Good grief

didn't we see a programme where they were doing that -or was that another bridge?

But he won’t get as far as the other judges .....only two go through

Oh yes, I forgot this wasn’t the final.....I’m a day ahead of myself🤪🤪

Looks effective

Good old Percy Shaw - the epitome of the "garden shed" British inventor.

That looks well dodgy !

But is it really viable for mass catering....Elf and safety would have a breakdown

wow that is a bit

I think Tom will be getting brownie points for innovation here...

Poor Gareth

Totally agree - as I said yesterday, many of the chefs seem to be paying lip-service to that, and it's probably another flaw in the show's format...

Poor Gareth

Sadly, that's almost certainly him going home...

Yes.....it does seem to be excessive🤣

I actually think they should find a way to mark anonymously......perhaps keep the guest judge out of the kitchen ......in fact I think I prefer the old format ....

See , Gareth came out first in the blind tasting

Bias is always evident when they know who does what....it’s the same with Masterchef and Bake Off

I didn't see the older ones but agree with anonymous - this format lends itself to  choosing your fave

Yes, but he still thought it was him

He knew whose was who

It used to be the case that they all went in front of the 4 judges for every course .....which I think was fairer
