    The tacos look messy not really fine dining.

    Is that Steve's first slip-up of the competition?

    Steve pushed the prawns to one side to do his purée artwork in the middle?!?!

    How have so many of them miscalculated quantities that badly?

    Brodie's dish is a lot more bun than fish!

    Brodie and Giovanna both cooking for survival.

    Let's not mention Allison's gnocchi.

    Never mind them, I feel like I'm going to have a meltdown if this carries on much longer :eek:

    Saliha straight through, and I think Lorna, but Allison will run it close.

    Do the diners get to taste each dish? If not, how could they choose a favourite.

    Good question!

    I'm slightly surprised there. I would have had that curry many times over.

    I thought Saliha would be a shoo-in!

    Oooh, veggie challenge.... devious!

    Saliha should do well again.......

    Sallya has cooked a few vegetable curries during the series so this should suit her.

    Does it matter what Jamie's dish is called, John? If it tastes good....

    How do you make icecream (never mind all the rest) in 75 minutes??? :confused:

    Gwan Steve - all the others took the easy route with desserts! Well, bar Saliha.

    I'm rooting for the savouries!

    It was essentially shortbread and strawberry. It was too simple and not executed as it needed to be.

    no he made a slip up with his risotto too one of the days this week..
    his prawn cocktail was poor though = serious lack of texture combinations.. and should not have called it a prawn cocktail

    i was wondering about this too - i am sure that they have some format for working it out..

    Yeah I feel that Jamie reached a natural end here - he had run out of steam - in every way.. nerve, skill.. he has talent - but it ends here (in this competition)

    Brodie hanging on by a thread IMO

    upon reflection here are my thoughts to date on the comp..

    i think Alison might win - she seems to have the best knowledge and skill with all meat/fish..

    has she done a desert though? not that i think it realllly matters.. (if they are gonna do deserts they need to be fab - but i feel some do them cos they have nothing else up their sleeves and they are often crap ie Jamies mess yday - I could have knocked that up)

    but steve is showing weaknesses..

    giovanni is stressing and ok when it comes to italian food but falls at more challenging tasks..

    lorna never filleted a fish before?? lack of skill..

    Saliha imo needs to show more than indian veggie cuisine..

    brodie - well i'd say he is reaching saturation point now..

    So..... who do we reckon is for the chop tonight???

    My guess would be Brodie - he's been shaky the last few rounds, and the others are far more sure of themselves when cooking their own food.
