Squoosh! Looks who is back for Masterchef Professionals!

[TheSpectreOfMorningtonCrescent]

It's only Marcus Wareing. Starts next week. Are we ready?

Just started later due to the space station program

Monica is all smiley this episode. She looks fabulous!

I'd elbow Monica and Marcus out of the way to get to that dessert.

Make it double the size and I'd fight you for it.

Yeah, it's not a large portion, is it?

I think Mark might have won this

I thought Mark was the better chef throughout. I think he's got it too.

I like them both. Sad to see one go.

They were both very good. Ah well, tis the nature of competition.

Now to watch Back in Time for Christmas - from the sublime to the ridiculous

Same. Almost cried as they both tried so hard and were so good.

Oh Dean was really upset :/

Why do they make them aware such big name badges, but then write their names in such small writing?

Sad to see Dean go but Mark's food looked beautiful.

Very unhappy at the group of three for tonight. I like all of them.

I loved seeing what previous winner's can achieve. DH was googling that menu and its not overly pricey (not that he's taking me there or anything!!)

Definitely thought Mark's food on the cook-off was better, even how they decided based on "whose menu would you choose again" - he got better comments from Marcus too. But I felt so bad for Dean. I wonder how they decide who goes up against each other? Is it a random draw?

Tonight will be interesting...

Don't know if I'm ready for tonight's episode. They're all just so nice :/

Must have taken them ages to film the guys walking into the restaurant. They parked right outside it then took them across the little bridge and back. Nutty. I love that side of the restaurant, though. The workers' entrance is on a much less picturesque street. (I used to live close to the Kitchin. It's in Leith in Edinburgh, where Trainspotting is set, and there are so many great restaurants around there. They've made the area really beautiful. I miss living there.)

Tom Kitchin's food looks amazing. I really, really want to eat there.

Don't want any of these guys to go out.

After last night I'm wondering whether Mark might be a real contender? His food looked fantastic.

I'm worried for Danilo tonight...

Heh. I've never seen Tom Kitchin that grumpy before. Poor Darren. This must be tough when your normal job doesn't involve service.

Would it be the same for Danilo, working for the Embassy?

Oh no Darren

I'm getting stressed watching this.

Why do they care so much about the bloody quenelles? They're just going to melt and/or be eaten.

What happened to Darren. I missed it, I had to feed the cat.

He was cooking the fish badly and Kitchin was losing his mind.

I'm sure Tom Kitchin is a slightly tall Nac Mac Feegle. He's certainly grumpy & shouty enough.

I wouldn't like TK being angry with me.

Those soufflés look incredible.
