The Restaurant 2009

Same here, it saves an hour of my time each week week and is far more entertaining. I used my imagination (and also the Airbus cake segment which made it to Harry Hill this week) to work out exactly what happened. It's a shallange but one I am prepared to take on.
 
In the beginning Raymond created Series 3 of the Restaurant
And the series was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of David and Sarah. And the Spirit of Raymond moved upon the face of Series 3 of The Restaurant.
And Raymond said, Let there be Concept: and there was Concept.
And Raymond saw the Concept, that it was good: and Raymond divided the Concept from the Cooking.
And Raymond called the Concept "Critical", and the Cooking he called "Not important at all". But didn't tell us this in the first episode.
And Raymond said, Let there be challenges in the miRABt of Series 3, and let it divide the useless contestants from the less useless contestants.
And Raymond made the Challenges, and it did indeed divide the useless contestants from the less useless contestants; and it was so ignored.
And Raymond called the Challenges "completely incidental". And we'd guessed this by the second episode.
And Raymond said, Let the chefs in the kitchens of the restaurants be gathered together unto one place, and let the good food appear: and it was so in Rags to Riches and the The Front Room but nowhere else.
And Raymond called the kitchens "completely incidental", and the gathering together of the chefs wasn't as important as we thought it was: but Raymond saw that it was good.
And Raymond said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so and Chris saw that it was good and made delicious soup thereof, whilst others heedeth not the instructions etc etc
 
One has to wonder!

That or clearly out for an argument by wind up.

Best not feed anymore. (By feed I mean give a drink as I can't do food)
 
I just got around to watching the final, although I knew who'd won. I realise this has probably already been said but Raymondo has most definitely lost the plot. I guess the backlash was bigger than he thought it was going to be which is probably why he got his blog justification in just after the final and has now gone quiet on the twittersphere/blogosphere. Some things, despite your best efforts, you simply cannot justify :D

Also, David Moore is a complete and utter ****

*shakes head* WorRAB fail me at how they've collectively managed to ruin what was a great programme. After finally getting around to watching the final ep it made the winning choice even more bizarre.

If this is lucky enough to come back for a new series, revert it back to the previous format and replace RB who has just completely kiboshed his own credibility.
 
The difference between Jedward and James & JJ is that Jedward would never have won the X-Factor. They were kept in by the public enjoying the fuss made about it all. There is NO way they would have won.

James & JJ, if the show had been down to the public voting, would have probably lasted only a few weeks.
 
Actually, no it doesn't.

I agree that this series is a mess, though I'm really enjoying it, but not for the cheffing skills.

Since Series 2 it's moved days and is up against C4s Thursday cook spot. It's lost a million viewers this year, they just switched over to River Cottage. The final's up against a brand new Jamie Oliver Xmas series, starting Monday for a week, so next week it's going to get creamed too.
 
and that is the whole point........the winners can't cook!!
and I mean cannot cook! Not even a basic risotto or bake a cake, or make a souffle, or even use fresh veg!!!!!
