i'm just wondering whether that little bit right at the end when he tasted his broth, wasn't 100% with it and added the lime and fish sauce at the last minute is a little hint

I get the feeling the judges are going to love both dishes, but prefer the pro.
I agree, they tend to go for simplicity.

In the old days, if it was a draw that was a win for the contestant. They don't seem to do that any more.

2 x 30's would be good - a double Reynold if you like

I should think that Matt's already got people queuing up to give him a job if he doesn't win.

Definitely agree with this.

If you consider Reynold didn't win last year but has done incredibly well for himself, I'm sure Matt will be just as successful off the back of the show.

Matt has been one of the few consistent contestants this series.

I think that Reynold also had the advantage of contacts in the cookery world courtesy of his mother (a professional pastry chef in her own right) and his brother (his brother is a judge on Indian MasterChef); I am not detracting from his talent, but he did have a few advantages going into the competition. Matt is definitely worthy of recognition and I do think that had he been up against a different chef on a different night (or in a different year) he'd have won hands down. I preferred his meal, but I wasn't judging.

I wonder whether the gantry lost it for Matt.

Without their 'helpful input' regarding whether the pro had done enough in the hour, he might not have gone back and selected the cauliflower and additional mushrooms... he was only going to plate the crayfish and sauce to start with.

Hard to tell with the edit - but it certainly looked that way. Matt really is a talent

Given how well he's doing, I won't be that surprised if Matt wins it.

He certainly deserves it - not just probably the best cook, as far as we can tell, anyway, but no fuss, no drama, gets on with it and seems to take everything in this stride. Although the longer he's here the more likely it is George or Gary will poke and prod him into tears at some stage.

But it's a sudden death competition and anyone can have a bad day. If he's in an elimination and has a bad day he's out. The show has a history of what look like the best cooks going out before the final. (Sometimes even at the final!)

I am rooting for Matt to win, he has been the most consistent so far. He deserves it.

The little sign says "2 DAYS SINCE LAST PARFAIT"

The little sign wonders who will crack first!

W was a bit weird, didn't have the scheduled program, and then just cut into straight before MCA!

Cinema challenge? Popcorn parfait??

I want to see that Masterchef film!
