There have been some absolutely shocking regions this year. I wonder if it’s economic conditions forcing better chefs to stay in restaurants rather than taking time out for the show. It’s a real shame for people who have gone out with high scores and people are going through with 7s and 8s. The brief seems to have been a real challenge for people this year which is odd given it’s so wide ranging (and virtually every region seems to have a connection with The Wombles and/or Paddington).

Agree about the disparity between regions.

But often if someone can't make final week they bring in the highest scoring loser which sort of makes thing fair.

It's on tonight at 9. Just to confuse us all.

What?! Thanks for the heads up @jay55

I’m exhausted, might have to watch from bed and catch up another day if I accidentally nod off

I'm tired and I'm having to eat the chocolate I bought someone for Easter to get me through this.

This is going to be the battle of the mushrooms. Basically if it isn't mushroom it'll win

Hang on, Tom had to recuse himself from judging his strawberry blond employee in the heats. But is he judging him in the finals?

Another great dress on Andi, I love the colour, would never be brave enough myself.

It's making me want a Fry's Turkish Delight (which I also like). Actually make that three of them. They've gone very small these days.

This was my favourite book as a child

Big pile of brown. So appetising 🤮

Wolfcub · 27/03/2023 21:18

I wonder if this is why veggie/vegan food in so many restaurants is dull - because we can't imagine building a dish around anything other than a mushroom. Beige and more beige

Things you would find in a forest. Doggers. Just stick the mushrooms in some greenery with the stalks poking out.

Maybe he's allowed as there's so many chefs, so little chance of any favouritism? And possibly because after the first 4 or 5, all those mushrooms are going to taste the same.....

BiliousOhGod · 27/03/2023 21:21

Lol at Doggers. Maybe someone should try a tree with dog poo bags tied to it....

I feel bad for the guest judge getting the starter round.

Did he say oat yogurt or goat yogurt because one of those wouldn't be vegan

jay55 · 27/03/2023 21:28

This is the best starter. Purely for not being a pile of brown.

I think it's oat. Unless it's yogurt for goats.

I'm hoping Kulvinder is a vegan, or at least a vegetarian.
