This series of Masterchef

the show on c4 tonight about heston blumenthal taking over the running of a little chef was lol

^ always a LOL

Another LOL fest last night. Fat jolly woman making risotto, then blending it into a grey paste was excellent. Torode and Wallace clearly fancied Belinda in her tiny shorts.

bitch knew it. i didn't like her at all. i'm glad she didn't win.

Yep, I'm glad that the teary bloke who looks like Ming the Merciless got through (although I quite liked the blase attitude of the black woman in the 'prattling on about food' round, who just didn't give a solitary shit). Wallace nearly wet himself over those scallops. On the subject of scallops, why is every cookery program utterly obsessed with them at the moment? They're everywhere!

fat, teary, ming the merciless. lol

I think you mean IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE BRITISH THAN THIS

Haha! That photo is great. I loved the bit in last night's when they were bellowing at in other in some Covent Garden cafe.

exsqueeze me?

Oops, I did of course mean to write "bellowing at each other"

i thought that dude was being a bit reckless peeling that celeriac...

moments later he cut his thumb off.

that vegetarian dude didn't do much to promote vegetarian cuisine - chickpeas, bacon and boiled potatoes? wtf bad plate of food

edit: i'm not sure if that girl deserved to win, but i'm glad

yea, it was quite silly

An utterly farcial episode last night. A fine start with bald man chopping his thumb off, being comforted by Wallace & Torrode, then being carted off to A&E. A shame, because his dish resplendant with thumb tip and blood would doubtlessly of been better than the competition. The realms of the absurd were fully charted with a truly baffling "meat/raw potato in lashings of unsimmered down red wine" dish cooked by the vegetarian. Why?! A dismal performance, as shown on the faces of all involved.

Other highlights - the floppy fucked up fondant, or fondOnt as they annoyingly kept saying. Oh dear. They really should of heeded Wallace's sound advice about the path to Masterchef glory being paved with broken and rubbish fondonts. Pretty dark haired girl made it through, but you can guarentfuckingee she'll be out on her arse in the next round. Also scallops again?! Do they force them on the contestants as they enter the building?!

Yeah, what on earth was that one all about ?

its filmed in the univeristy halls i used to be in. ALthough in them days (2003) exactly where they show the cooking, it would be full of us students, and totally shit food being served by a turkish chef who used to keep grabbing the breasts of the married, middle aged dinner ladies, much to their pleasure.

so no one is as happy about her winning as she is?

Not had a chance to watch it last few days, she's not bungled her way through another round has she?

she was the only one who 'delivered 3 decent plates of food' apparently. her main course seemed was really boring though, salmon on stir-fried veg with potatoes...

Just watched it on demand. Her dessert looked quite interesting. As was Gregg's reaction to it, that's the best frenzied giggle we've seen all series!

To be fair, that was a bloody rubbish standard of cooking from pretty much all of them last night. Not a patch on last years yet, though we'll see how they fair in the silly challenges they set them for the rest of the week.

My favourite part last night was the black lady looking like she was having a nervous breakdown when they were tasting her food. "Think nerves have got to you tonight" = well deduced Gregg!
