    The only negative that Bart got was the sauce by Marcus.

    Well done Alex. I was rooting for Bart and Santosh though.

    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 !!

    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:)

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

    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.

    Only finished the final just there. I think like most I had Alex as the outsider of the 3, but it does seem like the judges start with a clean slate each challenge. One bad challenge you are out or, like in the final, one perfect challenge and you are the winner.

    Which is all fair enough. It does seem to be judged fairly on merit and not for the cameras.

    Going back though the other episodes of finals week, was surprised in a good way when Jono got kicked off,though he was humble in defeat. He was very unlikable.

    As mentioned elsewhere I think we could see Santosh on TV again and if it is his dream to open a Nepalese restaurant then he has a good shot at it now.

    Bart looked the winner for a long way but again I hope it opens doors for him.

    Masterchef judge Charles Campion has died. This is sad. I really missed him on the show.

    Anyone watching the pro series this time?

    A very likeable bunch all round. I'd have been happy with most/any of them getting into the finals week.

    I've just watched the first of the finals shows - jaysus that Danish place is off the scale weird! Can't say I'd be rushing to eat there (especially at about €900 a head with the basic wine pairing, according to Google 😳) but its the most enjoyable of those bonkers episodes I've seen in a long time on MC.

    I'm torn between rooting for Tom and Kasae - but I think Tom is just shading it for me as the baby of the finalists - he really has been incredible all the way through.

    A very enjoyable series all round!
