Well, all but Elise on the 'dislike' list are in the running tonight. So long as Matt's safe I will be happy.

So, who are you hoping will be on the spike tonight?

Theresa, Trent or the Pirate are my preferred ones to go. I'll happily take any of them.

I like Matt's seafood idea. I thought of the ocean straight away. Seafood in a very light blue broth of some sort? Maybe even a clear broth because the mind will equate seafood and clear broth to the ocean...

Blue broth makes me think of the 'blue soup' that Bridget Jones made when she used blue string to tie her bouquet garni together when she was having a dinner party!

ETA: So Theresa is making a parfait.

Therefore automatically making us all root for her to go. Chloe is struggling with her concept. Pirate's sounds boring, Theresa only has 75 minutes but wants to 'push herself' like that's ever worked well for her...

Yep. But I think that most of us were already rooting for that anyway! Time management has never been Theresa's strong suit. She seems to always want to push herself (which is seriously admirable) but then she doesn't plan anything out with any regard for the clock.

But by hook or by crook she'll survive...

Aww, blue and indigo are really hard. How is that fair compared to having green or yellow in a challenge like this?

(I once made an entirely pink packed bento box, for breast cancer day. I think I had red wine rice with grapes and prawns, strawberry yoghurt, pink wafer biscuits, pink lemonade... can't remember what else, but I know it was all pink).

Question little Matt with 5 mins to go, big Matt? Seems a bit harsh!

Theresa's toadstool is red, but I fail to see how that really embraces the red theme 😡

I think that a few people are definitely struggling with this challenge. But as with Theresa (meh) and her redcap mushroom made of parfait (really, again!) food colouring can be your friend if you are doing a dessert. I think that Chloe is in trouble though - because her only clear tie with indigo is the colour of the plate, I can't really see it in the theme, and since when is a garden ON TOP OF the sky? Matt could make his work if he's using a clearish broth, by putting it in a dark blue bowl, but maybe that's me simplifying things.

I am wearing a blue jumper as a sign of solidarity (well and the fact that it's a little chilly). HAHAHA, sorry Chloe, you should've checked before you made the confident declaration that you were going to be putting everything on an indigo plate!

LOL. Looking at Chloe's dish right now I am thinking it faded into the background provided by the white plate. "I am thinking of a night sky" and you can't see any colour apart from the green she's put on there. Oh dear, Matt does not look at all impressed.

All I could think of (not that I would know what to do, aside from a tart, maybe) with Matt's blue was blueberries.

Can't see Chloe staying after that. But I really want Theresa to go.

She's toast

But pirate man, who wants to eat an ants nest (apart from Bear Grylls)?

I forgot it was a long one tonight so I'm more than half an hour behind. How does Heather think that 75 flavours is 'flavour pairing'? Just coffee and lemon sounds nasty without all the others.

That 'green' thing looks absolutely hideous.

If I had blue I would be using curacao, and making some kind of granita, maybe with something blueberry related.

I agree. The moment she mentioned coffee and lemon as a combination my face did that sort of "urgh" moue. I think that Heather could be in trouble, just from looking at the mess on her plate. There are so many different things she could have done with yellow - such a fantastic colour to work with, so many choices.

I wish you'd stop beating about the bush and tell us how you really feel.

You'd even accept Ms Weeps-a-lot or Captain Smugface?

Well, surely those two ain't gonna happen, hopefully the former is being shown the door in a few minutes!

It's the editing I tell ya - I swear that next time she presents a dish there will be a Hallelujah chorus playing in the background 😡

But what if she isn't? What if Heather's mess-pile on a plate is worse than Chloe's complete "I don't get the concept" sorbet and buttercream (OMG just the thought of it makes my teeth hurt).
