MasterChef - The Professionals

[belboid]

A lot of it - especially with those first tasks - must simply be the very short space of time they have. Ten minutes really is absolutely fuck all, I'd have just gone 'hmmm, yeah i think all the ingredients are here, now just let me roll a fag....' add in TV nerves and...

tho it really is surprising how badly some of them fuck it up.

 

[Onket]

This series is much better than the last one. The new bloke is a million times better/nicer than that shouty twat that they quite rightly got rid of. I liked the bald fella in the last series so good to see they've kept him on.

Quite fancy the bossy woman who does the first round, and it's no wonder there's so many mistakes with her fulling faces every couple of seconds.

 

[tarannau]

It can't help having the boggle eyed Frenchie, loudmouth baldicus and a camera crew intruding and questioning you too.

Add to that the limited time and unfamiliar cooking conditions, plus some of those daftly archaic French classic dishes that they're supposed to know of.

 

[Onket]

They get the recipes for the 'classics' round.

 

[tarannau]

There's a difference between having the recipes written down and knowing what the thing is meant to taste and look like. Same goes for the preparation.

Honestly, there was some carved pineapple and shortbread dessert on therre recently that I haven't seen since dusty 70s culinary tomes.

 

[Onket]

The pineapple was last night.

These are professionals, they should just have to guess.

she's great - those big 'wtf' eyes!!

 

[tarannau]

That's what they do isn't it, hence the lack of consistency and occasional laughable failure?

They never got rid of anyone. It was the same line up for Masterchef The Professionals last year and the shouty twat will be back for normal Masterchef.

Michel Roux Jnr is a lot more likeable in this series, seems like a nice bloke.

Those food critics are incredibly pretentious, would love to slap them all.

Yeah, and they use electric hobs


Fucking up anything on an electric hob is soo easy. The heat manipulation just isn't there like it is with gas.

One of them looks like Peter Griffin from Family Guy.

Peter Griffin

Ya know...that thought crossed my mind too.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

...... it's uncanny.

I was at uni with Jay Rayner (the one who looks suprisingly like Colonel Gaddafi now). if it weren't for the laws of libel...

 

[belboid]

scrambled eggs?? I'd have made better than them! No one knocks my scrambleds.... I could even have worked out how to joint te rabbit i think.

After that i wouldn't have had a clue.....shame jean didier didn't make it, his stuff looked yummy

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

That woman critic is a sour faced bitch.

 

[machine cat]

That woman critic is a sour faced bitch.

I still would.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I still would.

She'd talk to you like this:

Oh MY GOD! You have the biggest knob I've ever seen that was the best sex ever

 

[machine cat]

and?

Oh, well that is a shame.

Agree completely.

 

[vauxhallmum]

I love that Michel Roux Junior.
He has such a lovely smile and has an excellent line in tailored jackets

Jeez I'm getting old

 

[belboid]

it's steve's to blow really innit? maryanne probably as good on skills and palate, but his imagination...

 

[clicker]

Yes the man has an unrivalled foodie imagination...although Mary annes looks as tho it tastes better.....to be fair all three are bloody excellent and I am sure they can knock out a mean fry up.

 

[g force]

All 3 are very, very good. I prefer Steve but if Marianne won I wouldn't be gutted either.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I don't like Marianne very much. I was very surprised she got through to the finals. I was expecting the guy with the steely look to go through.

 

[hammerntongues]

I don't like Marianne very much. I was very surprised she got through to the finals. I was expecting the guy with the steely look to go through.

Ryan ? he blew it big style last round didn`t he ? he was my choice until then , looked a bit up his own arse tho.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Ryan ? he blew it big style last round didn`t he ? he was my choice until then , looked a bit up his own arse tho.

I don't think he did any better or worse than Marianne tbh. The ginger one was definitely out, and then it was just a toss up between Ryan and Marianne.

I don't think he was up his own arse either. He was just *well* serious and never smiled. He really wanted it and looked like he would murder someone for the prize.

 

[belboid]

no, he blew it. Can't quite remember how now, but deffo not as good. And it would probably have been the third finalist, whose names escapes me, that was his closest rival, imo.

I do wish Maryanne would stop looking as if she ws about to burst into tears

 

[hammerntongues]

Not suggesting that there was any unfair bias but for the programmers it was probably better to have a female in the final , I just thought Ryan was trying a little bit too hard , its so subjective because as with all these style of programmes the viewer is lead by the editing I suppose .

 

[DRINK?]

I quite like all of them, really don't mind who wins
