Thought I'd start one...

They won't get eliminated, they are  the ratings drawcard, just like Ashlee & Sophia were last year.

They didn't deserve a 4 for the dessert using store bought pastry but Pete had to give them that to make sure they stayed in the show.

Did you notice the hairstyle was different on the shorter girl. When she was doing the cooking it had bits sticking out. When she was doing the talk through bit  her had had been professionally done, all nice and sleek.

Like any other 'reality show' it is rigged and scripted.

I still love watching it though

As far as being rigged is concerned, nothing was more obvious tonight when Manu, after telling the girls that their dessert was inedible and that the pastry was like cardboard, he still gave them the 4 points they needed to remain in the competition, despite Pete only giving them 2 points.

By using store-bought puff pastry, the girls displayed a total lack of morals and ethics, and in any other cooking competition anywhere else in the world, that dish would have been disqualified from scoring.

In their never-ending quest for ratings, the show's producers have likewise displayed the same lack of morals and ethics by allowing Chloe and Kelly to remain in the competition after cheating, IMO.

did you all notice when Rick made the mustard dressing for his prawn entree, he used half a jar of egg mayonaise and just added some extra flavours to it.

Well the old man from Cairns got what he deserved tonight.   After mouthing of at the Asian couple about their food. 

He would have don't much better if he hadn't drunk some much wine while he should have been cooking.

Present Mrs is number 4!!  She's 31.  His son is 30, his daughter is32. 

Can't be his personality or his looks

[cq_tech]

Agreed. Do you think it might have something to do with his obvious wealth? 😉

[imastawka]

He seems to be all over her.  Since when do you need someone's

arm around your shoulder at the dinner table for cryin' out loud.

And holding hands in the supermarket!  He just looks like he's

taking his daughter out.  He makes me go EWWWW

[lurker17260]

I just found it really creepy when he kept calling her "baby".  Not appropriate at any time let alone when she is 20(?) years younger.  Eeewwwww

And they couldn't cook for **bleep**

And chairs.  How on earth do you forget the chairs?!?!?!?!? 

[bluecat*dancing]

We hold hands etc. but don't call each other "baby". My step mum is only a few years older than me and my siblings; there was a 20 year age difference between her and my Dad. They were happily married for over 20 years until my Dad's death.

Their food didn't quite work out, did it? LOL.

Who actually pays for all of the ingredients in their meals? I imagine it must be the producers because do you have any idea how much they would have paid for around 18 live FNQ rock lobsters and the same number of live mud crabs?

To then cook them and remove all the meat from their respective shells... what a bloody waste and a crying shame. 😞

They might as well have just gone to Coles and bought a couple of dozen cans of crab and lobster meat, given the appalling manner in which they prepared their meals.

Also, why the hell did they buy a couple of dozen passionfruit at around $1 each when that they had their own vine with plenty of fruit on it (although as it turned out, it was just as well that they had them to use as spares when he stuffed up the passionfruit syrup)?

I just hope he's a better bank manager than he is an entertainer and cook. 🙂
