My guess is that James will win, with Emily a close second

Anyone else have any thoughts?

You're probably right but I would like Emily to win.

Habbibu · 25/02/2008 20:19

Yes, I think you're right, unless James stuffs up - he's just that bit more experienced, but she is just amazing.

Carmenere · 25/02/2008 20:20

James

Nicecupofwine · 25/02/2008 20:20

Think James is very gifted and quite humble with it. Hope he wins. Can't stand the Irish fella. He goes for the sympathy "I'm a single father" vote on almost every VT take.

RubySlippers · 25/02/2008 20:21

yep - altho' Emily's egg ravioli was stupendous IMHO

RubySlippers · 25/02/2008 20:22

i like jonny but his cooking hasn't got that "wow" factor

katierocket · 25/02/2008 20:24

james will win
emily will come second

MakemineaGandT · 25/02/2008 20:25

I also find Jonny a bit annoying! And [whispers] - I can't see why he's reached the last 3 - his cooking isn't anything special IMHO

Emily is amazing though seems to be getting a little cocky in the last couple of shows (mind you - she has reason to feel proud of herself let's face it!)

would be happy for either James or Emily to win. Both fantastic. I think she is amazing to be cooking like that at her age and hope that even if she comes 2nd there'll still be a big b right future ahead for her

Habbibu · 25/02/2008 20:27

I think Jonny's got through by other people stuffing up, to be honest. I think Emily is sweet - at 18 you're allowed to let it go to your head, I think!

mrsruffallo · 25/02/2008 20:28

John Torode [?sp] Is so annoying!!!!

MakemineaGandT · 25/02/2008 20:30

I agree - I find John Torode totally graceless. Greg Wallace is great though

Yes, I like Greg Wallace..ooh, its starting

moodlumthehoodlum · 25/02/2008 20:36

I think Emily will win.

I think I went to Uni with Jonny.

I also think that the irish guy is a widower.

I don't like John Torode.

Habbibu · 27/02/2008 19:33

So what's our thinking after yesterday? I suspect that Emily's lack of experience may be her downfall, but this will still kickstart a fantastic career for her. I think James is quite a nice team-mate - Emily probably more brilliant, but right now at this stage in their lives/careers James probably has the edge.

moopymoo · 27/02/2008 19:35

I very lust after John Torode. Does that make me weird? Though dh looks like greg. i want emily to win.

bundle · 27/02/2008 19:37

yes james i think
jonny not a good leader,easily flustered.
emily's skin has taken turn for worse understress too
luv Gregg!

theUrbanDryad · 27/02/2008 19:37

why the f were theyn in the jungle?

i bet Hugh Fearnley- Whatsisface has never cooked for fifty squaddies in the middle of the jungle!

i think James will win. he rocks.

Wisteria · 27/02/2008 19:39

Had this discussion last night.

I want James to win because I think he can and I think he'll get the most out of it.

I am probably being unreasonable here but my worry with the Irish guy is that his ability to parent his children maybe compromised as he is 'single Dad' man and cheffing is a full on job with unsociable hours so more difficult - but also, I think he is a bit lacking in imagination although very efficient. Would be an excellent head chef at a decent pub.

Emily I think will be spotted from this anyway and go onto great things so doesn't need to win - but she's incredible and undoubtedly the most naturally talented.

Wisteria · 27/02/2008 19:40

(and secretly really fancy James as well )

lionheart · 27/02/2008 19:44

I went off the Irish guy over the deconstruction thing.

Wisteria · 27/02/2008 19:47

I went off him when he tried to cook chips in butter - ponce...........

and when he was mean to Emily last night - can't believe how mature she is, does anyone know what her background is? I'd be sooo proud if I were one of her parents. She has no arrogance or cockiness in her, which I find so unusual for a teenager of that ability.

theUrbanDryad · 27/02/2008 19:50

Wisteria - i thought Jonny's butter chips were awful! if you want really nice chips you cook them in goose fat!

i really fancy James too (don't tell dh!)

Mercy · 27/02/2008 19:52

When is the final - tomorrow?
