The ladies gave the men a kicking in the first round - think the old chap should do well in the next round with his experience.

He was shaking a bit on the way in.

I do like Greg's "I've lost some weight, and I'm ready to get fat again"

"Today we might uncover a star" Does John know something we don't? Time will tell, no doubt.

A raw duck a souffle. Interesting how different some of them are a bit of pressure.

Random but does anyone know what the 'happy' piano music is at the end?

Sound hound tells me it was an instrumental version of Another Love by Tom Odell.

Nice soufflé.

With regard to his duck. There is no way it should ever be served that uncooked right? I ask because last year I went to a swanky restaurant in Greenwich that had a clay baked duck as its signature dish. It had been raved about in The Guardian and given great reviews. When it arrived and the clay was broken that was what we were served - big thick chunks of red raw bloody duck. We didn't make a fuss - in the usual British way - but I always suspected that rather than me being an ignorant peasant who didn't appreciate rare cooked duck, that it was just fking not cooked properly. Thoughts?

What, like lamb which has now been deicided its ok to be red raw in the middle? Or veg, which can now be burnt? Taztptes change. Probably by the end of the series, uncooked duck wil be fine...

But a lesson to us all to stop pissing around with stupid vacuum packed water baths and just cook food properly!

The only meat that should be served bloody is steak. Thats it even joints of beef so just be pink.

I shudder at how raw people serve up venison, pigeon duck and lamb.

Steak should be served how you asked for it.

I don't mind rare venison, so long as it's the right cut and from a young animal.

A finalist there I think. That pork dish looked so simple but so tasty.
