My Kitchen Rules: Australia - Series 5

[Moln]

Who else is watching it?

I need somewhere to vent about David and Corinne!!!

"blow off in my mouth" - does blow off mean fart in Aussie like it does in EnglishEnglish? Although it was one of the poms who said it...

I wondered if we might get a pom team eventually.

Best of all: I can swoon at Colin every week night.

Eww really? Colin is horrible and greasy.

He doesn't gave the best poker face either when tasting food. I do like how blunt he is.

I have a thing about dark-haired Irishmen

There's definitely nicer dark haired irish men about and ones without such messed up accents!! Colin's accent is such a mishmash isn't it!!

I can't see anything wrong with his accent. I'm from Dublin and he's a perfectly normal Dublin accent. I laugh at them all swooning over him when it's all I hear every day.

There's bits of Oz pronunciation there for certain, with a bit of cockney now and again!! His Dublin accent is still notable without a doubt (I live in Dublin). It seems to depend on the word he's saying.

Love Colin Shame Manu isn't doing this Instant Kitchen round with Him. Those 2 Accents together

I'll admit some of his vowels do sound rather mangled-Cockney.

I'm no expert on Irish accents - as my Irishman has a N London accent :) His father, who came over from the far SW in the 40's, had a completely impenetrable accent till the day he died!

I bet he is a beast in bed.

Dunno, there's a good chance he'd be all critical and bossy.

If I HAD to shag one of the judges (including the guest ones) I'd chose Manu, because I think he'd make the nicest breakfast (I'm assuming I'm staying over), or maybe the woman judge with the dark hair, she seems nice, I'd quite like to share a bottle if red with her (though I'd have to take a sneaky look at her driving licence fir her name). Though possibly Colin, or Pete.

Though I'd definitely want a breakfast made for me in the morning.

She's called Karen Matini.

at being so focused on wanting breakfast the next day.

Most important meal of the day

I agree with Lemony about what he's like in bed (although you think he is horrible and greasy??)

Had he stayed in Ireland, he'd still have his natural pale skin - maybe that's why he might seem greasy?

Manu is too chunky for me although agree re breakfast. OTOH I bet Colin does an ace Full Irish

You see I'm not mad about full cooked breakfast (do eat them though!) also I prefer a chunky chef to a thin one, I wabt someone who appears to enjoy food to be cooking!!

I just read that Pete is into the paleo diet and almost didn't get back in as a judge because of that.

Karen (thanks for the name save me rooting through her bag) does not like paleo as thinks it bad for you. So I'm pleased with my selecting of Manu and Karen (and am excited about the imaginary breakfasts)

I love the direction this thread has taken! I'll take Breakfast off of any of them, although want it to be big and Greasy, so that might take Pete out of the loop.
I think that Pete looks ill since He went on that Diet. The difference between Him in Series 4 then Series 5 (I think) is shocking. I actually had to Google it as I thought He had been seriously ill!
I wonder if the rumours that Pete isn't coming back for Series 7 are true and that's why Colin has been doing more and more in the last 3 Series (Comeback Kitchen, Food Truck and now His own Instant Restaurant)

Moln, I'm in stitches here at your posts , very funny, I hope he wouldn't just serve up porridge to you, makes an awful mess on the duvet.

Oh had to name change a bit because I couldn't get logged in after hacker gate, that's why I haven't been on the thread.

I was wondering the same about Pete, that maybe Colin will replace him, I was delighted he got his own couples,nth at shook the others up a bit.

Your man Drasko was a right tosser, I would have killed him if I was his girlfriend.

The two model/butcher girls are going to be nasty I think, wait till they meet Ash and Cammilla, could be fireworks there

What's the paelo diet, never heard of it.

I'm a bit behind currently watching Josh and his mother.

They're seriously doing my head in first with all the gushing about each other but mostly the way every sodding sentence they speak they put Josh or mum in. Ffs who talks like that.

Paleo diet is based on eating how early humans who have eaten, so meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, not processed food, nor any dairy, cereal, grains or sugar.

Which would mean no porridge for breakfast. Could be a bonus point for Pete there I suppose, though, not to paint myself as high maintance, but I was hoping for breakfast on the kitchen table with a table cloth. Possibly a nice vase of flowers too

Anyway (don't read this till you've caught up Redgliter) don't want to sound mean but two things that turn my stomach

1. Anyone finding a hair in food
2. Someone sweating so much whilst they cook they need to mop their brow

I think I'd be out the door on tonight's couple, or crying in the toilet. I'm NOT a fussy eater (ate school dinners in the 80s including kitikat pie and concrete with green custard, and did it without complaint)

[sick face emoticon] to hair in food though.

Thanks moln, nope, couldn't live with that diet I'm a sugar fiend, and dairy, and everything else that is bad for me (stuffs face with Brie,Apple, and crackers)

Oh the hair was gross, did you see the length of it, puke, they really fell apart though, nothing was working for them.

I never heard of the cut of meat before (was it bolo or something, can't remember now) but why wouldn't they have ordered it in advance, or is that against the rules.

I think Moggle Butchers may have achieved my prize for the MKR couple I actual hate.

I want to see pure disaster on their night. An evacuation of their house due to a fire, just after the starter, would be good.

Oh joining, Hi!

I have just recently found MKR & I love it. Although not so fussed on the two butcher girls, they are coming across really bitchy.

Love the whole concept of the programme although am not sure wgat happens after everyone has cooked?!

It gets even better, fretty

I've tried to type this about 5 times on my phone but fat thumb keeps hitting off the startrite add just before i post and the the browser natigates away from it and I lose my post!!!

Anyway fretty, after the instant restaurants there are challenges (in many varying forms), mostly there are two challenges followed by a sudden death round. The losers from the first challenge compete against the losers from the second challenge and make a three course meal which then is eaten by the two judges and guest judges, and the other contestants. Whoever comes out bottom goes out the competition

The challenges take all forms really there's been the couples cooking/waiting for their own restaurants, and loads of people from the public are invited to choose which restaurant they like best and then get to pay what they feel it was worth after eating it to making food for. We've school children and they children try what food they would like the best and then vote, some thing with construction workers. There's been breakfast and lunchtime street stalls, stalls at festivals. The food truck challenges consisted of the couples splitting into two teams and each time having to run and cater for a pop up restaurant, the losing team then has to compete against each other making menus consisting of certain food.

They also throw in things like the winner of on challenge then has an advantage in the next, be it being able to chose what ingredient they use or even what ingredient the others use (i.e. give the other team offal to base their menu on)

That's only a sample of what's to come really!!!

Ah, but they're not moggles, they're promo girls, which means they're not good enough to be proper moggles, they just stand around looking pretty (?) while they hand out leaflets.

They might be pretty, but their personalities are downright ugly.

I don't even think the Blonde one is pretty ALemonyPea They annoy me as much as Ashlee and Sophia did!
