12/04/2018 13:54

Reading the comments on John I just googled him to check out his jowels. Anyway one thing led to another and I came across a pic of his ex wife.... hmmm Lisa is just basically a younger version of her.

ApplesinmyPocket · 12/04/2018 13:54

I like him on Masterchef, and find the silly jeering about him in the MN MC threads really unpleasant.

KurriKurri · 12/04/2018 13:55

LittleLionMan he admits to it in interviews.
I'm not offering evidence as I don't want to search 'Gregg Wallace spanking fetish' - I have enough shit come up as adverts on FB and MN already Grin

LittleLionMansMummy · 12/04/2018 13:58

Oh no, Kurri. That's one particular image I don't need in my life.

OldHag1 · 12/04/2018 14:09

This is the only master chef you should watch lol

I much prefer Masterchef usa and Australia. Better judges and better tasks.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 12/04/2018 14:10

I have a real thing about JT. There's something very attractive about him.

llangennith · 12/04/2018 14:12

I really can’t watch the U.K. version. the whole production is so amateurish. I love the Australian and USA versions.

Liaoyang · 12/04/2018 14:13

I’m so gullible because DH had me believe that Gregg that was famous for starting Gregg’s

sundowners · 12/04/2018 14:16

No he is just annoying.
Thing is if he is there as the normal, non-poncy guy who's not a chef and no skill but has passion= fine. But he's clearly got above his station i.e. last night, with some extremely rare, delicate ingredients in Peru "EVEN I haven't seen some of these ingredients before" ...like wow mate .
Its also totally clear John cant stand him. Dynamic has gone.

I still love the show though, I love any series featuring bog standard people off the street and watching them develop. However it needs updating, especially with near every meal being meat/2 veg even in fancy form. They've never had a veggie contestant cooking only vegetarian food on there for eg. With a massive swing/trend towards vegetarianism and veganism the show should be more diverse.

TroysMammy · 12/04/2018 14:16

Hate it when they say "I like it a lot" exactly like Jim Carey's character Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber.

When JT said yo gert the other day my DP and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows and borh mouthed "yo gert?????"

sundowners · 12/04/2018 14:17

& BTW if you want the best cooking show- watch the next Aussie season of My Kitchen Rules on Sky- its heads and shoulders above any cooking show on here.

GallicosCats · 12/04/2018 14:23

Someone should have tweeted him back, 'OK, so that's Gregg as in the pie shop?'

Laiste · 12/04/2018 14:31

I like John. I imagine he’d be a nice friend in real life. Didn’t he organise one of greg’s Weddings?

I agree about the spice/curry thing though. As long as it blows your head off it’s received well.

Love Nawamin !! I want him to do well because I want to see him back on again judging xx

Tanith · 12/04/2018 16:01

Gregg is the Murray Walker of the Foodie sector Smile

theluckiest · 12/04/2018 16:08

Ok, so this is the perfect opportunity to share this.

I cry watching this every time.

Enjoy!! Grin

Hoppinggreen · 12/04/2018 16:11

I’ve met him, he shouted at me. I shouted back and dd was mortified

GrandTheftWalrus · 12/04/2018 16:11

Haha! I liked that.

WhiteCaribou · 12/04/2018 16:22

Can't bear Gregg, the way he sounds like he's almost having an orgasm every time he tastes something he likes - makes my skin crawl. And last night in Peru when he said something was an aphrodisiac and then looked at John and said "and there's only you and I here" - the naked panic in John's eyes! Shock
