I quite like the instant restaurant rounds.

Drasko is a twat. Feel so sorry for his wife. She must drink a lot of wine.

Everyone check your listings tonight. I noticed MKR wasn't taping tonight or tomorrow on my Series Link. So I went to the channel. It is on tonight and tomorrow, but it's saying it's Kat and Andre's Redemption Kitchen both Nights. So it's not coming up as new so wasn't picking it up to tape it under the Series Link! I have Taped them both seperatly, it might be that actual episode, bizarly being repeated. But it also might not be! I just didn't want anyone to miss out

ALemonyPea · 21/09/2015 13:59

Mine is set, but thanks for the warning.

HSMMaCM · 21/09/2015 14:01

Thanks for the warning markingmyplace. I'll check mine. Drasco is annoying me too. The mum with her son is also faintly annoying. I liked the Texan bloke, he was funny.

MarkingMyPlace9 · 21/09/2015 14:14

I don't really have a favourite. But I suppose I would like the English Guys to win, although I think the good looking one carries the 'Dad' in some Challenges

MarkingMyPlace9 · 25/09/2015 10:11

How do Kat and Andre keep on missing Sudden Death??
I think I know who leaves in tonight's Sudden Death, as I stupidly looked a few episodes ahead the other Night and saw who went back to their Instant Restaurants at the end, and I saw one of the couples mentioned Tonight. I won't spoil though!

Moln · 25/09/2015 10:34

I actually can't recall if I saw it last night!!! How bad is that!!!

I'm guessing not as last one I saw was the sudden death between the two female friends and the two older men.

I'm confusing myself with the recordings and it doesn't help if you google anything that you risk accidentally seeing the outcome!!

MarkingMyPlace9 · 25/09/2015 10:52

Sounds like you have missed a couple Moln I think there's been a challenge, Sudden Death and then the other Challenge last Night since that one!

Moln · 25/09/2015 14:21

Really?

How have I managed that!!!!

OP posts:
Moln · 25/09/2015 14:23

Oh no wait!!! I've seen a sudden death with the two English guys. That was after the two older men and two friends wasn't it?

They were up against Horrible Tennis Man and Wife.

MarkingMyPlace9 · 25/09/2015 14:33

Ah yes, so it's just last Nights challenge! Phew Smile

Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 26/09/2015 11:58

Marking you are so right Kat and DooDah need to go. I'm a couple of episodes behind.

I think the reason I don't like the new format is because the quick fire rounds almost make it an apprenticeship. I'm not sure they can improve along the way using this format. It all just comes down to how well they do on the night.

Moln · 26/09/2015 19:22

Completely Marceline. There needs to be more actually restaurants with different orders. Just about all of them 'dream' of owning a restursant but they aren't learning/improving this skill. The people choices are consisting of Kat screaming at people to vote for them and others begging for votes.

I'm on the sudden death from Friday now.

OP posts:
ellenanora5 · 26/09/2015 23:27

Well well well, Kat and Andre are still in it, seriously, how, they are useless.

I quite like Jac and Chaz, they put a lot of thought into their food and in fairness so do Ash and Camilla, but nobody is really outstanding, I really don't like the English guys, the older chaps lips upset me, he looks like he is slobbering or something all the time, sorry that probably sounds awful but it really puts me off him.

I can't predict a winner at all, and the sudden death rounds are too frequent, also with some teams winning peoples choice and then being safe for two rounds means we don't get to see some teams cook a lot.

I sound like a right grumpy arse don't I Blush

Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 27/09/2015 07:57

They went for quantity with three instant restaurant rounds rather than two. This format sometimes gets rid of the better teams. I'd like to see people tested and missing the skills tests out allows people to hide. I don't really get a sense of teams like Ash and Camilla. Are they doing OK or nesting under the radar? I really like Colin but still I miss Manu. I'd like the guests chefs to set challenges.

ALemonyPea · 27/09/2015 23:36

Ash and camilla aren't annoying me as much as they were at the beginning. They've calmed down a bit.

I too miss the two challenges before sudden death.

Moln · 28/09/2015 14:45

We are just not witnessing them enough in a less pressured situation it see what they are like. Some of them we have hardly witnessed at all!!

Jac and Chaz do think their menus through certainly. Though her (one of them!!) accent seems like a parody - she's so high pitched at the end of sentences!!!

OP posts:
Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 28/09/2015 22:21

Ash or Camilla took perverse pleasure in Kat and Andre's panic. I think they remain snotty but horrid is not getting the same airtime as previous years.

I don't know why Steve thought Drasco was such a threat. The lamb must have been amazing. Great paleo choice was bound to please Pete. I think Bianca pissed on their chips - Pete's face was a picture when she said it was Drasco's dream and she was starting to get on board. She's undersold herself; her input has massively pulled them through each challenge.

I wonder how the choice of protein was determined?

I want to like the Brit guys but the fact they are ex- bankers and that they are ultra competitive puts me off. They are good though.

Moln · 29/09/2015 09:39

I'm behind the Brits purely for jingoist reasons.

I thinking hoping the outcome of tonight's sudden death is obvious.

OP posts:
Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 29/09/2015 17:39

Me too. I've got to support the Brits. If Steve refers to himself in the third person Marcelinewhyareyousomean won't be happy and will think him a bit of a twat.

The menu and technique for one side is going to be far superior than the other. I expect meltdowns. I miss that wee preview they used to do.

MarkingMyPlace9 · 29/09/2015 18:20

I am so fricking glad there in Sudden Death! I actually cheered out loud watching it earlier, cannot wait to watch it and hopefully seeing them crash and burn

Moln · 29/09/2015 18:29

Yep. Pretty much this is what I'm expecting.

I need Drasco to go too. He just comes across as so chauvinistic. I feel he thinks she's just a silly woman and he is amazingly talented, yet it's because of her they are progressing.

OP posts:
Lunastarfish · 29/09/2015 18:53

Drasko so desperately wants to be a TV chef I find it embarrassing to watch him.

Moln · 29/09/2015 19:42

Yes you're right it's embarrassing. The way he jumps around manically (wanting to blame someone) when things go wrong.

He should team up with Kat, the spiral into disaster would be spectacular.

OP posts:
Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 29/09/2015 20:01

Drasco mansplaining is ridiculous and brings the cringe.

Someone's dish is inedible Grin.

Camilla or Ash are being horrid. Who made them the guest judges?
