I ❤ Philippe

Every time they to to get him to do a panic, he is just all Gallic shrug.
OMG will you have time to make 25 beignets? 😲😲😲😲
Eh bouf. I just cut them in half. Voilà!

'But Phillippe some are raw in the middle'
'Ah yes that is often a good thing'

I'm pleased the Friday episode is an hour long - it used to be half an hour. But a long watch on Friday is nice.

excellent standard this year and really worthy winner totally called it from the start! I liked Anna as well.

Well I just finished the final and disappointed for Luke who was my winner. Haven’t been keen on Gareth, found him a bit smug and insincere. Totally agree with the comments that it was nailed on for him to win from the start of the episode. You can weirdly often tell from the editing who the winner will be.

I guess because they were more forward and creative with their styles I was hoping for one of them to win.

Whereas for Tom, even the judges admitted he’d only just, in the final, branched into injecting intrigue into classical cooking (which with 2 trained chefs for parents, I think I expect him to have down pat).

I wanted Kasae to win tbh

Kasae didn't deliver what she set out to do (her dessert). Tommy had a good chance but his cooking wasn't perfect for his main course.

Tom was the clear winner from the three dishes he made.

I got the feeling it was almost a foregone conclusion with the judges who would win.
The praise he got, the format of the programme - last in the intro family bit, last to present his food.
I wanted Luke to win.

This may be controversial but I definitely preferred Anna to Monica this year. Hopefully Anna is co-judges again next series

Why would you make cake and ice cream in a pop up, what an odd choice 🤣 Marcus looked suspicious as soon as Molly mentioned ice cream.

Wow. Just watched it. You could tell the judges (and Gregggg) were extremely fond of them all and amazed by their food. I actually thought from their comments George might have pipped it tbh. But so glad Dan won as he has been so consistently brilliant. And seems lovely.

I think something must have been said about the judges tone towards the chefs because it’s like Monica and Marcus have had a personality transplant - constantly thanking the participants, telling them what a great job they’ve done, the critiques are mostly positive. I prefer it when there was a bit more bite…

To be fair it seemed like most of the dishes were good! Let's hope there's some crap coming up so we get to see anger and disappointment in Marcus' eyes 😆

Wow 😲
Apparently he's not done anything wrong and the viewers like him - but they think three is too many and they're just going with Monica and Marcus.
