Masterchef: The Professionals

Surprised Patricia stayed after the scraps test tbh. Her main looked lovely though.

Patricia? Her name is Luciana you mad man.

Charles Campion looks like Peter Griffin do well.

Interesting difference between the judges and the critics about Dani. I don't think I would have eaten that salmon either. He was lucky to go through.

It looked raw to me. He is an interesting cook though I think he deserves another shot at it. High standard this year I'm liking it so far!

So it is . Agreed about campion.

So it is . Agreed about campion.

There was once, briefly, a pic of Griffin on his Wiki page and some mention of missing family pets....

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It looked raw to me.

You can eat salmon raw, though.

I've never had 45 degree salmon, but I'd eat it.

High standard today. The gap-tooth guy (Ben?) - potential winner, I think. Even when he thinks he's fucked up, it's still great. And he cooked an unusual, cheap cut! And turnips. Pig with pig food. That's how you win.

Very good standard this week. Interesting to see the difference of opinion between the judges on Dani - he's Kenny Atkinson's guy up in Newcastle, cooks well but I suspect he may well run out of dishes in a few tests time.
Luciana was very borderline this episode, but the judges clearly liked her & wanted to see her & the Brazilian theme progress further (fair enough, it's still pretty unusual over here).
Very impressed by the other two. Precise & modern (a bit robotic, maybe, but still).

Salsifeeee made me giggle too, but each to their own.

Still laughing at the 'just say YES CHEF!' tattoo on thingy's arm. One to show the grandchildren...

Btw my Masterchef 'twat theory' still holds: if the production team think you're a twat, they make damn sure they film you in your kitchen with incriminating evidence in the background - i.e. Tobi, yesterday, with a large Bisto tub on the work surface as he plated up. Every single time...

 

[wiskey]

I think his name is ?Scott ... I really can't place his accent

 

[wiskey]

Charles Campion looks like Peter Griffin

heh yup

 

[Orang Utan]

Wareing really despises Wallace doesn't he?

 

[wiskey]

However for all that everyone was saying Wareing wasn't very nice I think he's come across as engaging and friendly.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's all fake I reckon. He's just been media trained.

 

[Mr Retro]

What's the point of Greg expect to confirm the cliche of the British and their teeth?

 

[wiskey]

Shame about Katherine

 

[The Boy]

It's all fake I reckon. He's just been media trained.

Yeah, if you look into his eyes you can see him thinking to himself "don't let the fucking mask slip, you cunt."

 

[The Boy]

How many we losing here, BTW? All four have done well and I'll miss whoever goes.

 

[Quartz]

I disagree with putting Luciana through: sure she can cook Brazilian food but she doesn't have the range the others have.

 

[The Boy]

Ha! I'd tipped Ben as a possible winner last week.

 

[InfoBurner]

Don't like this head to head thing, tastes like a rigged game.

 

[Santino]

Don't like this head to head thing, tastes like a rigged game.

And it's incredibly boring.

 

[BandWagon]

Shame Richard went out. If he'd been drawn against one of the others he might have won.

 

[N_igma]

What's going on here? Surely they should be pitting the strongest against the weakest so the strongest have the best chance of getting through. No point putting two of the best against each other in the semis it's ridiculous.

Anyway Jamie's two dishes looked divine and were better than Richard's so no complaints here.

 

[neonwilderness]

The judges need to be a bit more bitchy too. Having them say everything is great is boring

Yes, it gets a bit tiresome.

 

[The Boy]

Don't like this format. Could barely maintain interest tonight as I knew from the off that Sven was going through.

 

[BandWagon]

Thought the old French guy was great. 'If it isn't like that, I kill you.'

I thought Sven deserved it.

 

[wiskey]

I realise I tuned out so completely that I had to rewind to see who won.. Dull

Proper cooking, with a proper amount of sauce.

The plates with droplets of gravy on them are a constant irritation. French bloke put lots on.

Sous vide = boil in the bag to a normal person.

Ah. I've been parsing that as one word, souveed. From the verb, to souvee.
