New thread.

Did someone (Andi?) say "for the first time" in the trailer for tonight?

LaMarschallin · 16/03/2023 08:40

Yup.
Lots of speculation about it on this thread.
I wonder if it's a complete tie.
I remember there was a tie in the dessert course when Spencer and someone else both got 40 and Andi had to make the final choice, but I'm not sure that there's been an overall tie.
As has been mentioned, I don't know what happens if one has won the canape and the other has won the pre-dessert, so they couldn't be used to resolve the problem.
Maybe Andi would have to adjudicate again?
Mere speculation on my part, though.

There's better be a bit of drama tonight. A tie-break just isn't going to cut it. I can't quite remember but I thought there had been a tie-break before.

I remember them having a tie and sending two chefs through from London before.

I hope there is proper drama. I can't see how there would be a tie. Kerry was so slow and had so many issues.

Wolfcub · 16/03/2023 20:04

Christ if they put both through and not the amazing chefs who were so close earlier thats would be disappointing

They couldn’t possibly put both through…

BiliousOhGod · 16/03/2023 20:09

Ahhhhhh - could it be that they've never had the inspiration for a dish judging before?

Ooh, I like the idea of pickled onion dust.

Can't imagine adding raw mushroom ever improved a dish.

StandardLampski · 16/03/2023 20:15

Wonder if someone doesn't manage to get a course out?

littlbrowndog · 16/03/2023 20:16

Both doing better today

littlbrowndog · 16/03/2023 20:17

Spoke to soon

Sunbird24 · 16/03/2023 20:17

Just about to say that!

jay55 · 16/03/2023 20:19

Can they please call thugs what they are. Vegan egg whites are clearly nothing of the sort.
Like flipping cashew paste isn't cheese.

I'm grumpy on this as it's flipping annoying trying to avoid allergy products when they're not given sensible names.

Things not thugs

Still lacking in presentation.

Still no link to the brief

jay55 · 16/03/2023 20:21

Maybe it will be the first zero from the judging table

UrsulaPandress · 16/03/2023 20:21

I’m cringing for them.

daisydot22 · 16/03/2023 20:22

This is woeful

BiliousOhGod · 16/03/2023 20:24

It's a pity they couldn't swap the canapé and starters.....

UrsulaPandress · 16/03/2023 20:25

Why are they eating it with a spoon?

Wolfcub · 16/03/2023 20:28

I hate brown butter
