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!

"It's giving day 3 at GLastonbury" - 25 minutes in and already Grace is funnier and more on point than the gurning greengrocer was all last year...

Lovely frock

Custard looks horrible. I’m just a bit bored so far. However I haven’t watched the celeb version for a long time

I've almost eaten an entire packet of Aldi Jaffa Cakes. I need the celebs to be more famous.

I’m LOLing at 'aqua-da-faba'

Jeez John. Fantastic cooks 😖

Who are these people , celebrities, haven’t heard of a one of them . Don’t like Grace don’t like the cooks , hugely disappointing, the only reason to keep watching is John but when he goes I’m done .

I am thinking of cracking open the box of Celebrations for the same reason.

Bring back Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr, Celia Imrie etc. really shows up the usual level of “celeb”

"Fantastic cooks" - heres a straw to grasp at, John...

@EsmaCannonball ive lost 7kg since the end of June, but MC makes me want to snack too so I’m trying to be good!

So now they're just fecking eating food? I can eat food!

The vegan is going to struggle

Tbh the whole point of watching this is the comments from you Chuffians. The actual show is kind of irrelevant.

It is

You can sing it to the tune of La Cucaracha.

They’re now channelling MC Oz

Oh that’s going to be stuck in my head now!

They are tasting cucumbers and oranges fffs

I love when they do these taste tests on Hell’s Kitchen and all the chefs can’t identify carrots.
I do think it’s tougher for celebs who might have killed their tastebuds with a substance or 5.

Crikey, this is scintillating tv.

Yay! Costa can identify an orange! Gripping tv, there...

I'm watching celebrities I've never heard of identify vegetables by taste. What have I done with my life?

This is a shit round.

How do you confuse pineapple with melon?
