MASTERCHEF is back on 7th Jan - yay !!!

[MaryAnnSingleton]

can't wait...it doesn't get much tougher than this !

Love the show but I watch with a sense of horror.

I would absolutely detest doing what they do...can't imagine anything worse than cooking under pressure...my worst nightmare.

I really wish i could go to these fab restaurants though,the meals look so yummy.

I take back what I said a few posts back. at least for tonight's episode where all 3 were crackingly good !

Hooray for Emily and Sheridan !!

what were sarah and lois thinking with their dishes? nice test to set. interesting.

Johnny and Sheridan are clearly just there to make the numbers up.

Shame Lois went out. I quite fancied her... I'm aware this is probably a bit odd. John Torode is deeply in lurve with Emily. Greg is anyone's for a pud.

"John Torode is deeply in lurve with Emily"

Yes I thought that too when he said she was the most amazing person he'd ever met
Keep clear of him, Emily - he may be older than you and powerful but you can do so much better!

Torode contemplates another forkfull

LOL!

James is going to win, isn't he?

I think he'll win at a canter. The other two are sadly not quite up to it (love Sheridan's wobbly bottom lip when she's being judged though ) and Emily will balls something up in the final, and although she is clearly a culinary genius (nothing to do with her being 18 and pretty, eh guys?) James seems the finished article.

mm, you're probably right there -
love that picture of John 'the tongue' Torode !

It was so annoying yesterday when they kept going on about how the contest is still open at that stage and any one of the 4 could win.

Not so keen on Jonny...think he'll be out next

God, yes at The Tongue lusting after Emily I'm finding Emily very annoying though, all that gurning and simpering

Jonny's a bit sweaty and needs to tighten his glasses. Think barrister boy (my dad will buy me a restuarant) will win.

I like Sheridan a lot, she's like a little bear

I liked Lois, but she became a bit manic in the end, didn't she ... too desperate.

Johnny is a single Dad - UP JOHNNY !

Emily pretty ? She looks like she's 12 ffs! She hasn't even discovered matt foundation yet!

Sheridan, don't know what to make of her really.

And yes, James will probably win. But he deserves to. He's a cut above.

yes, Lois put me off her when she got a bit ott when either Gregg or John loved something she'd made... I liked Sarah a lot too

voice over woman drives me mad with the constant recaps, as if we have the attention span of a goldfish...

well i'm 38+4 and DO have the attn span of a goldfish , without her I'd be sitting there going 'huh' at cheese on toast i think...

enjoyed the way everyone wobbled yesterday. feels a bit more even keeled as a comp, sure that is just good editing, can't imagine barrister not winning.

Oh great a chance to namedrop

John Torode is a client of DH's and he's coming round for dinner a bit later on this year! So that's hours and hours of fun trying to come up with something understated and divine that doesn't look like I 'm showing off.

And I won't tell him about the cruel picture link, DaDaDa.

wow ! what will you cook ? will you be transfixed by his tongue ?!

John Torode is coming for dinner and you sound happy about it?

I'd love Gregg to come as I'd make my very best puddings !

Are you in Oz shamelessnamedropper?

Shamelessnamedropper, I am now struck with remorse for my cruel and inaccurate picture of your close personal friend.

Here is a recent picture of John and Gregg, overcome with excitement at James' kumquat and foie gras cassoulet, to redress the balance.

ROFL!
