Oh lord, I'm having flashes of the pirate winning the whole thing! I'm tempted now to google so that I have time to come to terms with that

Fight the urge, fight the urge...I too have this fear. Never thought my dread would be between Pirate and Smugface being the contenders.

Brett deserved to win that. He had a clear idea, very limited time and delivered it exactly as he intended.

Elise may have pushed herself in terms of the flavour profiles but she still delivered a standard looking pudding. Harry just had a bad day.

Yum.

It sounds like something you use for DIY to me.

Oh please, no pin for Smuggy McSmugface.

No, it's potentially worse, it's a potential pin for the Pirate...but he's cooking against Shannon and won't have a mentor.

I wasn't sitting here actually willing Brett to hurt himself, but now that he's done it I am not going to protest and sympathise.

Matt trying not to laugh there when the shallots went flying. Interesting ...

Shannon canNOT lose against Pirate, he simply is not allowed to.

Step awaaaaay from Google. Have faith. Kismet isn't that cruel.














Is it?

Stupid negative space. More food less space, I say.

I can't believe that it would be. 2016 has already sucked enough without that becoming the sour cherry on top of the rather bitter sponge.

The Pirates VT's are out smugging Miss Smugface's!

And Raye, just as you didn't wish for him to cut himself, I didn't shout "YES!!" when he did it either

To get through to immunity he did some meat with a purée and a pickle, can't imagine where he got the inspiration for his cook against Shannon 🙄

Well the mustard foam collapsed....

Ha! Made me giggle rather than Google, so that's a good thing

So much for 7.55pm W!

Every time George starts with the 'shall we taste?' I want to yell NO, LET'S NOT BOTHER at him. What a stupid question.

Still prefer Shannon and want him to win. Pirate needs to go home.

For once I was glad I was watching in real time!

And.....breathe!

There is no way that they could not have known who cooked those dishes. Brett hasn't shown the skills necessary to deliver a foam like that (even with the collapse) or the experience to put together the side elements.

Not sure how you could get round it - but it wasn't a true blind test.

Do you think they ever really are? I suppose towards the end of the run it might be more difficult but the chef's plating is usually better and the techniques more sophisticated. It usually seems like a bit of a pantomime when they go through the 'whoever made this bit'. The only time it might not be obvious is when they have apprentices or young green chefs on.

I don't see any way round it unless they taste literally blind!

Have never seen Supernanny before but this mother is a wimp. Seriously "I don't like to see them upset" so she allows them to rule the roost, swearing, vandalising property and spitting. Yes, aware that this is a total off-topic but simply couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I think that the only way they can blind taste now is if they are all cooking exactly the same thing. They are familiar with the style of each competitor by now so it makes it harder to look at something and not say "oh that's so and so's style, I recognise the way s/he cuts their carrots/makes their puree."

Yes, I watched it a couple of times but it wasn't good for my blood pressure. I don't understand parents who are afraid of teaching their children how to behave.

I found it odd that Shannon was the chef in this episode, depriving the pirate of him as a mentor. My guess is that their guest chef didn't show up, forcing them to switch to plan B.
