Masterchef. Come hither, food fans, and pass judgment

[Halsall]

New thread!

She can't help herself can she.

I'm telling you, they are setting her up to win it, god now she'll be on every series to come

four I look forward to us spending our first family Crimbo together!

On reflection, maybe if I did fancy cooking, I'd be thin. You don't seem to get much to eat!

I'll probably throw things at the TV if she wins.

Ping cooked Malaysian food a lot, but she also did plenty of other styles. Saliha is so one note. I liked her at the beginning too.

At least there were no flowers on her dessert I suppose.

You are right ellen Salinha is going to win this.

I fear you're right, ellen. She'll be one of the judges next year, bandying about wanky cheffy jargon and looking superior

He thinks he's gone a little greyer?🤔

Someone really should let the poor man know he's bald.

I remember in the good old days when the chefs would give feedback on the contestants to Greg and John and they would listen to them

John has a tie on for the final!!

Tomorrow at 8. 30 people. Wine* and snacks at the ready.
*other beverages are acceptable

Bye all Might de lurk tomorrow as well - I'm generally watching catch up or don't have my phone to hand.

Oh it's their life stories tomorrow. I going to be disappointed if giovanna doesn't come from a rambling pile surrounded by a pack of Labradors and horses.
See you one more time!

I will be cross if Giovanna doesn't win.

Cross I tell you.

See you all tomorrow, can't believe its over already

Tonight's was very very boring

Wonder will we see Julie tomorrow

I shall be out tomorrow night, argh. Will have to try and avoid spoilers until I can get in and watch it.

Me too squoosh, I want her to win

Im just watching it now.

Tilapia???? Yuck. Its bloody awful and what we are supposed to eat in this part of the world instead of Hammour.

I'm increasingly pissed off that they keep letting Saliha get away with food fairly and squarely within her comfort zone. They need to give her an invention test where she's not allowed to use either spices or flowers and must cook within, say, the French tradition to see whether she really is a good all-round cook.

Saliha really is a pain in the backside.

Got to be Cockernee Steve for the winner. He's from my old manor, Woolwich, and appears to be a diamond geezer. Giovanna seems nice in a 'head girl' way and Saliha is just too try-hard and spice-centric.

I'm not going to watch it until I know who has won. Saliha winning would not be conducive to a happy Fri night vibe. Nothing against her personality, although I do prefer Steve and Giovanna, but she hasn't once stepped out of her comfort zone and I'm amazed she's still in it. She was also whiny and sexist during the BBQ.

Im glad someone else is as daft as me.

We've been seriously lacking in snacks this series so I'm off to the shops, I want brie with crackers and apple and I've two double deckers in the fridge and lots of crisps
