OMG, me too!!
She thinks she's something REALLY special for making momentous decisions such as leaving something she's cocked-up royally off a plate *rollseyes* What's all this 'Dessert Queen' bollocks? Sheesh, they've only been there a few weeks and isn't she supposed to wait until other people call her that? ![]() |

I think the chocolate beef thing deserved some credit because it would have been easy to do what everyone else did and basically make chocolate tart/chocolate icecream etc. Some of them did do some spectacular-looking desserts, true, but skipping the obvious dessert route - and pulling it off - took some gumption.
MCA is interesting in general because - and I've absolutely no stats other than gut feel on this - it definitely seems slanted more towards desserts than mains in terms of total dishes cooked. Dessert queens are ten-a-penny on the show so sometimes the most impressive ones are the ones who don't rush to make a dessert at every opportunity (like Nigella's distinctively un-desserty mystery box). |

So I just watched last nights episode enjoyed it actually, Harry's dish was very inventive if only it had been a touch refined I think he would have walked it. There were some right disasters on there - yikes, whose dish was it that looked like baby sick? Chloe?
And what the heck was Nigella on about with her feedback?! Something about salinity?!! I was all ![]() Looking forward to the eliminayy-shee-yon tonight. Think Matt the park ranger has hit his peak and will be going home. |

Seconded.
Why TF he's still there is anyone's guess. He must have been in just about every elimination so far - the only time he hasn't been is if he was on the winning side of a team challenge. |

Okay, deal - so long as he takes that useless Miles with him.

Nigella in black, George wearing black, Matt in dark clothing and Gary in a bright white shirt. He's definitely the mean one this year..
And those 3 dishes look dare I say it quite easy? If you put them alongside was it Shannon Bennett in the first week who did that Snickers thing?? |

Yeah they're nowhere near the same level. I suppose the challenge is doing everything together.
HAHA (#sorrynotsorry) Jimmy is in trouble. I so want him to go. |

The fact that they're concentrating on Jimmys failings makes me think that he will make a dramatic comeback, to the detriment of, probably, Miles

Oh my, that was tense!
And how nice of self-titled dessert queen Karmen to comment on the texture of Miles' pannacotta |

She wasn't wrong though. He made a schoolboy error with his, putting it in the moulds when it was still hot - I guess it's like a custard with a skin when that happens...not pleasant.

I want to punch a fist in the air right now. Sounds awful but I haven't liked him since his audition...He's just someone I never warmed to - there are a few this year that I am not hugely keen on, but he's one that I am really glad is gone!

They couldn't seriously have saved him on the basis of one very good pannacotta and two awful dishes...but juuuust for a moment that's what I thought was coming.
Probably worth it though for a slightly green-round-the-gills Nigella when she realised she was going to be eating almost-raw lamb. And her drama queen "hope he doesn't disappoint me with my crab salad"...get over yourself, love. |

Jimmy had a shocker! Thought at one time they would let him off because of his panna cotta. Who would have guessed he would go before his sister? He was smug though!

couple of little asides about the presence of nigella. the regular judges really seem to be fawning over her and agreeing with everything she says, and maybe its just me but i find her voice/accent to be incredibly similar to MPW |
