MKR Thurs – Man Eaters cook

Quick, vote in the poll before the episode starts!

Thanks to the blurb, I finally know both the Man Eaters’ names.
The blurb: It’s the final Instant Restaurant of Group 2, which means it’s time to shine for Sonya and Hadil. The ambitious friends are leaving nothing to chance, but will their confidence be their downfall?

At least poor Henry should get a break from Hadil’s attention.

I’ll watch this ep. And will also put on my bitchy, super-critical hat, and hope they fail spectacularly at their IR. I give them a 1.

Windsong

Yeah, I’m kinda rootin’ for the Russians tonight. Go to town, girls. Have a frickin’ party.

Windsong

The promos seem to indicate that the Man Eaters suffer for their over-confidence and do poorly … but 7’s pulled this crap on us before. It’s all a bait-and-switch. So on a hunch, I would safely guess that the girls don’t do great, but they don’t fail utterly (despite what the editors would have us believe), so the elimination next week will still be the Defense Force couple versus Pat and Louisa.

I knew as soon as they cut to commercial in the middle of Pete’s Entree critique that comments would be positive. Not only have Ch7 done this before they’ve done it this season in the first round of IRs. I can’t remember which team because I’ve tried to block it all out.

Windsong

And also because they’ve done it this season to least four or five other teams. On the other hand, I’m just glad we have teams who can actually cook.

PS: $13-14 EACH

I hate that the contestants are having to cook dressed up. Could be dangerous for women in high heels.

In other news, Ben from MasterChef (the one with the bulging muscles and unmoving hair) has opened his own ice cream parlour in Ipswich. I do recall the judges praising him every time he made it. I’d give the salted caramel, bacon and pecan a crack.

Watch out for Aly. I dont think she will eat the entree. Raw, she is pregnant

Rox

I missed posting this comment pre 3 above i.e. $13-14 each: Sheesh(kebab)! 30 lamb backstraps. My fave cut, but exy in this neck of the woods. Indeed, matches the “rich” tones of the Jordanian desert.

Jayblossom

So glad you cleared that up Rox. I was very confused by the random $13 -14 comment.

“All about the organisation” , eh? “We’re so professional” etc.

I smell a failafel in the wings.

Rox

When the guests arrived I was also prepping dinner, but I heard someone say “Jordanian stuffed rabbit”. That’s a gem. No knife set for entree or dessert, requiring finger pushing.

Windsong

That would’ve been Olga. And I think I would’ve cheered her, to be honest.

Rox

Good on the Jabbits. Deserved after all.

However , I don’t see a future for these girls doing promos for Weight Watchers.

Biggest main in MKR history.

If only the first group had culinary superstars like this lot.

Windsong

Holy spit, the size of the main course! They’re gonna kill those people. And as annoying as the rabbits have been, responding to the single-cabbage-loaf controversy by basically serving Olga an entire cow? I laughed, that was hilarious. Anyway.

Littlepetal

Has the MKR Facebook crashed??

Windsong

No, I can’t find it either. That’s interesting. Maybe there was too much trolling from friends of the Man Eaters and they pulled the plug on it tonight?

Smythe

That was impressive. At least their confidence wasn’t BS and they definitely could cook.
Could not believe the amount of food in the main. Of course, Matt cleaned his plate.
Great that this group had some very impressive cooks. Not looking forward to the return of R & R.

Windsong

Putting the plastic sisters, R and R, the Man Eaters and the Russians all in the same room is only going to end in chalk outlines and yellow ‘crime scene’ tape.

I’d still bet money on the Russians surviving. They’d fight dirty.

Littlepetal

And Manu didnt ask for the sozz for the mains

brain dead dave

The main was so big it should have been “drizzled” with laxatives.

Von

Well, I’m torn. I’m glad that another team can cook, but disappointed that it is the annoying rabbit and her mate. Seeing people eat raw meat makes me gag, so I couldn’t watch much of the entree. The main course looked good, but what a lot of meat there was.

What happens now, wasn’t that the last instant restaurant? Is there another round of new people (please say no, please say no)?

Why is Anna portrayed as a total bumpkin who is one degree short of dim? The ruffly dresses are bad enough, but she is making some dopey comments lately. She didn’t seem to be like that before.

Littlepetal

Hopefully no 3rd group. But I think there will be another round of Instant Rest for the top 6 or 8 teams

brain dead dave

Fancy someone saying “This is bull$hit” on MKR. ” Oi ken hear ya” says Colin.

The show should be called TIB

The contestants are beginning to hiss back at the judges as if this is a singing show.

Windsong

Well, we know it’s not a cooking show, after all.
