Celebrity Masterchef 2015

[Trabi601]

Hmmm. Not so sure about that.

[Riley Blue]

That was a surprise, I really genuinely didn't rate him as highly as the other finalists.

[DoctorX]

He grates on me. Technically accomplished, but I don't want to eat his food as much as the others.

[boxst]

The winner was well deserved, what surprised me most was that Jimmy Osmond comes across as a thoroughly nice chap. Not that i thought he was evil beforehand, but he just seems cool.

Hope it's Jimmy, seems a nice chap.

He's brilliant, isn't he?

So enthusiastic, everything is 'awesome'. He's just loving the experience.

He's so likeable, one of the very few celebrities I'd actually like to meet

I was sorry Jimmy didn't win, but could kind of see why when it was based a LOT on the last meal.

All through the competition Jimmy came across as a very friendly, happy person. Always positive. Not, "That was tough, never again!", but more, "That was a great experience. Awesome! Loved it!"



Lisa Faulner, though, whilst a fitty, I always wondered WHY/HOW she won.
To my mind it should have been "Soup Strainer" Dick Strawbridge who'd wiped the floor with her all through the competition that year.

Still, she shacked up with JT, so I guess we know ....

Place your bets Ladies and Gentlemen...

On the basis of not having a clue about many of them I'm going to go for Debbie McGee to win. With a main course that involves rabbit and a hat. Maybe I should put £5 on at the bookies

[Japveesix]

I might watch this year just to see if Rachel Stevens is still as lovely as she was on Strictly a few years back and in S Club a good few years before that!

[Laurel Green]

Ding dong! Starts this evening at 8 o'clock.

[Athlon]

Was going to watch this but the new series about the RNLI starts on BBC2 at the same time.

Can't you programme the video?

[Laurel Green]

Yep, I'm recording the RNLI for later viewing.

[Laurel Green]

Henri Leconte looks to know what an end of a spoon looks like and, is fun too.

[smack]

I haven't watched this for years due to work and never being the country, but I got sucked in by Rachel Stevens making an appearance.

Henri is clearly mad, and that Soho meat place - I have died and gone to heaven

Turning out to be a fine - if slightly average skills - bunch. All coping with first rounds.

My money's on Hendry - said he couldn't multitask, but he MUST be good at planning......

That burger taco didn't look very appetising but I'm sure it tasted good.

[K12beano]

Nah - made a completely wrong call there, didn't I?

We'll see.......

[Laurel Green]

Greg's shrug just then has taken gurning to a whole new level.

[MellowshipSlinky]

Hendry will excel when it comes to the pizza making round...
