Masterchef Ireland 2012

Mr E

Starts Thursday October 4th. Not sure if it ranks up there with the Aussie or UK series, but it's still an entertaining show.

Looking forward to this. Not quite as entertaining as the Australian series (which I think is the best masterchef) but I did enjoy it last year!

Cienciano

This is on tonight. Didn't see the last series, but heard the judges weren't great.

Cienciano

No one watching? Yer man is fairly stressed out

Chong

I am watching young lad seems hoplesess

Chong

Mousse clearly hadn't set

Cienciano

He's going home, no surprise

LizT

Poor guy, he just got stressed out.

superblu

Looks pretty mingin

LizT

That soup looked disgusting.

Cienciano

Room isn't quite as spectacular as the hall australian masterchef uses

Masterchef Australia is my favourite masterchef, pretty spectacular all around.

superblu

Serious crash and burn

Yeah, I like the format of the rounds and I like the judges. You have to record it so you can forward through the australian ad break link up bits.

LizT

It must be fairly boring for Nick and Dylan to sit there and watch the contestants cook for 30 minutes each.

Cienciano

Did she say "shít" :eek:
Food looks good though

LizT

Poor girl looks like she's going to burst into tears.

Did I just see someone getting oxygen from a paramedic??

Cienciano

Definitely "emotional". Wonder if you see people ahead of you not getting through?

Saw that too! Should be interesting to see what happens.

Cienciano

She should have had a double brandy before she went on to calm the nerves

Chong

Steak is not cooked, there is blue but that's bloody raw

Fair play to her coming back from that - she looked shook.

Cienciano

She's gutted.

amdublin

Dylan's Belfast accent is much stronger this year...

Chong

Blooming heck we 30 mins in with only 2 through

Just about to say that! No one is getting through.

Wonder if beans on toast would get me through?

Pigwidgeon

They seem much tougher this year.

Ecarg

They must have to taste a load of rubbish... The elimination process must be so tedious and we only see the edited hour!

amdublin

Ooh that sea bream looks lovely!

John_Rambo

Most of it's average home cooking in fairness. Sea bream looks good. Shocked at the raw steak.

Chong

Like that chap fair play

There's quite a few round before they even get to this stage, a friend of mine went to the first set of auditions but didn't get through, I think that was actually in Cork and not Dublin.

Cienciano

I hate fish served with the head on it. A few getting through now

amdublin

Jaysis the mad shriek off your wun! :eek:

? It's a fish!

Ecarg

That fish looks delish . Seems to be the way to go to get an apron

amdublin

Jaysis and that wun thought she was in a hollywood movie :eek:

Chong

See I don't see why previous contestants get back in

Hope I never get chicken in your house
Beak and feathers still attached!

Why not! If they get through the process why not

After all nobody says you can't enter the olympics because you won last year... :rolleyes:

And he's rejected yet again, that must be so disheartening

Jaysus, don't go to some of the countries I have dined in!

Chong

This is the downside to allowing contestants return, in fairness two years in a row and still hasn't got it right

superblu

Poor owld devil

Touché

What did the person off camera say to Stuart???

They wanted to do a chat

John_Rambo

I'd say it was the producer or floor manager looking for a chat on camera...

Cienciano

The salmon was raw, but he obviously cooks better than that at home, just didn't work on the show. I'd say he was pissed off and embarrassed and wanted to get out of there asap.

amdublin

Poor Stuart
