Eh.. 'Gentlemens relish' is now slang for semen. Christ above.

It is???

That was.... well, a tad less successful than last night's, to say the least!

My three favourites from that round got through, couldn't warm to Bobby for some reason, he just seems a bit odd and arrogant. And although Gavin was a lovely fella, he was just a bit....safe.

Now that my original favourite, Joey, is gone, Danilo is top of my list.

Bah, came home from (yet another) night out, plonked on the couch and fired up the Sky box - only to find that there was no MC tonight :mad:

Swizz!

Masterchef is never on TV on a Friday.... too much wine perhaps:)

Oh.

Could have sworn it was......

Whoever was slagging me about my social life - now see what it does to me?? :eek:

Marcus's racism coming to the fore. Bobby produced the three best dishes on the show but it wasn't enough. Was only a matter of time. I'm done watching this show.

I kind of gave up last week, when they had to cook for the law society and the cricket people

Oh - I'll keep watching it to the end it now - though the show does seem horribly elitist (law society and Lords Cricket Club) and sexist.

Well, those last few posts came out of nowhere? What gives?

Was just coming on to post something similar!

The series has always done stunts like that - it's nothing even nearly new.... what's wrong with a few barristers and cricketers???

Why not cook for teachers or nurses?

Maybe they wouldn't be good judges of fine dining?

Sure why not drag a few randomers in off the street altogether, and be done with it?

The show is pitched at a certain level, doesn't mean anyone else isn't worthy of it!

And it's always been so, what's changed to offend (some) viewers this series

Blurb from the Guardian for tonight's programme


MasterChef: The Professionals
8pm, BBC2

It’s very much a case of poacher turned gamekeeper as the first two semi-finalists battle for a spot in the last round. Anton Piotrowski, joint winner of this very show in 2012, now runs the Michelin-starred Treby Arms in Sparkwell, Devon. He’s in charge as the two 2015 wannabes take on a signature dish each for a bustling lunch service. Having also attempted the pigeon wellington that helped Piotrowski win three years ago, they return to MasterChef HQ to make Monica Galetti and Marcus Wareing a main course and dessert. Jack Seale

I read he got a star actually, I suppose it was inevitable he'd be on the show again at some point. Not that that's a bad thing, I quite liked him.

And Gregg Wallace has been replaced by Dara O Briain:eek::eek:

I know I heard one of the contestants saying he'd be 'over the moon' if he qualified for the Semi Finals - but this is going a bit far:D

The funny thing was it was Mike Gatting. The epitome of the hard drinking, womanising, hell raising, tough as nails, pie & chips man. Just a bit odd watching him judge fine dining.

Mark ( nice Mark) and Dean in the ring

Just looked it up myself, too

£70 for a taster menu. I'll be in Bristol & Bath in February so we might head there.

The fact that he has a beer with his lunch makes him someone after my own heart.

I think Dean won that round on points

Wondered if it was a cider??

Could be. I don't drink wine, beer or cider with dinner for me. It's funny how many high end restaurants don't sell beer, of so it's usually plss like Corona or Peroni.

Beer and Cider have far more varieties and tastes than wine. Way better suited to a meal IMO.

Two great ' menus' from the lads
