    Some of the menu turns my stomach a little, to be honest, especially the pumpkin pie and bacon business.

    Can't say that doughnut cake confection does a whole lot for me either!

    Even the trifle manages to look a bit eeuww - and I LOVE trifle!

    Paul Ainsworth appears to be a very nice guy,not usually a quality in michelin star chefs.

    I don't even like seafood, but Steve's dish looked AMAZING.

    There seems to be a timer permanently going off in that kitchen!

    What's with a caesar salad on a waffle - wtf? :confused:

    Gawd, how do they come up with ideas for things like "inspired by someone you admire"?

    I'd lie down and surrender right there!

    Their instructions at the start were to "let your imaginations run wild" (or words to that effect) - yet now they're cribbing about the wild and wonderful presentation of otherwise seemingly perfectly cooked dishes?

    Hmmmmm.

    Really hate that Matt lipstick- very unattractive imo. I know this is a cooking programme and I wouldn't comment on Steve's hair etc but it's distracting:)

    when the yank said "i'm gong to use the word... yummy"... and they all laughed - what was that about? what was sooooo funny about saying "yummy"? humour was lost on me.

    yeah Lorna was the weakest there...

    I still don't appreciate Alison.. can't warm to her and I don't like the style of her food - not saying she hasn't skill - I just don't get her... but granted she did well with that pastry - it was melting as she was rolling it... I hope the taste of it was worth the effort.. i think she might win - the judges seem to love her.

    I lovvvvved Steve's creation... I mean - thats culinary art - he created a dish that represented a movie... ok - a scary movie but I thought it was class..
    And he was class in the 1st half - his bisque was "fantastic" apparently..
    I'd love him to win...

    Giovanni's presentation was so poor..

    Saliha - well it wasn't a curry ..

    PS What team was Alison on in the Holby City challenge? winners or loosers? can't rem

    That would be regarded as top, top, top notch bantz in the diplomatic community.

    Shows that he puts his trousers on one leg at a time like the rest of us and is not some stuffy politician.

    Just saying that diplomats and politicians are probably not the most hilarious people around, at least not at formal occasions. Him saying 'yummy' would get polite fake laughing at almost any event, so would be considered "banter" or bantz. Shows he is an everyman, a man of the people.

    Bill Burr he most certainly ain't.
