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

Anyone else have any thoughts?

oh James,without a doubt

cremolafoam · 28/02/2008 17:37

i like jonny.he has actually acheived the mostand been reasonably consistent.it owas only those unforgivable chips.emily has needed help on every single task this week.
James was the best cook from the start- but too much on a plate my friend.his food makes me want to boke. at least jonny can cook something that looks like you would want to eat it.LOL
i hate all that forlock doffing to the michelin starred ones.what a bunch of tossers.

MaryAnnSingleton · 28/02/2008 17:38

the Michelin chefs aren't tossers - perhaps the fawning worship is a bit eeeww, but they are all top !

Emily simply has to win
She has so much scope

Mercy · 28/02/2008 17:39

That's a fair point about Johnny.

Emily too young and inexperienced

Mercy · 28/02/2008 17:41

She's got a place at Oxford anyway. I can't imagine her giving that up to become a professional cook.

MaryAnnSingleton · 28/02/2008 17:43

I'd much rather go to Oxford than spend my life in a vile,sweaty kitchen full of cross people

CatIsSleepy · 28/02/2008 17:44

oh james probably
emily too young and a bit irritating
johnny annoying for some reason

lullabyloo · 28/02/2008 18:06

poor Emily
I think she is quite extraordinary

Greg says "cooking doesn't get tougher than this."

John says "it'll change their life".

I won't be sorry not hear the bleeding intro again...

Sorry. That was awfully rude .

But the intro is just getting on my nerves - I'm not rational when I hear those words...

TheFallenMadonna · 28/02/2008 18:13

I think I need this series to end....

DarthVader · 28/02/2008 18:24

Emily is the most talented

James is highly accomplished but doesn't have the originality of Emily.

filthymindedvixen · 28/02/2008 18:32

mind you, I reckon most of the last 6 or so will be offered a plethora of great jobs after their performances.
Think Emily will win but can see poncey James with his own cookery show or something

RedFraggle · 28/02/2008 18:32

I think James will win, with Emily coming in second. Jonny hasn't really impressed me at all - I don't think he deserves to be in the final, he was just lucky that the others messed up. IMHO...

I don't fancy James although he is quite sweet... DH thinks he looks like Sideshow Bob (from the Simpsons) so that's we call him when we watch it

Oenophile · 28/02/2008 18:43

James for me. His eyes are so speaking! they brim with emotion. You can see his sweet soul in those eyes and the tiniest, sad little wobble of his lip when things go wrong for him. On the other hand he is also strong under pressure, calm, kind and sensible. Go James!

Johnny makes some nice food, but he's obviously very competitive and determined, which isn't appealing, somehow. And he was quite bossy and patronising with Sheridan and made her doubt herself.

While she's intriguing, and amazingly talented, I find Emily quite annoying. Something in the girlie dimply simper when she's praised, the way she reminds us occasionally 'and I'm only 18!'
and the way she was quick to let us know she'd 'drawn the short straw' with her wedding duties. However, she's a fantastic cook and will obviously go far with her originality. I guess I shouldn't resent her playing the 'I'm 18 and all the ageing men here fancy me' card too much, because I'm sure I dimpled and simpered a bit when I was young and gorgeous myself

Scampmum · 28/02/2008 20:55

James or Emily. James, I think. Would like Jonny to win, though.

NannyDonna · 28/02/2008 21:10

I AM SOOO PLEASED THE RIGHT MAN WON.HIS PUDDING LOOKED YUUUUMMY!
WELL DONE JAMES.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 28/02/2008 21:28

yay that James won but I hope that Emily gets headhunted by someone who can really nurture her skills.

MaryAnnSingleton · 28/02/2008 22:20

Yay !!

Wisteria · 29/02/2008 09:15

I think Emily will be snapped up by the Paris Chef she was working with, he was a bit wacky with food - she could be his protege......I don't think she'll be going to Oxford, do you?
