Sineater - psst...in here

*crikey*mate* — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 08:09:47 GMT

I just watched Materchef US Season 5 Episode 1

(Thought I better start a new thread and not hijack the Australian one)

Plus we can add Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares to this one too.

They changed the format!

I liked the previous format where you got to see the top 100 auditions. This year, it is only 30????

Graham is looking good, eh? 150lbs you say?

Joe is still Joe, but I reckon Gordon just gets better LOL

1st Cookoff - Can't see the point in Gordon joining the contestants, but then cooking right up the front with his back to everyone so they couldn't see him? Wonder what the point of that was?

Wish they had have shown more of the guy with the syringe and the molecular gastronomy - do you know if he pulled off his dish? I mean, he made it through, but what did he actually do? They didn't show that. The molecular stuff intrigues me - saw it in action at elBulli - but only as an observer.

The little fella with the pate - I thought that was rough eliminating him before the cookoff was even over. They corrected the seasonming in other dishes - he corrected the salt in the pate once they called him on it - then they made an example of him - he seemed to have a fair bit going on, lots of skill bases - but I guess using salt is a pretty basic one, eh?

2nd cookoff - what's with the girl who got a second chance and she cooked another pie? Like WTH? Payed off though I spose. Must have tasted good, cos it looked a mess.

And the guy with the "Runaway Prawns" LOLOL - bit of a tripper! What was he on? Pasta looked good, but I nearly spat my coffee out when he said the pasta portrayed seaweed and the prawns were trying to escape

*whiplash*

Like huh????\

Did he really say that with a straight face?

and the poor bloke with the "play on" a potato souffle... I cringed for him when he said that - I mean - a play on a souffle? There are some things that ya just don't do! Was a shame though, cos the rest of his plate looked good, and the parmesan crisp didn't look soggy, so I thought he might sneak through..

and then the girl with the rosti stack.... raw potatoes? seriously? she looked surprised, so she mustn't have tasted em before serving, eh?

OMG and that woman who was working ion a pigs trough! She was just chucking stuff all over the floor! I've never seen anyione work so dirty - like, is that how she cooks at home? and when they called her on it, she said "I thought they had people to clean that"???? Can't believe they let her through - food must have tasted good, but geez, she cooked like a pig.

Ok, sorry about that - It kind of felt like we were intruding with the couple of posts we made, was just trying to be polite and not hijack your thread when it seemed top be about the Australian series, not the American one.

Hello, everyone. This discussion is getting a little heated. Could we please communicate with a more civil tone. Thanks!

Surely you're not serious! Everybody here is being perfectly civil. Why would you think otherwise?

Maybe when they said heated they thought it was burned.

i am cracking up at the pics,AND the mod,lol!

joono,i do appreciate that,but i agree with crikey,it wouldn't be polite to intrude on the thread about the australian show,along with 2 other american shows. i do thank you though,and i'll come back to that thread,too,as soon as i get caught up on the aussie season you're discussing,found it on a ...shall we say"off-brand" website,lol!

crikey,there are HUGE protests about the change,i think i've seen maybe 3 people who prefer it this way.

it was on the website that he's lost 150 pounds,i think he looks incredible!

as for gordon,i didn't really get that either,unless he thought it would be less distracting/influential if they couldn't see him?

the molecular stuff,do you remember marcel of the strange hair from hell's kitchen? he had a 6 episode show on scyfy about it,the show was dull,but the cooking was...intriguing. you could probably find it online,i believe it was called marcel's molecular kitchen.and no,they didn't show his dish as successful,persay,but i guess the straw worked well enough to make it through the first round,lol!

salt is way too big to miss,i guess,be it over or under, and i think he got in over his head. he could have been interesting ,though.

gotta say,both piegirl and prawnboy flat cracked me up!

i know i shouldn't have,but when the plate broke,i totally lost it laughing.i agree,as soon as those words came out of his mouth,i knew he was done.

what got me with rosti girl,i could swear she said she cooked those frequently. if that was true,she'd know just from lifting it that it wasn't done. and the plating was atrocious,imho!

as for astrid,the slob...huge outcry that she made it through,me included! she says she has 4 kids,i sincerely hope none have been injured slipping on mama's mess in her home kitchen,geez!

okay,so i saw episode 2 just this past monday,so i think you're only a week behind? this would be good,i can keep my mouth shut that long,lol!

again,thank you joono,for your kind offer,and i WILL be back when i'm caught up. it's quite a different show than the american veersion,or the many UK versions. some of those make my teeth hurt.
