That fella who develops cheesecakes for a supermarket I reckon is one to watch!

(have to see if he pulls it off, mind you!)

Agree! Seems very confident.

HeidiHeidi

Jesus, the Brazilian guy got the shakes pretty bad :eek:

He's making me rattle here!

HeidiHeidi

Jaysus Marcus, tell that poor young fella what you really think, why don't you.....

Eyepatch

There was little or no hope he'd get through after that faux pas. They couldn't risk it.

Really high standard tonight.

Yep...these last 4 are very good..I love the critics table !

zoobizoo

And my three favourite judges...

I thought Stephen last week was excellent but these guys are too

Eyepatch

Anyone watching tonight? Six more chefs. Some outstanding chefs. The skills test was sheeps' sweetbreads. One guy, Matt, had the best ever skills test and the best ever followup dish that the judges had ever experienced on Master Chef. Most of them were cooking things in three different ways. Really for the Professionals!

Another quarter-final tomorrow!

He is really talented, considering his age and the fact that he is a private chef. Marcus said it was the best signature dish ever in masterchef. You just knew the girl was going to go, when she said I like to serve salty food........

Eyepatch

It must have been extremely salty, when Monica actually gagged at the taste and refused to eat it.

Eyepatch

Matt is amazing. Apart from his obvious talent and originality, he is so cool. No sign of pressure or being flustered. Headed to be overall winner, by the looks of it!

zoobizoo

Really wanted the slightly sick looking lad from Liverpool to do well.

And poor Tasso.... Really wanted to see what was coming next from him.

Are contestants allowed to re enter the following year.... Would be great to see how people improve across twelve months.

reap-a-rat

Yeah I agree with Tasso - if he had nailed the cheesecake I think he would have cooked up a storm in the critics round. Was devastated for him.

I agree Matt seems the likely winner so far, but everything can change in knock out week

clappyhappy

Looking forward to the next few weeks, we'll see the cream rising to the top and hopefully it won't be a foregone conclusion as who is the obvious winner.

HeidiHeidi

Very impressed with young Louisa..... she seems very quietly determined, and incredibly talented.

Looking forward to seeing more of the eye candy that is Matt

Don't think I've ever seen a team of pros or amateurs work together like they did tonight.... or a round of plates as flawless as they all threw up in the second half - I'm just glad it wasn't me trying to judge it!

stargazer 68

Have to say at the start of the episode I really didn't think she should have been in the top 10. Eating my words Now!

Eyepatch

I'm hoping Louisa and Matt will be there to the end.

That was a tough judging tonight. No one deserved to go home.

I can’t help but think...what if tomorrow’s team are pants? Would they get rid of two and bring James back? Have they ever done that kind of thing before?

Exactly that thought occurred to me! I really thought this would be one of the nights where they said "You're all going through"!

It's hard to imagine as good a round tomorrow evening, and if more than one of them fecks it up it'll have been very rough luck on James.

dudara

Last night's show stopper round was no where as good as the previous night. Really feeling for James now

zoobizoo

It's one of the failings of the show that they don't judge the ten against each other rather than splitting it in to two groups of five

It's one of my only criticisms of the programme. Well, that and having Gregg as a judge.

Ah! Don't be too hard on Gregg. There's a bit of the "Everyman" about him, IMO.

HeidiHeidi

Jeepers, Matt is away out there with the fairies!!! :eek:

That round was so far below the previous night's in standard it's not funny. If I were the fella who was kicked off (whose name escapes me), I'd be severely pissed off.

Eyepatch

My top three now, from the remaining eight, are Matt, Louisa and Craig. Matt, IMO, is totally amazing. I love the idea of attempting to get popular flavours by using alternative, healthier options. Making a sugar-free dessert can be quite challenging.

HeidiHeidi

Who's in tonight?

Have to say I'm rooting for the young'uns, esp Louisa as the last girl standing (from quite some time back!)

HeidiHeidi

There's an awful lot of dead relatives inspiring tonight's dishes :eek:

HeidiHeidi

Oh Christ, I SOOOOOOOOOO want that fish'n'chips!!!!!!

(and Stephen definitely wins the smiliest contestant contest, hands down )

HeidiHeidi

Oh Louisa :eek:
