Twee as gently caress posted:Am I the only one who feels sympathetic toward Leslie and feels like he's getting a poo poo edit, but getting really loving annoyed with Cutter? I think they're trying to give Leslie a villain edit but he comes across more as an annoying doofus. I wouldn't want be friends with him, but he doesn't actually come across as a bad guy. Passive aggressive, maybe, but not worth any strong feelings. I don't care about Cutter, but I really felt like he was on the receiving end of a completely manufactured confrontation this episode. The way the "conversation" flowed made me think that it was a lot more heavily edited than normal. And it made Joe and the rest of the judges seem more like the colossal assholes in the confrontation than Cutter. Twee as gently caress posted:I mean he's nowhere NEAR as bad as that racist obese beasts from philly (krissy, wasn't it?) last year and he seems much better at cooking than she ever was, too. "Krissi is up for elimination again. Better break out another Italian themed pressure test so she can look passable." I would have felt that Krissi was just getting a really bad edit last season if it wasn't for people finding her stuff from outside of Masterchef.

Cutter made himself look like a moron(regardless of any edit) last night because he argued and tried to say the cake wasn't too sweet. Then Joe kind of lobbed him a softball by saying "Well if you think Gordon's palette is poo poo...". I'm certain that was meant as kind of a half-joke, and Cutter was supposed to laugh it off and explain how that isn't what he meant at all, etc. Instead he got all pissed off at Joe and made a whole thing out of it. All of this was pretty straightforward, I'm not sure where the editing would have come in. But really it all starts when you argue and disagree with the judges. Its never gone well for any contestant in any reality show ever. Basebf555 fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jul 15, 2014 |

I don't think that Joe was really putting any words in his mouth, Cutter had spent like two minutes arguing with Graham and saying that basically Ramsay (and he) were wrong and the cake was not too sweet, so I think 'You think that Gordon has a poo poo palate?' is a fair enough question Basebf555 posted:But really it all starts when you argue and disagree with the judges.

When Gordon fuckin Ramsay tells you your cake is too sweet, you say 'I'm sorry' and you shut the gently caress up, you don't try to argue that it's actually not too sweet at all. Only caveat is if he tells you it's too spicy, then you know it's just mild enough

I love it when that sort of thing crops up on these kinds of shows. Contestant: "I think the cake tasted fine, and that we just have differing opinions." Judge: "Unfortunately for you, my opinion is the one that matters."

And that was with the strange, abrupt editing of that sequence. From my perspective it was: "This is too sweet." "Well, what exactly is too sweet so I don't do it again?" "Oh, you think you know better than me?" "No, I was-" "How dare you interrupt him!" Cut away to other contestant: "He was completely disrespectful." bobby2times posted:Everyone should watch Masterchef Australia.

It's similarly manufactured, but it's manufactured in a way that's pretty much all positive which at least gives the show a happier tone. I've watched a few other countries' Masterchef shows and Australia is the only one that I'd actually recommend to people; the other ones are much closer to the US in tone.

Watch it again. Graham tries several times to talk and Cutter speaks right over him half way through his sentence. He also does it with Joe, but him and Graham are talking at the same time multiple times when Graham started speaking first.

Also there's no way in hell you can watch that scene and think that Cutter was just innocently asking what exactly is too sweet so he can do it better next time. He had a nasty attitude and no amount of backpedaling or editing could cover that up.

Cutter got nasty, no argument there, but I understand why considering he's been on the chopping block several times now, rarely from his own doing, and almost every time has been some kind of baking challenge where they zero in on the fact that he sucks at baking. Plus you've got Leslie, arguably the reason the team lost, laughing his rear end off at the idea that he was to blame, and being told his cake was the best (which, true or not, has to be annoying.) If this were his first pressure test and he was throwing a tantrum about having to bake on a show called Masterchef, then sure. But this constant barrage of other contestants putting him in that position and having to do the one thing he isn't great at cooking, basically having to prove himself time and time again, has to be wearing on him. Not saying it's totally justified, just saying I understand. If you buy into the suggestion that Krissi kept getting Italian challenges to throw her softballs, you might also suggest that Cutter is currently in the role of the sacrificial lamb here, constantly getting singled out as the fall guy in a baking challenge (not that they don't do way too much dessert in the first place.) And like I said, it's hard not to kinda root for the guy when he's fighting back so hard, compared to contestants like Elise, who have done next to nothing to prove themselves.

I really wish we had seen the auditions now, because I want to see was Elise had made to get an apron. I mean, she was having trouble putting together a sandwich. And yet, for some reason, I still fell sympathetic towards her.

I'm not that fond of Cutter, and he's really a middle of the pack cook, but he's from Texas, and his cake looked like every other red velvet cake I've seen from Texan home bakers. Both my mother and grandmother frost the poo poo out of their cakes, and their justification is that the sweet is gonna be cut with the half gallon of coffee you're going to drink while eating it. I can't really give my opinion on it, though, since I don't particularly like cream cheese.

Lol yeah I forgot about Elise squashing all those clubs while cutting. Yo, you don't have to apply 500 PSI of downward force to hold a sandwich in place while cutting it in half, hope this helps. Jesus Christ how do you gently caress this up.

Working the line means knowing how to do a specific set of things for a long shift and do them consistently well, which Leslie poo poo the bed on hard. Eggs are easy as gently caress and dude couldn't put two fried egg plates in a row that looked a.) the same or b.) good, e.g. not drenched in olive oil which has no place in diner-style egg preparations. I still don't understand how any of these skills are required to write a cookbook?

Her little thing after her and Francis dodged one and she was like at least we were creative. And who really can't put a sandwich together?

The thing that's annoying me the most lately is how they emphasize " at least one competitor is going home" every challenge but still have scenarios where a bad dish "survives" because someone else happened to gently caress up a bit more. Cutter should have been dumped two weeks in a row now.

Courtney is a reasonably attractive woman with some positive and some negative features. If she wasn't on your T.V. screen she wouldn't stand out as particularly ugly or particularly hot, she'd walk right by you on the street without being noticed. What's happening with her is combination of the internet being terrible, and the way the producers are portraying her(constant close ups of her legs and shoes, etc.). She's far from the first reality show contestant to pose a certain way when standing on set in front of the cameras, that can't be the cause of all the hate.

Cutter had a bad attitude but the judges were so obnoxious in how prissily outraged they became that he would DARE talk back to them. Maybe it's just because it seems very obvious that Cutter was cracking under the significant pressure of the competition, all the baking challenges and the embarrassment of failure etc. and they were acting more like he seriously thought he knew better than them.
