All those eminent QC's and judges......

Should be easy enough to bribe your way through to the next round then!

Baz

monsieur roux of the piercing stare.

 Hi Cosmo

Haha or offer them a few minutes with a whip in the dungeon

Menu sounds good so far.

back at you all.

Andrews doing a lot of hair flicking and smiling

Those pears sound nice....

Yes..... and Aki has her wide eyed look on

I hope Aki cocks up tonight.

What a rotten job to have - all that veg peeling!

Aki could fit in that pan 

There's an idea! 

....but it could affect Eamonn and I like him.

It's a dimella what to wish for

are they being judged in teams then?

Aki is a very messy cook....

Dunno?  But she could balls it up and it could affect him perhaps...?

Doh!  Why is she working from front to back?

it's not very realistic though is it      The chefs wouldn't be peeling all those shallots, would they?   they are dead slow though

cos she's thick?

I hope Tom doesn't go tonight, cos I quite like him.....

I agree with the Torode the boys need to chef(or the kitchen equivilent of man) up

Andrew needs to spend less time working out how long its going to take and get on and do it

I do too Baz

You'd expect an army of kitchen helpers

Fair point, well made.

Me too, Baz.  Again, I hope Andrew's mistakes (if any) don't impact on him.

I'm really not sure how this is going to work with regards to judging

That mousse looks a bit

I think we have time to serve this then go back and do their own dish in the studio?  I'm hoping it's just their individual performances that are appraised here

its a disaster that chocolate stuff

Yes.... that's what I am worried about.... cos I think the judges really favour Andrew, so if it came to a chose between the two.... And Sheleema has suddenly lost the plot too.... and I like her as well!

I think that's what Baz and I are hoping for too

Im sure their individual performance as well as the ability to work as a team is taken into account

I like Shelina....still not sure about Tom

Starter looks quite nice....

This is a bit ridiculous.  You wouldn't have a whole team of newbies for an important dinner like this, so therefore you wouldn't be AS behind with serving it up.

A nice firm fish lol

Oh dear.... Tom isn't having a good day

true but they are putting the drama in

and theyve got the head chef lurking about who has probably made one earlier

that main sounds nice.. but it looks yuck

I like the main too..... but I would need my beef burnt

looks good

Andrew is a wuss....8 hours of non stop work.....hello thats half a shift in lots of places
