My favourite chefs are the northern and central ones (Nigel & Glynn), as they seem not to have too high an opinion of themselves.
I want to punch Danny, the northern Irish chef, in the head.

I love Nigel. The others can all cock off (even if I'd rather eat some of their food). Healthy chef needs his ego pricking so badly.

Aww, I was so happy for Glynn coming first with his perfect pudding - his and healthy chef's looked absolutely gorgeous, though healthy chef looked totally peeved at coming second. Silly Jason for changing his arctic roll.
And annoyingly smug Danny from Northern Ireland didn't get in the top three all week - even better!
I haven't voted all week, so I'll now have to pick my perfect menu and compare with the winning dishes tomorrow.

I was so happy too, and the bundle and hugs were lovely.
WHY did he change the arctic roll? The tea thing looked weird.

Poor Chris, the UK public obviously think he's a tosser.
...and now we hate his pudding as well - that'll teach em.

Mum and I cheered manically at Chris's disapointment

Poor Nigel. Nothing for Chris though - good, his egotism is annoying.

Interesting, wasn't it, that the starter (which had Chris placed above Jason) was the only course where the public overturned the judges top choice.
I definitely agree with the fish and dessert choices, and was in two minds about the starter (the BLT or the pigeon). The only dish I wasn't a fan of was the main - too much meat for my taste. I would have preferred either of the other two for that course.
And wonderful schadenfreude, as Danny was the only chef not to get top three for any of his dishes, even with the help of the public.
I must say, even though we haven't seen her all series, I was expecting Jennie Bond to turn up for the final week. Maybe she'll appear for the banquet itself.

It clearly showed how we all saw him.
I didn't like the main very much, but I liked the chef.
Danny just seemed thrilled to be there.

I am glad that I decided to watch this today. Especially as my invitation to the banquet was lost in the post (along with Jennie's, presumably).
Thank goodness everyone liked the food. Alex James and Mary Portas were obviously big fans of the sparkling English wine. Brilliant.

> Poor Jennie. I was expecting her to pop up saying, "I am Jennie Bond, and this is MY banquet." I wonder if she even got a taste. > The most amusing moment was when Jennie mentioned that there would be "no less than FOUR 3-star chefs at the banquet" and then listed there were actually FOUR of them. No less. > After all the fuss about how the banquet was going to be full of gourmets and the culinary elite, it seemed rather celeb-heavy. > I hope John Torode and Gregg Wallace were there to talk about how it was their toughest challenge yet. > Couldn't they have got Dervla Kirwan to introduce each course in a breathy, seductive voice? > Piers Morgan can fuck off, quite frankly, for not understanding the BLT starter was all about the combination of flavours. Idiot. > Bless Glynn. I hope we see him on tv again soon. He's great.

This show was ruined for me by the appearance of Piers Morgan.

Given that this show has always used the word 'witty' far too often - I feel that I will have to watch this particular series with the sound off.
