Oh, I LOVE it as well. I googled the winner so know who wins (I have no patience). I like the judges as well and normally in the British shows I can't stand the judges.

I'm watching season one on RTE :P Think I'll try and catch season 3 online over the summer if I can!

But ya, I don't want to ruin the ending of season 1 for myself so I'm trying to prevent myself from googling the winner (such a long wait!).
Go André :P

I caved in and googled it during the week

Not giving away the winner but using tags anyway here just in case my reaction gives it away

I was very surprised by who won

Amazing the production that goes into it compared to the other versions, like an episode every day when it's shown in Oz. Major money spent on it from the looks of it. Is season 3 the same ?? The Irish version isn't even on yet and already I have a feeling it will be a disappointment after seeing the Australian one, even though I preferred the presenters on the UK one.

God I hate him , he even has the worst "thing" in the intro and he thinks he's bad ass for growing that fail of a beard. It's hilarious that they still show all of the contestants in that bit at the start (Katy Perry wrote the song by the way ) , every time i see it i'm like who the hell was that ? were they in it ?

I'm guessing he doesn't win so :P haha! Hmmmmm.. Andre seems unlikely too Really want him to win! Julie wrecks my head too. Gah! But the judges lovvvvve her. We'll see.

And I know. I only really started watching it when yer man Josh left. So I'm just like "eh ya... who are you?" :pac:

Same!

I wanted Po to win but I thought it was going to be Chris

I've been watching it way too much these days, that dessert today looked so hard

soccymonster

The panacotta?
It looked so hard!

When it was between Andre and Sam today, I was nearly sweating. But yay, Go Andre

He's so cute, aaaahh. it wouldn't be the same without him tbh.

Put it in spoilers, just incase. Although I probably don't need to for the mostpart but whatever.

calex71

These shows a really not good for my mental health , I'm off all things yummy after a recent cholesterol check.

Watching today's desert on RTE was pure torture while eating my "lovely" rice cakes

Sam getting the boot made up for it though.

Mr E

I've split the RTÉ Season 1 discussion away from the the Aussie Season 3 thread.

calex71

Thanks Mr.E

I'm wondering will RTé keep running with this over the summer and show season 2 aswell? I hope they do.

About time too!! Loving the series - didnt read all the thread in case I got a clue who won - Ive been watching since it started and dont want to ruin it. What am I going to do with my afternoons when it finishes!!!

soccymonster

NO, NOT ANDRE!! literally sped home after my chemistry exam to just catch the end where he got the boot

Watch are showing season 2 right now early in the morning (6am or thereabouts), but not sure how far they're into it.

I know
Chris was so smug about it too, ugh.

Terrible considering the muck Chris served up to the vip guests at the dinner party :mad:

soccymonster

I hate chris :mad: Think it's between the 3 girls to win. Not sure about lucas and julia (is that her name?). If I were to place a bet, i'd say poh will win it. But seriously, how am I supposed to continue watching without andre :pac:
it's a conspiracy I tell you!

Namlub

I love Poh It's weird, that Lucas guy hasn't been in it for ages and he hasn't done any of the tasks but he's in the final

calex71

Oh yeah, I forgot there was all the ones that beat the pro chef to come back for the final week. They really should have been there all alone and just been immune from elimination I thought.

Mr E

Yeah that wasn't the best idea. They change that from season 2 onwards. When you win against the pro-chef now, you get an immunity pin that you can use to bypass one single immunity challenge. Makes much more sense.

calex71

Wow the rubbish they produced for $10 was unreal for finals week, except Po's which looked lovely. Justine cooking an omelette I could feed myself for 3 days on a 10er and a chef I ain't

Fed up with the Masterclass episodes now - just get on with the competition!

Yeah, I tend to skip the Masterclasses myself.

No excitement in them!

soccymonster

Ok so julia is reeeally good. Better than I thought she'd be :P
it really wasn't the same without andre (i'll stop whining about him going now but still ).
Poh to win!!

Girlfriend was watching this when I arrived home from work..

.. must have gotten it directly from Watch as they have the uber dodgy music ("Turn the heat up.. baby we're on fire.. so COME ON!") over the intro / closing titles.

For those who don't know.. Katy Perry's "Hot And Cold" is the theme music used in Oz but there's issues in getting the rights for it internationally.

Oh, I was going to mention how cheesy the theme music is compared to the English one The intro with all the contestants doing the 'Oh, I see you've caught me icing cupcakes/dropping a red substance into a bowl while looking sinister' thing is pretty cringey anyway...

Seemingly Chris and Julia (chick with eyebrows) are now an item. They were the challenger on Oz ironchef. Don't know how they got on though.

I really like the masterclasses. I often learn something although they can be a bit ridiculous at times. The koftas and stuffed squid are fab and always a hit.

He must be twice her age :eek: She'd be even too young for me and Chris has over 10 years on me

Beautiful girl though, either the others are midgets or she is super tall, guess with Chris wears the hat to compensate for the difference in height I guess :pac:

Just started watching season 3 online and I was so sad to see the cringey music gone
I loved singing along to it :pac: Hot and cold just doesnt feel right!
