The Restaurant - so who will get through to final ??

[MaryAnnSingletomb]

I can decide - I do like the twins, but Grant & Laura could do it (I can't think of their names without pronouncing them in the Raymond Blanc way - especially Jeremy and Jane !)

I mean I can't decide

Thak goodness there is someone else watching this!!

Think Grant and Laura are 'better' but (and I waill probably get torched for this) I wonder if the fact that Laura will be giving birth in 4 months will work against her, as that would probably tie in with the time they would open new restaurant.

Twins are lovely, but more of caf rather than restaurant material methinks.....

yes, agree about the twins. I have a feeling that Jeremy and Jane (cry baby) will win the final ! I really love this programme !

i went to school with Jess and Laura They went to Roedean don't you know, prob more used to eating in posh restaurants than working in one

I love this program,going out tonight so will miss the challenge.

I was hoping it would be between grant and laura and the twins.Thought Jeremy and Jane would have been ousted last night.

Can't bear Jeremy! Like the twins and Grant and Laura...

Twins don't have a hope imo, they are not sophisticated enough for Raymond and if she thought that that kitchen was clean??

The scot chef isn't good enough imo although they are the most attractive couple ie nicest and she is very personable.

The other couple will probably win imo.

Jeremy and Jane, and Jess and Laura have the benefit of both halves of the team being good. The other Laura is a bit let down by her husband as a chef.

I say Jeremy and Jane to win. Jess and Laura a bit flighty for Monsieur Blanc, I think.

Up until this week, I thought Jess and Laura for definite - their "brand concept" is a newly fashionable one and one that isn't already part of Raymond's restaurant empire. The cleanliness and ignoring Raymond weren't so great... then again they didn't get the pasting I thought they should have done (or that others would have done) in the debrief...

I think Jeremy and Jane should win on the basis that that's the restaurant I would want to go to but I just don't see why Raymond would add another fine dining type place to his portfolio when he already does that better himself.

I can't help wondering what Jane would do if she ever had a real crisis to deal with. Jeez - that woman gives wimps a bad name!

preggersagain - were you in the same year as the twins then ? were they as nice as they seem ?

they were in the year below and utterly intolerable very arty/dramatic etc, always took leads in school productions and came up with 'concept' performances which no-one really got!!! So they haven't changed a bit really!!

Oh and i like the way they make it sound like they always worked in restaurants as soon as they were 14- yup cos mummy and daddy own various desirable hotels/eatery's around the south downs!! their idea of work was propping up the bar

Really looking forward to tonight.

In a way I think the twins should win because they have been the most consistent.

Guessed they were drama queens when they can-can-ed around their restaurant

Love the twins but don't think they have enough to win - altho figures were no worse than Grant & Laura last night.

Jeremy and Jane - hmmm - he is so arrogant but had top idea with wine tasting other week.

Laura is top hostess - but as mentioned Grant not as good in kitchen.

Really don't know!!

The wine tasting was inspired.

preggersagain !

I want Grant and Laura to go through to the final

I agree that the marine {Jeremy} is sooooooooooooooo cocky and arrogent

I have a feeling that he put the twins through so that the other two will win. Or he could be looking at rolling out a chain of cheaper wholefood restaurants with them at the helm..................

I can't bear the twins and preggersagain has just made me feel justified in that (thanks!). They are the kind of girls who I would have hated at school, and the whole "brown and greens" concept: "oh, we went to university and had a few big nights out, and then the next day, always said 'we need good wholesome food, something brown and green...'" WTF? Clearly weren't at university with me where I clearly needed half a loaf of warburtons toast and a coke the next day.

I do think this is Jeremy and Jane's for the winning - they are financiably viable which is more than Jess and Laura are. I actually wanted Jacques Tamson to win, I thought that they were lovely, but really Grant was a rather amateur chef, Jeremy has more skill, although Jane is a nervous breakdown waiting to happen.

Can you tell DH and I love this programme???

Anyone else think it's a leetle beet strange that the two blonde, slim, well spoken hostesses are the ones who made it through to the final?
Even one of the guests commented on how twin Laura was polite and 'well spoken' which made me think that the other Laura maybe hadn't a chance (not the 'right' accent).
Wonder what the final challenge will be???

Waynetta - I was thinking just that too - pregnant Laura was lovely but perhaps too friendly/familiar and perhaps not quite 'posh' enough - plus as a twosome Jess and Laura are very telegenic... I think Jane and Jeremy will win it,but there will be copious tears from Jane along the way.

If a dirty kitchen and too salty/overcooked main course aren't enough to lose a place in the final then I'm not sure what is. Sadly I still think the twins will win.

god i love this programme and was so upset that Grant and Laura went our last night.
i would have loved to see how Jeremy and Jane would have managed at Raymonds restaurant as don't think they would have coped v well at all.

i suppose that means that unless a miracle happens it will be jeremy who wins.
