I’d be interested to know the selection process for chefs appearing. I would think it’s a prestigious competition that could do a lot to assist a chef’s career if they did well but this year quite a few have really limited experience and knowledge. It feels like they’ve wanted to choose people to tick diversity boxes - age, gender, ethnicity - rather than talent.

Definitely odd to do it the other way around, I reckon she knows she's good so can do well on this, but isn't quite good enough for GBM...
Also agree that the first episode this week's standard was very poor!
I thought this too. I know Adam Handling did MasterChef then went on to win GBM several years later. Have there been any other crossovers?
I really liked her on GBM so want to see her do well but I do wonder how much of an unfair advantage it is to have already been through the TV production process, cooked in a studio environment etc. She definitely seemed to have a level of confidence and composure way above the other contestants. But then maybe that's just because she's really good!
Larkin who was on regular MasterChef went on GBM before and did quite well if I recall!
Is Evan old enough to be a contestant? He looks about 15
What are those dumpling gnocchi things called? Nudies? Never heard of them.
Gnudi. I’ve made them before although the recipe I followed didn’t have semolina so they were very light. For anyone interested it was an Oliver Rowe recipe and there is a video on YouTube of him making them:

He looks about 12!
& He doesn't need to lean over a naked flame with that Justin Bieber haircut
He looks like he should be accompanied by an adult!
Pretty good cook though.
Thought he was a little cocky on the skills test but he definitely proved himself in the next round
poor kidReally nice contestants tonight. And good food so far.
Dani's food seems amazing.

Not sure how I feel about contestants being on British Menu first. Should be other way round
Pippa get that hair tied up away from your face!
So unhygienic

I can’t help wonder if she will try again on menu. Maybe she is MC to try and pick up some tips which she can take back to GB menu?Not sure how I feel about contestants being on British Menu first. Should be other way round
Chiara is really overly confident and annoying. But very good. Unfortunately.
Does Grace Dent not have a home to go to? She's there permanently.

Agree she's really good but there was something irritating about her 
Chiara is really getting on my nerves.
Oh good they don't like it
Dan and Gaston are really stand out good.
