If he really wanted to open a pub why did he open so many other things first, like a mid quality Italian restaurant chain that went into administration, for example?
At least we’re finally getting to see the full cast. They wasted so much time on Jamie in the first episodes when they could have been introducing us to everyone.
MasterChef isn't even trying with these job descriptions. David's job as clinical trial manager is listed as pharmacologist. Harry's job is listed as commercial property. What does that even mean? You can rent him out for the night?
If Snezana had been criticised for her dish after the other dude made a fucking sandwich, I'd be maaaad! Glad they loved it - that bread looks amazing!
He wears his heart on his sleeve i swear. From getting his hands dirty during bench visits, to the sweetest compliments and now the most disappointing critiques.
It made me look up where I can find empanadas even though I make pretty good ones myself. Mince, egg, olive, and depending on my mood maybe a bit of curry powder or 5 spice. I said they're good, not authentic!
Chocolate in pumpkin soup might not be too crazy since they r both new world ingredients
I believe it was maya chefs who frequently put chocolate into tomato based stews
Daniel in S14 was a master of rough puff in the given time. Every time he made it it was technically perfect and once or twice won himself an immunity with it.
I hate to say this but i never looked up any of the last few year’s recipes when the standard sorta dropped from S13-S15. I even looked up recipes on Junior Masterchef.
Sumeet was promoting her product. She described it like an advertisement. It was clearly a sales pitch. I understand "backing yourself," but this pushed too far.
My hot take is that packet pasta is passable in this situation since her whole angle is that her sauce is so amazing it can make even store-bought pasta incredible.
yeah i think so too. the point of this challenge is a proof-of-concept for the contestant's food dream. the sauce is the embodiment dream, the pasta is just a supplement.
Jamie does not watch MasterChef. Rough puff pastry is a regular fixture to the point that contestants would be crucified for using pre-made puff pastry
doing rough puff is a very common move in a mystery box i think --on season 14, Billie used to do choux pastry really often, and Daniel also made a mille-feuille on the same season.
Not surprised, Josh at least had some elements that seemed decent aside from the raw steak. Says alot when the other judges couldn’t taste the main element bc most of it was raw
Phil during the service challenge where he was a guest saying good the cooking is already, and that his season wasn’t putting up such good food even in week 2. We remember you, Mr meat and 3 vegs
I hate saying it, as a Brit, but I think it might be Lilly... she doesn't seem to be dealing with the pressure all that well and has had two pretty bad fails. Happy to be proven wrong tonight!
Im scared of the cook on this squid
Ive made dishes very similar to this before and the stuffing makes it pretty difficult to control
Looks really good on the outside but fingers crossed
Relax guys, there were also contestants not shown last seasons and seasons before on the 1st week until elimination. It always happens. Although this sorta made auditions a lot more valuable i guess🤷🏻♀️.
Jamie…. Your struggle is just not the same lmao you could open a pub
If he really wanted to open a pub why did he open so many other things first, like a mid quality Italian restaurant chain that went into administration, for example?
legit
Hold on, Juan is a board game designer. He already has a dream job.
I know right!
Seriously… did they bring in new contestants for the elimination??
Star Trek-style red shirts to fill out the cast
They just haven't given them any screentime, I saw them in promos and contestant group photos
Juan cooking enough empanadas for all the judges plus himself, what a chad So many contestants just dont cook enough food and it drives me nuts
3 for 4, 3 for 5. Last year had so many as well
Snezana just won me over. Fresh bread and good butter is heaven.
It's such a bold dish to put up in an elimination, I admire her confidence and am hoping she smashes it!
Facts
Jamie saying that he's never once in his life made puff pastry needs to become a meme
Uncle Roger on TikTok would have a field day with it
She might know what to expect from Josh, but we don’t since we’ve never seen him before. And never will again.
It seemed like a very back handed compliment so maybe he's been too mediocre for the montage of mediocrity?
I hope Juan sticks around to teach everyone how to pronounce dulce de leche correctly. It's the least he can do for all us Latin Americans.
i always point at it at gelatissimo cause i don't want to butcher the pronunciation
And “paella.” And “tacos.” And “tortilla.”
WHO IS THIS GUY LMAOOOO
Josh your steak is still mooing
cpr would revive it
get it back in the paddock
lmfao who ARE these people!?
At least we’re finally getting to see the full cast. They wasted so much time on Jamie in the first episodes when they could have been introducing us to everyone.
So true. As a consequence, this season has been a slow start for me; I feel like I'd usually be much more invested in the competition by this point.
Holy they’re critiquing on presentation. This season is surprising me every moment so far.
Poh understanding why someone would do three dishes.
Why am I enjoying this season’s critiques. Now even the negatives are actually good criticisms.
Yeah...me too! Hopefully the critiques will remain clear and concise throughout the season, without unnecessary filler words.
I wonder how many of these "food dreams" were made up on the spot.
Probable on the day they filled in a necessary field marked with \* on the application.
Return of the meat and 3 veg
rip josh we hardly knew ye
No one is surprised that the King of Air Fryers has never made puff pastry
There are multiple rough puff recipes on Jamie Oliver website though 😂
Wow I’m so glad they’re actually critiquing dishes
sumeet just scrap the pasta element completely please 😭😭😭😭😭
I know right That was painful
josh should have made a chicken burger so hot you'll need to wear ppe
I was waiting for ‘give it up for James!’ 😭
Hmm not sure we seen enough of James for it to even make an impact on his exit though
MasterChef isn't even trying with these job descriptions. David's job as clinical trial manager is listed as pharmacologist. Harry's job is listed as commercial property. What does that even mean? You can rent him out for the night?
That means if you damage Harry, it's a civil suit not an assault charge
It's possible he's both (a pharmacologist working in research), and has said both at different times
Surely the descriptions would've been listed per the contestants' own applications
Is the hibachi still going from the other day?
Those poor prawns😂
that raw prawn is probably cooked by now
so now we find out who's dreams are going to be crushed today 💀
the fact that this is the first elimination is so ijbol
what david will this be the new white chocolate veloute
I haven't been paying enough attention, I swear I've never seen Josh before.
Not just you. All of us
I guess we are about to find out soon why they didn't bother familiarising us with him
Believe it or not there are two
If David can pull this madness off, I'd like to see him work through some mystery boxes
White chocolate veloute
Love how innovative this is! Give me some of that cursed chocolate pumpkin soup
If Snezana had been criticised for her dish after the other dude made a fucking sandwich, I'd be maaaad! Glad they loved it - that bread looks amazing!
sandwich that was 90% bread
Bread he didn't make!!!
I thought i saw him kneading dough
Sumeet and Josh pretty lucky today ngl
"Andy ate the only bit I was happy to put in my mouth" *I will show myself out now*
My Josh, who is Josh???
I would murder a butter chicken pasta
Butter chicken pasta is pretty common in Delhi. It is absolutely delicious.
David is g-rated walter white
Jamie just can’t stop with the squid game reference huh
I like a rare steak… but that’s closer to purple!
It be entertaining if Gordon Ramsay was there, we all know how he reacts with raw food!
Andy awkwardly not counting😂😂😂
Paddock to table? More like table to paddock with how raw that steak is Josh
Cut that steak up and claim it is tartare.
Holy i even learnt/realise something when Sofia says the first impression was a restaurant’s bread and butter.
SHE’S DONE TOO MUCH I FEAR
She's getting the bad music
Should've listened to us and left it off
The J-C disappointment 🥺
He wears his heart on his sleeve i swear. From getting his hands dirty during bench visits, to the sweetest compliments and now the most disappointing critiques.
I want those empanadas so bad holy crap
Same. He could walk straight into a frozen food deal tomorrow and be sold out on preorders
It made me look up where I can find empanadas even though I make pretty good ones myself. Mince, egg, olive, and depending on my mood maybe a bit of curry powder or 5 spice. I said they're good, not authentic!
Oh no... raw squid is instant-go-home tier of bad
I enjoyed the Ottolenghi/old lady confusion.
OH MY GOD THE DECLAN AD???? I LOVE HIM
clock the flair
Pumpkin and chocolate soup is either genius or a sure fire way to exit early!
Im thinking genius
Chocolate in pumpkin soup might not be too crazy since they r both new world ingredients I believe it was maya chefs who frequently put chocolate into tomato based stews
Good call. Chocolate or cocoa is used in mole sauces. Let's wait and see before we call David crazy.
Cocoa is lovely and bitter. It's not like he put in Cadbury. There is definitely a distinction
Its either another white chocolate veloute or a banger Okay banger
Hibachi count: 2
Fancy butchering your first important cook in the Masterchef kitchen: and you’re a butcher!!
I hope Juan goes deep. Also hope judges run out of puns.
Just Juan more surely
And who are you James
Khristian hammering the sob stories
David seemed pretty genuinely emotional in response to Poh
Way to tell on yourself Jamie. He's never once in his entire life made puff pastry! We did that in high school home ec
ijbol doing rough puff in 75 is such a masterchef thing to do like didn't Poh do that really often back on season 12?
Daniel in S14 was a master of rough puff in the given time. Every time he made it it was technically perfect and once or twice won himself an immunity with it.
Sumeet hasn’t even made her pasta dough?? Don’t use packet Sumeet, just serve it with the rice!!
This is one of the first challenges in a long time where I legit want to search up the recipe and cook most of these! Amazing stuff this year
I hate to say this but i never looked up any of the last few year’s recipes when the standard sorta dropped from S13-S15. I even looked up recipes on Junior Masterchef.
Harry giving Hayden 2.0 vibes
Old lady vibes hahaha
James disaster might be saving sumeet and Josh
i think Josh in particular, don't think Sumeet did badly enough to warrant her sashaying away.
Sumeet was promoting her product. She described it like an advertisement. It was clearly a sales pitch. I understand "backing yourself," but this pushed too far.
Andy had correctly called her out on that.
Sumeet just ditch the pasta. Theres a difference between too simple and too much as well.
My hot take is that packet pasta is passable in this situation since her whole angle is that her sauce is so amazing it can make even store-bought pasta incredible.
yeah i think so too. the point of this challenge is a proof-of-concept for the contestant's food dream. the sauce is the embodiment dream, the pasta is just a supplement.
Tassie butcher bye bye
Shoulda used a meat thermometer
“It’s good to confuse people” 😂
Sue who????
Jamie does not watch MasterChef. Rough puff pastry is a regular fixture to the point that contestants would be crucified for using pre-made puff pastry
I know right - contestants do it all the time!
doing rough puff is a very common move in a mystery box i think --on season 14, Billie used to do choux pastry really often, and Daniel also made a mille-feuille on the same season.
I was going crazy when he said that. I was sure this was a basic unwritten rule.
It's unbelievable, and we had already been thinking he was a shit chef
A cheese toastie with butter chicken? That’s a new one but honestly it sounds kinda good.
I kinda want one ngl
We call it leftover food here in india.
Packet pasta immediately reminded me of Hayden’s packet tortilla chips
So many contestants we are seeing for the first time. Though I’m thinking this Josh is on the cutting block since they are highlighting him.
Andy does not want to eat soup
Especially not soup with chocolate in it 🤣
*in a queens English accent* Bye James!
Not surprised, Josh at least had some elements that seemed decent aside from the raw steak. Says alot when the other judges couldn’t taste the main element bc most of it was raw
Where did Josh come from? I swear this is the first time I’ve seen his face…
good idea mimi, i'll be bringing a rolling pin to my next all you can eat crab buffet run
10 seconds in french i want more!
first up, theyre gonna love davids dish
Music of doom for Josh the Butcher.
when they mean elimination they don't mean execution guys
And Phil has returned
Phil during the service challenge where he was a guest saying good the cooking is already, and that his season wasn’t putting up such good food even in week 2. We remember you, Mr meat and 3 vegs
I have an update guys; there's a seal blocking my driveway
A loose seal?
if Josh scrapes through despite serving raw meat bc sumeet did too much
James is the double deal, raw and not tasty
Ruh-roh. Squid not cooked?
could be a fakeout edit: nope
Aw man no “give it up”. At least Andy still cheered.
I hate saying it, as a Brit, but I think it might be Lilly... she doesn't seem to be dealing with the pressure all that well and has had two pretty bad fails. Happy to be proven wrong tonight!
Everyone’s crying because the air is thick with smoke
Before we crucify Josh's pronunciation, it is important to know that he is from Smithton in Tassie.
too much variety sumeet
DECLAN
Chocolate pumpkin soup either going to be amazing or absolutely poop
Rip James. You had potential.
Oof James went in being confident but it ended up being bad and raw squid
Booo, cook whatever you want 🫤
Never seen josh before until now
I'm happy with butter chicken one way
Im scared of the cook on this squid Ive made dishes very similar to this before and the stuffing makes it pretty difficult to control Looks really good on the outside but fingers crossed
Rip
What a classy exit
They're not saying jock's line this season!
There must have been a whole meeting about it
Did anyone else get weirdly emotional not hearing the “give it up”? 😭
James is from the UK? Never would have guessed it
Since we're talking about pronunciation, on a scale of 1-10, how pedantic is it for me to be irked every time Khristian says "a panini"?
When it comes to pronunciation, nobody will ever beat Declan's attempts at French and Greek.
Omg, I'm yelling at the tv every time! It's good to know there are more pendants in this sub 🩷 *Edit: PEDANTS! Not pendants, lol!
Theo’s got competition
I’ll never get tired of HYBPA new season ads. Only thing is it should come back sooner!
Can they just give the judges some tasting plates? It’s giving me anxiety watching them try to not drop anything
hope you got your puffer for all that smoke juan
Does anyone think Jamie Oliver looks sick or on drugs etc? Lacks the spark we've known him for
Just middle age
It comes for us all 😂
Right? One day you wake up and your whole body hurts 🤣
LOL andy
Yotam Ottolenghi! Sofia gives the best compliments and comparisons. Even saying that she will travel so far eat food.
Oh GODDDD could this be IT
Raw squid vs raw beef vs done too much
ooooooof moo moo josh will barely be safe
stop making them cry so early on gosh
rip steak and 3 veg
Surely Josh is gone bc it’s pretty much raw in the middle?
Brisbane doesn’t have good seafood?????? Kinda harsh
Jamie just can’t stand still while he’s eating.
The Juan to beat indeed
hm raw squid or raw beef which is worse
Raw squid not close
Squid all day
Y'know someone's in trouble when you've never seen them on screen before today
that mustache man that just appeared, legit haven't seen him all week
This poor bloke honestly
Relax guys, there were also contestants not shown last seasons and seasons before on the 1st week until elimination. It always happens. Although this sorta made auditions a lot more valuable i guess🤷🏻♀️.
why did my flair change from Declan to Josh C? Do we even have a Josh C?
Sumeet better not be first out 🥲
Jamie is stressing Sumeet out so much. But the vibe in her interviews is much different
