Masterchef 2016

[kopenhagen5]

Anyone watching it ?

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

Thanks.

[kopenhagen5]

Really, that surprises me.

Such a brand as Masterchef, you would think have dotted their I's and crossed their T's.

Perhaps some contestants have worked in a professional kitchen but not in a professional capacity.

Therefore considered amateurs.

[davewil1964]

My point is that people have been disqualified for it, yet at least 4 of these hopefuls have worked in kitchens since elimination. if you consider work experience as work, which I do.

Unlike the 12 who stayed.

[imastawka]

You make a valid point Dave.

There's no way Theresa had that amount of knowledge when she was eliminated

She did work experience with Reynold, and that seems to have sealed the deal.

Now the other 12 have to compete with that.

Personally, I thought her plating looked messy.

Not as messy as Cecilia's - and they raved about her plating

Must just be me

Chloe and Nicolette ought to be hog tied and horse whipped.

Why, oh why would you not listen to Curtis?  FGS!!!

They deserve to be in an elimination.

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

Got to agree with you stawka- what do you think- was it arrogance?

I wouldnt mind if it was byebye Nicolette tonight..and while we are on last night ep- what was going on with that duck??Ewww looked rubbery and cold...

Id say those 2 were very very ducky lucky that it wasnt the 3 lowest teams..to go into elimination..

[imastawka]

An abundance of arrogance to think they knew better.

And it was Chloe leading the charge.

I'd rather Chloe went  (unless she stops swaying like a 3yo, then I'll let her stay)   hahahahaha

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

Oops..youre right, the swaying is distracting.

If a judge suggests something to you, and clearly rationalizes it- like Curtis did, its a degustation meal, you have a hot, slightly heavy dessert to finish..why oh why wouldnt you take a few minutes and make some changes? I I thought Curtis was going to breathe fire..

(and, was there something up with George last night? he looked quite fierce, hardly smiled and said so few words...)

[imastawka]

Wasn't just me then.

I thought he looked like he was gunna throw up at the sight of

a couple of courses

[*tippy*toes*]

I think the selection tonight was pretty unfair. They clearly liked Chloe and Trent's food the best, yet they saved Elise? I said to Mr Tippy at the start that Elise is one of the precious beautiful group so they'll do whatever they can to keep her, and here we are.

Out of the 2 left, I'd rather see Nicolette go. I think she's got the capability to end up in the top 5 and even to win the whole thing, but she's really starting to annoy me more.

I only got to see the last 5 minutes of Theresa getting back in on Tuesday. I switched on when her and Cecilia were standing at the front. I was hoping to be home from Sydney by 7.30, but it was 8.40pm when we walked through the door. I'm glad Cecilia didn't get back in. I would have preferred Jimmy over Theresa because he's quite clever, but the winner could have been a lot worse.

I agree with what Dave said too about them doing work experience since leaving. They shouldn't have been allowed to compete again because it gives them an unfair advantage.

[kopenhagen5]

I am soooo glad Trent came up with a winning dish. Good on him.

Nicolette had to go sooner than later. Only 19 years old but done well to stay in the competition.

And to have won an immunity pin, not an easy feat.

Down to the final 11.
