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

the naked panic in John's eyes

I just guffawed at this and woke the newborn baby sleeping on my lap.

I whole heartedly agree. I LOATHE the man. Why he feels there is a need to fake laugh and guffaw at everything like a baboon is beyond me

The only other person on TV who irritates me more is Tess Daly!!

Whitecurrants · 12/04/2018 16:57

He doesn't bother me but I might watch more often if they got rid of the grumpy supercilious Aussie twat.

You know, while watching theluckiest's funny link upthread i realised that M Roux junior was a bit pants at being a judge!

I much prefer Marcus W. the fab Monica.

Grin BRILL!

Good for you - he's a twat!

Hoppinggreen · 12/04/2018 17:36

He was being a complete twat
He was quite nasty and I think I was just supposed to suck it up because he’s a “sleb”

How did I not know that Jay Rayner was the son of Claire Rayner? Shock
He is lovely. So was she. Like mother, like son.

billysboy · 12/04/2018 17:47

Get rid of Gregg and have Monica instead with maybe Giles Coren
I have watched their series about hotels and they seem to have a connection there
Or Dick Strawbridge !

Oh and rather than finals week lets just have a final !

DanceDisaster · 12/04/2018 17:57

@billy

That hotel program is one of my favourites! I love it so much. I’ve actually stayed at one of the hotels .

Dance disaster

Lucky thing !

Panda81 · 12/04/2018 18:21

Where can I watch AUS and US versions of masterchef?! Shock

Deploycharitygoats · 12/04/2018 18:24

Ever since I told DH about the rumour that JT and GW can’t stand each other, he’s got it into his head that they film their scenes separately to be edited together in post-production. Found him last night chuckling away at the choppy editing, saying “you can’t unsee it!” Grin

GrandTheftWalrus · 12/04/2018 19:33

@Panda have a nosey about YouTube but you might find some episodes on W channel.

DanceDisaster · 12/04/2018 19:43

@billy

I was about 10 at the time, so barely remember it and definitely didn’t appreciate it!

glitterbiscuits · 12/04/2018 19:46

Oh no! He’s good fun.

However Jay Rayner is on my ‘special list’ so Id be happy to have him along too.

MorningsEleven · 12/04/2018 19:59

However Jay Rayner is on my ‘special list’

I hurt my chin when my jaw dropped to the floor. That's pretty unique 😁

Joinourclub · 12/04/2018 20:03

Giles Corenbilly?! Bluegh, he is unbearably smug!

Lottapianos · 12/04/2018 20:04

Not unique at all. Jay butters many ladies' parsnips as it were. Not mine I have to say, although he is lovely and very funny

glitterbiscuits · 12/04/2018 20:09

Morningseleven - don’t you have a ‘special list’?

chandlersfraud · 12/04/2018 20:33

I actually prefer him to John the Toad

Glitterspy · 12/04/2018 20:34

Ooh Jay Rayner grrr yes

MorningsEleven · 12/04/2018 20:35

glitterbiscuits

Of course! But I'm revealing nothing of my seriously dodgy crushes Boris Yeltsin

Lottapianos · 12/04/2018 20:38

Boris Yeltsin??? Grin Explain yourself, young lady! We definitely need more information

Jellykat · 12/04/2018 20:39

Oh no, leave Greg alone, i prefer him to John..
However can't stand Jay Rayner, he's so patronising!
