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

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Bah.

I may abstain.

Was she still gurning?

How do you think I recognised her?! With a bloke.

Blimey ....

Kitchin... Tom is it Tom?

Good name for a chef.

Just watching now - purposely haven't read thread, 'til after wonder if there was any coments about that fella gushing all night about it?

my money is on andrew . Assuming he doesn't have a nervous breakdown first.

Andrew to win, if he holds it together, with Eamon and Shelina in final three.

I thought Jay was going last night. Poor Aki, loved her enthusiasm.

Was 'badger' a weird pronunciation of bhajia - fried vegetable thing - or variation on that, bhaja?

I like to think it was roadkill! Andrew does have the creative spark but not sure he can hold it together - looks like a really really tough experience and he does come out with some sparks of genius (although his poor little startled/scared koala face looks so pitiful).

Ah, I missed this as was sunning myself on a white sandy beach and eating delicious freshly prepared gourmet food in canaries working my way through a giant buffet and trying to drink my bodyweight in wine

Can I just say GUTTED Aki went- and I missed it! Hurrah! Did she cry? Did she do a weird gurn- from comments above I deduce she made deep fried jelly worm, or something? Not good?

So betting on the winner. Hmm. Shelina too irritating, Eamonn too moist, Andrew has big earlobes and Tom is a bit rat faced. I cannot remember the others- Jay is the scary tattooed bloke? As for their cooking I couldnt possibly say as this programme does not demonstrate it. Err I vote Andrew on basis that I have a feeling.

Anyone watching later

Yes, I am here and ready to suffer. Again.

Of course. And tonight I have wine.

checking in...its the critics tonight which is usually good

pours

Oh Maryz, thats rubbish. Cant you banish the football to another tv?

Well, we will make it happen right in front of your eyes.

Remind me of people again?

I'm here!

oh no ...more time for talking about our dreams

This is my favourite round...

(and I have a very soft spot for Jay Rayner)

I see. So tonight we have to be convinved of their passion.
