I think that getting a good voiceover would make it a little bit better; being on Channel 4 they could have tried to get Dave Lamb, but I get the feeling that they want this to be taken a little bit more seriously. I may start making this into a drinking game: every time something awkward happens, a drink; every time this proves it's not anywhere near as good as the Aussie show, a drink...
May as well hook yourself up to a drip! 😀

So no one based in the UK is willing to apear on the show as a guest judge now.

Eww please don't kiss my food!

"It's the first time we've been in kitchen headquarters", oh so they were just cardboard cutouts standing in the corner then was it Michael's and Prue's delivery that turned you into them?

Cant wait to see who they manage to drag in for the 'grand finale'.

It was the first time they'd actually cooked in the kitchen but I would have thought standing like stuffed dummies through several other sessions would have told them all they needed to know.

It kind of fascinates me how little tension or excitement they manage to get into the cook offs. No one even seems to be in much of a hurry. I know a lot of the tension is manufactured in MKR Aus but it does make it fun, even when we know they work on MKR flexitime.

Who was it that predicted Razan and Reda would be back? Were you reading ahead or are you psychic? If the latter can I have this week's winning lottery numbers?

Hey remember me folks... I have just been binge watching to catch up.

OK I MAY have missed this from the starting rounds but i did notice the whole 'points will be deducted for being late" and the clock resetting for each dish. I also thought at the start they seemed to use the same music backgrounds as MKR Australia but now it is using the same ones as GBM...

Welcome back

I noticed the same music as GMB. Figured that they must be trying to make Prue feel at home.

I have just a few days before schlepping across to London to cover the last tournie of the year. Simon and mam are still quite annoying but the medical mates are a bizarre pair too...

Simon and his mam are 'try-ers,' they're determined to seriously push the envelope and make everything from scratch. It doesn't make them likable though. Also looks as though they're a bit bossy (especially the mam who is telling people to stop eating something as they've not put a sauce on it yet).

Raechel (the spelling of the name alone is enough to make me wince) and her partner are just awful, disorganised and incapable, it seems, of sticking to what they're doing.

They were brought back last week just before the group was split in two. They appeared from behind a tree.

The tree was significantly less wooden than Michael ☺☺☺

I must have missed that completely (wonder if it was on a day I forgot the programme was on).

I am finding this to be less than lacklustre (is that even possible?).

Don't think that Simon and his mam are anticipating bad feedback, but Michael and Prue aren't impressed with the end result they presented, even though they were impressed with the processes involved.

There's something very unlikable about Simon, although I can't quite work out why he irritates me so much. He's not the usual in-your-face arrogant try hard. He's a different type of try hard.

And welcome back, RFS, however briefly. Although why anyone would come back when they'd escaped ....

We're not *that* bad!

And I know what you mean. Though I did find his animosity when they weren't the winners of either judges' or people's favourite rather annoying. They lost to the girls for people's favourite because the children preferred the girls' meal, simple as. They didn't win judges' favourite because theirs wasn't quite as good as the others...

We're not, we're delightful. The show is though.

There's an edge to him and his attitude that's really unpleasant - so sure they were better than anyone at the start just because they were making everything from scratch, as if that trumped tasting good. Or rather he was, Mam being sidelined as usual. Did you notice that comment about how he shouldn't have chosen her for the team? Might have been a joke but I wonder if anyone else would have been willing to be on a team with him!

Still, they're surely not good enough to win and it's all over soon anyway.

I sincerely hope so! You can see why they wouldn't have got someone like Dave Lamb, it's hard enough to take it seriously with a neutral commentary. It would have been more fun for us to have an large injection of sarcasm, though.

Andy makes me smile - it's being so cheerful that keeps him going.

Andy was quite entertaining in tonights ep I thought, he seems to have a bit of personality thats been sorely missing in most of the contestants.

Shame that he been sidelined up to now and its taken so long to show. Another example of the awful editing.

Think the girls won with the Sundae with popping candy. They were lucky and it annoyed Simon and his mam.

Simons face when they lost the vote and then the way the judges had to pander to his pouting lip afterwards really made me laugh. He very much has a superiority complex...

"We have already beaten Razan and Reda and it is annoying they are back......" I burst out laughing when he made that comment... oh well.

He is the least likeable of the contestants. Although I can't see any of the current teams beating Miranda's pal in the final.

He just gave away that it's all about him and since you need to have two people he just needed someone else to fill the gap. I think you'r right and no one else wanted to join him! He does have an attitude problem and if he's like this at work it's probably good that he wants to quit his job as a paramedic.

And we'll all rejoice when the show gets there.....it lacks summat.......perhaps it needs a tent!
We had tents last week although they weren't up to the usual standard one blew away!

This is bad but at least it's sooo bad that it's entertaining and brings out the great British spirt of taking the P! (It would have been so much better with Dave Lamb doing the voice over.)

Oh course they're going to have problemswith timings and cooking when you keep on making them cook outside on frickin barbeques!

It seems 'sports day' has changed since I was at school!

Micheal seems to have a problem with the two Scottish girls it feels like he has taken a personal dislike to them?

I loved it when Man and Son took offence to not getting the judges vote and especially the Scottish girls getting the peoples vote they just couldn't handle it and had to be soothed by Prue and Michael with some 'compliments', they then thought that they were above them and as much as I think Michael is a bad presenter he does know how to cook!
