choffer Posted September 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2019 I got a round in last week at some place near Twickenham green. 5 Pints, £47.50. It was lovely stuff but we moved on after that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he stands out in the crowd as someone legitimately famous, if Z list. The others in the heat were a Strictly dancer, a Paralympian, a fashion designer, none of which I'd heard of or ever seen before, and Joey Essex, who I have heard of and recognised the face but wouldn't have known to put the two together. You can hear the barrel being scraped over the sizzling of the pans. Second heat of 'celebrity' MasterChef. The posh drunk from Googlebox, Josie Long, a reality TV doctor who I've never ever seen or heard of before, a 'professional quizzer' who I've never seen or heard of, and an 'actor, radio presenter and poet' bloke who, again, I've never seen before or heard of. Josie Long and Googlebox fella are legitimately famous I guess, if both properly ZZZ list, but the rest... Crikey. I assume MasterChef doesn't pay well if this is the best they can dig up. More famous faces are prepared to eat insects and kangaroo cock on TV than cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2019 The above has made me look at all the contestants to see who I recognised. By face, I could name 6 out of 20 (why do they need 20?). I obviously have heard of judge jules, but I wouldn’t have guessed that was him from his picture. Similarly I recognise the bloke from gogglebox, but couldn’t name him. For those interested, the 6 were Adam Woodyatt, Vicky Pattison, Joey Essex, Greg Rutherford, Neil Ruddock and Jenny Ryan. As with every year and every versioning this show, I won’t be watching. It peaked with Vic & Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it always seems to attract a price premium but that strikes me as steep. Luckily the locally produced Wye Valley ales were more reasonable at £3.50.

I have heard of Woodyatt, Pattison, Essex, Rutherford, Whyte, Maloney, Rhodes, Ruddock & Jules I actually recognised by sight only Woodyatt and Ruddock. Essex and Pattison look like any other stereotypical orange faced vacuous reality tv 'stars', Rutherford and Whyte, I don't follow their sports closely enough, Frank Maloney appears to be dressed as a woman and Judge Jules I wouldn't recognise from one famous DJ to another. As Saxondale said, if I want to listen to electric beeps and whistles, I'll put my foot through the windscreen and listen to the car alarm!
