Masterchef UK 2016

Evening (all) Heidi.

Poor ould Alan Carr had a complete horror show. Even if his fish was perfectly cooked and not raw he still probably wouldn't have gone through. Seemed a bit clueless.

Fair play to cocky Pedro.

I thought Stretch Armstrong the personal trainer was blessed to get through. Charles was very negative about it.

Thought Mammy was unlucky, Julie was it? If she just served a few teaspoonfuls of sauce she might have sailed though, so thought that was harsh.

Not a great day for big Stewie alright.

Hi all, long time lurker. Loving the series so far. Just wondering do any of you know, in the critics round, are the chefs starting cooking times staggered? If not, surely it's unfair as the first one has an hour but the rest would have longer because the critics need time to eat each course etc.

All by my lonesome here tonight.

Good episode.

That chap with the glasses is eerily similar to the lad who won Masterchef professionals before Christmas. He fairly nailed the first dish, maybe a bit too ambitious, but he is very good too.

For some reason I got quite emotional at Lauren's food.:) Well at John and Greg's reactions. Fair play to her. She could easily win it.

Every dish looked amazing. I'm cheering her on anyway.

Gabin finally provided some X-Factor open audition type LOLS :pac:

Poor guy, total horror show, but he was blessed the Greg Wallace lookalike was even worse than him cooking for the second time.

John is dour every episode but Greg seems to be having a great laugh.

He was funny roaring at Lauren.

Is it me or Gregg is really unsuitable to judge a cooking competition? He really seems out of his depth sometimes, and not just when he declares that chocolate and ginger don't go together!

I felt like slapping him when the poor blonde woman was trying to plate up her chocolate fondants. He was so loud it was ridiculous.
