Despite the fact that it seems like 5 minutes since the Professionals ended, the new (ordinary) MC starts on Tuesday at 9. Couldn’t see a thread but happy to merge if there’s another already.

Who's in?

Can you imagine if Anna moves her face like that when she talks to people in real life? I'd struggle to stop myself slapping her

The last 2 nights I have wished I could reach into the tv and slap her! She is so annoying with the face pulling. I actually find her more annoying than Greg!

Also what is with the silly little girl headband thing?

gingercat02 · 23/04/2026 09:22

We have only watched ep 1 so far. Anna's wide eyed gurning is getting to me already! Need to internalise it as I'm getting to DH already 😂
Some excited decent cooks in ep 1 (never remember names). Will catch up on series and thread soon.
This and finals week of GBM is too much!

Hmm yes, I think that’s fine if she’s going to a restaurant for dinner, but she’s one of three past contestants brought in specifically to taste and comment on the dishes this year’s victims contestants cook.

If I’d been busting a gut to get out two courses in an hour and 20, or however long they give them, I’d feel pretty pissed off that one of those three ostentatiously wouldn’t touch a large part of my dish - which anyway is a balance of all the ingredients. There are dozens of past contestants they could have chosen from so it seemed odd to pick her - to me, anyway.

Did Sophie describe herself as plant based rather than veggie? I’m sure I remember her saying that she cooked and ate veggie for herself but was ok with cooking and tasting meat dishes for others.

I’ve always assumed the previous contestants' comments are scripted for them - they never sound natural.

I’ve only dipped in and out in recent years as I loathe Greggggg and my loathing escalated after the unsurprising stories came out. I really like the new combo so far - not perfect but I can see it working well. Anna is very keen on butter isn’t she?

There were some very weird dishes this week (although kudos to anyone trying to create Cthulu for MC). Two contestants trying to thicken food with uncooked flour made me wonder about basic skills testing before the contest, but I guess anyone can have a brainfart on the day.

Jhane and Sabina can come and live in my kitchen cupboard.

Ive been wondering if anna has got small iris’ and thats why it looks starry

LaMarschallin · 23/04/2026 17:17

Also just caught up.
That was...interesting.
Luca's potato!?
I was actually beginning to wonder if they'd send at least two away, although I couldn't decide between Maddie and Cthulu-man.
Suspect Maddie's card is marked now for just not seeming bothered - they want people to say how much they want to win, not "Well, I got eight plates of food out, so...".

The poxy leaf tuille is in gbm right now 🤬

TheAutumnCrow · 23/04/2026 20:33

I’ve had a nap and 2 packets of pickled onion monster munch. Still knackered!

jay55 · 23/04/2026 21:04

Evening. I’ve missed yesterdays episode. And watched the first on catchup, missed you all.0
Ive so loved the female energy, not worrying that the older women are going to be constantly insulted has been so freeing.

RomainingCalm · 23/04/2026 21:05

The Masterchef Market aka Little Waitrose?
