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.

And then there were 3.

Go Emelia.......................even though Reynold is superb in desserts................emelia has shown to be a great all-rounder.

Reynold has been putting up a lot of savoury dishes lately.

None of them have any real weaknesses or they wouldn't be in the finals.

[kopenhagen5]

You're right but he seems to lack some of the basics a great home cook has with a French flair..............such as Emelia has.

Go Emelia  YAY

[davewil1964]

They're all working chefs this time around, kopes. None of them qualify as 'home' cooks.

They all actually run their own businesses, although Laura is the only one to have a restaurant.

[kopenhagen5]

I guess I mean a home cook as in know the basics.........most biscuits n cakes, breads, pastas, classic dishes, sauces, etc.

Reynold to me has gone straight for fine dining without the foundations.

Last night was rigged. It should have been a blind tasting. I think it's very suspect that Jock was Laura's former boss. A conflict of interest if you ask me. I'd like to see Emelia win out of that pair, but I suspect it will be Laura. Then the same outrage will begin like it did over the Voice. I dont watch that, but apparently Guy Sebastian's brother won.

I'm working tonight, and really not that interested in watching, given it's obvious who they have chosen to be the winner.

[davewil1964]

Reynold lost because he winged part of it instead of following the recipe.

He's been in enough pressure tests to know how they work, so it shouldn't have been a surprise to him.

[kopenhagen5]

Go Emelia............

[davewil1964]

I agree that they should be blind tastings.

The final tonight is more of the same.

Instead of 3 challenges, blind tasted and individually scored, it's one challenge where the judges know who cooked what.
