What channel is it usually on?

Mr E

Australia only for now. It will be on TV here later this year.

Starting a little earlier this year. April 29th.

Can't wait, what with MKR finishing this week. Perfect timing

Next week - wooohoo. lol

Auditions showed the best dishes but those are always false dawns they had months to prep them.

Day 2 gold pin guaranteed and they get Stone for steak and chips

We forgot this runs Sunday to Thursday for us here so just caught up with todays episode. Holy plot twist :eek:

Nigella week! Can't decide if I like her on it or not - hubbie does

Pressure test = roast chicken = weak sauce Nigella really. Even I can roast a moist "chuck" and not resort to butter. Things get greasy enough as they are.

No undeserved eliminations so far imo.

norabattie

Actually really annoyed that someone from the yellow team had to go home because Abbie couldn't be bothered to come up with a dish in the relay. Saying that, I think she's going to go really far in the competition.

We've been at this in fits and starts this year, so watching them in 2's and 3's in the evenings with a bit of fast forwarding if it's getting late. So far no one has gone home who didn't deserve to. There is a good level here this year it seems. Tim and Nicole my early favourites at the minute.

Paddy The Pirate

It honestly annoys me so much.. the same absolute rubbish every year, she didn't deserve that, and I'm considering giving up on the whole series now.. what's the point in putting so much effort in for nothing

norabattie

Totally disagree. The worst dish went home. How many times do you have to be in a pressure test tbh.

More catch up today. Can't believe they set the truck on fire

Sorry to see

Tim

go.

Mr E

Up to date now. Sorry to see that person go too, Enfilade. He was the first shock elimination.
I think he

wasted his immunity pin too early

to be honest. I fully expected him to go close to finals week.

I want to go to Noosa on holidays. It looked fantastic there.

stargazer 68

Yep me too - to the spoliers and the lovely Noosa area

Mr E

The comeback episode was great. No surprise at who came back.

Delighted!

Mr E

I'm going be very hungry looking Masterchef this week.

nothing

Love a bit of Heston!

Mr E

I think Tim is going to go all the way. He is very talented and so damn likable.

Prince Harry FTW.

Mr E

Another good week. It's getting to the stage where I'm feeling bad about the person going home.

Top 10 now.

I think they got that one wrong. Simon should have got the chop there.

Agree. It's definitely down to favouritism at this stage I think.

Mr E

Great standard in the immunity challenge.

Tessa is a shoo-in for finals week (and probably the final)

Think I mentioned in previous years I'm not really one for deserts usually but that apple pie in todays pressure looked yum. The right person went home.

Yep. Think they have been just sliding through by luck a lot of the time. On winning teams etc

Mr E

Clever girl.

way too much work lol. But I love when they have to do those tasks. Doesn't seem to be as many of them this year.
The favoritism for Tessa is very obvious if you ask me also. I would love to see Tim, Derek or Simon win at this stage.

Derek has grown on me in recent weeks. Seems such a nice fella with a good character.
