    The laughter is very offputting. I'm not sure if I'm going to like this spin-off

    "Should you really be a judge on Masterchef?" Absolutely not.

    It's more restrained than I thought it would be so far, but the canned laughter is REALLY off putting.

    I think it was a few weeks back - I remember getting an offer of tickets through. The Apprentice one is filmed near broadcast, rather than near when they were kicked out

    Thank you. :)

    I like Jo Brand but she has a very sarcastic tone of voice which makes her sound less than enthused and snide about everything. I'm not sure it's right for this show.

    The Apprentice shows funny moments with the contestants but none of these moments are funny.

    I think they're using the same laughter track as they did for the Sarah Millican show. We went to see that being recorded and we all laughed quite naturally, when it came on the telly it sounded like this!

    I'm not sure that Jo Brand is the right host either, and Gregg is pretty annoying. Oh dear.

    It's like an episode of Made in Chelsea.

    All I can think is that there is a "proper" larger audience sat further back....

    Those cakes with Mary and Paul's faces on are creepy! Not fully sold on the cake with weird ingredients.

    I have to say the 'The Head & Shoulders of cake' was a great line.

    I think I posted last week that Jo Brand seemed a bit cynical for this show.
    There is an audience behind all the people at the tables, not sure if people realise that

    Unnecessary I thought, another one trying too hard. I think this will be my only week of viewing...

    I can't believe she made it to the final 12, there must have been better bakers than her that they could have picked!

    I'll give it another go as I'm usually in on Friday but not sure if I've got the will to stick with it.

    So glad she's gone. Another week of hearing her voice and I'll be throwing my remote at the TV.

    I think Jo is okay for the moment but I think at the end of the series when people have invested a lot more emotionally into this she might be a wrong fit. I question the celeb value of the guests.

    It's a bit meh.
