Master Chef Professionals. Part II.We all live for Thursdays. A main of Marcus with a side of Jay.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

And not a Gregg's sausage roll to be seen.

Anyone watching tonight?

I am. It's doing my head in though - I'm convinced I've seen that Luciana on TV somewhere before. Is it just me?

Last weeks MC?
Where is everyone?

Like Catherine's pudding

My Azorian friend used to cook baccalau for me. I love it.

Good bunch tonight. Brain bleach for thought of Greggs in shorts.

I'm sure Greg has said before that he doesn't like goats cheese. Seems a bit unfair to judge someone badly because of your personal taste.

jaffakake she looks ridiculously like the bird that Colin Firth fancied in Love Actually, maybe thats why you think you've seen her on telly before?

I was looking forward to reading all the witty banter from tonight's cook-off...where is everyone?!

I would have watched, but I had to finish something I need for work tomorrow (at 9am). Glad I missed greg's legs though.

Mac nab, that's it! Thank you!

We didn't actually see Gregg's legs, Calam, but as shorts were mentioned a hideous mental image was unavoidable.

I'm sorry about Katherine but I agree with her that she might have reached her peak. I had thought Ben might win, so am now revising that opinion! I had thought all the way that Ollie was lucky to have got this far and I still think he will probably not make it to the final three. Yes, Luciana really does look like that Love Actually woman! Must be a Portuguese thing (via Brazil for L, obviously).

So pleased that both the Scots are through, but sorry to see that Jamie and Richard are head to head tonight as I want them both to proceed. Hmm.

I wonder how they pair them up at this stage, is it really random? I often get the feeling that its been done strategically and if the pairings were different then people might have a far better chance of getting through.

Don't think I've seen the 2* Chef who's restaurant is on tonight, a french lady by the sounds of it. Remember when they used to go Marcus' restaurant! DH & I would be feeling so sorry for whoever got to go there because Marcus seemed like such a grumpy fecker. He's a totally different character now that he's in the driving seat!

Rather a spectacular cook. I was sorry to see Katherine go, I think she'd peaked, though.

Wow. Thanks for the link mazylou a meal there is definitely now on my bucket list when I win the lotto

Looking forward to tonight's show now

I love when they basically ignore Gregg.

Mine too, macnab, mine too. Better start doing the lotto, hadn't we?

I agree about Gregg, he just isn't in the same league as M&M. They don't want to please Gregg so much as Marcus or Monica.

Evening all. I'm watching cute tigers in preparation for masterchef.

Evening. Sorry to have missed last night's events.

Oh hello. Was getting paranoid that there was somewhere else for MC fans. Yeah I reckon I could force some of her food down.
Oh it's the Iceman.

Hughmungus scallop there!

That is a big scallop.

Oh good tip about the paper in the pan so spices don't burn.

It looks delicious. I agree about the good tip.

Duck fat. The south of France way.

Strawberries and beetroot is a very red combo.

Dhsaid it's not a big scallop, she has tiny umpaloompa hands.
The pigeon dish is much more complex.
