My Kitchen Rules (UK) - Jan 23rd

Mr E

MKR (UK) is starting on Thursday 23rd, which is an odd day to start if it is following the aussie format (5 days, 5 teams, Monday to Friday).

Love the Aussie one so looking forward to this. Not a huge fan of Lorraine Pascale but see how it shapes up!

stargazer 68

Anyone see it last night. The Dublin girls were first up! Won't say any more in case you all have it recorded

Mr E

Haven't watched it yet - won't see it until Sunday....

Kdylass

Really enjoyed it - it has all the ingredients to be very entertaining - a good mix of couples. Would love to have tried their menu

joi99

Watched it and wasn't impressed, reminds me of a weaker version of Come Dine With Me with lots of cynical voting and some very unlikeable characters

The Welsh couple

. Thought Jason Atherton was a good judge though.

Oh, I agree with you regarding the "spoiler" joi!....:eek:

I enjoyed it, shame it's only on once a week, I'd have liked a couple of nights on the trot to get into it..

Good craic though....They are a very odd mix of people....

Mr E

The Aussie one is 3-4 nights a week for 3 months. This looks like it will be much more condensed (either that, or we'll be watching the finale at Christmas).

Hope the 'spoilers' burn their kitchen down

Mr E

I see that this season is only 10 episodes long. That'll be 6 instant restaurants, and 4 rounds in the MKR kitchen with one team kicked out per night.

Anybody watching this?

I can't stop laughing at the Welsh man, he is priceless...talk about a game plan!....

I don't like the hairdresser fella

He is dreadful.

Even trying to influence the Judges....:eek:



He'll be lucky to get home alive at this stage!...

Judging by next weeks clip the hairdresser gets even worse!! Telling the guy he doesn't need a drink. He would get a slap off me if he tried that

grey_so_what

Anyone see last night's episode?..

The girls were great! The only crime were the Minnie Mouse bows on their heads! Their layout was lovely.

The two fire-lads were a bit disingenuous about them, I think they were playing a bit tactical though they denied it. They were quite harsh on the girls imo.

The hairdresser was on much better behaviour, can't wait for his night.

It's a pity it's not on a couple of consecutive nights, it's dragging it way out.

Mr E

Yep, it's way too dragged out.

I'm watching the current aussie series at the moment, and they're showing 4 a week. A much better pace for a show like this. FWIW, it's a cracking series this year - some great rivalries and some great disasters.

fishy fishy

the two girls did great - I really like them. I think the two firemen will end up being safe - if you watch the opening of the programme you will see them further along in the competition.

I think this weeks one will be a disaster.

clappyhappy

Really enjoying this, I think the producers did great work getting the mix of couples, the welsh couple are priceless, well he is. She seems lovely, she really enjoyed the Italian night. Can't wait to see their night, they are surely letting themselves up for a fall.

grey_so_what

I felt sorry for the two lads....The electricity going was the start of all their woes! In fairness, the main dish of rice looked awful.

You could nearly see the relief on the firemen's face as the meal was finishing.

To say they had a bad day was an understatement....:(

Now, next to the hairdressers night.......The promo showed a bit of "hassle in the castle", can't wait for it!...:)

Has he cooked yet?

Hardly at all!!.......

For all his talk he was the front man and his lady friend did the starters and the mains.....She was great, very well organised.

He did the prep and the Panna cotta but he was out of his depth!....His accompanying Rhubarb Compote didn't turn out right and it was left out. He also didn't research his Champagne and was caught out by the Judges.... which he didn't like. A bit of humble pie for him..

The Firemen were lapping it up....

He is actually the weak link in the partnership and kitchen for all his talk....

grey_so_what

How those two Scottish girls got through was beyond belief!....

They had a disastrous night.

The two lads had reason to be disappointed!..

I didn't think it could have got much worse after their night...

JP Liz V1

So bye bye the Irish couple


I really don't want the hairdresser fella to win


I quite liked the "chopped" part of the competition

Eyepatch

The Welsh pair look like a married couple. I find him amusing. He's no shrinking violet!

clappyhappy

I think the welsh guy is going to get caught out with cooking for large numbers. For the start up restaurant he was lucky as I assume she had everything planned to the last second. The following tasks will surely catch him out. (I hope!!)

fishy fishy

I don't understand this show at all...... for two weeks, two really good teams have been voted off. First the Irish couple, and now those two girls. I thought both these teams would be in it till the end. I can't understand how a bit of fish fried and a shredded potato on a pan won over hand made pasta, stuffed courgette flowers and homemade fish stock.

Something really weird to be left with two firefighters, two women chancing their arm nearly and a couple - one of whom doesn't seem to be able to cook at all, more like a loudmouth scullery boy.

Very disappointed at what we are left with.

clappyhappy

Have to agree with you fishy, thought the girls put in so much effort to their fish. While the other dish seemed almost perfect, there wasn't very much skill involved. When you take into account how much the girls did in that time it wasn't a very fair result.

I really hope the welsh couple don't win.

ibarelycare

Two of the three couples left are horrible. I can't stand the two firefighters, they just bitch and moan about the other couples constantly. Same with the Welsh guy (although the woman isn't too bad). I really wanted to see the two Liverpool girls in the final. They were fun and both of them seemed like great cooks, whereas the Welsh guy is just sailing along on his partner's coattails.

The two Scottish women are the only nice ones left, but even though they've won the last two challenges, I don't think they're really that great.

There are a lot of flaws in the structure of the competition, meaning that better people got kicked out too early.

Eyepatch

It was unlucky, the way the "sudden death" ended up with two of the best teams fighting it out. One just had to go. Sad that it was the girls. They were quite entertaining, as well as being very talented cooks.

ibarelycare

Not impressed with that at all. Both finalist teams consist of one great cook, and one person who can barely cook. Emma and Phillip didn't show any teamwork in the cook off, it was all Emma. Catriona and Allana should have been in the final. Really dislike the format of the show, not to mention all the finalists!!

Danny and Kev. Very underwhelming finale. I enjoyed the first rounds at the contestants' houses but after that it got crap!
