HAVE A NECTARINE, GONK
I loved Jane Kennedy on The Late Show (along with HYBPA's Tommy G), Still the funniest Australian comedy show of its time.
Kitty Flanagan is quite good too.
...well my friends... after having to peruse through many many MANY hours of Masterchef episodes to get the images that I've needed for all of the previous Photoshop's that I've put up in this thread a startling revelation appeared to me... Tamara's hold over Gary and George came to me in a flash!... I've noticed something about her body language whenever she looks in the direction of Gary and George... the clapping... the laugh... the voice... and... THE LOOK!... they all have a purpose... I hope that this explains all... puzzle solved!... lol!... cheers.
...yup!... the boys will both be targeted next without Kylie to keep Gary and George honest... she made them both feel guilty when she steered their decisions to save Ben... it was the first time this season that they have done the right thing by the show... and us!... only because they had no choice did Eloise go home last night... and we all know it!... cheers.

Is the food on MasterChef Australia still warm by the time it’s judged?
JULY 11, 20175:59PM
Lots of steam in the MasterChef kitchen. But suspiciously none at judging time.
WE’RE down to the pointy end of MasterChef.
After what feels like six months of solid TV and harried contestants throwing every second ingredient into a sous vide, blast chilling to abandon and quinelling like scoops of ice cream were going out of fashion, the MasterChef marathon is almost complete.
The question is, who of the remaining people will take out the trophy. But there’s another question perplexing MasterChef fans.
It’s a perennial conundrum but this week it has taken on a new urgency.
On Monday night’s show, Karlie Verkerk pressed go on her power pin, dubbed the show’s “biggest ever advantage”.
Well, actually, the pin’s super power was merely an extra 15 minutes of cooking time to allow her to caramelise some pineapple rings. X-Men, this is not.

But the real power seemed to be delaying the judging of everyone else’s food.
MasterChef fans on Twitter wondered why her dish would be allowed to be piping hot when judged while everyone else’s creations would clearly be chilly.
“Does that mean everyone else’s food goes cold for another 15 minutes before serving?,” asked one

It comes following a week in Japan where contestants appeared to be cooking in subzero temperatures, at one point at the base of a snow capped Mount Fuji, while the judges shivered beneath puffer jackets and scarfs.
Would the steaming bowls of warming broth be more like cold gazpacho by the time the judging took place?
Well, the answer is yes. It’s highly likely the food served in Japan was indeed cold.
In fact, every single hot dish is cold by the time it comes to judging.
Have you ever seen steam rise from a dish well being judged?
Former contestant from series four, Alice Zaslavsky, has revealed the truth about the freezing food.

She says it’s beyond doubt that the food is cold while judged for the cameras. But it doesn’t matter because George, Matt and Gary may have already made their minds up.
“The judges would walk around and taste the food as soon as the challenge was over, while everything was still hot.
“If you were smart, you’d make a second plate of everything, so they get a complete sense of what you’ve cooked,” Ms Zaslavsky told the Weekly Review.

Not only would dishes cool, she said, but they would even be put in the fridge between takes and while the crew go for lunch.
“Once you finish cooking, they take your plate away and shoot it with an overhead camera so it looks fresh.
“When your name was called, you’d walk up and put your dish on the bench,” Ms Zaslavsky said.
“The judges put a fork in, eat a mouthful of the cold gloop for the cameras and pretend it’s the first time they’ve tasted it.”

This delay also accounts for the fact that at the end of the cook the benches are strewn with a debris of sticky bowls and filthy food processors. Yet when the judging occurs, just a second later in TV time, the benches are stripped off everything but the dish.
Judge George Calombaris has backed up Ms Zaslavsky’s account.
“It has always been cold and it always will be cold but we taste everything hot off camera,” he told the Daily Mail.
“At the end of the cook, [viewers] don’t see that — no one sees that apart from the three of us and the executive producer.
By the time MasterChef Australia contestant Sarah Tiong has her food judged, all that hot steam will be a distant memory.Source:Supplied
“We will go around the room and the three of us will taste everything hot out of their pot.”
Calombaris said the close up shots, overhead shots and all the other elements that were involved into making the show took so much time there was little hope the dishes were tepid, let alone hot.
“When you see us tasting at the end — it’s cold but I already know what it tastes like.”
A spokesman for EndemolShine, who make MasterChef Australia for Channel 10, told news.com.au the food’s heat could “vary”.
“The MasterChef judges taste elements of each dish throughout the challenge, giving regular feedback to our contestants. Afterwards there is often a short break before tastings begin so dishes may vary in temperature.”
So maybe the advice to wannabe contestants should be serve a cold non melting dessert for every challenge.
Cupcakes anyone?

This has always grossed me out. In the first series, I just assumed they had assistants to give the benches a quick wipedown. Then I read that the judges tasted it cold, and every time I see them standing behind their gleaming silver benches post 'cook', I feel a bit sick. In the UK MC, they leave the benches totally messy and carry their dish out to the judges who have a little table out front and dip in. It's a lot less stressful to watch.
So couple of things this article brings up in my mind.
- Are they tasting the competed dish and getting the flavours all together while hot, ot are they just taste testing things through the cooking process. That seemed a little ambiguous
- Is that not just admitting the whole blind taste testing is the BS we know it is??

Good evening Mr Sticky and all!
Alas, we're in for another full hour of Tamara, and if she gets to the 2nd round, you know the 3 judges will ensure she beats the celebrity chef and gets the immunity pin.
I reckon Arum is next for the chop, Gary/George/Matt don't like him, he keeps confounding their plans by actually cooking well. He doesn't fit into their scenario of an all female final 3. Ditto for Ben

Yes it does, and yes, we were correct.
That's the part in that piece that really stood out to me.
Proves what this show has become. A mockery of it's former self.
LOL A week of firsts for sure Arum, princess NOT through the door first again.[DOUBLEPOST=1499765697][/DOUBLEPOST]
Yeah, they put them back in fridge or freezer.
...evenin' all... here we go again... the 'Tamara Show' folks!... cheers.
