Anyone watching it ?

I have just started so can someone tell me how many at the start and how many have been eliminated.

Thanks.

I'm watching it. But I record and watch later.

They had a final 24 and 4 have gone....

Contestants -

I'm not happy. I thought they were going to take it back down for the

average cook. But these are all dishes for rich people.

In other words - it's pretentious. Who can afford the ingredients they use?

And they don't have to worry about waste. I think Masterchef should

address that. They'd go broke running a commercial kitchen that way.

But as hubby says 'It's Masterchef, not Mastercook'

I haven't decided on a favourite yet

Rant over

Donna, looks like a class action is being started for Thermomix burns victims.

Please be careful. I can see them being taken off the market and a recall

About what, in particular?

87 + people can't be wrong

Thermomix will certainly need to re design.

Thanks stawks for the update on MC 2016.

I think it's 5 eliminated after Nidhi went tonight.

Looking at the faces, I can usually pick which contestants have the nouse and I can only see three.

It is about an old model

Oh NO..........................I'm just going to sit n rock in the corner with the lights out.

Seriously, soowyy. But out of the ones cooking off tonight, you'll be able to pick it as they start anyway. Too easy.

At this point in the competition, I think Nicolette has a good chance of going all the way. I don't want her to win though. I'd like to see one of the outsiders take it out, like Miles (the park ranger) or Brett (the airline pilot). I hope Cecilia gets the boot soon. I'm sick of her going on about her kids. I got really mad when she plated up that food and piped "For Nathan" on the plate. She should have been booted for that.

I don't think Jimmy and Theresa will go much longer. Theresa will go first. She doesn't seem to handle the pressure and tonight was pretty obvious of that. The tear jerking session when one of the siblings does go is going to be woeful. I don't think Karmen will make it through either.

So far this year no-one has been throwing any death stares. There was one last year who kept throwing daggers at everyone and came across as being a real b1tch. Same with the year before (which was the first year I watched it). I suppose it's possible for any of the girls to have a bad week and carry on like a female dog.

At this moment, I think it will either be Nicolette or Matt. Who knows though, there's still a long way to go. I'm sure whoever wins, part of it will depend on whether they are easy on the eye or not.

It is two models that have had reported burns problems. TM31 and TM5.

The Choice article above does say subsequent models have a safety feature not included in TM31 or TM5.

So other all-in-one machines tested, were safer, than those two. If they had a cut-out feature to prevent high-speed hot liquid spillage. By not letting people blend hot liquid at high speed.

Just looking at the faces of the contestants I see possibilities in -

Jimmy Wong

Matt Sinclair

Trent Harvey

and for the girls, Heather and Mimi, if they can cook.

Stawks you better not read here, we are probably going to talk about the show as it airs every night.

I did glance at the time before opening the thread Kopes.

Just to make sure tonight's episode hadn't been on.

Maybe I'll comment the next day. I don't usually catch up until after midnight

Re: Masterchef 2016

*tippy*toes* — Fri, 20 May 2016 08:55:13 GMT

It's not on Fridays or Saturdays. We have to wait until Sunday night now. Have you watched last nights yet Stawks?

Re: Masterchef 2016

imastawka — Fri, 20 May 2016 09:07:07 GMT

Yep. Kopes gave the game away. Nhidi (sp?) went

Dunno what she was thinking with putting up bharjis!

Sorry....but I'm off to the Train that is Groovy for dinner, lol

I think what the judges said to her was right. She was trying to put a modern spin on an Indian dish and that's not how she wants to cook. She should have stuck with what she was good at as they seemed to really like the food she'd cooked prior to that.

It was a shame she went because I was looking forward to seeing what else she could do. I suppose like previous years there will be a second chance cook off at some point. She might be lucky enough to get back in on that. Although by the time that happens, there will probably be someone else I prefer get back in.

I'm hoping Miles will be like Ben. Start out with meat and three veg, then kill the dessert queen.
