Sourkraut - I could have at least had a few mouthful's of the risotto, and there was champagne in it. Also Manu "swallowing" indicates he is not afraid of showing his masculinity...

And i do like that they give a score for each dish because then we know what was the standouts and flops. But they should present it so that it is less time consuming. Maybe overall mark with just a screen shot of the individual points? I don't know.. just consistency is good. I feel like the guess judges was an after thought and therefore they had to change the points system.

Inedible. CG - yes it is definitely going into a second season, but I don't know whether it will screen this year or next. Fides - I agree with you, they are getting to make stuff they have always made, albeit under time pressure. I would like to see them thrown a curve ball. DMC - it would have been insulting to the viewer if they had tried to drag it out. Wurst and Akris - I disagree re: the itemised scores as the scoring bit of the show is so dragged out. Jenny - I think the other teams are placed on either end of the set so they can only see one of the teams cooking therefore it looks like they are only barracking for one team. Sourkraut - LOL - amusing as always. Boris - I kind of figured they just wouldn't have a pigs head, or obscure asian ingredients in the pantry.

In by far the majority of tasks they are given notice in advance of the days challenges ahead. The 'thinking on your feet' element, is just what the producers want you to see.

I think Mossy and Gabe have 4 sons/2 daughters so that was my impression of him being all paternal when he went to give the boys some encouragement during their dinner party. I also remember him shouting "go girls" to the Qld sisters and really barracking for them during their cook-off last week. I'm just curious to know what the rules are for this part of the competition. The SA team used a muffin maker for their puddings - I'm assuming that a standard or restaurant kitchen probably wouldn't have a muffin maker amongst its usual appliances ... so I guess that means they must have submitted their menus, ingredients and recipes so the producers would know exactly what they needed. Which is why I'm finding this part of the competition rather dull and while I know MKR is at pains to stress they are nothing like Masterchef, I definitely prefer the "thinking on your feet" element of MC.

I, for one, found it refreshing that the SA team's food was rated accurately in terms of judges reactions and we weren't treated to a contrived, 'it all comes down to the last judge' scenario.

Overall, their menu didn't make sense. Worst of the competition? I'd wager the gnocchi was up there with the worst. There was no redeeming element of that course unless you fancy a quick game of tennis with Manu - the judges can be a little mean at times. I agree with Akris, I'd like to have seen separate scores for each course.

Mossy always cheers them on and even went in to the kitchen to give them a morale boost in the episode where the VIC Boys first cooked in (the themed dinner party). I think that is nice of Mossy but I also do find it a bit creepy and blokish at the same time - like he is looking out for the blokes (a boy's club). I didn't notice Mossy doing it for anyone else. Maybe the producers make him do it. Anyhow I just find it weird considering they are all supposed to be competing against each other. Then again maybe there is a back story to it - that Mossy & the boys bonded the most or Mossy felt that they were the most nervous. Oh just to add what is it with Mossy and the VIC boys?
