Is it just me or does Nigella sound like she has had a few drinks?

Elimination round.................drum roll!

 

Poor blue team. They're all good cooks, so it will be interesting to see who goes. I hope it's not Matt, Brett or Mimi.

Miles is safe. Until Sunday, when he likely to be bottom three again. The odds narrow every week. 19 this week; 17 next week, then 15, then...

 

He's got to step it up.

 

Half the blue team haven't even rated any screen time, which would tend to indicate their television appeal skills.

 

Can't remember his name, but the buttoned to the chin George wannabe won't leave a hole in my heart when he goes.

From the blue team? Con? He's hardly been seen at all. It wouldn't bother me if he left. He hasn't really brought much to the show so far, so no great loss if he does go. I think he's been trying to stay in the middle thinking he's safe.

 

I bet Miles is sighing with relief. I think he knows his days are numbered. He should spend each night practicing. Not sure if they're doing that this year, but the last few years they spend their spare time practicing different things. Makes sense. They can't go anywhere.

Re: Masterchef 2016

The team consists of Matt, Con, Charlie, Brett, Mimi and Elise.

 

I don't think Brett n Con have enough to make it through.

 

I agree tippy, this years contestants seem more lay back and don't take it so seriously.

But maybe that makes it closer to home rather than the ridiculous recipes, although amazing we have seen in previous years.

Re: Masterchef 2016

I hope Charlie, Mimi and Matt stay. Then Elise. Then Brett- though I cannot think of 1 thing hes cooked.

Sorry to say, but bye bye Con..He doesnt cope with the stress..and I think hes scraped through a few times now?

 

But Good Luck to all of 'em...While secretly whispering extra luck to Charlie, Mimi and Matt.Woman LOL

 

Didnt that rocky road look good?mmm

Though potato salad- wth?never thought of it as fete food, and it looked a mess..If yellow team didnt have the RR and the blondies..I thought they deserved to go on the potato salad.

 

Also, it IS a cooking comp- why didnt the judging include the customers voting on the best meal plus the takings, and the total would be half that.

That would be fairer, and Im pretty sure it would have changed the outcome...what do others think?

Re: Masterchef 2016

I'm having trouble remembering who's who       At this stage I should know them,

but I don't.  Dunno who Con is.   I only know faces, not names. 

 

Why on earth did it take an hour to melt chocolate?  Something wrong there.

(still want brookies)

 

All I know is, Matt better do well.  My money is on him for the long haul

Re: Masterchef 2016

Con's the little short bloke with the beard that smiles a lot. He looks like George with hair. I can't remember a lot of their names. I have to refer to the website sometimes.

 

I think the chocolate took so long to melt due to the quantity. There was something like 30 or 40kg (could have been more). I can melt a kilo in a few minutes for my chocolate cake, but I have the water in the saucepan on full boil, even though they say you should have it on simmer (never ended up with lumpy melted chocolate. They would have been far better doing it in smaller quantities. While the first batch was cooking, the second batch could have been under construction.

 

The best way I've found to melt chocolate is in your mouth. Problem there is, you can't then use it in cooking. Although if you didn't tell anyone, how would they know? LOL.
