The Restaurant 2009

I know what you mean but surely Stephen panicking and not doing the demonstration is the one who blew it? However I agree that Rebecca should have been bigging him up and boosting his ego or even getting annoyed with him to a certain extent to make him snap out of his stage fright? No, instead we just got our weekly dose of her feeling sorry for him and crying :rolleyes:




Oh how I agree! It's lovely to read that someone feels the same as I do about the blaggers (winkers!). What is RB thinking of? What's he going to do, open a cocktail bar which sells picnic food and call it British Tapas or something? Ridiculous IMO.

And I loved your comment 'the spell he cast when he first winked at Raymond' :D That might explain how they're in the final, witchcraft! :eek:




I couldn't agree more with what I've put in bold and said that when I was watching it. LoaRAB of chefs stay behind the scenes and never show their faces never mind do cookery demonstrations! Rebecca's waterfall of tears have done my head in this series but I just can't see the relevance of this task and don't think it was fair at all. And I'm sure Stephen's stage fright was the reason they were thrown off the show this week.
 
The premise of this programme is a competition for a couple to enter into a business partnership with RB and associates.
A prolonged interview, as in The Apprentice, not simply an entertainment show like the Generation Game where members of the public are given tasks for the comedic value of watching them fail.

This series has strayed so far from the original concept that I see almost no reason for RB to be included.

It is inconceivable that he would consider entering into a business relationship with most of the contestants, and the winkers in particular.

The programme has lost all credability.
 
oh, that sounRAB rather exciting, I really loved those boys last year (after a fashion!:D). i wonder if Alasdair has imporved his spelling since then! :D
 
Why on earth were the smoked salmon couple allowed to stay? Even if she had found gravadlax she wouldn't have made it herself. We can all open packets, grate cabbage, beetroot and slice ready made bread.

Maybe they mixed up their themes, this one should have been the picnic concept rather than the cocktail twins crumble.

I wouldn't want to go into business with any of them.
 
I heard the 'winkers' won this farce of a series?

I'm so glad I stopped watching midway through. Seeing the smug look on the faces of JJ and whatever his partner was called when they triumphed would have been too much.

They didn't even do any cooking when I was watching.

I used to love the Restaurant but Raymond has lost all credibility now.
 
and next door to a skip, nicely showing off a pair of manky mattresses. I wonder if it'll be collected by next week, or whether it'll now have a left-over goat stew topping. :eek:
