Something has puzzled me for ages and I am sure there's a simple explanation if someone will clarify for me.
As an example - the 'jury' (nasty as they are) have been there for a few nights now.So the contestants are given a certain amount of time to make a dish which they make, apparently, for two (Manu and Peter.)So are they making enough for the jury to have servings too in what is usually a short space of time!After all with the jury there were a heck of a lot of serves to be made!So are they, in fact, preparing enough for say, 10 people!
What am I missing here-and does anyone understand what I am getting at lol!

Yes they are. You see shots of all the plates when they're plating up, and they show the 'jury' at the tables eating.

Always shouting at each other, but saying "darling" at the same time! It doesn't seem real!

Not in my household anyway! lol, when I'm mad at hubby, he sure ain't called darling.

Yes of course I realise that we see the 'jury' eating bj, that's what prompted my query.But I have never noticed like 12 or so plates laid outon the benches ready for the food !They barely have room to cook on those benches let alone spread out a dozen plates.Would drive me nuts, I like to spread out.
Thanks for reply anyway, I will have to observe much more closely.

I think the days of the jury are over - thankfully. Maybe it's one of those things that's done off-camera!

Did anyone manage to get the recipe for the limoncello chicken that was made last night!
I've just noticed that this recipe doesn't have Nic & Rocco's name on, so must be from an earlier series. It still looks good though!

Didn't think Leigh and Jennifer were going to make it tonight.Andy and Megans menu looked really nice, but loved the look of the chocolate tart the girls made.

I thought it was a jack up.I remember someone else being slaughtered because of an object (something that could have broken a tooth that was in a meal).So I cant understand if gravel was found by two of the judges why they got such high marks. I cant be bothered watching it to the end now.

So the 'darlings' have gone. All the entertaining, cringe-worthy people have left! Back to the cooking then.

I don't understand it either. The judges didn't have anything bad to say about Andy & Megan's food, the girls food had gravel in it & yet they scored higher. Something not right there!

Hard to comprehend!If those judges had been eating in a top class restaurant and found gravel in their food there would have been hell to pay.
Somethin's rotten in the State of Denmark (I think that saying is correct lol)!

Yes, I was surprised they scored so highly. There were two different styles of cooking there though and maybe the judges are looking for more high-end food than the more rustic food that Megan and Andy cooked. Looks like Andy should be cooking seafood for a job.

So the boys made it through, final tomorrow night, can't wait.Didn't think the girls dessert looked that fantastic, must of tasted good for the judge to say it was her favourite in the entire show!

Poor Rocco - he lost his cool last night. Their dessert looked far too much and looked really boring on the plate. Not a patch on their macarons. I hope they do well tonight.

Go Nic and Rocco - I hope they kick those girls asses!

Hm - I didn't like that result much. The girls seemed to be in a bit of a shambles in the kitchen. I think even they were surprised.

The comments the female judges gave about Nic and Rocco's dishes were far more favourable than the comments they gave the 2 girls, especially as far as the dessert went, yet they rated them higher!! What a crock! Besides, the dessert the girls made wasn't even complete! It had a "smudge" of caramel on top - It didn't have the white tempered chocolate - and the judges all knew this!

I felt sorry for those lads. They did everything they could. Would have thought with such huge prize money that they could have something for runner-up.

The boys were ripped off! The girls should never have got there in the first place with the gravel incident. Rigged.

Poor Nic and Rocco, they are winners in my eyes, they so deserved to win.The judges are so inconsistent, they say one thing, then judge differently, can't figure them out.And as for the flower episode, caned the boys for putting it on hot food the other night, the girls did it last night and not a word said!
