If she'd been in an early round they would have torn her to shreds for doing too much on her desert. As its a later round they big up their skills more to create that illusion of a talent ladder as you climb up the stages.
I would have been happy if either lad had one it but glad they didn't punish the youngster for deliberately not serving a sauce he didn't believe in. When you consider how many times they've told people off for not holding back elements that have gone wrong.
p.s. A woman once won the entire thing so you can't accuse them of being sexist.

Yeah.. I was being a little bit sarcastic tbh..
Actually, I don't know enough about the programme really to hold a proper stance - I just know that whenever we do watch it and there's a "who's gonna get through" scenario - we have a running joke that it won't be the woman - and we've pretty much been right 100%.
How many years has Masterchef been running with just the one female winner? Anyone know?

Its been running since 2005 and if we include celebrity Masterchef there have been 3 female winners.
A woman won the first one and I think that there have been some good female contenders in the finals. They weren't just the token woman.

Has it really only been since 2005? I told my Japanese lodger that it is a very old traditional English TV programme....
oops...

The young boy Chris who looks like a woodland creature. He did a lovely pea soup (but with a seared scallop which I know you don't approve of), a lambs liver main which was a bit dry but a fabulous chocolate fondant
I wouldn't have put that accountancy student through either - she was terrible in the pro kitchen

In its current format.
The very old traditional version died out 2001. Thank god. It was boring as hell back then.

I'm afraid I've given up on this series. Toadie gets the final say on EVERY difference of opinion, and, if I see one more scallop or pea purée, I may well scream

Michel Roux? Has he been on it before?

The utterly charming Michel Roux senior is more likely to be found on Saturday Kitchen, but I think I saw the lesser junior version replacing one of those Masterchef blokes recently.

I really felt for him - I couldn't look when the judges were tasting it.
What was he thinking?

Bugger, I forgot to watch this last night
Glad he went through - wasn't really any competition tbf.The young boy Chris who looks like a woodland creature. He did a lovely pea soup (but with a seared scallop which I know you don't approve of), a lambs liver main which was a bit dry but a fabulous chocolate fondant
Oddly enough, before he had started cooking I was thinking that he looked like the sort of person who posts on Urban.

I haven't had a chance to watch it this week - didn't some fella do some grated butter instead of cheese and then leave a carrot with bit marks on it on the plate? What day was that?

Yes - that was Monday. They were all fucking dreadful on Monday - it's quite funny, you should watch it. But it was a real shame - the bloke who was runner up last night was much better than the one who won on Monday. He was just best of a bad bunch.
Yeah, all three from last night could have won on almost any other day.

Yeah, it was really tight that the bloke who cooked the onion soup and cod didn't get to go through. Some of the peeps in the final will be worse than him.

Don't they always have a runner's up round, where they get to pick the best of the runners up to go through to the semi finals? I seem to have a vague memory of this happening last year, when there was someone really good they were pissed off that they had to let go... 
Something like that. Or was it people from a previous series?Don't they always have a runner's up round, where they get to pick the best of the runners up to go through to the semi finals?
