Young POsh Woman to Win Masterchef

[pointydog]

So I've started watching Masterchef LArging It with the kids.

And John Torode is really starting to get on my wick. First off, he put through plummy pretty pert Harriet even though he admitted that someone else had made the best plate of food ever.

I'm thinking, is he a sexist lizard-eyed blurke?

Then today, he puts through semi-plummy pretty pert Natasha even though Greg disagreed once more, her goat's cheese tart had nothing to it, she mixed rice with grapefruit and neither of them liked her pudding.

So. I can now predict that Harriet will win Masterchef.

But this evening I watched Venetia (plate of sick), Gerry and Rhona.

Why am I not seeing the same as you?

[LIZS]

where are you Pointydog , perhaps the regional scheduling differs ?

[pointydog]

ah yes. maybe it's scottish tv. we're always a decade behind.

[Molesworth]

LOL @ "Venetia (plate of sick)"

[TwoIfBySea]

Pointydog, take it you are in Scotland too. What I do is watch both Thursday and Friday episodes on Sky channel 989, BBC2 England I think it is.

Thanks to us being force fed gaelic programmes on Thursday we would otherwise be a week behind.

And before I am hunted down again by DancingBambi I will once again say it is a fix. The last 2 winners won despite glaring continual mistakes that were overlooked conveniently. The last 2 winners had ties in the media world. And not only are they prejudice against looks but also accents, why couldn't the Irish guy have cooked - I would have liked to see what he did!

Toad Torode was on The Wright Stuff this week and went all lechy when he said he has a girl who works in his office who used to be a bikini model.

[TwoIfBySea]

Not a week behind, a day behind, if you don't have Sky you will need to stay in tomorrow and it is on BBC1 at 11.30 I think.

[Molesworth]

I must say I was surprised that Peter won last year

[pointydog]

that's right, two, it's all the gaelic guff, isn't it! I forgot.

We get all excited on a thursday for large masterchef, turn on the telly and it's the most cringey rubbishy gaelic programme ever.

We don't have sky.

I hate gaelic telly

[pointydog]

and it's all a fix, is it?

well I've only started watching it recently and it all seems rigged to me.

[foxinsocks]

ahh pointy, I didn't realise the BBC changed the programmes around for the regions! Now I see why you were so confused!

Do you get the quarterfinals on a Saturday then?

[TwoIfBySea]

Pointydog, you get better quality programmes on YouTube made in people's livingroom than the rubbish they put out in Gaelic.

It is one of my big bugbears as I am Scottish, my whole family is Scottish and I have met one person in my lifetime who can speak Gael and they were from South Uist. They don't have programmes in Scots and Doric which I can understand and it isn't like in Wales where everyone takes pride in their language and there is a desire to speak it. They force feed us gaelic rather than make decent Scottish programmes, I would love to watch stuff like Eorpa, which is about current affairs in Europe, but I'll be damned if I am going to read subtitles - why don't they put subtitles in gaelic and let the 80,000 people who speak gaelic do the reading!

Ahem, sorry, I shall go and lie down in a darkened room now.

Masterchef is a fix, I now spend my time wondering who is the set winner rather than looking on terms of merit.

[pointydog]

I agree with you, two. Same background, we're all Scottish. Bloody hate crappy gaelic tv.

[pointydog]

interviewing emma bunton so having to talk in eNGLISH. Now, where is there any logic in that? Not even interviewing. Asking her questions like ducks or beavers.

[Ready]

I want William to win, he's a cutie

[Tinker]

After reading this feel dirty fancying John Torode now

But, what, exactly, is the point of Greg Wallace? He's just a poncey greengrocer isn't he?

[pointydog]

you dirty, dirty tinker

Greg Wallace is just there as a voice of reason to try to stop Torode being such a lech.

[Tinker]

Greg Wallace is there to just peer sternly over his glasses.

[aDad]

Have you seen the way John eats though??!

It is not nice viewing - he sticks his oversize tongue out a mile as the spoon or fork approaches. ewwww. Maybe he really is a lizard?

The producers or his family have obviously told him about it this series, because he's toned it down a bit.

[foxinsocks]

Greg's a food writer and ingredients expert (snigger) doncha know

in fact, by the end of this series, I reckon I'll be able to recite those opening lines off by heart

[foxinsocks]

also, I swear John unbuttons/opens up his shirt just a leeeeetle bit more every time he is on

[bewilderbeast]

Tinker, your "what, exactly, is the point of Greg Wallace?" should be quote of the week.

[aDad]

I'll stick up for Greg!

I think he has more insightful points to make about food.
And I think he comes across far better than John.
Seems like a nicer bloke.
He isn't a bug-eyed chameleon type.

[foxinsocks]

he is pudding obsessed though isn't he (Gregg)

[Molesworth]

I love Gregg!

Just for his "pudding face"

[aDad]

god yes.

it just has to be sweet and he gets a delirious smile on his face.
