MasterChef is great tonight!

[j*oono]

Am I the only person here that still loves the show?

[mtnlane]

Right!  That was it.

I really like him too - perhaps now he will stand up a bit more and get more notice.

One I do not like is Amelia or a name like that - a touch of arrogance I find very unattractive despite her ability to make stand out panna cottas lol

what episode are y'all on,please?

[j*oono]

It is series 6 Sineater.

I've noticed that they keep the website pretty low key now with no community forum.  I think they had trouble with people venting their dislike of contestants a little bit too nastily in the past.

Hey!  Underbat, that recipe for avocado ice cream is on that site 😄

[sineaterdoodah]

oh,thank you,i'm betting i can see this better than the other site!

What did you think of the sushi challenge j*oono?

I don't have the patience to make it all so artistically but it was interesting to watch Nobu's knife skills.

[j*oono]

It was good Laney but I was only half watching it last night.  I thought Laura did a fantastic job.  She has everything so together for a young girl her age and always cooks well (touch wood).  I think it was Laura.  I get her and the model girl Sarah confused.

I was disappointed that Sam went. I had the feeling that they were trying to get rid of Byron and he really was making a mess last night but he survived yet again.

Silly fish bones.

[mtnlane]

Byron's poor treatment of the fish and his mixed presentation were the lesser evils in comparison to the fish bone and the thickness of the fish that Sam put up.

Tonight is going to be interesting - I saw a preview of the immunity challenge and it 'suggested' that one of the competitors had a very good chance of winning it tonight.  Perhaps the quality and experience of the guest chef is not as high-ranking as the previous ones.  

[j*oono]

Amy did so well but I think it was a foregone conclusion.  That chef was so good and a true professional.

I was really quite surprised by Colin’s first round tonight.  He surprised me.  I really liked his idea of the little potato clam shells with sea foam.

It was funny when Amy said that she had an advantage because she had experienced the pressure before 😄

Don’t ever take any notice of the promos.  They are always deceptive.

[mtnlane]

Her fish looked like it had fainted on the plate - no contrast - whereas his was SO colourful!

Yeah - I agree about the promos being deceptive - I forgot to take that into account lol

I wonder if they have any problem getting chefs to stake their reputations on the competition - would be stressful for them as, unlike the contestants, they have a reputation to defend.

[j*oono]

It is extremely rare for a guest chef to be defeated.  I'm pretty sure the only one I can remember was an apprentice chef.  

Manu Feildel was good at it.  Very helpful and I don't think he cared whether he won or not but of course he did.
