I did actually read the rules of the forum, I always do....
I removed a link to here after I read the rules the second time as I wasn't sure of them. I didn't feel that smilies were considered links. They didn't link to anything but an external site with smilies!
I also would understand a 'slap over the wrist', but feel a ban is like using a sledgehammer to push in a drawing pin. >:(

don't worry about it MJ, in the scheme of things their actions seem a trifle over the top, but i suppose as soon as they saw the links they acted upon it regardless of what they were. at least we appreciate the funny side of the animations  :)  keep them coming  ;D

I'm really over it CP63, but was initially very miffed. I don't even bother looking at the Masterchef site anymore. The whole program is a bit of a let down. And as for Master Class - I call it Master Farce! There's barely anything that they've taught the contestants that would be worthy of being named a Master Class.

I quite like the Master Class, as I've learnt a few things from it.  Since seeing Gary butcher the chicken and making it look so easy, I've started buying whole chickens and butchering them myself.  Saves a fortune ($4/kilo for chicken breasts), and I can make great chicken stock which is perfect for this time of year.

But sometimes Masterclass is rather elementary - berries + yoghurt + blender = frozen yoghurt?

I quite like it for myself too. I have leant things from Masterclass ... BUT if these people are supposed to be our TOP amateur Chefs then the classes are quite basic. I am sick of hearing "I have never...."

I agree, I have picked up a few things from the Master class but certainly haven't been watching all of Masterchef this time round.  I think there are only a couple of good cooks in the making, and the rest need to go home and forget about it!

I would love to think that Callum could do it but I'm tipping Skye to win  :D

Since it was a female last series, I imagine the winner will be male. I reckon it will be Jonathon.
I like Marion.

I've only seen a couple of Master Farces, so haven't learned anything I didn't already know. I learned heaps from Master Chef UK.

 ;D All the forum people HATE Jowaaaane!

I'm not fond of Jonathon, but I feel he has the talent. The young boys are doing really well. Callum may just make it.

I thought the Molecular Gastronomy Challenge was just daft. All Heston Blumenthal, which I absolutely hate. I don't have a chance to eat out often enough to get so bored with food that I have to play with it that much.

Mentioned Thermomixed twice on tonights episode. Great that it was on such a high calibre episode, showing 'arguably the world's best chef' uses TMXs.
