Memo to Producers: We are not morons and do not need bombastic music every three minutes signalling everything. Ditto on the recaps.

And memo to Claire: you’d better win, because bridges are burning.

Culinary Boner – LOL @ your first paragraph.

Raver, spot on with the observation about Gary’s different approaches to ‘helping’ Bel and Jimmy. He might as well have said to Jimmy – “You haven’t got a vagina, mate, so you’re outta luck”.

Is Claire this show’s jnr Julia Gillard?
Red head? *tick* From Victoria? *tick* Lawyer? *tick* Tallish with an obvious physical presence? *tick* Strangely alluring, some apparent geeky ‘shyness’, but clearly holding something back? *tick* Always watching, ready to pounce, preparing to coldly annilate the opposition? *tick*

Also, why is Matt channelling Noel Ferrier in the fashion stakes this year? Is there are design chain called The House du Pastel I haven’t heard of?

Oh spot on reality raver with calling out Gary’s inconsistencies with helping contestants. Gary helps mustard girl with her obvious overdose of the mustard (in fact he points it out to her without her even asking – from memory), but when poor Jimmy asks for help with the folding of the layers he gets ignored. Maybe the layering was a special no limits zone because it was the main part of the recipe and technique. Also what is with all the touchy feely thing with contestants this year especially the attractive females. Mmm. Also one last thing Matt Preston looks huge next to Gary and George this year. Did the producers last year try to hide Matt’s height and frame? Anyhow still love Masterchef and these are just tiny things I have noticed this season (due to my overactive brain!).

I hate the recaps, it’s annoying, just show me the stuff, I’m not a child, don’t have to remind me after every commercial break!!

I noticed the sauce not being on the plates as well.. but I also was kind of expecting someone to have a disaster beef wellington because they showed two oven temperatures, one was at 200 and the other (lawyer Claire, who is looking to be the obvious favourite) was at 150. Did anyone else notice this? Maybe it didn’t really matter? I don’t cook, so i wouldn’t know, but i figured if they were following the recipe they would be most likely be all the same.

I love this line…

“Unless it was a key swapping party with Matt Moran and then I would hang out with the chefs.”

We’ll see many more tears from AsianAlvin & SYTYCAdele before the Top24 is finalised. Both are great characters, but not what I’m expecting of the Top24.

RangaClaire I’m *positive* has either been on TV or auditioned last year and missed out. She’s very familiar. Would be consistent with her “I’m ready for a change” statements too (She’s so fired anyway).

Whilst I’m amazed at the support for Irmgard, there is NO WAY that woman should be allowed back near MasterChef. If you can’t tell the difference between pork and lamb, love, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE COOKING IT, stay away from the hotplate.

Jonathan getting his comeuppance in the Pressure Test was divine. Too much smug, too little result. Much is obviously expected from him, as CuddlyGary was quite sharp with his analysis of his Beef Wellington compared to the others. He’ll be one to watch.

I appreciate it’s onlyEp2, however some are starting to get more camera time. We’re starting to learn who they are. We’re starting to be gobsmacked at their “skills” in the kitchen (seriously, Skye, put the hippychick thing on hold, huh? Uncooked food specialist? As I said last night, all I need is for you to be into molecular gastronomy & my feelings will be solidified).

The producers already are delivering a pacey show, on par with the last few weeks of Season1. They’ve got this down to a fine art, so the rollercoaster ups and downs will only be bigger and longer. I don’t think my heart (or my tweeting fingers) will be able to control themselves…

I like Alvin. I’m not sure he’ll win it but he’s getting my support.
I think Johnathon is a little too full of himself. He didn’t look happy when he didn’r get the feedback he wanted. I have to say the lawyer gal is looking pretty much the Masterchef dream at the moment: smart, attractive and a decent cook. Could be a C10 dream. I hope so for her sake to as she’s made it quite clear she’s over the law.

That guy with the big floppy hat and glasses seriously looks like a Sam Simmons. Not to mention Alvin kind of looks like comedian Hung Le.
