I'm happy with all who made it to the finale, it's nice to see that Ellie got through but I think it will be either her or Matt that will be gone next. If she does make it through I would like her or Gary to win.

It was gorgeous, and I loved his salad challenge - I liked both chefs over the two nights, very happy with the final four, Gary for the win for me

Much better guest chefs, can you remember that horror on the last series (I think non-professional) who was just mean for no reason? Much better when they are supportive.
I think the right two chefs were eliminated. |

I'm surprised that other chefs have allowed Michael Caines to join them at the Chef's Table after his performance on MKR UK.

Hahaha - I get the same feeling too.... I'm liking Gary the lecturer most at the moment....
Why do they pronounce "Arnaud" as "Arnoux"? Don't they know how the French pronounce their names? (Same thing happened with "Candiss" Brown, when it should have been "Candeece"). At least Matt Tebbut got it right on Christmas Kitchen the other day... (By the way, the fix says the female chef will win.) |

More so with Wareing, than with MRJ, because the former is so transparent. |

I want Ellie to win, I doubt she will but if not, Gary.

I love Gary and Arnaud. I really hope one of them win. They are both lovely and I think Arnauds humbleness is very endearing.

Ellie will win -- as forecast by my patented Masterchef forecasting method -- well, it has worked once in the past. Look for whoever is most enthusiastic about the guest chefs they will be working under.
Ellie worked out in the car that they were going to the Westbury where she knew Alyn Williams was the chef. Therefore, she will win (unless next week one of the others shows any interest or enthusiasm about their host chefs, in which case it is all up in the air). Incidentally, I loved the dead-pan voice-over that Williams had trained at Petrus under "head chef, Marcus Wareing". |

Rich and James seem to have tripped themselves up by overdoing the "I'm so edgy, me" thing. Rather, they gave the editors the opportunity to do that and the editors took it.
Only Ellie of the last four currently works in a restaurant kitchen. Do the later stages of the pro version tend to feature development chefs and lecturers? I've only ever watched one series for amateurs before. |

Ah, noo! Perhaps Monica has been watching this in New Zealand and got mixed up.

I was surprised that someone teaching cooking at college is so isolated from the catering industry, I would have thought that they might have spent some time in the college holidays (or even termtime) working in the industry. I know some colleges have the college cafeteria / restaurant partly run by students but it is not quite the same.
It's also rare that a college lecturer is able to compete at this level just as the development chefs often don't have experience of service at top flight restaurants. Gary or Arnauld to win. Surprised to see Brenton go thought he was far more skilled than the other bearded one, forgotten his name. |

If we're going to crown what is ostensibly 'the best chef in Britain' (although, y'know, not actually) I'd rather it was someone whose cooking was in some way original or memorable. Maybe not Michael O'Hare memorable but dear God, at least bring something surprising to the party.

It's pretty rare that an FE college would fund that type of professional development. His holidays won't be so generous either.

Is it my bad memory or is there a lack of originality compared to previous years?
Plus, there really haven't been any challenges like the leftovers one, have there? |
