I don't know- usually they give feedback so that they can change a course at the next stage. That said, it doesn't stand a chance of getting to the banquet.

MsNobodyAgain · 08/03/2013 20:22

If Chris hadn't have messed up his soup, he would have won. I am still shaking my head about the Titanic smoker and the 'volcano'

I love Glynn, he is my fave ever tv chef.

I thought ALL food this week was awful.

Titanic, outrageously bad taste in more ways than one.

Central next week, I am a midlands girl so it's always my favourite.

Oodsigma · 09/03/2013 18:37

Just caught up, not impressed with results, thought Chris was better than Ray. Thought Ian was better than all. Not sure the format is wiring as well this time.

Raahh · 11/03/2013 19:38

OMG- now,I'll be the first to admit I don't get the fawning over Marcus Wareing, (so any excuse to have a go at him is good) - and I am very much a beard woman- but WTF IS ON HIS FACEGrin

Raahh · 11/03/2013 19:39

In fact, he looks as greasy ChrisShock

MsNobodyAgain · 11/03/2013 19:41

I was shocked when I saw him. Not a good look.

I am surprised that one of the chefs is doing fish in the starter when there is a fish course to follow.

OP posts:
Raahh · 11/03/2013 19:50

But some of the fish courses have had more meat in them than fish, MsNo- maybe he's doing that!

Marcus looks like the dog that won Crufts but not as cuteGrin

MsNobodyAgain · 11/03/2013 20:01

True, on both counts Smile

Not very inspiring tonight. The only one I would eat would be the fish one. Hope tomorrow is better. This brief is really getting on my wick.

more inspiring than last week though surely! I don't particularly like Marcus Wareing, he tends to come across as quite rude and no sense of humour (purely based on watching a Masterchef episode) but I thought he was really fair in his score.

I'm still reeling from the fact that that obnoxious guy Ray with his awful awful Titanic dish got through last week when the other guy was so much better (and less of an arsehole).

Oodsigma · 11/03/2013 20:09

I'd like the goats cheese one. But think this week could be close. And Marcus wearing could go either way.0

Bilbobagginstummy · 11/03/2013 20:16

Marcus Wareing get your hair cut! And washed!

Raahh · 11/03/2013 20:52

Badgers- definitely better than last week. And the bizarre Titanic fiascoGrin

Oodsigma · 11/03/2013 20:54

Has anyone we liked got through ?

MsNobodyAgain · 12/03/2013 18:28

That is a good question Ood. I think we've all more or less moaned about every single result.

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/03/2013 18:35

MsNo
Grin - we have indeed. I think we may have been relieved that Aideen finally got through on his 4th attempt.

There have been no stand out dishes - except maybe for the wrong reasons- like Titanic.

But,as we've said over and over- I think this year's brief is rubbish,and has totally flummoxed some of them. So,it's either funny,or edible. The two don't seem to mixGrin

Raahh · 12/03/2013 18:35

Aiden obviouslyBlush

MsNobodyAgain · 12/03/2013 19:28

Aideen sounds like it should be on a baby name thread. Grin

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/03/2013 19:34

I imagine Aideen to be second cousin to Our Avaline, in 'Bread'Grin

MsNobodyAgain · 12/03/2013 19:36
Grin

Will is missing the brief. He's almost as humourless as Marcus and that is saying something.

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/03/2013 19:40

yup, stick a cherry tomato on there- instant red nose.

The should have gone with my pollock/bollock/mohican idea.

And CR is this Friday, wouldn't you have thought the series should be finished by then - when's the final?

MsNobodyAgain · 12/03/2013 19:44

Don't know when the final is but Google tells me we still have the Wales stint to go next week.

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/03/2013 19:45

of course- for some reason, I thought they'd done Wales already.

MsNobodyAgain · 12/03/2013 19:48

Hard work for a potato basket. I'd have given up by now.

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/03/2013 19:50

Was it potato? when it was raw, I was a tad worried it was tripe!
