I was stunned your favourite went out last night - just one below par dish and you're gone. I've thought all along Dean was going to win but now Oli seems to have stepped up several gears. It really is open.
Me too, Prudie, but Masterchef is judged session to session, and it's one programme that I would say is judged very fairly. From the beginning I thought he was pretty special and would probably win, but last night he just didn't do enough. I still think he'll go far though.
He was voted off because I expect he has already had offers of work from one of the chefs at the dinner the night before. This has happened previously when a chef was taken out, then went straight to work for Michel Roux!
I think they are slightly biased towards Oli, but he has improved the most after a shaky start. Dean also nearly left early on, but as a junior sous chef, he has also improved a lot.
Don't know who is going to win as I haven't been watching but it just came on after Only Connect.My thought immediately was,why do the BBC think a bald headed cockney talking b??????s makes for good T.V. is beyond me.
I totally agree with carolegif. Mathews plate of food last night was well under par -it was even worse than his very first dish! The way Michel Roux has been giving him the googly eyes I reckon he's got a place at either his restaurant or one of the michelin chefs. It really did not make sense -he did fish in a sauce while the others went overboard with their dishes.
I really don't care anymore who wins as , just like many other programmes, its a total 'fix' :-(
Mathew has obviously been sidelined for greater things - as 'Masterchef' he would have commitments, as someone who didn't make it he can be put straight into someone's kitchen. His dish was rubbish -I could have made it - he has made some fabulous dishes and then that's what he comes up with when it really counts? I don't buy it . Total fix.
Just the final to go and the hot favourite throws it away because one chef out of goodness knows how many who would be more than happy to employ him tempts him away. Just think of his options should he have won. No sense in that theory. A worthy winner hold the prize. Good luck to him.
