Masterchef: The Professionals

the large prawns with the rabbit was inspired. I have had something similar from Tom Kitchin in the past. Shame to see the Maltese girl go, she had a lot of drive

i thought it was the right decision that Alison left last night, she was just too nervous all the time, and she would have served the critics overdone souffle's if MRjr hadnt of guided her into taking them out 2 minutes early

I didn't see her first appearance on the show but I got the impression she was autistic or suffers from severe anxiety or similar; she seemed incredibly erratic and unable to express herself.

Her work seemed very binary and no matter her obvious passion, she needed to go as she was simply not up to scratch.

She's a woman, yes. She was very emotional, yes. She suffered from Autism? :eek:

I need to remember her name, but she has shedloads of potential.

She seems a fantastic 'one dish' chef but the trail at the end of last night's episode seemed to suggest she'll struggle in the professional kitchen.

I'm rooting for her though. There's a certain amount of humility about her that isn't present in some of the other chefs on show last night.

Such connections were not drawn by me - only you

My reasonings were more that she appeared to have glimpses of sheer brilliance amidst manic, uncommunicable spells which seemed to be exacerbated when any element went wrong.

I think they made the right decision this evening. I wasn't keen on Perry - seemed a bit up himself, "I don't find any aspect of cooking difficult."

Ash was superb tonight. Really, really good. Will be some effort to beat him in the final

great great show.

i just hope they do another series of service now.

Be interesting to see who goes through to the final now (I'd say the girl) but can't see either of them beating the Tasmanian, so well done him for winning

Ash is good and a strong contender for winning it, but I have a feeling it'll be a close final.

I just can't see what she could possibly do to beat him? He litterally has answers to every question. I was laughing a lot last night. Greg was on top form as usual with faces/expressions/ridiculous comments

silent · 7 Dec 2011 at 12:48

the girl with the white hair, dark horse her and could supprise if she pulls it out of the bag!

Participant · 7 Dec 2011 at 13:01

Ash will win barring a major balls up. He's just awesome.

Ash has been consistently outstanding throughout. Claire is on a skyward improvement and is showing no signs of stopping so it all depends where she plateaus off.

silent · 7 Dec 2011 at 13:45

she has pulled cracking food out of the bag in the last few shows to. it will be interesting to see if she maintains it i agree, but don't rule her out!

if he keeps up the high standard he set from the start - it's his to win. every dish looks awesome!

As much as I'd watch nearly anything with MRjr I thought the Service didn't really have anywhere interesting to go after the first couple episodes. Would be content just seeing him cook stuff, but then the whole TV chef thing is a bit beneath him.
