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.

I think the judges should've been served the dishes by a waiter so they did not know which contestant had cooked which. Would've made for much fairer scoring.

Glad Julie won though :thumbsup:

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...

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... :eek:

Massive stress and head over several burners plus hot oven? I'd sweat too and I am 57kg :D I should also imagine their heart rates were going through the roof every time someone told them how much time they had left.
