Why oh why oh why?
When you are dubbing into English from Spanish would you give the overdub a pidgin Spanish accent?
It was like watching Allo Allo!
Or Manuel from Fawlty Towers!
It was dubbed? Thought it was a Spanish voiceover/translator.
How does Arnie sound in Austria when they dub him into German?
Like Hora ?
Ah yes this was very good
(Wife) similar droll, relaxed voice 😆
Whatever the technical term for it, why did they need to get 'most stereotypical English piss take of Spanish accent man' to do it?
I was half expecting the woman food critic just to say 'Interior.......scorchio' at the first opportunity.
great show though.
I liked the guy with the comedy glasses who lived in a sweet shop.
never heard of that Fernando chappie though who invented that froth/ suds stuff.
Errrr...am I missing something? It wasn't dubbed, it was a translator translating what was being said in spanish. And I'm pretty sure it was a spaniard translating to english, not someone taking the piss! It's very hard for spaniards to loose their accent when speaking english and a lot of them sound like that!
Yay! Go Ping!
I get the impression that if she ran a restaurant with five sous-chefs and they all phoned in sick, she'd just sprout a couple of extra pairs of arms and do the whole lot herself.
Gutted. Invention test? Oriental. Next dish? Oriental. Got tired when that was her final dish again no matter how nice it was.
Jack should have won I reckon (but it would be Luke's restaurant I would want to eat in - assuming any food ever left the kitchen!).
Last couple of series have been a bit predictable in terms of winner. Cook Asian food, use some spice and you'll go far, regardless of any other skills or potential. Quite obvious early on this series that Ping would be there or thereabouts.
colournoise + 1 on all counts
I think a lot of my opinions on masterchef are a result of my 'anything but British' attitude to food.
Ok, by 'British' I mean stereotypically british i.e. fish and chips, roast dinner and the other obvious ones, but my point is that I would take almost any cuisine over 'British'. Exceptions would be Scandinavian and Russian, but nearly everything else is just so much more tasty in my opinion.
And I would have been able to 'surprise' the Catalonian top chef with my presentation. I would actually have done fish and chips for him, and lobbed a rolled up packet of newspaper in front of him in true traditional style. For added 'terroir' I would have advised that he sat on a low wall near the local shops and ate it there.
Foodies would decry me as a peasant, but I really, really don't care what food looks like. It is all about taste.
I think the reason why Ping won was because she was the most consistent throughout. The robotics guy came up with some amazing stuff but he was far too inconsistent and had timing issues.
The other guy got better as the comp went on but Ping just seemed to have the edge.
I think one of the things that impressed about Ping was that she was never flustered and could take on a huge amount and still produce amazing food within the timescales.
I agree that is was fairly predictable from fairly early on, but then again Ping was head and shoulders above everyone right from the beginning.
Mikey has it there.
I also find it a bit odd that anyone can say 'oriental' like it is all the same!
Thai, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean(?)
It's a bit like someone on Japanese masterchef cooking pizza, paella, duck a l orange, stuffed vine leaves and beef Wellington and being criticised for always cooking 'european'!
And Ping downed her celebratory champers in one! She just strikes me as one of those unflappable people who can do as many things in one day as I could do in a week and not appear at all busy.
