    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.

    Still to catch up - it's on my "to do" after I've caught up with last week's Masterchef which got delayed as I was catching up on "Hidden" before it disappeared. I'll get there:rotfl::rotfl:

    I am back from the wilderness (otherwise known as a ban!). Each week I will update the initial post and cross out the team that has been sent home so don't look at the thread/initial post if you haven't watched the show yet unless you don't mind knowing who has gone.
    Commiserations to the losing team this week.
    I really enjoyed the show despite my stress at being banned! I didn't realise how much I used/read the forums until I couldn't.
    Sorry to the people that asked to be added after 7 p.m. on Tuesday , but there has to be a cut off time.

    I was pleased to see C4 haven't succumb to product placement advertising yet. I am half expecting that to be introduced at some point, its probably too early its only their second series.

    I predict my guy (Antony) will get about half way.

    Just settling down to watch Bake Off on catch-up after a night out. Why the 15 rating? :think:

    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
