Might as well have called it “The Eloise Show” tonight.

Complete an utter fail by Eloise!
What a shame people weren’t sent home.

I felt a bit sorry for Chef Cadaver (I’ve got no chance of writing it properly). He clearly is going to lose at least one star as well as his credibility from his restaurant from having Masterchef in town.

Jayblossom

I also initially thought the restaurant was called Cadaver.

Carole Morrissey

Yeah she lucked out getting that fish which she had no clue what to do with. Plus they are fiddly & time consuming to fillet & de bone.

Not watching until later, but wanted to leave this here: somebody on Reddit made an episode-by-episode confessional chart to see how much airtime each contestant gets. And it’s not just “a feeling” that this season is Mastamaraloise Australia this year.
Hope it’s ok to post the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/MasterchefAU/comments/6km3v5/masterchef_australia_2017_week_9_confessional/

Hope it’s also ok to make a spreadsheet out of it….
No surprise when you look at people like Nicole who have gone home.
It’s not how much time they get at the beginning but who gets more time towards the end, IMO. eg. Look at Diana, just trotting along with the pack, now this past few weeks on the rise. Same for Sarah and Callan. In saying that some peak prior to leaving.

Jayblossom

Tonight was a refreshingly Tamara free evening as I started watching late and must have missed her dish.
Although Sarah does appear to have washed her hair recently I’m finding her increasingly annoying.
I’m definitely team Ben and team Diana.

Littlepetal

Same with me, JB. Team Ben and Team Diana. Finally I really want Ben to win. At the beginning, I thought Ben, the ex model will be full of himself. But he is humble.

Carole Morrissey

Yeah she was first & after her dish was finished was no need to show her any more.

Von

It’s just started here. What did Eliza call it – a dig-a-station menu? Haha, okay then, Eliza, you dig.

Littlepetal

Love it, Von. From now on I will call it dig-a-station menu

And Karlie called it a Michelarrn restaurant. MC contestants never let you down for butchering language.

Stacey

Anyone catch Diana say broff instead of broth?

lulu

I really want the immunity pin … the pin is so important at this stage of the competition … this could be a disaster … I really don’t want to go home … I really want to be tasted(!) … I’m hoping my chicken/fish/pork/whatever is perfectly cooked … this could be a life-changer … etc

They say the same stuff over and over again. Are they reading from a script, or are they all bland and devoid of personality? Where are the characters?
More quirkiness and less faux hugging wouldn’t go astray.

Carole Morrissey

Tamara says I really really really want to be in the top 2. I think I really really really hope you’re not in the top 2. I thought she might be when they raved about her crab dish.
Callan does another bloody ice cream. That weird matcha seems to be the latest craze. Both eliminated contestants cooked with it last week on Studio 10.

Littlepetal

Matcha is not new. I have made Matcha Swiss roll with matcha cream cheese filling.
You can buy Matcha ice cream from the supermarket. There is also matcha tiramisu.
I guess because I drink matcha ceremonial tea twice a day, I am just use to the flavour. With good quality matcha, the taste is very subtle but with the cheaper grade, the taste can be very bitter with the same amount.

Jayblossom

LP converted me to matcha a couple of years ago and as she said the good quality stuff is very nice.

Zhee

Wonder why the MC contestants aren’t all over tonka beans yet… 😛 Maybe next year…?

Matcha is very nice, I love using it in cakes. It has a wonderfully subtle taste (and yes, Invested in a quality product^^) and it balances out the sweetness of certain ingredients.

Jayblossom

I’m pretty sure they used them in something a few years ago and it was controversial because of they are toxic if they are not prepared properly. That may have steered them away – though I could have just made that up but I think I vaguely remember it.

Fijane

I made a matcha flavoured Gateau Opera for DD’s 21st three years ago. I got the recipe from the ‘net if anyone wants to try it. I loved it.

Jayblossom

Oooh YUM!

Smythe

Wish they had eliminated 2 contestants as well as sending 2 to immunity. Although I would like both Tamara & Eloise to go Tamara’s dish was acceptable so eliminate Eloise for the mackerel disaster and Callan for making another #$@##$ ice cream.
Hoping for Diana & Ben in the finals. There’s something about Sarah that is irritating and it’s not just the hair.

Stacey

My partner says she needs to start using Colgate Whitening… once he said it I couldn’t stop looking at her teeth. Plus the other night when she cooked for the pin she said “If ya wanna roll with the big dogs…” I just cringed.

brussellsprout

Yep. that only gets her my “Evict Immediately” vote.

Littlepetal

I noticed that too. Wonder whether she was a smoker before.
In my time, some Malaysians get very yellow teeth because of using tetracycline by pregnants mum or young kids.
Now there is more awareness and the availability of other antibiotics, you shouldnt have this problems

Stacey

Interesting LP. Could just be hereditary. Or the fact that she’s standing next to people whose teeth look like veneers ie Karlie and Ben.

Jayblossom

I’ve been wondering if she has ‘invisible’ braces on her teeth.

Littlepetal

I am not sure Karlie deserved to have a shot at the ammunity pin or it should be Diana.

Only difficult part with Karlie’s dish is the sesame sauce and that just need blending in the blender.

Diana’s broth is more difficult to create.

Littlepetal

She has mentioned before or I read it in some media news
