    Oh, I LOVE it as well. I googled the winner so know who wins (I have no patience). I like the judges as well and normally in the British shows I can't stand the judges.

    I'm watching season one on RTE :P Think I'll try and catch season 3 online over the summer if I can!

    But ya, I don't want to ruin the ending of season 1 for myself so I'm trying to prevent myself from googling the winner (such a long wait!).
    Go André :P

    I caved in and googled it during the week :o

    Not giving away the winner but using tags anyway here just in case my reaction gives it away
    I was very surprised by who won

    Amazing the production that goes into it compared to the other versions, like an episode every day when it's shown in Oz. Major money spent on it from the looks of it. Is season 3 the same ?? The Irish version isn't even on yet and already I have a feeling it will be a disappointment after seeing the Australian one, even though I preferred the presenters on the UK one.

    Anyone but Sam

    God I hate him , he even has the worst "thing" in the intro and he thinks he's bad ass for growing that fail of a beard. It's hilarious that they still show all of the contestants in that bit at the start (Katy Perry wrote the song by the way :) ) , every time i see it i'm like who the hell was that ? were they in it ? :D

    I'm guessing he doesn't win so :P haha! Hmmmmm.. Andre seems unlikely too :D Really want him to win! Julie wrecks my head too. Gah! But the judges lovvvvve her. We'll see.

    And I know. I only really started watching it when yer man Josh left. So I'm just like "eh ya... who are you?" :pac:

    Same!
    I wanted Po to win but I thought it was going to be Chris
    I've been watching it way too much these days, that dessert today looked so hard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    The panacotta?
    It looked so hard!
    When it was between Andre and Sam today, I was nearly sweating. But yay, Go Andre
    :D He's so cute, aaaahh. it wouldn't be the same without him tbh.

    Put it in spoilers, just incase. Although I probably don't need to for the mostpart but whatever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    These shows a really not good for my mental health , I'm off all things yummy after a recent cholesterol check.

    Watching today's desert on RTE was pure torture while eating my "lovely" rice cakes :(

    Sam getting the boot made up for it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I've split the RTÉ Season 1 discussion away from the the Aussie Season 3 thread.

    Thanks Mr.E

    I'm wondering will RTé keep running with this over the summer and show season 2 aswell? I hope they do.

    About time too!! Loving the series - didnt read all the thread in case I got a clue who won - Ive been watching since it started and dont want to ruin it. What am I going to do with my afternoons when it finishes!!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    NO, NOT ANDRE!! :( literally sped home after my chemistry exam to just catch the end where he got the boot :'(

    Watch are showing season 2 right now early in the morning (6am or thereabouts), but not sure how far they're into it.

    Chris was so smug about it too, ugh.

    Terrible considering the muck Chris served up to the vip guests at the dinner party :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    I hate chris :mad: Think it's between the 3 girls to win. Not sure about lucas and julia (is that her name?). If I were to place a bet, i'd say poh will win it. But seriously, how am I supposed to continue watching without andre :pac:
    it's a conspiracy I tell you!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    I love Poh <3 It's weird, that Lucas guy hasn't been in it for ages and he hasn't done any of the tasks but he's in the final


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Oh yeah, I forgot there was all the ones that beat the pro chef to come back for the final week. They really should have been there all alone and just been immune from elimination I thought.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Yeah that wasn't the best idea. They change that from season 2 onwards. When you win against the pro-chef now, you get an immunity pin that you can use to bypass one single immunity challenge. Makes much more sense.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Wow the rubbish they produced for $10 was unreal for finals week, except Po's which looked lovely. Justine cooking an omelette :D I could feed myself for 3 days on a 10er and a chef I ain't :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,165 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    Fed up with the Masterclass episodes now - just get on with the competition!

    Yeah, I tend to skip the Masterclasses myself.

    No excitement in them! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    Ok so julia is reeeally good. Better than I thought she'd be :P
    it really wasn't the same without andre (i'll stop whining about him going now but still :( ).
    Poh to win!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,201 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Girlfriend was watching this when I arrived home from work..

    .. must have gotten it directly from Watch as they have the uber dodgy music ("Turn the heat up.. baby we're on fire.. so COME ON!") over the intro / closing titles.

    For those who don't know.. Katy Perry's "Hot And Cold" is the theme music used in Oz but there's issues in getting the rights for it internationally.

    Oh, I was going to mention how cheesy the theme music is compared to the English one :o The intro with all the contestants doing the 'Oh, I see you've caught me icing cupcakes/dropping a red substance into a bowl while looking sinister' thing is pretty cringey anyway...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,293 ✭✭✭Dinkie


    Seemingly Chris and Julia (chick with eyebrows) are now an item. They were the challenger on Oz ironchef. Don't know how they got on though.

    I really like the masterclasses. I often learn something although they can be a bit ridiculous at times. The koftas and stuffed squid are fab and always a hit.

    He must be twice her age :eek: She'd be even too young for me and Chris has over 10 years on me :D

    Beautiful girl though, either the others are midgets or she is super tall, guess with Chris wears the hat to compensate for the difference in height I guess :pac:

    Just started watching season 3 online and I was so sad to see the cringey music gone :o
    I loved singing along to it :pac: Hot and cold just doesnt feel right!

    Where can you watch season 3 online


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    I'm fairly sure the judges will never get rid of julie coz they love her too much. Wreckin my head at this stage :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    She's really not that good. Gah.

    ya she didnt do amazingly today I must say.
    I thought Julia was really good but oohh well.

    Also I found Andre's twitter. He has his own polenta bar or something now. n'aaaaaaawww.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    I thought Julie was the weakest the whole way through the series compared to say Chris or Justine and Po and also some of the others gone too , but maybe that was just her pessimistic view on everything she cooks and the tears.

    She does get good feedback, they made it look today like she was out for sure but they loved her savoury pie, as did I yum :)
    But Po was on another level altogether much as I wanted her to fail after picking the theme.

    For the people with Sky, Season 2 is on Watch now and they've just finished picking the top 24 (so the 'real' show is starting now)

    It's on twice a day early morning and early evening (same episodes), so just set series link. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    AH here, where is the 2nd episode today . Murder she feckin' wrote is on now with yer wan from the tv3 news :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 452 ✭✭Jimmyboss


    Next episode is a 90 min special, so RTE couldn't fit 2 eps in 1 day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone


    I've really enjoyed this series so far. Hopefully RTE will show the next series as well.

    Is the final not tomorrow??? I thought they were losing one today and then final tomorrow?

    Weird not having Justine on it. She was fairly average for a long while and then all of a sudden just came into her own.

    Not keen on Chris at all. he can look so sly at times and if he doesn't win challenges he is really hard on himself :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    Julie :mad:
    I don't even like Chris, but Julie was completely disorganised, she didn't even finish and she basically did a roast and her lack of presentation is fine because it's 'home-style', but she starts crying and going on about her blank last chapter and the judges treat her like a puppy. Ugh. Poh ftw

    I know!! it's soooo ridiculous. She has been so disorganised and has made a mess out of alot of the challenges she's been presented with yet the judges just won't give her the boot!!
    If she wins it'll be a total injustice. Poh is such a better cook anyways.


    Wow, why do I get worked up over this? :pac: But still, Julie.. grrrrrrr...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    I love homestyle cooking so I have liked most of Julie's dishes. And I did really like her book idea!

    I know she didn't technically finish, but if she had another 10seconds she would have :D

    Poh always looks petrified when the judges try her food. She should be so confident as it is very rare for her to hand over a bad dish to the judges.

    No loss with Chris... he can go and take his pig heads and beer with him...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone


    Was pleasantly surprised with that, glad its them two in the final. Complete contrasts in style and both a pretty passionate about what they are doing.

    I think Julies idea for the book was what pushed her ahead. This challenge wasn't just about the food, but the whole package.

    Not sure who I want to win if I'm honest, but glad its down to those two.

    In fairness the show is called Masterchef not master has potentially got the best selling cookbook of the 3. I was seriously annoyed by that, Julie clearly got through based on the cook book idea. She was over all the weakest of the 3 by a running mile :(

    If i was one of the last 6 or so I'd feel really cheated seeing her in the final after the none finishing of her dishes.

    It's a serious matter :mad::P

    But yeah, you'd understand them leaving her off if it was the first time it happened but she's always doddering around making a mess of things. Gary loves her though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,165 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    Flippin masterclass today - for crying out loud just go to the last episode!!
    Julie - sheesh!!! All well and good having a good idea for your book but not much use if you cant actually provide the grub!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone


    Well Julie can cook, he time management is crap though, and she cracks when something goes wrong. Makes for good tv when it happens.

    As for the others being pissed off she is the final, I'd be more pissed off the fact Poh is still there considering she was eliminated before :p

    I like the two finalists though, and glad to see them there. Chris seemed to coast for the last few rounds, or maybe he had nothing "new" left.

    One thing though, all though it shares the name with the British version, the two shows are miles apart.

    Hang on, Poh was eliminated and then brought back so if anyone had any right to be pissed off I would have said Julie and Chris did.

    Part of the competition is a book deal so obviously the idea is going to have some weight at this stage.

    Agree Julie is a great cook but as she has not worked in a professional kitchen you can see that her time management needs serious working on.

    ETA*** Anyone - only saw your Poh comment after I posted :)
