The final is tonight. Anyone watching this? Taking bets? It has to be Simon surely?

[Cassis]

I'm afraid we stopped watching it about 3 series ago - I'm totally out of touch. Still watching "Bake Off" and I am now addicted to "Pointless", though.

As an interesting change from the experience of food tasting on TV (I have a rather out of date set that only produces pictures and sound), I'm planning an evening enjoying juggling on the radio.

Okay, I'll admit that I used to watch it, but it just got boringly repetitive; it really needs something different, maybe a new presenter - Clarkson?

Top Scoff?

With a regular contributor setting the fastest time for eating the latest offering?

Some say......

All we know is, he's called The Pig:

Simon gets my vote too. I loved the episode in Sweden the other night. Oh, and I don't often listen to Dead Ringers but I heard it tonight and the take off of Greg was delicious

Yes I'm a Masterchef addict too and if Simon keeps up his standards he'll win! I do like Emma's food though.

Haven't you got your crayons back yet than GB? Waiting.....

I'm semi-ashamed to admit that my ring tone to this day remains 'Masterchef Synthesia (Buttery Biscuit Base)'. My colleagues (and occasionally clients when I forget to mute the damn thing) are appalled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfeyUGZt8nk

Simon was a very worthy winner. I've commented on a FB thread that I thought Simon and Tony's final dishes were tasting menu quality for presentation. Emma's might have tasted fantastic but it is the type of thing you can get at our high street Lebanese restaurant.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tony ends up with a presenters role as he was so cool and quirky.

[Casscat]

I think a culinary star is born - Simon just made everything seem so effortless. All the chefs he worked with in the professional kitchens were incredibly impressed with him. Tony is obviously a planner and needs to work harder at things than Simon, but I agree that he would make a good presenter as he has a unique style and likeability.

I rooted for Simon the whole way. He sounded like he'd stuck in at something he didn't really want to do to provide for his family and this was his chance of a dream come true for his ideal career.
I hope some of the chef's who jokingly offered him a job come through!
