Celebrity Masterchef EDT #8 - Page 6

So yesterday’s episode was okayish. Honestly none of the dishes really stood out for me.

1. Usha Tai - I’m just surprised she pulled it off. Though Gaurav had left a lot of things already done and was guiding her, but still. There was absolutely no tai in the dish. Also, noticed only Gaurav calls her aai (mother in marathi).

2. Gaurav - looked very comforting, but not something I’d ever order in a restaurant. But I can’t fault him for having dal on his plate. He did well with whatever he got and gave a variation of the dish. I think he did well under the circumstances.

3. Nikki - clearly seems like she doesn’t care anymore. If she knew the rice lacked salt, just re do the plating after you’ve added salt. I mean who tastes salt after putting it in the mould? Also her presentation was so so. I think she’s overconfident now that she has the immunity pin. Also, the dish was almost exactly as Teja envisioned.

4. Teja - Atleast she tried to do something different with the cous cous crisps, and added her own to the dish. It was an ok presentation, not her best dish or presentation but not bad.

5. Archana - Okayish presentation, but there was no Archana in the dish. Even if she served the ravioli with saag, it’s ok but she should’ve named her dish differently. This could be an interesting take on palak paneer. She’s now looking like she’s out of ideas.

6. Rajiv - this guy always impresses. I think he made a fairly good dish with ok plating. Just the fact that he only got boiled vegetables and he pulled this off is commendable.

Challenge 2-

Why did Nikki get an advantage? Until now the previous challenges top dish winner got the advantage.

Also, did anyone else feel Tai literally got the easiest spices to recognize - stone flower, peepli, mustard seeds and even turmeric (which she didn’t get). Archana didn’t get bad spices either, though I suspect Nikki and Teja wouldn’t have guessed some of them. I’m a North Indian who’s lives in Maharashtra and in Maharashtra they don’t use whole spices as much as in North India and also, they don’t use a lot of spices used in the north. So Nikki and Teja both being Marathis from Maharashtra clearly had a disadvantage.

While I’ve started loving Archana and Gaurav’s pair, I really would’ve liked new pairs. Somehow I hope Teja and Nikki don’t end up with a good dish, only for Nikki to learn a lesson.

I’m going to miss today’s episode, since I’m off travelling for the weekend. Will be looking forward to updates here.

Gaurav n Archana’s banter is cute

Nikki ki problem kya hai? Gaurav se kuch pichle janam ki dushmani hai kya? Bechare ne to kuch kiya bhi nahi hai

1. what the real hell did Nikki blabbered? why she lacks basic manners to talk to a person?
2. Please ignore the list and numbering, vo khud hi aarahi hai.

Earlier I didn’t dislike Nikki as much as others did. Just thought she was a self obsessed bimbo. But her ranting today was too much . she is a vile sore loser.

And why does she have this misconception that she n Teja r strong contenders? Didn’t hesitate to throw Teju under the bus during spice challenge. Pehle se hi dimaag laga kar chun leti Usha Tai ko..instead she literally snatched Teju from Rajiv

Nikki has tweeted this after yesterday's fiasco

So the chaat challenge was fun I loved it. It was simple yet challenging. Most of the presentations were basic nothing much innovation. To uspe zyada baat nhn karte. There were 4 highlights of episode.

1. Archana and gaurav ka pair. Zabardast combo. Maza b aya, co-ordination bhi thi. Acha lagrha tha. Sab

2. Ushaa ji's weird behaviour towards rajiv. Ab bht zyada horha hai. Mjhe kuch kehna e nhn ispe.

3. Nikki throwing teja under the bus INFRONT OF TEJA. Mtlb guts she has!

4. Nikki's ultimate overconfidence fhat gaurav is insecure of her and that cheap comment. Glad gaurav gave it back. Agar gaurav k jeetne wali baat sahi hai, to I can't wait to see nikki in the finale. Such vile person should never win anything. She thinks she is in bigg boss. Itna e shoq hai to khana sahi se bnao
