Masterchef The Professionals, Thread 2: No bone marrow here, chef.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Quickly whacking this up.

It’s weird, I thought all the chefs looked really uncomfortable last night. I am unsure if it was just what they were like, or if the missing chef was maybe making every one uncomfortable...

Just checked end of last weeks episode, the missing one is not walking down the street with them. No sign at all. I even checked for a bit of a shadow. Nothing.

I thought so, too. Uncomfortable chefs, unhappy Marcus, over-acting hammy Gregg, Monica being a trooper - like they'd all just been through some sort of trauma.

I have a friend who's a prof chef. He says that danish place - best restaurant in the world or something - where Jonno "worked" also graciously allows chefs to pay them to work there. Interestingly, for six months. Which is as long as Jonno "worked" there.

I reckon the missing person was very bad and threatened legal action, saying the comments were overly malicious/derogatory and would end their career if shown. Potentially even kicked off during filming. And the bbc didn’t wish ti be dragged into a potential court case, on whether the judges were too harsh or not.

Either way, that wasn’t a happy kitchen last night. Other than gregg who was trying to put a positive spin on it ,,,and failing miserably. 😂

Yes, the atmosphere was very brittle, with Gregg over-compensating wildly.

The early glimpse of the Missing Chef's right side show it was a male, who at least started the skills test.

Whereabouts is the early glimpse of the missing chef?

Maybe it was Borat 😬

I found it in the Mail Online article

Pleased to find that DH and I aren't the only ones speculating like mad over the missing fourth contestant. MN has been more informative than anywhere else so far (and funnier)

I have to say, I wasn't aware that stenaline was noted for its culinary innovation.

But the person cooking next to Scott must have got through the invention test. I thought that was biskweet man myself.

I checked my recording from last Thursday too. Only the three we saw last night are shown at the end

Dammit!

I want some beezkweets now and I am fat enough already.

So did they call the other three back to redo the end?

More likely the greedy sod is so busy stuffing his face he hasn't even noticed.

The DM suggestions include "He made a real mess of the technical (crepes suzette) challenge".

Unless he threw an entire bag of unpeeled navel oranges into a pan of molten sugar before adding runny, eggless, batter, he can't have been any worse than Scott, who did complete () the task.

I have to know. I NEED to know.

Please, there has to be SOMEONE out there who knows - for the love of all that is holy!!

I wonder if mystery man did his technical challenge first and that threw Scott completely, because Scott really wasn't up to Masterchef standard from what we saw.

I have just read that it was possibly health related. Perhaps a contestant was taken seriously ill during filming, like a heart attack for instance. It is very stressful. They did all look a bit shell shocked too.

I agree Reedwarbler - they looked very shaken.

is it not just more likely that they developed covid symptoms?

If they developed covid symptoms then wouldn’t everyone else in that kitchen have to self isolate, causing the whole series to be canned rather than just their appearance in it?

is it not just more likely that they developed covid symptoms?

I don't think that'd lead to them being edited out. A major medical emergency might though.

That would be very sad if so (illness).
