Masterchef: Semi Finals Week

[Pebbledashery]

In preparation for tonight!

Ooh Pookie !

Well done pookie

£25-worth of lobster in each one?? 🤦‍♀️

My very fucking rich mate was out for dinner at a restaurant in Oz where GR was guest cheffing/doing a tv show. The maitre’d came over and said would you like to meet Mr Ramsey? He said “no thanks”.
Jonty’s hair is going weird again.

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant

🤣🤣🤣

Jeez toren skin. 🤷‍♀️

In reflection it’s probably best that Thomas didn’t make it through to this round.

Where’s the moose in it

ON reflection, bah

Oh look, all these amazing cheffy people who are kneeling at the Temple of GR, let them beat their breasts and prostrate themselves before the heavenly shouty one who has taught them all they know, plus an old French dude who knows how to rock a scarf.

why can’t they allow them longer to prep, they aren’t professionals. I didn’t like Ramsey before this, he has not won me over.

I agree the format has become a bit tired. Personally I think it wouldn’t hurt to have a complete shake up, including getting some new presenters in. John & Gregg have been doing it for years and years and years. I’ve never been a fan of Gregg, who always seems inexplicably pleased with himself, and while I don’t mind John he seems bored to death with it all.
Eddie’s my favourite for this series I think. He seems to be having fun and he seems quite affable, plus I love the look of his food. Pookie’s quirkiness has got a bit irritating, ditto Radha’s “I’m so young/I’ve never cooked this before” shtick.

If I wanted to watch Hell's Kitchen, I would. This is boring.

These guest chefs are so kind. I like them.

It’s such bollox. When it comes down to it, it’s GR ™️ Food. He’s coached, lead them through it and no way he’s sending something out sub par.

It’s a boring watch. Tbh. Yep agree need new presenters and a different format

I bloody hate the emphasis on the perfect shape of ice cream. FUCK OFF.

Or “Jocasta, you need to master that pasta faster or it will be a disaster”

Like, I dunno, a panel of mumsnetters, lots of wine and after the watershed.

That would be awesome

‘It’s not very refined'

Gawd.

Like, I dunno, a panel of mumsnetters, lots of wine and after the watershed.

Where do I apply?

I also don’t understand why Ramsey is suddenly on Masterchef after all these years. He’s always given the impression he thought this sort of thing was beneath him.
I guess it must be to do with the fact he’s got a BBC show to promote?
(Which I saw last week and it was a shameless rip-off of the Apprentice with all some pointless macho theatrics thrown in - pure Ramsey ego-trip).

I think I'd have been just as happy with a tart from the bakery with some ice cream from tesco

Gordon you are a wanker
