Masterchef: The Professionals

[traceymrsd]

She was not impressed at being kicked out! She has a face like thunder when that said her name but she was by far the worst tonight

 

[Jelly Bean]

I liked the little bald man last night - Dan?
He seemed really nice and his food looked lovely.

 

[Moongirl69]

I really rate Tom. He's so tough on hìmself it's a shame.
I'm loving Monica being back.

 

[Moongirl69]

Resurrecting the thread in the event anyone else will be watching the new series

 

[Pesky Tarian]

Spoiler: Spoiler

My money was not on Dan purely because I thought the others would be more marketable in the BBCs eyes, but so,so glad he won. You could tell how much the judges liked him, real genuine affection in their reactions at the end .

 

[Moongirl69]

I watched on catch up. Tom was a well deserved winner tonight.

I adore the thread etiquette here guys, it's really quite sweet that everyone spoilers stuff! Not a criticism and not trying to moderate, but we're all in this thread because we're fans so I do think it's okay to post about the show outcomes without spoiler tags!

I'm so so so pleased for Dan, found him so genuinely endearing.

I'm slightly controversially of the view that though it's not absolutely necessary for a third presenter to be there, I do think a sort of 'ally' of the chefs to walk about and do a bit of cheery chat with them and bring out their personalities (plus calling out time left etc.), is not without its value.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Omg terrible decision who went home tonight
Anthony hasn't put one foot wrong until tonight. Whereas Polly has constantly just scraped through. His trifle wasn't great but that was his first sub dish. Polly didn't even do very well at all at the pop up.

I'm not sure if I'm surprised by this or not. I've always thought he comes across like he could have a nasty side to him, especially after that saturday routine tripe he came out with

Correcting someone for using only two Gs in his first name, (when they publicly asked for charity help), made me realise what a piece of work he is.

 

[Jelly Bean]

This just popped up on IG from William Sitwell - might be good!

 

[SJ08]

Feel the complete opposite about Anna. I think she’s coming across really kind and supportive, even when they’ve really messed up she finds a positive somewhere. Also really enjoying her explanation of things, find it really interesting as a non-cook!

 

[traceymrsd]

Shame that she had such a fall from grace, but her face was a picture! She's going to get a shock when she watches and sees how much everyone hates her menu

I thought she would do well but fuck me she was a gobshite! How did she not know that egg gel thing didn't taste right!

There is a few that I really like from this series so far so really looking forward to the next rounds

 

[traceymrsd]

I'm quite surprised about Matt being so wooden, he's usually very natural on his other programmes so he's not coming across great and is barely saying anything! But maybe it's more difficult as it's scripted. Glad Gregg is gone but it definitely feels a bit more serious this series. I'm not a fan of how the skills test has now become "make this random niche recipe I've given you without any instructions" - just give them a classic! Was painful having Philly back...

Yes agree the recipes in either second week were a bit odd - cod collar or something! Id have had to say sorry ill show myself out

 

[SarcasmSpecialist]

£300 for that tasting menu. Off you fuck, mate.

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

I'm surprised Dan isn't...smashing pumpkins

 

[Moongirl69]

Thankfully there is less of Gregg on the Professional version. Don't know why they really need him at all though. Marcus and Monica are fine. Wonder if it pisses him off that Monica only had a small bit part on the earlier days only to overtake his part lol

Agree, there's no need for him on the Pro version. He's an irritant. I start saying " oh stfu Gregg" every time he speaks.

 

[Lurkeryaar]

I would not be able to watch it if Grace Dent is one of the main judges! Agree with Angela hartnett being a good choice.

 

[Mark81]

I like Grace, but I'm not sure she is right to be the second main host.

Agree, the professionals doesn't need a 3rd

 

[Lurkeryaar]

Love Philippe! Not sure he always understands what Gregg is shouting at him but he's great nonetheless!

 

[Moongirl69]

Another Philippe fan here. I'm hoping he and Tom are in the final 3.
I really can't warm to Kyle at all.
