    Ooof, that was harsh!

    Thought they might base it on the overall last few rounds, in which case I think Louisa would have gone.

    Shocked to see Jamie fall at that hurdle!

    I thought he was a strong contender. Amazing how chefs of his and Matt's calibre didn't make it to the last three this year.

    It really is a case of "you're only as good as your last dish"!

    His tart was very simple, and not perfect.

    I'd say he'll kick himself from here to 2019 for choosing that to do at this stage of the competition!

    He and Matt both made tactical mistakes, but it just shows how high the standard is this year. Usually a really good chef is given some leeway when they slip up, but there was simply no room for that this time.

    I'd really love to know how much time they were given to figure out their concept and the look of their dishes....

    Like, what time were they at the market, how much prep time did they have, what time did they start cooking?

    Hah! You wait for months and months to eat at yer man's snazzy restaurant, and you wind up with amateurs cooking for you!

    Well, "amateurs".......

    Oooh, Monica looks a bit odd without her glasses!

    Jaysus, he's a bit (a lot) of a stickler for details :eek:

    Jeepers, that forest dish looks absolutely gorgeous!

    All the seafood and fish I could take or leave (probably leave, if I'm honest) but that looked amazing!

    Thought it odd how Jamie was kicked out. Technically they should count yesterday and today for that round.

    If so Louisa was the weakest over the two rounds IMO.

    The meals at the restaurant were mind-boggling in their beauty, but rather light, over all. It was more like a tasting menu.

    Nevertheless, I'd say we'll see a lot of influences, from this experience among the contestants, in tomorrow's menus.

    For me, the winner today was Craig. Of the three, he seemed to have picked up the concept behind this cooking, the best of all three contestants - "the sea, the garden and the muountain". Wonderful!

    They did say, at the start, that someone would leave, based on that round. Jamie, unfortunately got a bad response from the judges, compared to the others. Stephen seemed to win that round.

    With the three dishes that the others cooked any mistake was likely to be crushed.

    And Jamie made a few with that tart.

    OK. I didn't get that as I missed the first 10 minutes. Fair enough so, he was the poorest of the four.

    So the intro's took over 20 minutes and we find out that Craig's Dad is Irish, or Northern Irish and that Louisa was badly bullied in school.

    Greggg is dressed like something out of Miami Vice.

    And the food sounds class. Hard to say who will win, but doubt it's Louisa, the two lads are usually a bit ahead of her.

    Gutted wanted Louisa or Stephen to win. Never warmed to Craig throughout the series.
