Oh and interesting to note that Marco seemed to only ever shout and go crazy at the male contestants tonight, while we had numerous shots of him laughing, joking or talking calmly to the females.
I notice the same thing with Gary. Always especially nasty to the males. And over the top cute with the females.
Really enjoyed tonightâs ep, maybe more so because it was freezing in Melbourne & I was hungry.
Anyway none the less, probably the best team challenge Iâve seen in a long time 
All credit to the red team, deserved.
I agree with Matt & Georgeâs ultimate decision, those prawns (actually the first dish presented) looked like an amazing entree.
Looked like prawns that had been chucked on a grill to me.
Did they enjoy the premium seafood that they like to eat? Or did they enjoy the special technique that had been applied to them?
So often viewers, and the judges, confuse the two.
I agree the prawns looked yummy to me even though I donât eat any seafood apart from fish
LOVED the episode!! Marco screaming âWhereâs my king fish!!!â was hilarious.
I think it was more the case that it was pretty even. 1 winning dish from each team and and the dessertâs were a tie. So it came down to them each picking their favourite dish of the day and which ever team had more votes for best dish won. They need to split it somehow when itâs close. No matter how they do it people are going to whinge either way when itâs close.
Turdall suggests in the Gogglebox thread that MasterClasses should be shown at 6.30pm Sundays instead of after Thursdayâs elimination, so viewers wonât have to wait for Gogglebox. But paired with the regular mystery box and invention test episode, MasterChef will run for more than 2.5 hours on Sundays including ads, which may be too long for even dedicated fans. How about this idea: show MasterClass from 6.30pm to 7pm, then mystery box and invention test from 7pm to 8.30pm?
If MasterClass were to return to Fridays however, it will take the 8.30pm timeslot pushing back The Graham Norton Show to 9.30pm, which will make fans of that program unhappy either. Ten has to think very carefully when to schedule MasterClass next year.
At the end of tonightâs elimination, George told contestants the MasterClass was coming up âright nowâ then sent them on their way. It was odd, because I was sure the MasterClass (which took place at the magnificent Werribee Park) was not recorded on the same day as elimination.
Really? Thatâs my whole point. It seemed very clear one was more a complete, technical dish. You knowâŠbeing MasterChef and all.
As for tonightâs epâŠridiculous.
Firstly, the 4th guy to enter the final cook-off shouldnât have been there. EACH person left after the first round of alphabet ingredients were exhausted should have been forced to pick something. Thatâs generally how a fair competition is conducted.
And with some ridiculously hard ingredients in the first round, and some very easy ones, itâ just became a case of random luck. No skill required.
As for Adam going home over CeciliaâŠoutrageous. In an hour she produced a piece of seared tuna in the last two minutes. With an eggy mayonaise. How disgusting would that have tasted?
I could tell Adam was going as soon as they all attacked his dish, and Matt was forced to step in and say he was judging Adam only based on what was in front of him (ie, no bullshit about Cecilia crying after Marco went over to encourage her in the last 5 minutes of the show to plate something because they would definitely keep her no matter what for her tears, and no hang-up hatred of Adam over being one of the final guys to scrape into the final 24).
For the perceptive among us, Matt is definitely pushing the others a little this season. It wasnât his only sharp comment tonight either.
2 and a half hours is a long time but it was still 2 and a bit hours on Thursday night.
I think Fridays 8:30 could work as well. It would provide some much needed viewers to their Friday night schedule. Perhaps they could move graham Norton to saturdays
The last time that they did Masterclass on their own night they rated really badly. People donât seem to tune in to just a Masterclass anymore but if they run off the back of a normal episode they do well as the viewers are already there. Given there are only about 4 Masterclasses this season it makes sense to run it off the Thursday episode. Sunday 6.30 or Friday night on the odd week would disrupt schedules even more and the episode probably wouldnât do well there anyway.
I liked the location of where they had the Masterclass,can anyone on here who is in Melbourne tell me exactly where it is please?
Werribee Park in the cityâs outer west, right outside the famous mansion.
Thanks for that
What a chance Zoe missed to get an immunity pin. She caught a guest chef getting only 25/40 but she messed up her dish.
Cecelia should have gone home. She hardly did anything and had a bad mistake as well. But she is good for the show and Adam is a nobody.
For the second year running the male contestants are dropping like flies, The first three gone were all males and there are only 8 left, while all 13 females remain. Not that I mind.
They are dropping because of the all male judging panel 
I and I know many others love MasterClass, worked last year didnât it?
Itâs just that Gogglebox has a big loyal following (including me) & nobody wants to wait until 9:30pmâŠ
I say just leave the scheduling where it is & heavily promote the shows, especially Gogglebox.
MasterClass only airs a handful of times anyway.
Get Anastacia & Faye (from Gogglebox) on The Project on a Thursday or somethingâŠ
Iâm not a fan of the Masterclass episodes pushing gogglebox back. But lets be honest it isnât really going to affect ten or gogglebox that much. I can guarantee it will get massive timeshifting figures this week. And ten wouldnât care too much because it will be racking in a profit no matter where it is airing.
Well done to Karmen & Anastacia
Really shone
MasterChef - Sunday 22 May
Nigella Week
Itâs Nigella Lawson Week! Contestants have 75 minutes to create a delicious dish based on Nigellaâs divine indulgences. The top 3 will have a chance at immunity while the bottom 3 face elimination.
Thatâs what happens when people like Adam go home over Cecilia. Even though it is glaringly obvious she should have been eliminated instead.
I commented last week on how Marco and Gary in particular seem to treat the male and female contestants differently. Therefore, Iâm not surprised that the contestant pool quickly becomes female skewed.
