To me it just looks like they ticked all the boxes

I liked the look of the grain salad looked good. Don't want to go looking for recipe.
Did you notice the guy on the balcony lending on the lady, didn't look good.

I did, something going on huh? I bet some of those sports people went into a steak shop on the way home and had a decent feed

I want to try Maggie Bears apple tart but need a substitute for her verjuice.

The closest substitute would be a mixture of cloudy apple juice or white grape juice, and cider vinegar, in equal parts.

You don't seem to get it. They are selling advertising for their sponsors and the TV station. While a show like this has ratings nothing will change.

Get what?

I understand that, but the balance seems somewhat skewed from the actual demographics.

Have you any idea how the prizes and locations are paid for ?

White wine vinegar with about a teaspoon of castor sugar to 100ml works well. And her recipe itself works well too except that I cheated and used just one sheet of Countdown/Essentials ready rolled puff pastry. I truly did not expect it to stay together when I turned it over but I have made it twice now and bang on each time

I see The Crumb/Soil is alive and well again this season. Why?

I know I said I wasn't going to comment but. I thought that guy's lamington inspired dish looked really unappetising - as did the one that sent the maker home.

I didn't see who went home, but I agree, his lamington-inspired mess was. a mess.

Nigella is quite small really, she looks more buxom on her own cooking shows. maybe she's been on the treadmill.

I thought the same . she looks great & way more natural in her manner than I've seen her before & I liked her encouragement to the contestants.

she has lost a heap of weight. IMHO (which doesn't really matter) too much

does anyone else get sick of the way these adult people gush over the chefs, I get really embarrassed the way they carry on.
Again we are only seeing 5 then one of them goes and they bring in another one, ben seems to be nice

I imagination they are following directions. I get a bit sick of the manipulation of the contestants. They are living in a glass bubble,so faux sympathy from the judges has them crying & spilling their guts on TV.

That Adele aye? Talk about dodging bullets.

There she goes. IMO should have gone last week instead of Denise. Next off or hopefully shortly is the woman who looks like she used to model. I think she is flying on the seat of her pants as well. Looks frazzled whenever the pressure is on.
So far liking Chloe, think she has some excellent potential. And calm. Who is this years Tamara?

Even though Denise had way more potential than Adele, & even though stuffing up something as simple as corn fritters was embarrassing I still think the judges made the right choice. Denise's offering was inedible.
As soon as the judges said there was no chocolate in that cookie dough thing I knew it was (finally) Adele's time to go.
Well done to Chloe for putting up 4 good dishes in 75 minutes. Any easier challenges they always give an unfair amount of time.

She has always looked great and is a great advert for chocolate - and not just Whittakers either!
She is one of that small group of very unpretentious celebrity cooks/chefs who is a delight to both watch and listen to.
As soon as I see a chef wielding tweezers, I'm totally switched off.
