I'm really confused. Both Megan and Kem have referenced speaking to someone about their recipes for their sandwiches. So did they know the task the day before?

They were definitely prepared for that sandwich challenge! I haven't seen them being quite so obvious about this type of thing before. I wonder if it's the same for the regular Masterchef - or if they just go a bit easier on the celebs?

Not sure where Sue was going with her broccoli. What a concoction!
 
Just watched last nights. That sandwich guy was interesting🤪. Call me boring but those sandwiches all looked too overloaded and not appetising at all.
I noticed during the relay challenge they all kept looking to the side of the bench so assumed there was a recipe or rough guide for to follow.
Right person went home 👍🏻

duck off, Kem. If you’re gonna pretend to be thick at least try to be convincing.

I don’t understand why these reality people are so wedded to appearing stupid? What’s the payoff?

They are playing for the sympathy vote - stupid to begin with, but all of a sudden, look how much I have improved and how great I am. It doesn't work anymore as many of us can see through the BS. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the remaining reality people wins, regardless. I'm already thinking it will be Joe (FFS!), Megan and Kem in the final...

IMO, a very disappointing series - not just some of the Celebrities, but also the dumbed-down cooking skills of a few who are still in the competition.

With the professional chef section, I wish the contestants could all cook and try to replicate the same dish and be judged on that, it is very unfair when they have different dishes to execute, especially when some are obviously harder than other ones.

Sad to see Bez go, I was rooting for him :(
 
I don't mind if Megan wins I do think she has shown some skill and isn't being in your face either. Kadeena is really sweet I think she is my favourite but I don't think she will go all the way. I think Melanie has a good chance and unfortunately I think Joe and Kem will go pretty far and I think Dion is the weakest left and won't get much further.
 
I've never seen Megan on anything but Masterchef (have no clue what she's famous for - reality TV, I think, or is she a singer?) but I agree that she has shown some skill. However, it was pretty clear again last night that the celebs knew of the task in advance - Joe Swash said he'd been up till midnight the night before making pastry and he'd discussed the task with his mum. They're not exactly trying to hide the fact that they know everything in advance! I'd never caught on to the fact that they knew of the tasks in advance before this series - they are very much prepared for every task and I'd guess a lot of them are getting professional help too. Takes away from the fun of it a bit! I prefer the regular Masterchef, in any case.

When John and Gregg were complaining about Bez's presentation, I was dying for him to say "it's alright, it all goes to mek a turd" in his fab Manc accent (a la Jim Royle).

The only thing I can't stand about Masterchef (celebs or otherwise) is Gregg and his double entendres - last year it was slippery fish - all lovely and pink and slippery inside. God almightly, he is foul.

Totally. ABS. Anyone But Swash.
Always the cheeky reply to Greg or John. And the strangled 'go on my son' and inane grin when another contestant takes up their food.
He is an insufferable buffoon.

He said something to Greg last night along the lines of 'wouldn't you like to see my tentacles' when he was preparing the squid :sick: At least I think it was squid. I was only half-watching.
 
Isn't it normal for them to have had some preparation for some of the tasks? I'm sure they're not all supposed to be spontaneous. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they also know in advance about the ones that are supposed to be a surprise like the skills test and when they get given a 'random' ingredient.

I don’t know because Kem was shite with his random pineapple thing but seems quite good when he’s practiced. I think he has no idea about technique or flavour but is able to follow a recipie he’s had time to practice.
I’m not bothered by the practice but to think they’ve called up their chef mate and they’ve told them what to cook rather than coming up with it themselves, that takes the edge off for me.
 
The sandwich challenge was weird, I don’t think they’ve ever been that blatant about having had them prep for a ‘surprise’ challenge on the day. Gregg asking Kem if his family had signed off on his idea but then making it appear as if Dion had gone in without a plan (grabbing ingredients for lots of options) and that Bez wanted mackerel but they didn’t have it…?

Swash is an absolute dolt. Imagine saying to a restaurateur that you’ve been in lockdown as if that hasn’t decimated their industry… think she might be aware of it, mate.
