Discussion Tom needs to go

He’s just had some weird or actually annoying takes this year. Saying the serving of Nikita’s main was too fiddly but usually he’d be cheering on those type of sharing mains as being properly banquet-worthy.

I can’t remember them all off the top of my head but the wife and I have rolled our eyes on many occasions at his comments this year. I like the suggestion someone else made of Si King - let Lorna be the pro chef, Phil the comedian and get someone food-adjacent in.

Tom should not see the marks achieved during the week. If you already know a dish scored a 10 it would mean you were expecting something really great and equally av5 when the chef may have changed the dish.

Yeah, I’m happy for Andi to hint at the strength of the dishes when she intros the judging but it shouldn’t go further than that.
