Disappointed. If the terrine (or "treen" according to Matt Preston, who also likes things 'saulty") was the 'hero" of the dish, then why did the person with the best one go home, & the ugly soggy one stayed? Because soggy was smarmier with their sob story?
 
Yeah not really impressed with tonight's result or the dish, it was way too overdone for my tastes.

i know about assumptions (being gay myself & everyone assumes otherwise), and of course it doesn't matter, it's just that everything about Andrew's mannerisms & body language sets off my gaydar. But if he's an effeminate straight man that's cool too.

I don't like the whole assumptions thing either. I'm straight, but he does set off my gaydar.
 
and mine, Andrew will be gone soon enough.

George's Greek salad looked completely unappetizing.

I thought it looked virtually inedible. Audra seemed to think that putting so much effort into something so pointless was a waste of time, and I agree with her. It was the same with the fish egg pie last night - Audra said the actual thing was disgusting, so they made a pie which presumably was edible, but lost because the judges couldn't taste the disgusting thing in it :p
 
Yes that was ridiculous. The other groups got legit foods and they get some weird thing that even those with diverse food tastes couldn't palate.
 
Hilarious, particularly

Audra was methodical and quite hilarious throughout the challenge. Quite unable to conceal her disgust for molecular gastronomy, she opined, "I don't think George's mum would be very happy with his salad" and wondered why George couldn't just serve food instead of "piping it out in a gel?". Despite her revulsion, Audra fairly sailed through the trickery and demonstrated that cooking with hate can be just as effective as cooking with love.

lol
I <3 Audra
 
LOL, She's hilarious. She's probably right about George's mum too. I can see her point though, going to all of that effort to make something taste like an olive when you can just eat an olive. Personally, I thought the first salad he showed them looked far more appetizing. His mums salad... I'd rather eat that one.
 
reminds me of the series where one of the contestants was doing molecular gastronomy, and made "sphericated peas" I sitll laugh about that.

I really wanted Andrew to go last night, shame.
 
I'm so confused.

I thought I'm supposed to keep it clean,fresh,simple - not fussy,less is more, respect the ingredients, blah, blah.Oh yeah and cook with friggin 'love''
But - everybody is playing food games, showing off, and doing magic tricks with food...........and cooking with hate............hate....hate

Last night, boys pub night..........it's all been hate
 
And a good, honest cook like Dalvinder has been screwed over not once but twice (the roe & then the pretentious deconstructed bollocks), resulting in the show losing a good cook & one of its most endearing personalities. No wonder people think it's jumped the shark.
 
Also the arrangement of the "salad" pretty much showed the nonsense on the plating it up nicely.

It looked like when you get a young kid to decorate a paper plate and they randomly glue and draw crap on it. Due to being too young to actually make a face or whatever.
 
You could definitely see that molecular gastronomy is not George's 'thing' like it is Heston's, I don't really know where or how but he has missed the mark. And don;t call it a friggin salad, a flat plate does not a salad make!

That is exactly what it reminded me of.

I have had enough of the excessive help from the balcony too.

Telling them they forgot something or they left something on or off is fine, reading out what to do verbatim is not. How much 'pressure' can there be if someone is telling you how / what to do!
 
LOL Eliza perfect pick on the visuals.

Now what I would like to know is - if you eff over your food like that, blasting,steaming,fiddling, whatever..........is there any nutrition left in any of that wanky food? And how about calories - does it change that?

And I honestly am confused by this show and food now.

I really love clean, fresh tasty food - who doesn't. And I love watching Heston's tips and feasts. And I would die happy to experience a Heston feast.
But..............there just seems to be something so wrong with all that fiddling, but.............oh I don't know I'm confused
 
Article in the new TV Week about how no one likes Debra. Eliminated contestants TK, Matt & Kath say she was cold, rude and difficult, and called another contestant "that thing".
 
KxK, I absolutely hate over handled food, it turns my stomach and I agree all that messing around with the molecular structure of food must remove any goodness.

Need more gossip about Debra :D I just do not like her manner not sure why.

I wondered what was going on with the balcony too. It almost looked like they had their assigned team up there, didn't it. Mindy was giving step by step instructions to Andrew, way more than we've ever seen happening before.

Re Debra, when she was team captain it became pretty clear that she was not very popular. Mindy did exactly what she was told and took over a great amount of the running of the task and then Debra threw her under the bus without blinking when it came to the judging. Not the actions of a nice person. It wasn't really something that could have been twisted a bit in editing to look bad, it was bad.
