PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***

Next episode is Easter Monday at 8.30pm (for an hour). This is the start of knockout week.

Then:
Wednesday 8pm-9pm
Thursday 8pm-9pm
Friday 8.30pm-9pm

They start the week with 12, lose one a night and at the end of Friday they're down to 8.

Then just to confuse us even more they put an episode on a Sunday (12th April) 7.30-8pm.
Monday 13th 8pm-9pm.

That's as far as the BBC website shows at the moment. That's semi-final week so presumably the finals are the following week.

Soggy ballatine, sounds tasty (!)

I am late to the party as thought it as on at 8:30!

Are caramelised vegetables just roast veg?

Welcome quenelles. They've really got their knickers in a twist thus far

It's the tag team round? Great fun.

Bleurgh gritty food. Sloppy.

Oh ffs, almost everyone keeps calling it a 'ballontine', incl JT. It's ballotine - the twunts!

Is that it then? Me thinks they (BBC) are spreading this out a bit thin.

Oh. It's over, you're right, quenelles.

What is point?

See you all tomorrow at 9 then

9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 tomorrow - so I don't forget again.

What a stupid test imo. How was that about team-work? They had no opportunity to work as a team...

Just caught up on it as was out last night, I agree what a stupid test! What does it show?

All it shows is - it pays to keep the kitchen tidy after your 20 minutes and to place things strategically so the next person can see it all, and rush rush rush!

I felt sorry for whatshername who roasted the chicken and DID put things out neatly to say "make sauce here" and "this is the chicken timer".

I'm surprised that 3 out of the 4 didn't know how to cook polenta at that stage of the competition.

They've done this relay thing on MC Australia. Not a big fan of it. I also don't much like the restaurant kitchen and mass catering rounds so this is not my favourite phase. The best thing is when they cook something themselves, preferably not pre-planned

Ooh, I didn't know it was on last night. Thanks for the heads up. Will watch as I have lunch.

They did a relay type thing in one of the versions, perhaps the celebrity version. Some were better than others at signposting what the heck was going on to the next person.

And to think, not one of them did a fancy crispy chicken skin thingy-bob sticking out of the dinner like a little flag. I thought a bit of crispy chicken skin was mandatory these days.

I find it extremely irritating that they are putting programmes on at any old time, and on days that they are not usually shown.

Yes, they're making us spend time and energy actually seeking Gregg Wallace out. It feels wrong.

so so wrong squoosh. Also I work odd hours and sometimes I'm not around evenings and I can't plan. The programme schedulers are extremely inconsiderate.

I think I'm going to be missing most of the next week but I've already lost the plot. Last night there were 8 or whatever and I thought 'OK, I suppose the other 8 are on tomorrow night' but have just realised there are only 8 left (I think). They don't make it easy for us!

I've missed a good few because I am sick, been in bed for days :( I thought I had it on series link but then I remembered I was getting bored with it and took it off series link, so don't know what is happening, I'll try watch tonight and catch up.
