    I was a bit late joining switching on. The guy with the mackerel looks like he is not having a good day.

    You had a very adventurous dish, it must have been hard to get used to different equipment than you are used to.

    i cooked thats dish only once before and it was a disaster - nothing on the plate after 1hr! About 19 cooking processes there - over-egged it bigtime! Was afraid I'd be bringing a knife to a gun-fight, if u know what I mean?

    I got you last week we had a guy that did steak and chips, some thought it was too easy but he cooked it well and got through. It's a hard one to guess especially on your first cook off.

    I'm delighted you got through, more to look forward to.:):):)

    Well done, Rebel!

    The woman, who put nothing on the plate, must really have lost her nerve. She seemed to be doing fairly okay, even if she did have problems with the equipment.

    I wasn't paying attention, did she finish her ice cream? I couldn't understand why she didn't serve up at least the ice cream and brittle, but maybe there was a problem there too?

    God they're so RUDE!!!

    Not a single encouraging word for anyone, and not even tasting that guys food was completely out of order :mad:

    This programme is such a total downer, couldn't be more different from the UK version if they tried. Not sure I'll be able to stick it out (although I'll make a special effort until/if Rebel is sent home :D)

    And well done Rebel for getting through, hope you survive the kitchen ordeal as well!

    Wasn't there another poster on here hinting that (s)he was a contestant :confused:

    ETA - oh, and the clunky editing again - woman says she'll be so disappointed if she goes home after one episode, she wants to learn loads, but all she'll have learned is "how to get here" - and then she doesn't even get a plate out - oh puhlease. My seven-year-old nephew could be less obvious than that!

    (but my sympathies to the lady, she handled it very well, must have been mortifying!)

    Yeah I think so. Time can really run away with you. She was really unlucky and should be commended for attempting an ice-cream in 1 hour! I spoke to her before and after the task and she really knows her stuff about food. I was really disappointed for her - the dish sounded lovely too.

    Fully agree, she was a great girl, and very dignified too. She could do with another run at with another dish.

    Well done rebel for getting through last night!

    I thought your dish sounded and looked great!

    Again, what a lot of people don't realise when watching the show is that Dylan & Nick taste the dishes when they are completely cold and have been hanging around for quite some time, hence why they lose their visual appeal to an extent! When I discovered this I used it to my advantage in last year's series, there's no point trying to warm things up on only 2 hobs if they are going to be tasted cold. Also there was no need to warm up plates in the oven!

    Good luck in tonight's challenge Rebel!

    I enjoyed last night. She should have put the ice cream and the brittle up rather than nothing at all!

    Haven't worked out which one you are yet - haven't read all the posts. Although I have to say one contestant is a bit tasty - tastier than his food seemingly! :D:p

    I think that lady is a bit of a perfectionist - so it was all or nothing! She may have had only the brittle to show as at the five minute mark, her ice-cream had not frozen. Maybe she will come on here and tell us about her experiences.

    Even if she had shown just the brittle, it would have been better than nothing - but in the heat of the moment, we can make strange decisions!

    Best of luck to that lady. At least she has had the experience!

    From my memory the ice-cream hadn't set, but the sponge/cake also wasn't cooked either - I think she assumed that she had correctly set the oven at temperature/setting but it wasn't? (I may be wrong though). The kitchen crew typically will have ice-cream churning bowls in the freezer already cold, but with hot studio lights etc..., this gets negated quickly. Ihave made ice cream hundreds of times before - and to ensure a result in those conditions within 1 hour (remember you have to cook and cool the custard first) is to have the machine running for 30 mins before churning, so that the bowl/reciever in the actual machine is super chilled too. It is still a risk, especially with a machine that you are not familiar with. - my thoughts

    Am I right in thinking that you guys just basically had to assemble the plates in the restaurant services? All the elements were already prepared?

    Not that I'm underestimating that for one minute! I wouldn't last ten minutes!!! :D

    ETA - duh, no sooner had I posted this than I see the girl cooking scallops. It's been a long day, please ignore me.
    Gah, and Rebel cooking hake. I really do apologise!

    Oh, could they be more supercilious if they tried about Bill's dish?

    How is it any worse than a beef salad, which they practically raved about?

    Seriously, I know I'm repeating myself, and I'll have to stop watching if I find myself wanting to post this every week.

    But they really need to learn some manners, the pair of them :mad:

    All the contestents did really well tonight, ye were well able to keep yer cool in the professional kitchen, although I thought Bill struggled abit at the start, it seemed like he had to overcome the nerves.

    All the beef dishes looked great. If I saw the beef heart presented like that I would have tried it definitely:).
