"It's going to be one hellava...

Not me- I'm stuck with a crappy hotel choice of CNN or BBC World rubbish.

I have already asked H three times to record it for me. I'm now toying with the idea of calling again just to check but I fear this will cause irritation ?

Call him, KN, better safe than sorry ?

I've been to Arzak, it's amazing.

H has it on. I want the young maaaaan to win.

Me! Although half an hour behind! (Sky Plus)

THIS is where it gets seeeeeeeeeriously tough!

Me! "This will be our toughest decision ever..."

I'm still rooting for Mat I'm afraid

BEING ASKED TO RECORD SOMETHING DOESN'T GET ANY TOUGHER THAN THIS.

Ooh are they all in one place or different places? I would like to see Masterchef does El Bulli ?

Is it just me, or have they cut the budget this year? Last time they were flying them to the Amazon and stuff.

Go CCA! <pompoms>

I'm gunning for Mat. Although I think Andy will win.

What is it that they actually win? Apart from the kudos, of course...

Disaster. Am pinned to sofa with feeding babe, TV off, H in kitchen can't hear my plaintive cries. What's happening?

My fecking MIL rang at 7.58 ?

Thank god for Sky Plus but am half an hour behind now. I might be switching allegiances from Mat to CCA, who I had gone off because he reminds me of my ex. I am fickle though and I'm now liking him because he reminds me of my ex.

Oh noez! Phone him! I'm afraid Mat is favourite to win.

Me, nearly crunch time!

Nooo. I am a comeback kid woman.

I'm watching. Am expecting Matt to win.

I have to admit, I'm getting rather annoyed with all the filler in this show. They state the obvious and repeat things all the time in an X-Factor fashion. There seems to be very little on the actual food.

Greg's accent! I thought he said he could have barfed in it which threw me!?

?

?

I've found that all series. Not enough on the food, too much close up of ingredients expert Greg Wallace saying "now that's what I call flavour".

I also dislike the bit where the contestants have to say how much they want it, which always seems unfair on those who aren't emotionally incontinent cliche-spouting idiots.

Yeah!

Boo hiss!!!!

(and the TT song was wonderful!!! ?)

Am slightly laughing at the notion that they werent up to scratch somehow. The pressure theyre under is phenominal, and i thought they all did incrdibly well. mat definitely deserved to win, he d progressed the farthest from when he started, and his menu last night was amazing.

keep in mind that when they practice their dishes at home, they know their own ovens and hobs etc, where everyting is. in the mchef studio, the hobs are convection rings, and of course, youre using different ovens. in short, its incredibly difficult.

? torode is on bbc breakfast, and just called mat Ming the Merciless ?

That is what I called him too, first time I saw him ?

I am glad Mat won ?

I thought that Spanish restaurant (Arzak?) looked amazing. Imagine keeping 3 michelin stars for 20 years, wow. What an achievement.
