Masterchef 2021

Mike is a bit wild-eyed looking!

The pithiviers (?) are making my mouth water.

I just adore the look of them whenever they appear on these shows!

I've never had one though, I'll have to add it to my bucket list.

Alexina looking by far the most professional and competent of the three so far

James Martin made one on Monday on this morning with sausage and apple! A posh sausage roll as Eamonn said!

Oh Mike...

Tom's hair hanging down over him plating is making me queasy

Why would you pipe your circle of little choc dots before dropping the big yoke in the middle???

I think he was making the most of his time while they dried..

Oh gosh - as I feared.. Mike struggled.. (Mike had never made a desert in the comp to date - I guess they gave him desert on purpose - and they prob deliberately did not give desert to Alexina as they seem to be her default)..

His madeleines wer not good.. ekk.. but he did better than I thought he would overall - at least the choc/praline thing was good..

TG they wer not being judged at that point.. he's my fav - though I think Tom is gonna do it..

Oh I'm still rooting for Alexina - partly because of her personality, but also her food is just so interesting, and elegant.

I enjoyed that episode a lot. Much as I like Mike, I do think it's between Alexina and Tom because they seem that bit more versatile. I'll be happy for whoever wins.

Yeah I liked her from the start - she told a story about her working in a market or something like that - and how she learnt a lot about cooking from a lady who use to make them lunch out the back or something to that effect.. and she has her own style - thats for sure..

But so much of Mike's food I have wanted to eat..

But I think Tom has that magic touch...

I guess who I wanna win and who I think will win are different.

Seemed mad Mike got this far and it was his first time doing a desert in the whole show

98% of his dishes have been flawless.. but I hope his reluctance to do deserts doesn't catch up on him

BBC 1's coverage tonight is all about the royal death, so it looks as if the final is postponed.

BBC 1 and BBC 2 is all coverage of Philip. Not sure why both channels are required as they are both showing the exact same thing

No updates so far on the Masterchef social media, but some news sources including the Sun have confirmed that it has been postponed. No news on an alternative date yet.

Gogglebox has also said tonight's schedule may change. Do they really need the same thing on every channel!!

Ah, I have two films recorded, one of them will have to do (apart from anything, can't be doing with all the ad breaks on C4).

Just trying to decide which will be less depressing! Any opinions on Blackkklansman vs Manchester By The Sea???
