Well, are we still watching the RUBBISH new format Masterchef. Ruined I tell you, ruined.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Bah.

I may abstain.

Now, lets be fair, last year we mocked the lengthy intros and talky bits where the contestants spoke about their lives etc.

This year they didnt do it and we dont know who the fuck anyone is.

Which is better?

That Thomasina woman? DH and I watched that in an orgy of speculation as to what they got up to in the tent when the cameras were off. Can't remember what they cooked.

Poor contestants, they've been flown all over the world in the past and this lot get a very chilly, damp Cumbria.

I have a telescope. My brother gave it to me. It's small thought, and crap. We went on a stargazing w/e camp once. Fully of astronomers. They show their manliness by the size of their 'scopes, you know.

"and this is a special cumberland truffle - turdus sheepus"

Is it the cow or the chicken that's going to be lunch?

Arf at Duffy

Yes Tomasina. Knew it was one of those upper rust names that should never be used, except in jest.

ooo - venison fight !

:o duffy
liking the barn, straight from lambing live.

Thomasina's doing ok now though

how did I bloody know shellina would get her way

Tom can plaster my house anytime........

Miss the fact that the bottom three should go head-to-head in some kind of elimination round. There is just no chance to redeem a bad dish. Then again Emma's dishes were all bad!

Note that when her name is mentioned in the line up Aki without fail will go all little girl about to get into trouble and then trot off when her name is called.

yep love a burrito & mohito (sp?) at wahaca

Oh dear, Greg cannot quite pull of 'geezer of the street'

I have a water tower.

I must be very manly then as I was in charge of this one for half an hour yesterday. [big balls emoticon]

Not as fine as mine, fanny.

Another pudding debacle? Hurrah!

I've read the blogs of a couple of previous contestants who are still cooking, this lot have nowhere near the passion needed. It's like they're doing this because nothing else was available - I don't see the desire to cook.

FFS even Destinnniiii and her street food from forrinnn showed more spark.

Instinctual!

Is it Jack's, Fanny?

Shelina is scary. I can imagine working for her must be such fun.

destiniii was fab - annoyingly entertaining

I am a scientist. I have zero affection for Aki. Obviously not my kind of scientist. (Still can't believe she really is.)

french toast ...drrrrrooooooolllll

I feel a feck up coming before luncheon is served...getting a little tetchy with other
