Masterchef: The Professionals

the starter needed some juice. Michel didnt like the bitterness of the mains sauce and thought it was too garlicky - Greg said 'but thats whats good about it!'

his final meal basically. he didn't nail it by any stretch, the only one who got real criticism. Michel was - as noted above - visibly angry with him.

Because he knew he should have walked it. he let himself down badly, trying too hard to be neat and pretty.

What did Adam screw up?

All negatives were from Michel's POV: 1st course - No jelly on his ham hock terrine, 2nd course - too much garlic on his lobster and sauce too bitter, 3rd course - his cake was too heavy

I think Michel was annoyed with himself, because Adam's inexperience really showed and maybe he blamed himself for pushing Adam to a point he wasn't ready for.

Yep, quite possibly. It's been obvious that Michel (and Monica) have expected Adam to win for ages. But he still had to earn it. Second-best chef won the tournie, basically. Did a Greece in the Euros...

I disagree. Adam has all the skills - he's been cheffing as long as Steven (the only one who wasnt a head chef??). but he went for 'total refinement' instead of his usual - 'fucking great food'

Monica did say, Michel is hardest on people he sees the most talent in and he said that stuff about his Dad being hard on him.
 
Something else: IMO Adam was so far ahead of most of the rest that he didn't 'grow' in the competition until he went to Italy. He also has real problems being outside his comfort / control zone. There's more to being a top chef than just great cooking.
 
i enjoyed he got so cross at being asked to be emotional he got all emotional and made that angry desert, and the Italian guy loved it

absolutely! way better than the others' childhood (false) memory. And when he came back you could see he'd really got it. bloody Steven just copied the 'throw stuff onto the plate' part, whereas Adam actually thought the whole thing through and made a coherent meal with a story. Stevens just had a stupidly long name

Yep. Agree with this. Steven was nice but limited. Adam really should have walked the final, and everyone knows it.
 
new series tonight

No Michel, he is off spending time with potatoes :( but Marcus 'look at my fucking tasting spoon' Wareing is in instead.

lets hope he doesn't make anyone do a Johnny Mountain.
 
mm, Wareing appears to be a truly horrible man, and I assume no Michel means no Monica either :(
 
i think they toned wareing down in the last series , and i did wonder if they were grooming him to be the new Michel, surely he cant be a cunt to everyone all the time ?
