I felt a bit sorry for Claire when they said her food was too spaced out on the plate. Seems a petty thing to pick up on when they said it tasted great.

Felt the same.

It’s on now, starting earlier than usual.

Deserving winner on the night for sure.

Yep. Deserved winner. Good final.

They'll all do well out of it but he was a worthy winner.

Thought Thomas was a deserving winner, but I'd go to any restaurant that advertised Sandy cooking.

Yes I agree Thomas deserved to win, but Sandy has some really interesting ideas.

Thought he'd screwed it with the pastry, but Thomas deserved it, not just last night but all series.

Yeah right guy won.

You can defo see him running a high end gastro pub in the future

Haha John Barnes on Celebrity MasterChef.

He has to make an "Anfield Wrap" at some point.

Other than him, I've heard of about six of them. Sam Quek gets everywhere. Thomas from The Apprentice should be a good laugh.

As long as JB gets further than Judy Murray I'll be happy.

Apart from that, like you my knowledge of them is limited, 7 I recognise.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was counting. I got five.

I usually give the celebrity version a miss. It just doesn't interest me nearly as much as the regular or professional competitions.

I think it's entertaining watching how some of them get it so badly wrong, but then someone will surprise you and cook amazing food.

I agree. It seems like her agent goes for the scattergun approach when it comes to booking her.

As usual I don`t know who most of them are, but will still watch it anyway. They will have the usual "can`t boil water" contestants and then the ones that are vaguely competent. Weirdly it seems if you're an ex rugby player you should automatically be moved onto a michelin star.

John Barnes on this week.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #216 on:** July 3, 2020, 07:34:03 pm »

John Barnes is on the blue team. Everton fans will be livid.

Barnesy doing incredibly well biting his tongue here.

And John is out

Spent hours talking hopeless Judi through her part of the TfL cook, then did a slightly dry paella and lost out to her.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #221 on:** July 4, 2020, 09:40:51 pm »

John should have stuck to thing's he's made before rather than the paella and scallops.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #222 on:** July 29, 2020, 02:29:55 pm »

Must be a shorter series this year. The heats have just finished and my tv guide says there's only 3 episodes left.

Elzar · « **Reply #223 on:** July 29, 2020, 02:39:24 pm »

They need to get rid of John and Greg on this, they are so awful

The Bournemouth Red · « **Reply #224 on:** July 29, 2020, 05:40:46 pm »

Got to admit I've had no real interest in this series as I have in others.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #225 on:** July 30, 2020, 01:22:58 am »

They just showed half an hour of labrador/retriever puppies and you're complaining?

sinnermichael · « **Reply #226 on:** July 30, 2020, 10:47:59 am »

Judi, Matt and Sam final three. Calling it now.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #227 on:** July 30, 2020, 02:06:16 pm »

Pinsent to win for me. He's got the presence-of-mind of the top athlete.

Also, last night's fare including this:

Big fan of a scouser serving Salt and Pepper chips. Sam should have won for that alone

Looks like it was filmed during covid which will be interesting to see

Monica or Marcus sat in another room watching the skills test they didn't set on a tv monitor like Gogglebox.

I don't understand why they are doing this. Is it to comment on the chef as they are cooking, which they can't do whilst sitting in front of them? Or is it because of COVID?

It can't be COVID, can it? Because they return to the room and try the food!

It feels like a really strong start to the show - certainly the people who have gone through so far, and even the young guy who had his own restaurant who didn't make it.

Looks like it's going to be a really great show this year - definitely some strong early showings. Almost as strong as Marcus Wareing's eyes.

I was talking to my missus about it last night. We think it's about the rule of 6.

Before challenge - Monica, Marcus, Gregg, Camera man, Sound guy and Floor manager (6)

During challenge - Monica or Marcus, The chef, Gregg, Camera man, Sound guy and Floor manager (6)

Tasting - Monica, Marcus, The chef, Gregg, Sound guy and Floor manager (camera guy leaves with multiple cameras locked to get the judging shots). Close up footage collected either before or after tasting when there are less people.

Hmm! That is interesting.

But what about things like Coronation Street or EE where rule of six doesn't seem to exist? Same with some of the reality shows. And The Last Leg often have more than 6 people around.

I would have thought filming would have special dispensations?

But it does feel like there is some kind of restriction involved due to the oddity of it all. But I have actually enjoyed it. Before, you'd have to gauge from the eye rolls or the looks they shoot each other or the odd shake of the head but this commentary is a good idea. Not sure it is executed the best but I have enjoyed it.
