Masterchef: The Professionals

Sven and Brian were pretty good, the others less so. How come the judges can help out the contestants?
 
I know they like Danny, but that was a poor, poor call to put him through at the other chap's expense. That deep-fried egg & pickled mushrooms dish is a bog-standard 'will this do?' veggie starter you'd chuck at the commis, & when he tipped that boiling pickling liquor over his mackerel I genuinely shouted "what the FUCK mate?!?" at the tv. Such a rookie mistake, he's really showing his inexperience at this stage.

Sven's a machine though, was well impressed by that lamb dish. Really like Jamie too. Between those two I think, with Brian in third.
 
Not svens day today, but not the worst.
jamies a star.


The one to go today, should be



Slaphead...whats he for, he adds nil. Worse he detracts.
 
Liked that restaurant. Clever without being silly.

Really don't know who'll win. Thought Sven was a shoe-in but reckon it'll be Jamie now.
 
Loved that chef! Actually thought his food looked exciting and interesting without being poncey - the edible stones for example.

Totally made the programme enjoyable again having someone engaging instead of just them cooking someone elses food to someone elses specifications.

I want Brian to win (for no real reason).
 
One thing I picked up on with comments on the beef, re the cheese marinade: I'm sure they said "If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know it was there." ie, they couldn't taste it! hmmm, back in the MC kitchen, they'd be berating the chef - 'where's the cheese flavour, not getting it', Marcus and Monica would be asking.
 
I reaslised last night that the bit of tomato with a dollop of caviar was the healthiest thing, I think, on the entire series.
Vegetarian, sadly, certainly doesn't get a look in and a large number of dishes are full of salt, sugar, butter, cream Etc.
Isn't it time they tried to be a little healthier and/or less fattening?

That's a point, I suppose, but you wouldn't eat this kind of food regularly (probably couldn't afford to!) so not much harm done.
