Can we comment on how much she sweats into food? Now if she lost weight she wouldn't sweat as much and her food preparation would be far more hygenic.

Fat is relevant.

How much people sweat is not necessarily related to their size you know.

Totally agree, it's just a shame that, while she was off the sofa, she didn't do a few laps round the park . . .

The bigger/more over-weight/unfit the person the harder the body works because it needs to move a greater weight. The harder the body works, the more heat is produced and the more heat is produced, the more sweat is produced in order to cool the body down.

Ergo, how much a person sweats is directly relative to their size, weight and level of physical fitness.

And was Julies sweat dripping all over the place...

give her 2 months fulltime in a working kitchen and she will lose a lot of that

OMG that is so not true, I was huge at one stage with a BMI of 40 (I am not now just mearly overweight) I never sweat at all, went to doc about it cause it worried me (all fine),used to workout at the gym with my friend, she would be dripping I would be dry. my cholestrol was alway below 4, bp fine too. Totall poppycock and most of them sweated too, I bet if you went into any of the high speck hotels etc the chefs are sweating their asses off. Just cause you are overweight doesnt mean unfit. I was fitter then than I am now but 5 stone lighter.

Obviously some people's definition of fat is different to mine. It's also irrelevant. However, Chris being a grubby, greasy haired, revolting pillock with a stupid hat is totally relevant. I think she was the right person to win. Whilst it was MasterCHEF, it's not different than the UK one where the person who starts off pretty good and improves continually is more likely to win than the person who starts off knowing all and ends up not appearing to know much more than previous. They become the chef. If it was find a chef to begin with, it wouldn't go on so long.

I know people who are skinny as who sweat profusely and large people who don't. As long as off camera the sweat is removed with towel and not drop into food, I couldn't care less. It just shows what goes on in restaurant kitchens that we never see. They're hot places.

Never mind Julie & Chris.....who else noticed Poh's bizarre lack of ear lobes???

spartacus

Racialist!

joho

I liked Poh too but she took some risks that didnt pay off, 100 day eggs yuck. She was also botted out earlier in the series and came back so she had 2 chances. At the end of the day its over, is it going to affect our lives........no. so who cares anyway.

Perhaps you're right . . . I'm sure Dr Phil would tell me to "get over it" , but another side of me needs, you know, closure (as Oprah would say) . . .

joho

LOL you are welcome on my couch to talk it over if it will help.

Heartrate and work rate probably best indicators but I would hazrd a guess that a BMI of 40 on a fit person would be some freakish Olympic shotputter..prop forward..built for the sport...Once you get past a threshold of effort, determined fpr you, anyone will sweat...I can sprint for a bus, and then be hardly out of breath mins later - I can jog with a partner and not break sweat or elevate my rate appreciably over a long time...but go at 80pc+ for more than say a few mins and I will sweat quickly - my body thinks it is in for the long haul and effort at this sustained rate which is annoying if it's a short burst...have never solved that one...perhaps if I exercised less my body would not anticipate the level...

Think Julie's 9s were a fix.but she was still better on the day...they might have edited the dessert taste to make it seem closer.. it was also unfair she knew what Poh's Round 1 score was...she also got help with the sorbet...but I'd rather buy her book than Poh's..

Poh, Justine and Chris will probably go on to be more successfull...

moneypenny20

Julie's book will be out soon, get that and then go visit Pillock and have a cow's head with eyelashes and lips braised in some Old Peculiar - vomit. If that doesn't give closure, you need more help than Oprah or Dr Phil could give you.

Hebe

Rubbish - I sweat like a pig when I exercise and I am very fit (for a woman my age!!!!) competing in half marathons and triathlons and my BMI is fine at around 22
