Judges of Celebrity Masterchef

34 replies

GoatWoman · 28/08/2018 00:16

I decided to watch this on catch-up due to sleep issues. Also, when I was a student in London and working in a bar, I once served Carol Decker a Gin and Tonik and a dish of pistachios.

My god, who are these fat, buldgey-eyed judges whom seem to masticulate akin to my poor deceased horse!

And they chomp on the cutlery. The last time I watched this it was Jean Michele Roux (whatever) and that wonderful woman chef Monica Gelato (sp?)

AIBU to think who are these cutlery chomping idiots presenting what used to be a good program?

Celebrity master chef has always been judged by John Torode and Greg Wallace.
Master chef, the professionals was judged by Michel Roux and Monica Galetti but is now judged by Monica and Marcus Wearing.

If you don’t like it simply press a button and turn over............

Jean Michel and your one neve did Celeb MC or regular Mastechef, they did the professional version. These guys have been the judges/hosts for over 10 years Hmm

stillnotTheDoctor · 28/08/2018 00:23

John Torode (top chef) and Gregg Wallace (top...er...grocer) have been presenting masterchef for years! They're the original presenters.

I thought the other two just did the pro masterchef

TreaterAnita · 28/08/2018 00:24

I believe that Michel Roux and Monica Galetti host Masterchef Professionals (although it’s now Marcus Wareing because Michel couldn’t resist the lure of the potato money...) They don’t dirty their hands with the plebs or c’lebs.

Gosh, sorry with not being au fait with the career history of the entire Masterchef judging staff.

I was simply taken aback by these grinning chumps demanding 'plates of food' and acting like a pair of massive twats.

Yabu in wondering who the original presenters were. You obviously have no idea of the show or its history so abu to criticise.

Leave John and Gregg alone. We luffs them.

I was simply taken aback by these grinning chumps demanding 'plates of food' and acting like a pair of massive twats.

Not sure they are the chumps if you think there is something amiss about looking for plates of food to be made in a cooking competition (and you're confused as to which programme you are watching)

"You know something's gone wrong when you can offer your guests a slice of rice". T'was my TV highlight of last week.

MrsTommyBanks · 28/08/2018 00:40

YANBU in saying Monica and Marcus are by far superior judges.
YABU in not knowing your Masterchef nuances.

There is an Amazing Cleb Masterchef thread on MN Telly addicts where we can educate you.

Holy shit, apologies to the fan club!
I was just watching telly for the first time in ages! Why do they have to chomp on their cutlery and give these maniacal grins demanding 'make me happy' (vom).

It's all so unappetising.

Thanks Mrs Tommy! I shall join you as clearly the AIBU riff-raff are Masterchef experts extraordinaire!

Or married to one of the fat buldgey eyed judges!

I'll see you there Smile
It will be right up your street lol

Basta · 28/08/2018 00:54

Loving "masticulate"! Grin Was that intentional?

Basta · 28/08/2018 00:58

John Torode (top chef) and Gregg Wallace (top...er...grocer) have been presenting masterchef for years! They're the original presenters.

Wasn't Lloyd Grossman the original presenter?

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone seen Masterchef in France? One episode lasts about three and a half hours!

stillnotTheDoctor · 28/08/2018 01:11

Wasn't that old masterchef tho? Like this is the rebooted version?

Basta Yes, masticulate. Meaning to chomp and grind whilst eating. Similar to cattle.

Leave John and Gregg alone. We luffs them. well, John maybe. The gurning grocer.....not so much.

DameDoom · 29/08/2018 01:03

Masterchef in all its guises is flippin' brilliant although GoatWoman you have achieved the previously unthinkable: making me want to defend Greg Wallace.
I don't mean to be a MN pedant but the word 'masticulate' doesn't actually exist - would be good if it did though.

stillnotTheDoctor · 29/08/2018 07:52

Doesn't it? I thought it was a good word. What am I thinking of then?

SacharissaCrisplock · 29/08/2018 07:56

I think you mean 'masticate'

ToadOfSadness · 29/08/2018 08:00

I think masticulate is in the same dictionary as buldgey.

I gave up watching Masterchef a year or so ago, some of the things that were done to food were a bit too much for me.

Artesia · 29/08/2018 08:06

Masticate

Artesia · 29/08/2018 08:06

(Which is not something I ever thought I would have as a one-word MN post)

ShatnersWig · 29/08/2018 08:11

@GoatWoman In the UK we use the spelling programme for TV shows and booklets you buy in theatres and the spelling program for computers. We're not in America. Maybe you are, though?
