Masterchef: The Professionals

HeidiHeidi

Awww, sorry to see Philly go (what with her being both a girl AND left-handed!), but right decision I think, based on those two rounds.

It's awful seeing them trying to celebrate without hugging or high-fiving, or even shaking hands - fecking covid has everything ruined :mad: (it even has me obsessing over them all pushing the door open one after another, how sad is that!)

This is going to be one cracking final i think!

I can't remember a time Masterchef made me emotional!

The series has been so enjoyable in spite of everything.

I like all 3 of the finalists. Usually I would have a favourite but all 3 are do good. If I was pushed Bart, Santosh and then Alex. That's the kiss of death for Bart

God, I can't pick between them - I really wouldn't fancy being a judge on this one. All three are brilliant in their own ways, and all equally likeable.

But I have a sneaky feeling that Santosh is just hitting his peak at EXACTLY the right time (if he doesn't have a coronary from the stress before plating!)

The problem with Santosh is he is doing the same food over and over again.

How about a joint winner ?

Aw I’m gutted Philli is gone but she had two bad rounds last night. I’m backing Santosh for the win. Looking forward to tonight. I’ve it enjoyed it this year despite the lack of the usual rounds (restaurants and mass catering).

ebbsy

Standard is the highest I've seen on this programme

No Bart! Don't put mushroom in your dessert!

Santosh may possibly have the edge - he's pushing himself so much and everything he does sounds interesting and delicious.

Go Santosh, Mr Happy !!!

Somebody always does something crazy in the final....

stargazer 68

This is tight so far!

ebbsy

Alex.....

twill

Think Alex is slightly ahead of Bart...

ebbsy

That trio of starters was risky, and appears to have scuppered his chances.

Meauldsegosha

I think Alex has it. He didn’t get any negative comments.

Meauldsegosha

Santosh knows he hasn’t won.

twill

Yes, looks like Alex. Good for him.

twill

It'll certainly be close.

The Master

Great final. Three very deserving finalists and three good guys

Meauldsegosha

Well done Alex.

twill

Ha, Santosh had to get the punchline in.

Going by the judges reaction you could tell who was going to win !!
Delighted for him, seems like a nice fella.
Santosh is gonna open a restaurant and make a load of money ( I hope).
He is so typical of any Nepalese person I have met (mainly in India) so happy and full of life.
Namaste !!

HeidiHeidi

Awww, the young fella done well!!!

Delighted (if a bit surprised) to see him win. He's so enthusiastic and..... just young!!

My heart was breaking for Santosh as they gave feedback on his dishes - you could see the victory literally draining from him as they went on. But he finished smiling and laughing, more power to him.

I'd say Bart feels a bit robbed! My goodness, he's one classy cook.

But I feel the right decision was made on the day.

(My obsession with costs continues though - Bart had what looked like 3 x 15oz or more Wagu steaks..... and each plate he served had three little slivers of it! Wtf happened the rest of it?? A very happy crew, I'm guessing. But the waste!!!! :eek:)

siblers

They should get rid of Marcus or Monika and get Andrew Wong, he seems like great craic

twill

I want to see Santosh present a show about Nepal and its cuisine.

Have it marked for tonight. I will be divorced if I watch any more cooking programmes

HeidiHeidi

Well that's a lovely start - JSP shaking her dandruff all over the worktop before she even starts

HeidiHeidi

Aww, as utterly annoying as she is, I've gotta love Vicki!!

JSP, on the other hand, seems to be out to antagonise at all costs - and she succeeds with me.
