I wonder did they pick the courses out of a hat or were they chosen for them

I reckon Monica and Marcus choose - like when they put mark on deserts

i just have a feeling Caroline will go tonight - just the way it’s been edited to make us think she is always just out of time and elevated bloody Gareth - he better not win!

PotterHead1985 · 23/03/2026 21:14

Mons face regarding the pickled green Toms!!!

Eek, peeling tomatoes too

I hate that job.
Can never get my fingernails de-oranged for ages afterwards.

Must admit I had that same thought re the flowers.

Defo looked fake to me

LaMarschallin · 23/03/2026 21:15

Poor tiny Caroline!

burblish · 23/03/2026 21:15

I think I'd rather destone all those cherries than peel all those tomatoes. Not much in it, though!

littlbrowndog · 23/03/2026 21:16

She needs a step

ilovesooty · 23/03/2026 21:16

Couldn't they have given her an oven she could reach?

Sunbird24 · 23/03/2026 21:16

That oven shelf looked to be on the wonk…
Sloped tart ahoy?

ShamedBySiri · 23/03/2026 21:16

Caroline won’t be able to check the tart unless she finds a step ladder. The timing better be spot on.

EsmaCannonball · 23/03/2026 21:16

If this were a BBC period drama the downtrodden Victorian governess and the big Irish gamekeeper would have fallen in love when he placed her custard tarts in the oven for her.

Sunbird24 · 23/03/2026 21:17

Gah, John again!

Uglydumpling · 23/03/2026 21:17

It’s all very heavy courses

Heavy on the red meat

with the lobsters I suddenly remembered hearing about them being cooked live and then squeaking when they go in the pot - I’m really upset now 🦞

One of the things that really bugs me about MC is the fake jeopardy from the presenters - it used to be Jonty, now it's Marcus - "He's got to get the pressure cooking right" "You have to keep stirring the onions" - as if the chefs don't know.

Fransgran · 23/03/2026 21:17

I had a wee cherry stoner like Caroline's that I lost somewhere when we moved back from America. Now I'm brooding about that too

littlbrowndog · 23/03/2026 21:17

Not Jon again

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 23/03/2026 21:17

They should give them a commis to do the peeling and stoning.
Ffs, catweazles there.

I think it’s for us it’s it 🤔

TheDogsMother · 23/03/2026 21:18

Pressure cookers scare me.

Hrishikesh Desai. I still get annoyed that he never even got to finals' week when he did the GBM.

I thought that. When the camera kept panning back I was like is the whole shelf wobbling

Uglydumpling · 23/03/2026 21:18

They defo like to highlight potential disasters

like Gareth is now going to fuck up!

ilovesooty · 23/03/2026 21:18

You've got quite a lot to do.

No shit Marcus.

And the ultimate - 'it has to be cooked all the way through'

NO, REALLY????
