I'm very nervous.

Oh gosh.... it's  really dreadful

Oh God!

His whole round is a disaster....

How could he have got it soooooo wrong

Both the lads had a bad round....

Do you think they made him lash up for effect???? Or is that me being very cynical.... cos I just can't see how he can have gone from the best in the show to the worst....

*waves at Amythist.... and hopes she is watching* And if so, I know she will be feeling as  and  as we are....

I think the " if you do this again I'm going to send you home" comment was just for show.

And what Gregg's saying is utter rubbish.

The main reason for Larkin's being a disaster was because his mango shell fell over.

They were just trying to milk it, IMO.

Glad it's not just me then....

Natalie has suddenly become flavour of the month too...

I wonder if they have given Larkin the pudding.... if so, it's a fix, cos pudding is not his forte!!!!

Saira is cooking guess what..... curry!!!!

And they were trying to 'big-up' Saira. Making out that she could cook other than Asian. She can, I suppose, but just in a bog-standard way, but not to the level that is demanded for the standard that they should be drmonstrating at this level.

I agree  And they are knocking Larkin down before they have even seen his dish!!!

I have an awful feeling that they are building up to ditching Larkin

And as far as 'big fine-dining' chef's comment about 'I'm not even going to taste this' makes a bigger fool of him than of Larkin.

He should have tasted it and given Larkin the benefit of his experience and some helpful constructive criticism. Instead he gives him smarmy snideyness.

Oh nooooooooooooooo

The oven's not on! Sabbotage?

Yes.... I've never liked him..... he's a right supercilious man IMO!

Let's just say that I am very, very, very suspicious about his sudden *fall from grace*!!!

I'm not liking Natalie's starter....

Fiona Fullerton is ageing well.... unlike some of the others

I reckon they should have given Larkin the starter, cos he would have excelled at that!

I think there are too many elements on Dale's dish...

I fear Larkin is going to be gone EFFT

At least none of the others are exactly having an easy time either.

And now John is helping her!!

No, but it's the judges bias that is annoying me EFFT

Now, he good have gone and got that plate for him I'm fuming!!!

Saira's sauce looks cold - is it meant to be?

Her chicken wasn't cooked at the time it was expected.

John says "what are we going to do?"

Silence fron Saira.

He suggests something and she agrees.

And now SHE has done very well.

That plate looks beautiful.....

 Annoying isn't it......

Lovely tart in the end from Larkin. Beautifully presented.

Yes, but Greg still criticised it....... so I reckon Larkin's card is marked well and truly

The food in the end was reasonably tasty and edible, but the guests have no idea what went on between the raw ingredients and what was served up to them!

I am very disappointed... I thought we would at least have Larkin until the final three.. Anyway, thanks for the company EFFT.... see you tomorrow.... if we can bear it

Yes, it does seem as though it's going to be an uphill struggle for Larkin now.

Off to watch the Grizzlies now, See you tomorrow.

going to watch it on iplayer later.....went to a and e yesterday and my wrist is well and truly broken, very badly and may need an operation which is a real pain, cant drive or go to work....etc....but at least ive got a lovely yellow cast ...may go for purple if they change it next week

see you later....
