masterchef the professionals

Who will be watching? Started seeing ads for it on TV, but can't find any info about when it will start.

It was Marco's fault that Cassie burned the chocolate. He called them all together to give them a talk about finding inconsistencies without looking for them blah blah blah. After the talk Cassie returned to her stove to find that the pot of chocolate had boiled and was overflowing. If she was at the stove and watching over the chocolate, it would not have burned.

I like Bonny, but I think she is way out of her depth in the remaining group. Luke too.

[j*oono]

Yes, she's out.  That is a shame.  At least she will have a written reference from Marco Pierre White which will get her a long way in her career.

That's true Moonlight but she probably should have taken it off the heat.

I have to think of a new favourite now!

she was never very happy about having to do the dessert anyhow, seems like she drew the short straw wasn't really given a choice with the others taking the other courses.  but I guess the ones who seem to do well,  are adaptable and multiskilled.  in past series, people who are not good at deserts often fall when they get to one of those challenges.

I am sure she will have a bright future ahead of her in the industry, with plenty of publicity now from the show and making top 10 at such a young age.

I think the final 3 will be Rhett, Nick and Sarah. They're the best of the remaining lot.

[0z_girl]

well two of my early predictions cassie and akuc have bombed out already

rhett and nick still there.

I like rhys too

so many males in the final 9, only 2 girls left! if bonny goes (which I think she will as well), sarah will be the only one left to fly the flag for the girls

[j*oono]

Coop has gone.  I didn't think that he could make it through but it was still sad.

Nick is really good so I'm saying now that it will be Nick Sarah and ?  Not sure yet.

[moonlyte]

Coop has gone.

He's flown the coop.

[syrupsmummy]

I'm sad to see Coop go.

Nick did great job. His dish looked really yummy.

[moonlyte]

I enjoyed this ep. Making them run around and asking strangers for food was fun. Also good to see the public and their houses. Being outside in suburbia is always fun.

Luke's dish looked disgusting. He had absolutely no idea what he really wanted to cook - did he not have any idea of how it would end up looking? Bonny really made herself look amateurish by not knowing that oil caramelizes the meat - she was just cooking the meat try and burning it. And then she didn't know how to make the cooked meat better, having to ask Luke and Rhett for advice - did she have no idea of how it would end up looking? What was her plan, cook burnt meat and then ask for help on how to make it look good? She & Luke let the team down badly.

Nathan likes to deconstruct things, and seems to get it more right than not. If only he would chop his frock at the front. He bends over the food and it droops so low I keep thinking the oily hair has to make contact with the food at some stage. And then he runs his hands over it to pull it back, and gets oil and sweat from the hair on his hands, and then touches food. What chef has long hair falling over their face? Why not tie it into a pony tail or wear that black thing like Luke?

Rhett...man is this guy arrogant. Just the way he talks and the things he says. He a massive ego.

The winning team will fight it out for an immunity pin, but the losing team should have fought it out to remain in the competition. Basically there is no penalty for team losing the challenge, so there was never any real pressure on any of them to win.

One last thing - it was poorly planning on the producer's part to not set up the tents in advance. All they had to so was watch the weather on TV to know that it was gonna rain heavily. Why make the chefs cook in the rain for a while?
