Personally I think a few of them could be more into food, i.e. shit-cook Sharnee who seemed to have no idea about anything and then said at the end she wants to be a food writer anyway. (WTF?!) At least Marion and Jonathan seem to have a dedication to food, rather than just showing up and being all like, ‘hey I’m an accountant but I think I might want to work with food so I’ll just be all good looking and get onto Masterchef and see how I go’. FOR EXAMPLE.

Marion used to blog, too, at hedonistic hostess. I was a big fan ;)

Meanwhile, Joanne keeps on keeping on … gah! Enjoyed the Daily Terrorgraph poll that found she was the least popular of all of them. Their verdict was that the likely winner was, of course, Marion, but Adam also rated highly.

What do folks think about Marion’s background? Daughter of chef, telly journo cum wineseller cum masters student in gastronomy. Does this make her too professional?

In general I quite like that it’s making people talk about food when they might not otherwise. On the other hand it’s turning people into food wankers. This includes D’Arcy. He’s more interested in the idea of food, but doesn’t necessarily eat more, and is more critical of it (in an obnoxious kind of way).
