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.

I didn't notice if Elise was "really freaking out" last night. She seems to "really freak out" a lot. I was hoping she's end up in elimination. I'm happy that Theresa is there though.

Working tonight so won't see the elimination (unless I manage to have a late dinner break again), so will check in here later tonight and see who loses their head this week.

I'm happy Theresa is there too.    Hoping she's the one to go.

I think the media managers must have been in Theresa's ear since she returned.

No mention of her kids and how she's doing it all for them, etc. Ad nauseam

[imastawka]

Or it's all in the editing.

Has Matt even mentioned his wife?   I had to look him up to see what the go

was with the wedding ring.

Maybe I dozed off the one time he mentioned her.     Or they don't get on,   lol

[davewil1964]

You'd be pushing to find 3 minutes of TV time for half the top 10. Elise didn't even rate before top 12.....

Nooooooooooooo......................my Heather is gone. 

She was capable of much more but just didn't perform on that one dish.

I'm shattered.

[davewil1964]

And Theresa managed to muddle through, once again.

The only positive is that the competition is getting fiercer and she will surely fall before the last hurdle.

I couldn't believe that Matt, given blue and decided seafood, didn't go for blue swimmer crabs. I don't eat crustacean, but that shouted out to me. A perfect combination of his strengths and the brief.

[*tippy*toes*]

I'm not disappointed Kitty Sullivan has gone, although I would have much preferred it to be Theresa. Fingers crossed it will be her or Elise next time.

Hope it's Chloe or Theresa next time.  And why didn't Chloe mention to the judges,

when they mentioned an indigo plate - there wasn't one there!

Trouble with blue swimmer crabs is, they go red when cooked.

I know Matt doesn't do desserts, but what was wrong with blueberries?

And why put the 'rock pool'  in a yellow bowl, and not a blue one

Heston's chocolate mousse is worth remembering

[davewil1964]

I doubt it would have mattered what colour they turned out - a BLUE swimmer crab would have fit the brief.

A plate would hardly have fit the brief; they were supposed to evoke the colour.

Heston's mousse, though time consuming, is brilliant.
