I sort of liked all 3, but I did feel for John, he looks a broken man
Adore Paul, reading the titles of tonight's puddings I really hope he's doing
Taste of the fairground - that sounds fun and the sort of thing that will appeal to the judges and lots of chance for fun presentation
Im sure someone else has done that before, not in the same way though and I like Paul so I hope he does well. Looking forward to watching tonight and can't wait for tomorrow
I was told by my Grandad (so the truth is more than likely wibbly ) that the traditional accompaniments to meat echo what the animals would eat in their fields. So, pigs would truffle for apples, there would be mint in the fields with the lambs and the same with horseradish and the cows.
It's as a good a reason as anything else, I guess ...
Pigs eat anything. Is that why it goes with everything?
Andre " my classical techniques and their modern approach":D:D:D
:eek: I thought you were psychic just then. We're watching a recording delayed by about 5 minutes and I read the quote about 10 seconds before he said it.
I'm glad someone else said that. It's a very unusual voice and sometimes I think it woud drive you completely crackers and other times I think he could use it to very good seductive effect.

Exactly it's both quite hot, and a complete irritation at the same time
What doesn't work about this show in one easy lesson - Andre's dish looked superb and was no doubt yummy and showed great skill but IT DOD NOT MEET THE BRIEF! Putting on a big black board does not make it 'theatre' and 'banquet/street party'. It's just a bit of tart in a bowl. The end. No sharing, no event, no oooh's and ahhh's. Yet...he got 9. I don't get the scoring at all.
I thought Paul's fairground dessert just looked silly and like it would rot my teeth just looking at it. He'd tried to meet the brief but made it gimicky and too fiddly and wobbly to work for 100 people.
Not sure about Andre's voice either.
Thought they were a nice bunch this week.
Really fed up with the "scripted" comments...."Is this fit for a banquet"...."Are you happy with the seasoning" etc etc. Hubby kept tutting tonight every time these sorts of comments came up even though he does enjoy the programme generally so made them even more noticable to me !! Would be nice to see some unscripted banter like on the new Greedy Italians programme......maybe they are a bit more "uncontrollable"
I don't think there would have been any justice if John had gone through instead of Paul. Paul got three dishes right out of four. Shouldn't put people through on the strength of their desert alone!
I think its been a good week so far this week, and could be interesting tonight... Paul 'should' walk it on the basis of his sharing ideas this week (Andre's missed by quite a way imo) but Andre could make changes, and Paul's dishes were quite tricky so he might make errors. A good contest tonight I think
Andre is a bit too intense for me so rooting for Paul myself.
btw, did anyone conduct a "has this got the WOW factor?" count this week?
Didn't really think Andre's dessert was worth a 9 - a very accomplished piece of cooking, but again it just looked like restaurant dish to me. I couldn't help feeling it may have been a 'tactical' 9 from Michael to put real clear blue water between him and John (Andre has been the better chef out of those and deserved to go through two) and Paul was always going to go through anyway.
On Paul's dessert, I kind of take Michael's point about it lacking 'substance' if it were being considered in isolation. But I think at the end of the sharingstreetpartybanquit thingy a fun dessert which you just kind of pick at would be very suitable.
Guesses on the subject of judges' comments shown in the teaser? surely it has to be Andre's caviar / tapioca concoction?

Surely Lisa Allen is this year's Lisa Allen
Two Lisa Allens..the world's a better place already !

I'm intrigued by his voice

I love them, and I love/hate Andre's voice as well and find him rather sexy:o.
Good week so far!

John's was probably his strongest dish of the week.
Andre's looked fab, but not sure it fitted the brief again.
The right two are in the final, I'm hoping Paul pulls it off
Sounds a bit like he's batting for the other side to me;)
"... I'll have to get the recipe off him for that [sic]!" was totally charming.
And I like Andre's voice too. :rolleyes:

His accent is classic Bath mixed with a bit of Ray Winstone. Or is that just me?
Wasn't it just, and for me summed up the really nice atmosphere which has been present this week.
Andre is a bit too intense for me
