HAVE A NECTARINE, GONK
Just caught up because of the footy.
Oh MasterChef, just PISS OFF.
Trent sailed through even though his "punkin" would have been as bland as a turd without their interference.
Poor Karmen, she was totally framed tonight.
For whatever reason, they wanted her out, so they fabricated whatever excuses they could.
The worst Preston could come up with was "We questioned that the meringue was too sweet". In a bloody dessert. And the basil ice cream didn't taste basilly enough. (So it was edible then, rather than tasting like BASIL ICE CREAM?)
It wasn't a "basil challenge", it was a set-up.
Why state that there were problems in both dishes, then only assassinate Karmen?
Because Elise appeals more to them as one of their chosen ones?
Oh what about the bit where they were tasting Mimi's beetroot juice, and the jug kept magically appearing in front of a different judge in every shot? It ended up at the end of the table in front of Preston a split second after Gary practically guzzled it.
Shame on you MasterChef, you suck.

Hmmmm... basil icecream magically appearing on the plate post-buzzer?
Yes, it certainly looked as though she didn't get back to the freezer, then suddenly it was there. Why can't they just be honest with us and admit it when someone doesn't finish in time? At least then we'd know WHY she went home rather than "the meringue was sweet".

You are allowed to have frozen things in the freezer as long as they are ready to go on your plate when your name gets called. This is so to prevent any melting from occurring prior to tasting.

...I've just realised who Matt reminds me of... he reminds me of Fitzy for some reason... I think that it must be the 'I'm just about to snap and start shooting people' eyes... they've both got that 'spaced out' look about them to me at least... cheers.

Matt's not quite as bogan though. He doesn't call the other contestants "gells", for a start.

So they are down to the top ten, and without Karmen there, I realised there are only two left I even like - Matt and Harry. Unless this whole season has just been a vehicle for Matt to win, then TEN have totally dropped the ball with their casting (and I call it casting because it's blatantly obvious at least some of them are there for reasons other than cooking. Home & Away to home chef doesn't seem a natural progression for anyone).
I was trying to think of the top ten off the top of my head, and got as far as eight - with four of those being personalities I can't stand. Apparently the two I forgot are called Heather and Mimi, and allegedly they are better than Karmen, but I can't recall ever having seen them actually do anything.

Well I'm in the room by myself but I'll still post. To me Matt is the best cook there. He doesn't shout out from the peanut gallery. Annoys me that the worst cooks are safe. And bugger, bugger he is paired with the ghastly Theresa on Sunday. And the blandie blondies are still there. Grr.

Put George in a maternity ward. Push push push!
Seriously Karmen? Really!!! When they looked back on her dishes she had tons and tons of successes
nobody helped her in the challenge.A travesty!!

It really is still bugging me. Even if her dessert this time wasn't perfect, it wasn't a disaster. You'd think they'd still see her potential and give her another chance, rather than going for a safe but bland cook. They've done it many, many times before, keeping a favourite who has stuffed up. Clearly Karmen wasn't a favourite, for reasons unknown.

Ha. Funny about that! It makes sense.You are allowed to have frozen things in the freezer as long as they are ready to go on your plate when your name gets called. This is so to prevent any melting from occurring prior to tasting.

I'm almost at the point of thinking none of the favourites or manoeuvring matters.... Because Matt is going to win regardless! It's all just ratings fodder of sorts between now and then. Hahaha.
(Of course, I'll be struck by lightening now)
Bring on next week's Space Cadet show with Heston leading the charge

...so!... who is it going to be that Matt/George and Garry are going to screw over and railroad out of the show tonight?... cheers.
Whoever is paired with Matt or Harry is history if they lose (assuming the pairs stay the same through the week)...so!... who is it going to be that Matt/George and Garry are going to screw over and railroad out of the show tonight?... cheers.

Ha ha, Matt Preston describing Heston as exploring the 'outer limits of eating' is nothing short of hilarious.
...hmmmm!... Heston Blunderthal week... great!... it'll probably be something completely ridiculous like using 'dry ice' to snap freeze a meal for 'the theatre of it' most likely... I hate his pretentious bullshit style of cooking... gawd!... they've all just had a collective orgasm when he walks towards them... (god give me strength)... he's already talking about Atoms!... 









... cheers.











Yeah, pretty full of shit. But entertaining at the same time.Ha ha, Matt Preston describing Heston as exploring the 'outer limits of eating' is nothing short of hilarious.
