Thanks.

Working. Started at 9.30am, hoping to finish at 6pm so I could watch MC. Got home at 5.20am. I think I missed it lol!

YAY!  Zoe's gone. I was hoping it would be her that went.

I was also wondering when the evictees would be back to try for a second chance. I didn't think it would be tomorrow! Not sure who I'd want to come back, but I know who I don't want to come back.

[kopenhagen5]

Yeah I think Zoe was the one with the least experience and general know-how in the kitchen.

Does that always happen ? Evictees coming back for a chance ?

[davewil1964]

it has recently.

I reckon once they're gone that should be it. Especially when they lose the individual challenges - they've failed twice in a row to achieve that.

[*tippy*toes*]

They did for the last 2 years I've watched it. I think it's a bit unfair that they do it because they got evicted fair and square. I don't think it's fair on the others that are left, because they have worked harder to stay there (or just been lucky).

I also think it's unfair because those that get evicted after this week don't get the chance to have a second go.

[davewil1964]

It also means there will be 13 for the team challenge this week. Doesn't work that well. Or subsequent weeks unless they do a double elimination.

[imastawka]

Boy. am I glad Zoe's gone!    Hope she doesn't get back in.

Dunno who I want back.   Haven't given it that much thought.

It is unfair for the ones that are left.   And the odd numbers will be hard

to put into teams, like Dave said.

[kopenhagen5]

Yeah, I think it a somewhat contradictory to bring them back.

But I guess if I wanted anyone back, as much as I am not keen on him, Jimmy Wong appears to have great skills and technique in cooking.

[davewil1964]

I'm trying to understand how they reconcile "amateur, no experience in commercial cooking" with half of them having worked in commercial kitchens since they were eliminated. A level of experience which would not allow them to enter the competition in the first place.
