I always enjoy this series so much. I'll never forget "shaky Dave" and how it all mattered to him.

zoobizoo · 07-11-2017 08:14PM

The best reality show ...

Nowhere to hide from Monica and Marcus...

twill · 08-11-2017 08:07PM

Missed yesterday's show.

Monica's skills test seems far too complicated. Would love to eat it, though.

dudara · 09-11-2017 07:43AM

I really enjoyed the duck skills test. Seems simple doesn't it, but 5 out of 6 chefs made a haymes of it.

4Ad · 09-11-2017 06:13PM

Jaysus them skills tests are tough..looking at the Indian man trying to make a souffle...cringe..

Meauldsegosha · 09-11-2017 10:26PM

Jamie looks like a good shot to be a finalist at this stage. Mark's down fall was his over confidence. It's a pity because he had real potential.

TheRiverman · 09-11-2017 10:35PM

Give me some boiled Jersey Royals with a dab of butter anytime.

zoobizoo · 09-11-2017 11:04PM

Missed it tonight... Is it repeated or available online?

It's my favourite tv show.

ebbsy · 10-11-2017 07:42AM

Some lads were really strong last night...they will be there at the end.

Bad luck for certain chefs that they had possibly th ed toughest 3 critics.

Great show overall. No farting around. You can either cook on this or you will be buried.

How did the young guy who made the omelette even get that far into the competition/accepted fpr the competition? Even I make a nicer looking omelette than that yoke he dished up

4Ad · 16-11-2017 05:42PM

Cooking for the critics tonight, always entertaining with their sarcastic comments !

tinpib · 16-11-2017 09:02PM

I missed eps 1 but have seen all the rest. No one really standing out. I didn't really follow last year but in 2015 Mark Stinchcombe stood out from the get go. No one like that yet for me.

zoobizoo · 17-11-2017 09:01AM

Early days as it's just the first week and there'll be another twelve next week.

Thought Stephen was the best of this week's batch.

This is the second week.

zoobizoo · 17-11-2017 09:36AM

WTF!!!!

Did I miss a whole week??

Dang

Eyepatch · 19-11-2017 12:33AM

This evenings' decision as to who to eliminate after cooking for the critics, was difficult, as no one stood out over the others. The guy who was finally eliminated had shown most promise in the beginning rounds.

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 08:24PM

Anyone else watching this?

Yesterday's youngfella was only brilliant, may he go far! Not a bit cocky with it either, I really liked him!

This pigeon skills test is just double dutch to me.... (I've only just tuned in)

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 08:27PM

Ants :eek: :eek:

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 08:32PM

Patronising that young girl much???

I loved her, as much for her tidy, meticulously-scraped-back hair as anything

Eyepatch · 22-11-2017 08:33PM

I'm half watching it. The Brazilian guy who put raw and cooked pigeon in the same tray will find it difficult to get through, I'd say.

Ooof - haven't got to that bit yet, but thanks for the tip, might just FF!

I'm still on the hippy dippy young fella..... I wonder if you asked them, would they all say "I wish they'd feck off interviewing me while I'm trying to COOK!"

The same thought crossed my mind too.

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 08:39PM

Jaysus, the private chef hasn't done his CV any favours with that dish!

He's so feminine

I thought it was a girl when he walked in!

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 08:46PM

Jaysus.... three carrots and about half a pound of butter to cook them in :eek::eek:

Oooohhhhhhhhhh...... just got to the raw/cooked bit..... jaysus.......

Exactly my thought! He could be a transsexual - I suppose that's his/her business.

Louisa is on a roll. One to watch out for - and beautiful to boot!

Yep, thought that as well - on both counts!

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 09:02PM

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 · 22-11-2017 09:08PM

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

He's making me rattle here!

HeidiHeidi · 22-11-2017 09:13PM

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

Eyepatch · 22-11-2017 09:19PM

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

zoobizoo · 23-11-2017 08:20PM

Really high standard tonight.

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

zoobizoo · 23-11-2017 08:32PM

And my three favourite judges...

stargazer 68 · 23-11-2017 08:43PM

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

Eyepatch · 29-11-2017 09:16PM

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!

clappyhappy · 30-11-2017 05:10AM

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 · 30-11-2017 10:04AM

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

Eyepatch · 01-12-2017 10:29AM

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 · 01-12-2017 01:47PM

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 · 01-12-2017 03:06PM

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 · 05-12-2017 11:54AM

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 · 06-12-2017 09:53PM

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 · 06-12-2017 09:57PM

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 · 06-12-2017 11:03PM

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

dudara · 06-12-2017 11:06PM

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?
