Come on then guys, only hours now until Masterchef 2014 starts, what are we looking forward to most, the first time gregg cuts into a chocolate fondant and says 'i could wash my face in that for hours' or the first time john says 'it just needs a bit more oomph'?
I'm wondering what the 'big thing' will be this year - foams are out, pureed splats are out, little pies of offal are so last year
Maybe the Contestants will have been watching Great British Menu and everything will be served in a comedic disaster style. A comedy Titanic is never old
Is it definitely heats again this year? I always forget who's who in the heats, and you always see someone who is really good go home cos of a strong heat, yet a weak heat sees an undeserving contestant go through.
I like the returning former contestants for part of the current contestants challenges though. Though I'd love to see someone like James Nathan or Thomasina or Shelina as a proper judge. Boot off 2 Gs Wallace and replace him with them, if they remain steadfast that only 2 judges are needed. I'd still love to see Matt Tebbutt in there. He's great on Saturday Kitchen when James is off. Think he'd be a good judge and mentor too.

The thing is, I just don't think he would work well with Torode. I think if you got rid of Wallace you'd also have to ditch Torode - maybe for James Martin (just to make sure there's still a big pudding lover on the show).

For some reason Jackie Kearney is one of the returnees. I remember as a very average cook, and I'm surprised they couldn't find a better former contestant to judge this year's intake.

You can't turn on the tv without seeing James Martin recently. Personally I love Gregg and John and think the show would be nothing without them.
You are so right. I used to enjoy his Saturday morning show, but now that he seems to be on about 3 hours Sat morn, similar on Sundays & again in the week, I can't be bothered to watch any of it. And am I alone in thinking he has become rather smug?

Not keen on Greg, but do like John.
I don't know though, I think over the years he has lost some of his arrogance and has become more self-deprecating, which makes him more watchable
I would love (maybe love is too strong a word, maybe like) to see them bring back Kate Spicer to the critics round. Miss seeing her face, like someone was waving a stick of dog muck underneath her nose made me laugh.
"Each week the quarter-finalists will stand before this single guest critic (in order of appearance: William Sitwell, Charles Campion, Tracey McLeod, Jay Rayner and Kate Spicer) with one plate of their food."
I am utterly miserable. Ive got no tv and no iplayer for the next couple of weeks at least and so i cant watch!
Also why the Gregg bashing?? I love the cheeky chappy he brings a lot to the show!
Leave Gregg alone!! ��
Evening all, looking forward to this years, although I watched MC Australia and loved the different rounds and ways of doing things, MCUK always seems to be the same rounds in the same orders.
I've moved this thread to our new shiny reality TV forum. Does anyone want to pick new curtains?
I'm still a little bummed out over Michel Roux Jr and Monica in Professionals but I love the show too much to strike watching it. Thank you for posting - I had no idea it was on tonight!

She was very annoying if I remember right as well
Was she the one that went on and on about Thai food?

O:oM:oG:o
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thai 'street' food if you please :-)
Think she ended up slicing her thumb off didn't she?
Yup, and dropped her food on the floor as well
Did you know she'd been to Thailand?
Now you tell me.....
prayer hands of thanks
But will hold my opinion until I am watching.
The return of Shrek & Toady to brighten up my evenings. We really should be playing Masterchef Bingo, or spot the cliché... lol
Why post watershed? Was Shrek's "Sex Face" a bit too much ??
I had forgotten that!!!
I can't stand Jay Rayner, pompus git.
