Anon – You may be right they are over doing it.

Jacqui – I have a few episodes taped I will put it on a low priority to watch then.

Sooty- yes you are right he did say it was over processed.

Is this the start of the backlash?

I watched Ultimate Gamer once and it was pathetic! Don’t bother watching!

George said the skordalia was overprocessed also, so that it was chalky or pasty?

Wurstsemmel – glad to know someone else agrees on the BBQ thing thought it completely strange. Was it one of the script writers coming up with that one?

I think Kirk can cook and put flavours together, however it is a bit simple, a bit like Julie’s so maybe he will win the title.

TDK – missing the Survivor series but will have GO in a couple of weeks. I am missing poker star I will try and check it out. Is it only on one HD or can I get it through the normal one.

Have you watched Ultimate GAmer? I am going to check that out. Your right so many reality TV shows. Though it will slow down over summer.

DMC – yes Rachael has acquited herself well on the show. Pleasant and is showing some talent cooking. Next year’s The Apprentice perhaps?

Sooty – your right they judges did say that it was a team thing. The boys two mediocre dishes put them in the bottom. I thought George thought the skordalia was ok, apart from the raw garlic.

They did say they would be judged as a pair. Best dish of night by Rachel pulled Michelle up, and her food looked good and fitted the theme. They could taste a section of the fish, but not the tastiest part, they said, as that was in the 2/3 of fish raw area.

Simon and Alex both had problem dishes. Therefore it was the worst dish of the bottom pair and they chose Simon. I’m glad Alex stayed, but there would have been a case to boot him.

It has always bothered me that Simon can’t smell (bothers him more I bet) but as taste is a sense that is linked with smell, he ought to have problems in tasting.

I think his bad skordalia in previous box challenge may have tipped the scales.

I actually meant, ‘There you go, SOURKRAUT. Duh.

Culinary Boner makes a very valid point – Michelle’s food couldn’t even be tasted. So, is it appearance over taste? I think not but just a case of a more recognisable 10 ‘celebrity’

Michelle the Muscle Chick should have been the one going home. Clearly the result was again more than suspect. Sure Simon’s desert looked like an afternoon’s hoovering from a liposuction clinic, but George did say he could EAT the lot. No one found out what Michelle’s fish tasted like because it was INEDIBLE. She may as well served plastic. I expect that she will be in for a couple of more episodes despite whatever crap she serves so Ten can continue to flog that Fat Bastards Incorporated show.

Rachael Finch came across really well. I vote her to replace Sabrina in the Apprentice.
