A teaspoon of unicorn jus within a perimeter of leek. Masterchef The Professionals: The Final 4

[OComeHalsallYeFaithful]

Thanks to Schaden and Shirley for title inspiration.

Just had an additional for cheap flights to Japan roll up. George Orwell must be rolling in his Room 101 themed grave. Haha.

That is a bit spooky Pencil.

Always read these wonderful pages the morning after the programme and they have me howling with laughter. I have rarely posted but after last night I felt I must.

Like many others I was incensed by the manner of Matthews' departure only minutes into the programme. The lad hadn't put a foot wrong in any round of the competition, was universally congratulated by top chefs on every course he produced for them, never been in a cook off and then saves Laurences' arse by leaving his own course to help him get his food on the Chefs table. Usually time is of the essence, isnt that why we have the speaking clock? I think Larry should have gone at that point but Sat Bains is probably a friend of Marcus so that wouldn't do. Obviously all that Matthew had done counted for nothing.

Deans' had been the weakest course in the Chefs table round and then he had some criticism last night but Matthew was the one to go. Madness. I just turned off at that point as it totally ruined the whole thing for me. When he cried I was close to crying too. over invested moi? oui chef!

Apparently Twitter erupted last night as people were so angry and Marcus has had to defend the programme saying it's not a fix. If it isn't then they need to look again at the format, perhaps have some kind of points system and only have rounds which count for something as clearly anything done outside the MC kitchen counts for nothing.

Not sure I can bear to watch it tonight but whether I do or not I'll be rooting for Oli but expect it will be Larry. They are all incredibly talented but in my view the programme will be poorer due to the absence of the brilliant Matthew.

Schady I am loving your work from this morn!

This is juicy. Chucky has searched all negative comments for himself and replied to each of them: mobile.twitter.com/banks_chef/with_replies

Like Fussychica I read this thread after watching the programme and really enjoy it. So annoyed at the manner of Mathew's departure, he is a brilliant chef and I thought he should win. Marcus has a real mean streak, in my view Mathew's fate was sealed when the other big name chefs called him "gifted".

I might miss this evening.
I've decided Matthew went at the right time, he gets the jump on the other three on jobs, would have left just after wowing all the big names, before they forget him.

brief respite from swearing as practises being "nice" in case Santa's watching

I’ve been saving myself for this evening’s final, I have an arsenal of swear words primed and ready...

I’m going to miss this evening. Ds has a thing

Another who reads this thread the morning after.

Like everyone else I think that Matthew's departure was farcical. It is ridiculous that his stellar performance throughout the whole competition counted for nothing because of one week dish, while Dean got through when he was bloody lucky to have got that far at all, after several dodgy dishes.

If Dean ends up winning, I don't think I would watch it again next year. DS pointed out that he looks like a white Kim Jong Un.

Bloody hell!

He's put some effort into that hasn't he?

Sorry - that was to HSirley

As you were.

or to Shirley, if HSirley isn't online

DS pointed out that he looks like a white Kim Jong Un.

But without the good hairstyle . . .

I can’t see deans twitter - is the link still working?

I’ve just used Aldi’s Coconut and Shea butter shower cream, followed by Palmer’s Cocoa Butter formula moisturiser. I smell good enough to eat. And I’ve left a perimeter in the bath.

I was gutted at the loss of Matthew, but his dish yesterday was the worst by a country mile. He had to go.

fleas

Are we all ready?

Have just made it, phew!

Here we go....

Evening all. I'm primed and ready with Kiwi dip, a glass of white, and lolly cake for later. My sister's here so we're kicking it NZ style.

I don't care who wins tonight.

What ho Mastercheffians!
