But....but...but...Sam made a good dish in the first week of the show.

He is useless and should have gone much earlier (Trevor, Poh and Tom were all better cooks), but he copped the short straw getting the tofu which I think he did okay with.
I would have hated to get tofu in that challenge, not saying he would have won that challenge or anything... Not really saying anything, except that tofu sucks.

 

[SunKing]

i would of prefered Andres champagne/strawberry risotto.

No offense to Andre who I think is a good cook but that must be one of the worst dishes served up thus far.

He was being sarcastic.

 

[SunKing]

He was being sarcastic.

I realise that was just agreeing on how bad it was.

Actually though it wasn't as bad as that chocolate/pork combo that someone made earlier.

 

[The Boy From Brasil]

The worst one would be Trev's decision to put the bait into the dish. That dish wouldn't have been a real winner.

 

[The Boy From Brasil]

Gee that was a shock. I didn't expect Justine to be eliminated. It was sad to see her go, but it would have been sad to see Julie go also. Great on Jules, I hope she can make it to the final week.

Still can't believe that Sam is still there. Surely his time will be up next elimination? His luck has to run out sooner or later.

 

[Kahuna]

Wow that was a shock, but I am kind of glad it happened. If they kicked Julie off after the praise they gave her it would really show that the programm is rigged. Looked like a tasty dish, Justine can come cook for me anytime.

 

[lifelike_]

Julie's making a habit of saving herself in the pressure test.

Didn't expect the final four to include Sam and Julie. Chris would have been happy to see Justine go.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Disappointing.

Chris has it in the bag now. Unless Julia or Lucas have honed their skills dramitically.

 

[SunKing]

Down to Chris and Julia you would think but then most thought Justine was a sure thing.

All your previous good work can be undone by one ordinary dish.

 

[pjcrows]

Lucas vs Chris for the win.

 

[HBF]

Julia vs Chris now - both are the best cooks remaining in the show.
I was really amazed that Justine didn't survive that elimination challenge, given her cooking over the entire series, and that she has barely put a foot wrong.

Like Kahuna said, she can come and cook for me anytime she likes.

what about Julies luck? 4th time in a pressure test.

 

[Kahuna]

what about Julies luck? 4th time in a pressure test.

She is a recipe cook, at home cooking for her family she doesn't want to stuff it up so he just uses recipes. Not used to making up dishes and that is why she is bad at the Invention test but comes into her own during the Pressure test. Well that's how I see it at least.

i just brought that up because people say Sam is lucky for being in 2 pressure tests and he shouldn't be in the comp because of that, Julie has been in 4 yet nothing has been mentioned about her being lucky.

 

[Invigoration]

A sad day for men everywhere, let us come together and mourn this tragic loss

 

[HBK619]

WHY GOD, WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Vale Justine.

 

[Exhale You]

Justine was just on 3AW and was delightful, as always.

She said that what we're seeing on our screens is about two weeks behind the filming schedule (i actually thought it might have been longer).

Also, they asked her who, of the six remaining on our screens now, she wants to win.
She said she hopes either Julia or Julie win.

Justine can come cook for me anytime.

The queue starts behind me, buddy.

Chris would have been happy to see Justine go.

I was thinking that last night, actually.

It was obvious that Justine was his major competition, and unlike Chris, she has a lot going for her in terms of her looks and age, so i imagine that as soon as he was alone, he did a cartwheel or two.

I was really amazed that Justine didn't survive that elimination challenge, given her cooking over the entire series, and that she has barely put a foot wrong.

It's harsh, isn't it.

It's hard to justify her being gone whilst Sam and Andre are still there given she was very clearly better than them.

what about Julies luck? 4th time in a pressure test.

Why is it that whenever someone criticises Sam, who himself admits he's extremely lucky to have gotten this far and lacks the knowledge of others, you get all defensive and try to turn the focus onto someone else?

Sam has been very lucky to survive and he has had many, many chances, they're the facts.

Sure, others have also been lucky and have had chances too, but that shouldn't preclude Sam from being criticised, nor should it mean that anytime anyone mentions Sam's good fortune they must also mention everyone else who has had some fortune.

Its not really hard to justify given that the show is based around winning challenges, lose one and you're out. If I had a choice I'd rather her than Sam or Andre but that fact is she performed worse than Julie in the challenge and therefore is gone. The process was fair.

 

[likka]

Sam has performed pathetically in many group challenges, just happens his team mates pulled him through with them.

Sam performed far worse than Justine in the Hong Kong challenge, he was lucky Andre pulled saved his bacon.

Justine struggled big time cooking Asian food though, definitely not as versatile as both Justine or Chris.

 

[The Boy From Brasil]

His luckiest moments amongst a fair few

1)No one being eliminated in one the elimination challenges that he performed poorly in because "they were too close to call".

and

2)Not being eliminated when he served up the olive pip that Matt bit into.

 

[Exhale You]

Unless your name is Sam.

If I had a choice I'd rather her than Sam or Andre but that fact is she performed worse than Julie in the challenge and therefore is gone.

I know what happened, but it doesn't make it any less harsh, does it?

The process was fair.

I didn't suggest it was untoward, did i?

 

[HBK619]

2)Not being eliminated when he served up the olive pip that Matt bit into.

To be fair, EVERYONE has had that chance. Chris - Severely undercooked chicken. Andre - Bones in fish, TWICE. Julie - Half a Croquembouche(Granted she still won because of taste), had other things, can't remember what.

Basically though, everyone has had more than one chance several times over. Nobody has been favoured more than the other.

I do agree maybe Sam has slipped through the cracks more than he should've but he might show something special in these last weeks.

 

[toxic]

As the tears dry and i wonder what to do at 7pm everynight i close my eyes and see Justine cooking.
I think a minutes silence from the judges will be held during the master class (especially from Gary)
Bye Justine and thankyou!

cause im sick of very 5th post being someone whinging about Sam being so lucky when other contestants have had luck as well.

if Chris was on the blue team when he cooked that raw chicken he would of been already out.

Sam has been pathetic but not as pathetic as Julie being in 4 pressure tests, no one mentions it though.

i dont even like Sam or think his top 4 material but his still there and he won't win anyway so get over it.
