Masterchef 2016

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]

on the swaying.

Quite agree with the rest.

Tonights episode, much as expected and gee Matt is chef material. He should be in the final.

The expected person leaves. Did some great dishes but it was time.

I chose Matt as my fave in the beginning and he hasn't disappointed

with his cooking skills.

Hope he's there at the end.  He's working hard and deserves it

[kopenhagen5]

I know you did and I picked Heather. She doesn't seem as committed though.

Would be funny if it was Matt n Heather in final.

[imastawka]

I don't mind Heather, but she does remind me of Kitty Sullivan.

Keep expecting to see ankle socks and Mary Jane shoes

But I love the way they have the website set up.

If you click on their image, it gives their bio and all their recipes that they've

cooked.

Brilliant

I worked on Thurs night, but didn't get dinner until late, so only saw the end of it (I had the TV to myself for a change!). I saw the last dish being tasted, not sure who's that was, then missed a bit because I was trying to heat my food up and make a cuppa. The next bit I saw was when the boys went bounding back to the pack.

Out of the remaining 2, I really wished it was Elise who went. Karmen certainly wasn't one of my favourites, but she ran rings around Elise in the kitchen. Elise's days are numbered. I think the only reason she's still there is because she'd look good on the cover of a magazine.

What a terrific episode tonight. Great idea and well done from all cooks. 

Some better than others of course.

And tippy, your wish may come true.

Trent n Elise are probably the weaker ones left as well as Theresa.

Looks like contestants are slowly joining the other two for an elimination cook later in the week.

Who thinks of this stuff?

Who would think you could put a restaurant in the Starwheel?

Just as an aside.   That wheel was built in the wrong place.

The views aren't all that good of the city.  All you see are rooftops

and building sites.  And that horrible Bolte Bridge.

It should have been put somewhere just out of the city - like Albert Park for instance.

Elise just totally lost her mind IMO

[imastawka]

Savoury ice cream?          Really?

Gazpacho as an icy pole maybe.       Prawn cocktail is pushing it, but acceptable

But the rest? 

[davewil1964]

The brief was savoury icecream. How the teams fulfilled it was variable. But the brief was savoury icecream, regardless of your (or my) personal prejudices.

i certainly wouldn't queue up for savoury icecream, even for nix, which appeared to be the case. No matter how hot it was.

But I'm not judging how well the brief of savoury icecream was fulfilled.

[kopenhagen5]

Yeah an unusual treat for the palate. Not my cup of tea either.

In one of our stores we have stocked ice cream with potato chips and it's selling very well so the consumer market can be a mysterious place.

I liked tonights cook at Ripponlea. 

A suitable challenge and some great dishes presented.

Once again the obvious person joined the others for elimination so the competition seems to be heading down a semi predictable path.
