It’s the dawn of a new (ish) era: Sleb Masterchef is back

[Halsall]

This has crept up on me and no mistake! It starts tomorrow with Grace Dent in situ as new host with soon-to-depart JT. I haven’t heard of any of the slebs so that’s a great start.

With apologies to the (many) I've missed or who have name-changed - I tried names I knew but couldn’t post as some weren’t current and had to randomly remove, so please pass it on!

i’d want a third slice of lamb, but I’m a carnivore

They have, moved from Stratford in East London to Birmingham. The new venue seems to have a gallery, so they may be planning MC Australia style contestants in the gallery shenanagins

The dining room and kitchen at odds with Katie's starter

Why can’t they give them a little trolley so they all get their food at the same time, annoys me every time. Waves to all the fellow chuffians with boiler issues. I took the plunge this morning as my boiler is on its last gasp, can be coaxed into life with twiddling but I am pretty sure it was plotting to die over Christmas so I have arranged for it to have an assisted death in two weeks time.

Where is the linguine? It looks like a cow pat.

Why put parmesan on the overloaded and ricotta heavy bruschetta and not on the linguine?

I thought the linguine looked a bit rubbish and lost in the sauce

You dont put parmesan on seafood

Just realised I thought Costa said pillow rice earlier. Oops

I think Katy is out, I'd like Uma to go through but it's looking tight, if Anthony cocks up his souffles she may be OK

I hate that rice turned out of a bowl presentation. I don’t know who started it, but it now seems to be the norm.

Although I know this, I aways do, tbh. But I’m a heathen and I love parmesan.

Oh, didn't know that (I put parmesan on everything, given the chance).

I think Uma is out.

Jonty’s communist party jacket is quite a snug fit.

Good luck with the boiler @viques!

“I hope I have brought to the table fun and laughter.”

You have brought irritating mannerisms ,a laugh that could slice open an ear drum and an ego the size of the Sahara desert. But hey if you think that is your charm then you do you.

They weren't going to forgive that tuna.

And the moral is, don't present a dish that has no cooked element in a cookery competition

Shame. I’m not sure I can watch more Costa

Yea that tuna sunk her

Looks like we’ll have to put up with Anthony’s laugh a while longer 😞

Next week Chuffs. Have lovely weekends.

Night all, see you next week!

Until next week!

Football on Tuesday. See you later in the week.
