The editing is so bad.....no cooking, I've learnt nothing tonight other than Dylan's Mammy is dodgy on the carrots....

Their is some quirky editing tonight alright!

Very weak Con

What's the story with cleaning up? With the mess that some create, do the contestants have to clean up after themselves or were people hired to clean up after them does anyone know?

Yeah, I like the format of the rounds and I like the judges. You have to record it so you can forward through the australian ad break link up bits.

set it to record a 7am no 2 pm
7am two add brakes

Now, this is a decent challenge for the contestants.

Ha! The reactions now are priceless with Sinead

Con's spare ribs don't look so great........

Birdsong

my first thought when he gave Nisha the tail was that it was probably a delicey in her home country & then turns out she cooked before it before

I sincerely hope that the "personalised feedback" given was more than was shown on the telly :eek: Focus and vision is all I remember hearing - not sure how constructive that would be.

And yes, bizarre editing - very difficult to watch after watching the BBC one just beforehand.

Nasty, nasty challenge this one!

Oh, I'd agree.......Birdsong..........I know nothing about MC but Nicha is, imo, "the teachers pet".....just show us some handy tips......:rolleyes:

HeidiHeidi

lol - Sinead managed to stun the pair of them into complete silence!

Birdsong

i think fidelma could be the dark horse, she has been consistanley & quietly moving through the competition & i don't remember her getting any negative comment

Not my favourite episode to date & I got easily distracted elsewhere on boards tonight. Maybe next Thursday will be better.

Nothing strange there........The camera men and editing made it so obvious...........:(.......

Not exacting nail biting..............

DenMan

Disappointed to see Con go tonight. Had high hopes for him to win. Thought Sinead was a gonner. Hope she improves. Roll on next week.

Its like they are in an army camp, with the walking in straight lines and being told to exit through the masterechef doors

Ah come on now. They were given one dish, the ingredients, shown exactly how to do it, had a practice run and a chef looking over their shoulder the whole time. I'd be fairly confident that someone who isn't a complete idiot and has never cooked a thing in their life could do it.

I doubt if a restaurant like Locks in Portabello would let them wash the dishes.

Emeraldy Pebbles

Glad that Tamarin upped her game last night, as she had been flagging but does have loads of talent. Her dish did look yummers.

Sad to see Conn go, and can't believe Sinéad stayed!

P. Breathnach

I think we don't get enough information to allow us to make a reasonable judgement of how the contestants are performing. That's down to an editorial approach that I think is ill-judged (I edited my sentence as I was composing: "editorial policy" didn't seem to fit).

I'm fairly sure that we are being given a selective and somewhat distorted view of each participant.

No doubt.

Just watched last night's episode. Sinead is really coasting and needs to go. Conn had a terrible weekend, it's a pity cos he seemed promising at the start.

I have some questions for Spenny and Terry

1. How long is there between finishing cooking, and the judges getting to taste the food? I always imagine it must be ages with the camera crew having to get their shots of the dishes. Are they cold when they get to the judges? Or are they kept at an appropriate temperature? Surely the food is compromised be drying out/getting cold?

2. Do the judges get a new set of cutlery for every dish they taste?

3. Where did you stay during filming? Did you all get on? Any nights out together?


Thanks!

Cienciano

Only watching tonight too. No idea why, I don't like the show! It should be good, but I can't stand the judges, and lack of actually cooking talk on the show is unreal. The the judges couldn't be any more useless if they tried.

John_Rambo

Half way through the replay now as I was carrying out some important Guinness tasting on Thursday. I really like Fidelma, intelligent, great attitude, heaps or talent, very daring... She's also very unfussy, quiet and undramatic unlike some of the contestants!

When others were getting compliments from the judges you could see her in the background beaming away. She obviously gets pleasure out of others doing well.

John_Rambo

She just presented the terrine, the egg was soft. Well done.

John_Rambo

I guess it's just me watching the replay then.
