So, Nicole’s going home, right? Do we even need to watch this? Arum and Callan have had too much airtime, and Arum should be battle hardened by being in so many elimination tests.
Tonight the bottom three contestants from the Peter Gilmore coconut shavings challenge have three hours and 45 minutes to recreate Paul Carmichael’s Bajan fish fry from Momofuku Seiobo. One will be eliminated.
You can read about chef Paul, who grew up in Barbados, here.
Glad it’s not a dessert test this time.
Yes, promo showed Callan is a goner but we know otherwise. Barbie could be going home
Barbie in big trouble
Every time I look up it seems she’s having an issue.
Especially saying “capsicun”
Maybe it will be Arum…
Callan did a brilliant sobbing performance.
Luckily Arum dishes were delicious.
Callan will be moved on to Neighbours after this silky performance.
Paul Carmichael looks a bit like a snapper in some shots !
I don’t normally watch this show, but I caught the end of it tonight while I was waiting for “Have You Been Paying Attention?”
Is it normal that there were more judges than there were contestants? Like, is that how this one works?
Saying that it “works” is a little too kind.
Yeah and after each contestant is eliminated, the judges get to eat the loser. That’s why they are looking more and more portly
Hardcore.
But I guess that’s one way channel 10 is saving money on catering.
Just tuned in as Nicole was saying her goodbyes. As expected. So now I’m fast forwarding through it because I want to see how that fish is filleted whole! How tasty does Paul’s food look!
But they made him carry all those dishes! Unless the board was made of fake wood?
Perhaps I will watch it all. I’m up to the bit where Paul looks at Callan’s butchering of the fish and says “Shit – the carnage.” He’s already more entertaining than Heston.
Finally, Barbie goes to her resting place – either to Ken or a job as a Channel 9 weather girl … because ‘synoptic charts have always been my dream.’
Is Eloise an empath or something? She seemed to be crying for everyone throughout the whole ‘cook.’
Happy that Callan survived. I guess he must’ve had a birthday during filming as last week , he was 18 and now 19.
That crying made me like Eloise a bit more! You could see the peanut gallery were thanking their lucky stars it wasn’t them having to fillet the fish and all the rest.
I saw the first bit where She Who Can’t Be Named gathered air time (from the gantry) by sobbing mendaciously that she had “alimination empathy”. I had to turn off.
Nicole is opening a pop up market. No mention of her going out there and getting experience.
Chef Carmichael yelling at Nicole to stop reading the recipe and calling Callan’s fish carnage. That’s a big change from most other guests chefs and the stooges.
Isnt a pop up market is just like someone selling their stuff in a weekly market?
Not sure what is her specialty. No stand out dishes from her. Previous contestants good at ice creams, sauces, chutney, cakes etc have started their stalls.
From https://www.star1019.com.au/breakfast-with-rob/rob-s-blog/
“Nicoleās Le Croquette market stall is set to pop up in Brisbane soon. She still dreams of setting up her own French-Vietnamese fusion restaurant.”
Can see her having a stall in the markets but a restaurant will be a very long shot.
MC just want to give the impression that they are all doing well after MC.
Wasn’t one of the contestants who was actually rather good – headband Samuel – ALREADY running a market stall? How is this a great outcome from the ”experience”?
You are spot on LP – Masterchef talking up the massive impact their show has.
I’m dreaming of being a 50kg supermodel, but i think like Nicole, my dreams may perhaps be unrealised.
I only watched two snippets of this show (during House Rules ads) and in the first, someone was being told “slow down, take a few minutes and read the recipe through”, and in the second, two separate judges said “forget the recipe, you know how to cook, just feel what you need to do”.
WT…?
Yeah they always seem to contradict themselves like that.
Oh my God, Callan mutilated that poor fish. The other 2 didn’t seem to have any trouble with theirs.
Nicole made the cardinal sin or leaving bones in hers. I knew she was a goner then.
Now I’ve seen the fish butchering, I’m convinced Callan can win Ma$terchef.
Thread for tonight is finally up. I couldn’t be bothered watching it live
