Masterchef - Ever seen a grown man cry/Battle of the ponytails
UK
Onto the semi finals and it was Ben 'Meths dreamboat' Moody Frenchman versus Claire 'the unit'. They both had to work in the Kitchin, Tom Kitchin's place in Scotland, that won the Observer restaurant of the year thing the other week. The food looked really good. Ben had to cook a million scallops and a zillion bits of asparagus whilst Claire had to cook hogget. Ben done ok, messed up a few times and then cried like an absolute whelk outside, Tom had to try and console him. Claire done very well indeed, squeezing hogget like Theo squeezes his gummy 'mutt in the morning.
They then had to cook a trio of marrow, (Steve, to, Mia) for Tom. He liked them both but was mainly concerned about the seasoning.
They then headed back to the studio to cook two dishes, Ben done some Thai fish thing and some other thing I can't remember. Claire done two things I can't remember. Claire won and was into the final, Ben is oot.
Next up was overbite girl and geordie fella. They both went to the Dining Room in Warston Manor. Overbite was on the beef (ooh hello) and done pretty damn well, she was loving it. Geordie had to wait ages for a pigeon order but when it came he done ok despite failing a thousand times to do 3 lines of sauce on a plate. Their next challenge is presumably in the next programme.

Aaron and Adam were in a cook-off where they had to cook 3 dishes for 3 celeb chefs at the same time. They were lemon tart, deep fried tofu and mushrooms and chateau briand, chips and bernaise. Adam done brilliantly and won all 3 votes so he now has immunity.
