Masterchef!

:D That reminds me of Vic and Bob doing the Masterchef Lloyd Grossman sketch as well, when he had knifes and forks for hands and an unfeasibly high forehead.
 
Imagine him eating beans on toast: 'The crunch of the toast... the softness of the bean, the sweetness of the sauce... THAT is a GREAT dish.'
 
Hee hee. I've always quite enjoyed watching masterchef but I'm not sure I'll be able to watch it with a straight face after this thread!

But yeah, to the comment about some of the dishes - some people really, clearly can't cook. Surely there must be some sort of qualifier to get on the show or d'you reckon it's just paper based?

As long as you're able to find your own arse with both hands, I think they'll let you have a go. The ones who continually crack me up are the people who say that they're experimental - 9 times out of 10, its a cue to produce some of the most seriously bonkers combinations of food that look, and i would imagine taste, absolutely awful.
 
I enjoy watching masterchef - as others have said, it's generally comedy gold.

i don't really like the prize or format though: I would quite like to go on it, but wouldn't get past any of the rounds, because i have no desire to work in a kitchen: i enjoy cooking at home and for my friends, but don't want to do it for a job.

also, what is up with the contestants: all of them say pretty much the same thing : "i really love food, and would love the opportunity to cook for a living"

in that case, why didn't you go to catering college and do that? why train as a city trader, if you really want to be a cook.

Or that don't know the basics about cooking. Blind baking pastry with rice? WTF? :D
 
I like watching this but one thing that really annoys is the 'pashun test'.

Yesterday they threw out this poor lass and kept in a useless beggar on the basis that she didn't want it enough, i.e. she didn't use the key phrases "110%, pashunate about cooking, means more than anything to me" enough times in their daft interview.

While 'useless chef Brian' or what ever he was called got into the final round and completely buggered it up because he couldn't cook!
 
This thread is comedy gold!

Rofl! at the above saying! Never heard it before but I shall make a effort to drop into conversation as much as possible :D

But really, do you think some of the people who get on have families/friends like those poor misguided souls on the X Factor who tell their mates they're the best singer/chef to grace the earth? :confused:

Parental pressure innit?
Plus, a lot of people don't get into cooking til they're older.
 
I watched a little bit of this, just because Sheridan is a poster on Handbag and I wanted to see what she looked like! :D

I really admire people who go on shows like this though. I'd be nervous enough about being on TV, let alone having to cook something from scratch.
 
This thread has made me belly laugh!

I love John and Greg, they are easily my favourite people on TV. I have a real ambition to go on Masterchef - I am giving myself another 4 years maximum before I apply, but if I did get on I'd be proper starstruck, I'm very over excitable at the best of times, I think this would be too much.

I think the standard's quite high this series, I'm not good enough yet, but I will be I hope. It really inspires me to up my game.
 
I really liked the girl this week. But to be honest the bloke that won was quiet impressive in the last round.

I would be scared to touch truffles.
 
I didn't realise this was on. I've been watching celebrity masterchef on uktvfood.
