I always enjoy this series so much. I'll never forget "shaky Dave" and how it all mattered to him.

zoobizoo

The best reality show ...

Nowhere to hide from Monica and Marcus...

Missed yesterday's show.

Monica's skills test seems far too complicated. Would love to eat it, though.

dudara

I really enjoyed the duck skills test. Seems simple doesn't it, but 5 out of 6 chefs made a haymes of it.

Jaysus them skills tests are tough..looking at the Indian man trying to make a souffle...cringe..

Meauldsegosha

Jamie looks like a good shot to be a finalist at this stage. Mark's down fall was his over confidence. It's a pity because he had real potential.

TheRiverman

Give me some boiled Jersey Royals with a dab of butter anytime.

zoobizoo

Missed it tonight... Is it repeated or available online?


It's my favourite tv show.

ebbsy

Some lads were really strong last night...they will be there at the end.

Bad luck for certain chefs that they had possibly th ed toughest 3 critics.

Great show overall. No farting around. You can either cook on this or you will be buried.

How did the young guy who made the omelette even get that far into the competition/accepted fpr the competition? Even I make a nicer looking omelette than that yoke he dished up

Cooking for the critics tonight, always entertaining with their sarcastic comments !

I missed eps 1 but have seen all the rest. No one really standing out. I didn't really follow last year but in 2015 Mark Stinchcombe stood out from the get go. No one like that yet for me.

zoobizoo

Early days as it's just the first week and there'll be another twelve next week.

Thought Stephen was the best of this week's batch.

This is the second week.

zoobizoo

WTF!!!!

Did I miss a whole week??

Dang

Eyepatch

This evenings' decision as to who to eliminate after cooking for the critics, was difficult, as no one stood out over the others. The guy who was finally eliminated had shown most promise in the beginning rounds.

HeidiHeidi

Anyone else watching this?

Yesterday's youngfella was only brilliant, may he go far! Not a bit cocky with it either, I really liked him!

This pigeon skills test is just double dutch to me.... (I've only just tuned in)

HeidiHeidi

Ants :eek: :eek:

HeidiHeidi

Patronising that young girl much???

I loved her, as much for her tidy, meticulously-scraped-back hair as anything

Eyepatch

I'm half watching it. The Brazilian guy who put raw and cooked pigeon in the same tray will find it difficult to get through, I'd say.

Ooof - haven't got to that bit yet, but thanks for the tip, might just FF!

I'm still on the hippy dippy young fella..... I wonder if you asked them, would they all say "I wish they'd feck off interviewing me while I'm trying to COOK!"

The same thought crossed my mind too.

HeidiHeidi

Jaysus, the private chef hasn't done his CV any favours with that dish!

Jaysus.... three carrots and about half a pound of butter to cook them in :eek::eek:

Exactly my thought! He could be a transsexual - I suppose that's his/her business.

Louisa is on a roll. One to watch out for - and beautiful to boot!

Yep, thought that as well - on both counts!

HeidiHeidi

That fella who develops cheesecakes for a supermarket I reckon is one to watch!

(have to see if he pulls it off, mind you!)

Agree! Seems very confident.

HeidiHeidi

Jesus, the Brazilian guy got the shakes pretty bad :eek:

He's making me rattle here!

HeidiHeidi

Jaysus Marcus, tell that poor young fella what you really think, why don't you.....

Eyepatch

There was little or no hope he'd get through after that faux pas. They couldn't risk it.

zoobizoo

Really high standard tonight.

Yep...these last 4 are very good..I love the critics table !

zoobizoo

And my three favourite judges...

stargazer 68

I thought Stephen last week was excellent but these guys are too

Eyepatch

Anyone watching tonight? Six more chefs. Some outstanding chefs. The skills test was sheeps' sweetbreads. One guy, Matt, had the best ever skills test and the best ever followup dish that the judges had ever experienced on Master Chef. Most of them were cooking things in three different ways. Really for the Professionals!

Another quarter-final tomorrow!

clappyhappy

He is really talented, considering his age and the fact that he is a private chef. Marcus said it was the best signature dish ever in masterchef. You just knew the girl was going to go, when she said I like to serve salty food........

Eyepatch

It must have been extremely salty, when Monica actually gagged at the taste and refused to eat it.

Eyepatch

Matt is amazing. Apart from his obvious talent and originality, he is so cool. No sign of pressure or being flustered. Headed to be overall winner, by the looks of it!

zoobizoo

Really wanted the slightly sick looking lad from Liverpool to do well.

And poor Tasso.... Really wanted to see what was coming next from him.

Are contestants allowed to re enter the following year.... Would be great to see how people improve across twelve months.

reap-a-rat

Yeah I agree with Tasso - if he had nailed the cheesecake I think he would have cooked up a storm in the critics round. Was devastated for him.

I agree Matt seems the likely winner so far, but everything can change in knock out week

clappyhappy

Looking forward to the next few weeks, we'll see the cream rising to the top and hopefully it won't be a foregone conclusion as who is the obvious winner.

HeidiHeidi

Very impressed with young Louisa..... she seems very quietly determined, and incredibly talented.

Looking forward to seeing more of the eye candy that is Matt

Don't think I've ever seen a team of pros or amateurs work together like they did tonight.... or a round of plates as flawless as they all threw up in the second half - I'm just glad it wasn't me trying to judge it!

stargazer 68

Have to say at the start of the episode I really didn't think she should have been in the top 10. Eating my words Now!

Eyepatch

I'm hoping Louisa and Matt will be there to the end.

dudara

That was a tough judging tonight. No one deserved to go home.

I can’t help but think...what if tomorrow’s team are pants? Would they get rid of two and bring James back? Have they ever done that kind of thing before?
