we just thought the wrong family went home last night, we know they were 51/2 points down, but they did the better meal. Must admit with the daughter reading the recipe book out to the family they did have advantages in the area, especially when they were changing the cooks every 30 minutes. The family that wear the scarfs their English isn't very good and they don't get any help, sometimes I wonder if you make better tv watching.

Yes, watching it and enjoying it. The Italian family - only Rose can read English, hence her staying to read the recipe each challenge it is required.
the Sharooks - Muslim girls with scarves - they are strong cooks but useless at reading recipes, and keep getting into trouble because of that.
The Italians did a crap boring sandwich, and that was their downfall last night. I did expect the Greeks to go home, but their meal was strong enough to build on their advantage from the sandwich challenge.
The Sharooks do get as much help as the others, at one stage they commandeered Con into filleting their fish for them. That is one thing I like, seeing each team help others.
The European team seem to get the least help, but they haven't been in an elimination yet.
Oh, no, not watching it at all lol :)

haha, I love watching the sharooks, as you say problem is they cant read a recipe, should they get help. Loved the program when they had to cook rhubard what's that they said, but they did it. That is going to be their downfall not understanding recipes and not very much knowledge on how to do things Couldn't believe that crap sandwich, dad got it wrong then. So nice Con filleting the fish for them, he comes off as the rough hard one but he's just a pussy cat

Lol, forgot about the rhubarb. And then next challenge they used it again. The EUros winning last night's challenge surprised me but good on them.
Did Yu see the episode early on when the Greeks just argued amongst themselves throughout the challenge, and they weren't even cooking? They do seem to have calmed down a bit since then, if that's the right explanation lol

I know the tallest one use to be a nutter but now hes the best, I thought it was mum but its sister, she didn't do well with the lamingtons, but she wanted to join the group. The dad seems a bit strange as well, thou he can cook. the sharooks did well, surprised everyone I think, what a shame they really were just worried about the lamingtons I would have liked to see the other things that were made

well what a final, it was great, glad they won. That girl had a potty mouth in the end, but she did apologize, did she tell the judge to go away. Great to see the families come to dinner

I haven't watched the final yet, but have really enjoyed this show and I actually missed the first dozen or so programs. Much better than MKR.

hate those programs, much prefer just calm look how simple it is cooking shows, like Rick Stein for instance or Mary berry. All this fighting, nastiness and picky criticism of the food, meh. No wonder some are put off learning to cook.

I have enjoyed seeing home cooks and wondering how the hell they think going on these shows is a good idea lol
But seeing the different cultures and cuisine has been interesting.
I do love Mary Berry, Maggie Beer programs but not into Rick Stein.
For the person wh hasn't seen the final and missed some programmes, I do have the series saved for the moment (I'll be deleting it next week probably).
I wasn't surprised by who won.

I didn't want to watch the final when I saw the sisters were in it. their voices are so grating . but I am guessing they probably won in that they are allowed to keep cooking the same food they always did with virtually no challenge in making another type of food.

I loved them because they didn't know anything about half the things they had to cook, had trouble reading recipes, I loved the way they worked with each other. Much better than the potty mouth aussie girls
