What happened? What is the deal with the missing kid? I could not last until the end but I still want to know about the mystery. Thank you in advance!

Jack/Sam has always been the face of Law and Order for me. He’s always been so real to me, I feel like I’ve been along for the ride of his entire career. Law and Order did an amazing job of bringing their main characters to life, whilst simultaneously revealing fairly little about them. I also loved Ben whom I discovered after Jack. As a devoted Jack fan, it was odd to find myself developing a huge crush on Ben! So strange!

Spoil me please gang! I won’t get to watch this until a few days from now! I love spoilers!!!

Amanda posted on Facebook about ToC. I guess I’m assuming that she wins?

This format makes no sense!!!! Has no one pointed this out to the network! It is the most stupid thing ever and is so aggravating in its stupidity and lack of fairness!!!! Grrrrr On the other hand I like Malarky as a judge. I think he’s lovely and constructive!

Up until now I have disliked him less than the majority of people on this board but he was AWFUL in the two qualifying episodes! He mis pronounced terms, sounded like he had zero interest in being there and simply did not even try which I find extremely offensive. I'm with you! Pay him! Pay him as much as they want to, go nuts with the nepotism, but do not put him on our screens and inflict him on us!

She meets some random girl at a party and puts her in charge of her runner toddler in a busy market? People probably do dumb stuff like this all the time but I’m shaking my head at the stupidity! What if the nanny girl was in a child kidnapping ring and befriended her to get access to her kids???? And she lets the other nanny give him a lolly in the morning? I know she expressed horror at it but she should have known about it and laid down rules for it to never happen! Haha sounds like I’m complaining a lot but I love love love the show! Was skeptical about episode one but now I’m hooked! Love Nicole’s yellow dress with the flowers! I wants!!!!!

Great episode!!!! Both the law and order sides lived up to their potential today. I appreciated the development and excitement of various aspects during the episode. Considering the delicate nature of the topic I thought they handled it well without preaching. More just a sad lament which is a fair reflection of the state of the world imo.

Oh he totally did!!! I loved it when he’d stop by for a flirty banter with Dan!

I agree with this and this is where I have to give credit to Noel and Alison. They may have their favourites but they make an effort to be genuinely warm and bond with all the contestants. They’re also very supportive to anyone who needs support. I really respect them for that.

Most satisfying season ever!!! 😊

Another chestnut lover here! My favourite cake in the world is a chestnut cream cake! I boil my chestnuts when they’re in season! I prefer them boiled to roasted, I find them more tender that way.

Oh that was heartbreaking!!! Love Tasha! She’s so talented and has done so well. She and Matty are my favourites! Count me in as another Dan fan! I think he’s just very jubilant and very happy to be there! He seems to be always wildly enthusiastic about everything, encouraging the others. Don’t detect a single mean vibe from him. Noel can be pesky but he’s very good with the contestants when it counts. I loved the way he quickly mentioned to Tasha that the oven might work some magic when she was spiralling. Or when Matty showed self doubt about being in the semis, Noel said he only needs to beat one person and then suggested tampering with the other contestants ovens to lighten the mood. Matty even if you have a catastrophe next week I still adore you!!! You’re one of the most fun and endearing contestants ever!

Nooooo they should have eliminated Jess!!! I like her but she made a tart whereas Rhiann made a whole pig plus elements, imperfect as it was! You can’t ignore the challenge parameters!!!

Really loving this show which is weird for me because overly desserty contestants tend to irritate me on Masterchef! I know someone who works for Andy Bowdy and he’s lovely in real life. He’s one of my favourites along with Anna. I was neutral towards Anna on MasterChef but I absolutely love her here! She’s so sweet and animated! The new judge is awkward! I’m not sure whether it’s intentional half the time or whether they are having an awkward moment. I feel stressed for Mel having to move things along.

Matty!!!! Woooohooo!!!!! So thrilled for him! He’s so darn cheerful and likeable! I did not think he would make it this far (neither did he by the looks of it) so it’s absolutely lovely that he’s up there in the top 4! I love how he just chugs along in good humour, no matter what. He’s been one of my favourites this season. Tasha’s caterpillar with Noel’s face is probably my favourite moment of the entire series. It looked exactly like him!!! It was so random and bizarre and utterly hilarious! Poor Cristy. I like her too but she stresses me out. She always seems to be teetering on the edge of being distressed. I feel like Josh is always on the edge of winning star baker and then someone else does a slightly better overall job and he loses to them. He hasn’t won as much for someone who seems to be in contention much of the time. Loved his Christmas gear! My family are like that, we’re all running around in Christmas pyjamas now!

Happy that I’m not the only person who is sick of all the gore cakes! I only listen to this show now when I exercise and don’t watch the visuals because there’s nothing nice to watch!!! I like the judges, host and contestants but the bakes just don’t appeal! I’m all for the cute and colourful things in the other seasons. I wish they made cute pumpkin lanterns, witches, cartoony spiders or Frankenstein etc

Omg the trashy brother is back! It was so good the last two weeks! I was hoping they’d just kill off Bradley’s trashy family but I guess that was too optimistic.

I adored that opening!!! I’ve watched it 3 times! It’s the type of humour that appeals to me, I was squealing with glee at some of the lines! Beaver cake was my favourite. It was so so so adorable! Many of the animal cakes were awesome. Really like this bunch! I’ve found the recent years contestants a bit lacklustre (especially when compared to the Australian, Canadian and American versions) but this batch look like that can bake.

Why was Stella in a tracksuit at a business lunch. That was such a weird outfit. Cory’s opening scene is the absolute best. Got to love his spirit! Mia speaking Russian was all kinds of awesome.

Love this season!!! I’m finding everything riveting and extra kudos for no weird storyline about Bradley’s family. Chris gave an amazing interviewing and I thought the acting was excellent from Nicole Beharie. I felt her emotions throughout the entire episode. Wanting to lose her sh@t but needing to keep her composure because she felt losing it was not an option for her. I don’t mind that Chris is a new character. They have to start somewhere and Nicole’s acting is phenomenal so it’s worth giving her a storyline.

I’m still enjoying this season other than the one Jose Garces episode with that dodgy judge. Loooooove Adrienne judging!!!!!! She was a quiet one on top chef but I’ve enjoyed her judging immensely. She’s also pretty natural on camera which is interesting since she was never loud on top chef. She has this ease about her that I like. Interesting enough but mellow at the same time. Loooooove Brooke! I’m the oddball that finds Brooke endearing. She’s got this very serious, semi stressed vibe to go along with her insane talent so I feel like I know where she’s coming from. I missed her terribly in ToC!!!! They cannot replace her!!!!

Marcus also has a new show about a small farm that he's running. I wonder if at this point it's just easier and more lucrative to take on TV commitments rather than battle it out in the restaurant industry.

Omg I love love loveeeeeee Esther. She is another person who I think is very gifted when it comes to cooking. I love her on those YouTube homecook swaps with Chef videos. Wish she’d make more of them. On a superficial note, she’s absolutely gorgeous as well.

Wonderful show! I like all three Titans and Bobby so this is one of my favorites! I really want to try Michael V's pistachios cassoulet. I hate beans but love pistachios so that was such a cool concept. I thought it was so cute when Micheal V told Michael that beating him was a bucket list thing. I love how passionate the Titans are really enjoy their talking heads. You can just see how competitive they are and how much they analyze the dishes. Such a treat to watch them.
