    If i've counted right, then Michael had the highest total score.

    What are the chances of Richard Davies and Peter getting into the top 3 tomorrow?

    They both will.

    The judges will suddenly remember that humour isn't something they need to take into account, so will push through Peter's apple pie ... and Richard has a funny plate! :rolleyes:.

    Dunno his name but the bald headed one does my head in.

    Takes far too much pleasure in others mistakes. Awful man.

    Totally agree, i thought the same.

    Ah but as was announced during the heat, it was a "witty take on an apple pie".

    It was an upside down case placed over the apple with cubes of ice cream(?) inside.

    Ha ha ha ha ha....

    as Colin just pointed out they've never had goat before so it has a high chance of getting through

    My Grandmother had a goat. I think it got through a fence once.
    Anyhow, seriously, I think Ade has talked the most sense in this so far.

    I can't believe it's only just occured to me, but I would prepare a dish called "meat and two veg" and have the waiters serve it with their flys down and their todgers hanging out.

    Well they've humiliated the waiters in every other way so why not. :D

    Oh great! I thought I'd try to figure out what the twist might be, so I carefully studied the last part of the show, just before the credits, and what did I see? Photos of the three winning desserts! :rolleyes:

    Don't panic!

    I'm not going to say what they were, but if you watch it on iPlayer and don't want to spoil things for tomorrow, look away for a few moments when Oliver says "We could be here all night at this rate."

    Not watching after this series, Matthew and Oliver have been axed from the panel. Because it was (and I quote the BBC on this) 'a panel of oldies'.

    Prue will stay and be joined by a new female and 2 male judges.
    Do you have a link to the quote/article?

    I'm sure Richard Bainbridge and the cameraman stood behind him were both surprised to see Marcus turn up.

    I initially thought that. I guess they could just say that they had problems with the previous footage from him in his restaurant and needed to reshoot it.

    Same happened yesterday with the "mystery chef" being shown in the kitchen right after the "blur" shot.

    I think whoever's editing this show, or at least the teaser for the next show, is either an idiot or just doesn't care, so why should we?

    I know I said I was going to give next season's first week a chance, but after hearing that Pru is the only judge returning (and so being senior judge forcing her opinions on the rookies), and the crap that's been happening this week, I'm done after Friday.

    I am now hoping one of the chefs changes their dessert and makes an iced cake shaped to look like the judges' table.

    Then sticks three playmobile figures behind it on marzipan chairs.

    And calls it "@rses about t!t".

    to be fair to Ray it has been the talking point of the series (you know, apart from the lack of humour, judges' completely random judging, and nan's plates)

    i love marzipan that sounds fab ;) in a cheffy twist the cake could be made out of tongues and cheeks and could fail to explode on serving....

    I think at this point it's would be well deserved for one of the chefs to snap and just shout out "Oi, JUDGES!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!"
    You keep changing the brief and every ****ing turn. Just pick the best dish put in fornt of you.

    Don't invite back people who YOU deemed not good enought to get tot the final. If you wanted them there then you had the chance to put them there instead of one of us

    I'm trying to figure out how else they can mess things about, once they've got the top 3 (or 4) dishes for each course. As you suggest, they've either got to combine two dishes (which I feel would be an insult to the chefs), or simply offer the guests at the banquet a choice (which is hardly a brilliant idea!)

    Oh ... hang on!

    For at least one course, they'll narrow it down to two possibilities, and the chefs will have to vote ... and it won't be a secret ballot. :rolleyes:

    I doubt they'll do it with the starter!

    Ray ... nil points! :D

    Is it Ray's comedy volcano tomorrow? Seriously, that dude's got the darkest sense of humour. What he needs to pep it up are some half-melted Playmobil figures lying in the devastation below.

    The problem is, his volcano was so dribbly and damp squibish it would be hard pressed to give a slight burn let alone melt :D
