Masterchef the Professionals, #4: Me an' Actor heading straight through to the finals.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Who will go through to finals week? Will we have to find new favourites? What will they do instead of the Wanky Restaurant Holiday? All will be revealed.

Right decision, like Victor but he wasn’t the same level. So wish Luke was still in with Jono out. Unfortunately probably would have been Luke v Dave

Dave is lovely.

Go Philly! Only woman left. I hope she does well.

See you next week for a nail biter. Great company as always.

From the chefs that are in the final now, I don’t mind who wins as long as it’s not Jonno...

Ahh never mind

Til next time all

Poor Victor - he had a bad night, unfortunately.

No shame in going out at this standard.

Same here.

Which means that Jonno will walk it . . .

See you on Tuesday folk.

Till next week

Au resevoir . . .

Santos is my favourite! Can't stand Jono - arrogant tosser.

@Fgs1
Am I the only one who likes Greg and his unfailing enthusiasm?! blush
You are, though @ShirleyPhallus (when she's about) enjoys his legs.

Thanks for the @GrouchyKiwi, I am about but like 10 episodes behind and never remember when it’s on

Yes @fgs1, I’m a fan of Gregg, something rather charming about his oafishness. I stand by the fact he has good legs!

If there was any point to Gregggg being a judge, it was surely that he represented the regular diner-out, not the professional cutting-edge. So he ought to be saying ok, it looks great and I like it, but if I saw mushroom tiramisu or beef with sea slug or yet another ‘take’ on offal (sweetbreads I’m looking at you), on a menu, there’s not a chance in hell that I would order it and risk my hard-earned cash. Instead, he’s just a a Monicus/Marica echo. (Except, I notice this week, when he’s alone with the guest chef, when he seems to be telling them what their own culture’s food should be like!)

(Except, I notice this week, when he’s alone with the guest chef, when he seems to be telling them what their own culture’s food should be like!)

I notice that he's becoming even more cocky and up himself, and trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about and that he seems to be viewed with a mixture of irritation, pity and contempt but M&M and the guest chefs, and just irritation and contempt by most of the competitors.

The more I see of this, the more I'm convinced that the missing chef disappeared because he did or said something to Gregggg. It may not even have been much - Gregggggggggg might have gone all outright Diva - "He goes or I do" - and they have to pay GutBucket anyway because of his contract, so the chef had to go.

Speculation, obviously, but I like the thought of someone telling it like it is.

MasterChef final is dream come true for Nepal’s Santosh Shah www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55302025

Lovely article on Santosh on bbc site. He's become a celeb back home for making the finals. And is looking for a wife...

Well at least you’d be a well fed wife!
I couldn’t marry a man just for the food though...

Santosh was a hottie in 2008

Great article and my goodness, he really deserves success. He’s worked so hard and seems like a lovely chap.

I could!

When it's THAT food, I could!

(Thoughwhat's the odds that after a hard day in the kitchen he comes home and wants a toastie . . . )

I'd want a chef husband to bring home the imperfects they couldn't send out.

jay, jay, jay

What are these "imperfects" of which you speak?

Have you seen the standard of Santosh's dinners?

Place marking as I missed last week.
Missed my masterchuffets! See you soon.

Did the course go okay Pebbles? Hope you don't have a sore head from banging it on a desk/wall in frustration.

I’m going to have to catch up on iPlayer later as I’m watching real full monty on ice next!
