Celebrity MasterChef

Danny’s constant laughing is very irritating.

Always thought the mass catering challenges were the best!

It's so poor compared to the USA one

I dont like the USA one its all about creating drama and tension between the contestants

That describes every us reality show ever (and half of Netflix content ).

She looks older than 26

I am gobsmacked she is 26. I’d have placed her 10 years older. She reminds me of a budget version of Olivia Attwood who I believe is another Love Island alumni. I’ve only ever watched 20 mins of one episode and the people on it were so mind-bendingly stupid that I had to give up.

There is no way in hell she would know how to make îles flottante so I ended up fast forwarding through that whole section of the programme. It would be much funnier and more awkward to have got them to come into that challenge blind.

I have some about this season although don’t get too excited! My neighbour’s daughter is a researcher for the show. She was going out to get some food for lunch and she asked Chris Eubanks if he wanted anything. His reply “6 coconuts!”. She was taken aback as where it is filmed it was not somewhere to buy such items. Another day Chris went out for lunch and never returned.

If I find out anymore I’ll let you know. The daughter is currently casting for Young Masterchef for BBCThree and despite 9 applications she‘s been advised by the BBC they need more applicants such as a northern builder bloke who can cook! No wonder all those reality programmes are rigged!

Eubank is a law unto himself, I felt so sorry for his wife when they had their TV programme.

I just cringe my way through the celeb masterchef. I think the exact same with the judges. And the way the celebs lap it up and get tears in their eyes at the feedback.

Just googled Greg Wallace and I can’t believe how different he looked when he was younger!

Gee he must have had a hard/tough life he looks like a different person.

For me: Kirsty Gallacher, Lesley Joseph, Richard Blackwood, Lisa Snowdon.

I don't think Kirsty G has been on this before, she was on Strictly a few years back.

I'm a reasonably competent cook and would not have had a clue how to make that dish. Not a clue. They must think we are all daft.
However I could actually believe Paul Chuckle might know, he seems quite a good inventive chef.

I like him more than I thought he seems down to earth and friendly.

He also cooked coleslaw though so… I just can’t imagine him making dainty desserts.

I think they get a mentor to show them how to make a range of sauces sides cook basic things then whatever is under that cloche they can make something to go with it. That girl had clearly been shown how to make a satay sauce so when she got chicken did that and a potato dish she’d been shown.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Oh bollocks. Swash with dyed black hair has to turn up.

 

[Restless Native]

Oh bollocks. Swash with dyed black hair has to turn up.

Just for men

 

[Ktb]

Joes black hair looooool awful

I had to suspend reality when they were doing the skills test....AS IF they could all suddenly produce proper custard, poached meringue and caramel with zero prior warning The skills test wrecks a lot of them on the professional version so I'm not buying this lot just trotterd in, thought cool and got on with it!

That's the point I stopped watching . If they were a big more transparent about it and maybe said that they had all been taught to make it previously and now had to recreate it from memory or something it might have been OK. But to pass it off as a proper skills test nah not for me

 

[Dianne]

Totally agree, they should disclose that they have some guidance. What’s the point otherwise?! Watching celebs pretend that they’ve cooked a skilled dish from scratch?

It’s the way they can debone a fish that always surprises me. I’ve never done one in my life yet they all manage to get a decent fillet first time.

 

[Hollie Day]

It's the "I'm out of my comfort zone" nonsense that gets me, while managing to produce a near perfect lobster bisque.

 

[Sprezza]

I've given up on this series. It's just boring watching Z list celebs competently cook boring dishes. They don't even have any big personalities to make it a bit more entertaining. And they think we're stupid enough to believe they've had no help.
