Masterchef 2020

[kopenhagen5]

Anyone watching it ?

Great to see some earlier faces and good memories.

I always liked Jess, Callum, and Reynold.

Very smart to have Gordon Ramsay kick it off seeing as the old judges are no longer with the show.

Looks like some interesting recipes to start off with.

He was an adult when he posted those views.

I still won't be able to view him the same, sorry.............. but not sorry.

Taken out of context?

Did you read the link?

They were his own posts - not quotes by a journalist.

I was responding as a general comment to daves general comment, as in - 

We all say things we don't really believe when young, things posted for sensationalism, and taken out of context are all problems in social media.

This happens very often whether the media get involved or not.

(Not being specific to this case as I haven't read his comments).

I should have made it clear my comment wasn't about what Reynold said.

Reynold is back pedalling fast now.

There are too many gays, of either gender, on Masterchef this year, to let his comments ride.

I'm very disappointed that he ever held the view that gays are freaks.

'I wish the world made a united decision where they will capture all gay people and put them on a remote island full of gays, that way straight ppl (people) will be happy and the freaks can go on and f** themselves,'

More than disappointed, really.

Callum, Reynold and Brendan in the first heat of a cook-off for immunity.

My money is on Callum or Reynold.

It was indeed a shock elimination.

But this report is disturbing.

Looking at Reynold will not be the same now.

You really are a stawka, aren't you.  just try to enjoy life maybe?

[imastawka]

I don't even know what you mean by that.

And what does my ID have to do with it?

The item came up in my news feed.

[kopenhagen5]

He played it smart, hats off to him.

Such a nice fellow as well.

Spoiler

Yay Callum. 

[imastawka]

Nice of you to put a spoiler in, Kopes.  Thank you.

But, like I said I won't come in here until I'm caught up, so go ahead and chat amongst yourselves.

Good strategy by Callum

Different tests for the second wave tonight, so should be interesting
