Anyone else been watching this? I am quite enjoying it so far. Only problem is I am pretty sure the intro gives away who doesn't get through the first round by the lack of appearance in later rounds.
Love a bit of Jason Atherton too.

Have been watching it since the beginning, quite enjoy the format and the number of knobs on it LOL, but think there are a few fundamental flaws with the programme.
It's selling itself as trying to find the best home cooks in the UK however the voting is totally tactical by the other contestants and also don't agree with the judges giving their verdicts first as this also influences the others.
Apart from that have found it to be fun & entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny at times.
Hoping against hope that Philip falls flat on his arse!! Pompous idiot.
Still the others have him sussed.
Anyone else have an opinion? on either the show or Phillip (or any other participant)everyone else imo seems to be likeable (or forgettable maybe lol) and like I said, I think the show as a whole seems like it could be entertaining, if only....
I agree with thoughts about the judges verdicts. They should be done in secret or after the other contestants have said what they think.
I really like the Irish girls and the girls from Liverpool that have both already cooked. Lasts nights, while I like the guys the cooking was just a car crash from the start.
As for last night, I have no idea what Duncan and Stuart were thinking. Their Afro-Saxon fusion sounded strange and was clearly not the best. I can still hear Lorraine munching on those oat cakes in my sleep
Tonight is the night. I am praying that their night is a complete and utter disaster
The UK version is just as good IMO, good judges, good character selection, few underdogs, pantomime bad guy that we all hope will fail. Really looking forward to tonight's show to see how Philip does, I think it is his turn to host tonight?
These are my two favourite sets of cooks too, so far...........
They didn't do a very good job of it! I only stumbled across it by chance, halfway through the first show.
Loved it when Lorraine picked him up on his champagne faux pas. It's a shame they did so well but hopefully in the next round Phillip will actually have to do more of the cooking which will hopefully be their downfall
As I said on that one although I enjoy the show the suspense of the early rounds has been totally ruined by the "preview" part at the start. In the upcoming bit only one couple is not shown in the studio kitchen..... (As the op states at the start of this thread) really bad editing choice from the producer.
I find the chubby guys who had a disastrous night the most annoying, they are SO bitter and can't see beyond that.
They sound so petty each week with their ridiculous criticisms, at least Philips criticisms though harsh, were fair.
Agreed though, he did not do much cooking and that will probably come back to bite them in the later stages, all he did was the panna cotta and mash (which was awful)
The Champagne bluff was hysterical, he looked like a right berk. Even I know, it's only called Champagne if it's from the Champagne region!!
I don't watch the intro since someone pointed out that it gives away the later stages, what a silly faux pas by the production company.
I agree about the builders, their night was terrible and they are incredibly bitter and pick fault with the most ludicrous things. I think they marked the northern girls low when Phil and Emma were fair with the mark.
You're right and I think they have given the lowest marks every week since their night.
Haha yes I started a thread a few weeks back which wasn't very popular so I assumed no one was watching, but glad its popular now!
Love this show so far but as mentioned you can tell who is eliminated in the intro but otherwise liking the judges and contestants and loving to hate the hairdresser and client (panto villain)
Loving the Liverpool Girls Steph & Gabi.:cool:
Although after last week where the pair who are probably the blandest cooks won and a good pair were eliminated
I'm cheering for the Liverpool sisters!
Amazed Danny & Kev are doing well, how the chicken didn't burn:o - I like how the others watch - but Phillip & Emma getting a bye this week, doesn't seem right to me.
Pleased Steph & Gabi got through, I preferred there Hash Breakfast, to all the Pancakes.
Hopefully this week we finally get to see how good Phillip is in a kitchen. I would be amazed if he is any good after he did nothing at all in the first round
