Great British menu season 17

[jay55]

BBC 2 8pm tonight (feb 1st) Tom Kerridge is one of the new judges.

Can't wait to see some soil and steam and shoehorned themes.

Why don’t they choose top 5 from each course

Why don’t they choose top 5 from each course

They did that once, maybe olympic year and some chefs threw tantrums when they weren't chosen to cook a course. Was so much fun.

Floella and fish, marvellous.

I bloody love Floella. I'd be fan girling so hard if I met her. She's been my hero since about 1974!

I'm relieved Adam didn't win the fish course, couldn't believe he was still complaining about catering for a shellfish allergy.

Yes, I'm not a fan of Adam.

To me Sally, Nathan, Chris and Spencer seem in another league to the others. There's definitely an imbalance this year.

Adam is awful. I love Nathan. Chris is amazing. I agree about Sally and Spencer too. I have to admit I do like Liv, she's so dry.

Alison Steadman is brilliant, she's really getting into the spirit of things. She's having fun.

Sam has a lovely attitude even though he's not had a great week so far, he just never stops smiling. I hope he gets at least one place higher tonight.

Really like Liv, think she’s a great character

Pleased Adam didn’t win the fish course, unfortunately he really let himself down throwing his teddies out of the pram. And get the feeling Andi isn’t a fan

I want each of them to get a course. They are great chefs and have lovely personalities to go with it.

They really do. Adam on the other hand seems quite unpleasant. He was fuming he didn't place higher for main. He could barely bring himself to speak to Sally when she came into the kitchen. Such a shame.

Well deserved. How do all the props work? Mostly a box, special plates or silly hat Fir Spencer’s - 2 banqueting areas or does everyone file out and they re-set with the candle sticks and different table clothes? Probably not a bad idea after two courses.

I liked the look of Nathan's Merlin starter and Spencer's main.

Must catch up with the fish course

Chris to get the dessert course? His sherry dessert looked and seemed to taste lovely, so hopefully he has a good chance.

Came on to read whether you were finding Adam horrible or if it was just me. So cross when he complains and fusses about catering for a serious food allergy. He seems to think he is better than everyone else and he really isn’t! Has a bad temper too.

Love Andi, she is my favourite part of the show. So pleased the Wales Merlin starter went through, all the other chefs are great, really good bunch. Particularly Spencer (Ritz) and the N Irish chef.

Evening.
I'm shamelessly hoping one of the women get the pud course.

Hello! Same here @jay55

Though Nathan is my fave, can't wait for him to be back judging wales next year

Spencer can’t possibly do 3 courses in a row can he?

The second group look quite defeated already.

OMG remember when Mars bars were massive. Now they're like fun size used to be 😂😂
Love vicar of Dibley.

I can’t remember what Nathan’s previous dessert was?

No idea.

That’s a shame for Sam

It really is between sherry and the cigar so far.
