But you know what I love 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: is that you're still intrinsically you, And that's what people 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: love is that you're not a precision cook. 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 3: No one's ever accused me of that. No, that's right. 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: But the result is always amazing and no matter what 14 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: fluster you get in it's like watching Bewitched. You know, 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: there's a tussle in the middle and it's all going 16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: to be okay at the end. 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: Wiggle my nose and make things perfect. It's not always 18 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: okay in the end. There's a few, you know, ups 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: and downs. The roller coaster is real. But yeah, it's 20 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: enormous fun and I'm really starting to enjoy myself. 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 4: Like Quail, I just have no time for Quail. It's 22 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 4: just a small chicken and the quail egg. That seems 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 4: it just seems like, come on, don't we eat enough 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 4: in this. 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: World to eat while picking on the small one? 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: What is even a quail? What is it? It's a 27 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 3: small bird. 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: It's a game bird, so it's kind. 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 3: Of a can it get bigger? 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 31 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: No one they give it, but no one gives it 32 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 3: a chance. 33 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: It's not going to be a dinosaur if you let 34 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: it go. 35 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: I don't think they all get eaten. 36 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: No, I think that. 37 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: I think that that's its fully grown state. But for me, 38 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: a quail is it's like a toothpick, like I can't 39 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: for me to prepare quail for my family, I would 40 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: need a quail farm for a start and a lot 41 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 2: of money and a lot of time, and they would 42 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: inhale it and it would be done. So it's not 43 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: a practical thing for me to cook. So I don't 44 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: actually cook with them ever. 45 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: With the we spoke to at the beginning, and you 46 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: said you had a lot of things to weigh up 47 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: because going back in as winner, that's a lot of pressure, 48 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: and it's a pressure sit situation, and you wondered how 49 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: you'd be I hope you feel so validated at the 50 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: love that everyone feels for you in there. I hope 51 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: this has been a wonderful experience for you. 52 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: Oh look, it really has. And the other contestants are beautiful. 53 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: It's an amazing group of people. And I don't know 54 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: if you if it's coming through on the screen, but 55 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: whenever somebody wins, everyone's happy for them. Whenever somebody loses, 56 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 2: we commiserate with them and we get back into the 57 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: green room in between filming and we all just talk 58 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: about food and we have a great laugh. You know, 59 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: we're in the middle of writing Master Chef the musical. 60 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: You know, we're coordinating dance moves. It's just a lot 61 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: of fun. It's been a beautiful experience and everyone's just 62 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: kind of lifting each other up and carrying each other along. 63 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: So I'm really grateful for that. 64 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 4: And I've noticed on the show that you're spending more 65 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: and more time in the gantry above the kitchen, which 66 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 4: is better because that means you're going through, you're going further. 67 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: That's a good place to and you don't yell out 68 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: as much advice from the gantry, because I find it 69 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 4: very irritating when those people go or you're doing it wrong, 70 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 4: and I would find that very distracting. 71 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's a funny thing being on the gantry. 72 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: So I sort of spoke to people individually and said, 73 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: do you want because I know Mindy who's really full 74 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: of energy, and when she's up on the gantry, she's 75 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: full of encouragement. Aldo as well, full of encouragement. And 76 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: Mindy actually hates it if there's quiet in the kitchen. 77 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: So if we're on the gantry and she's down on 78 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: the floor and there's no noise, she'll rev us up 79 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: and say, come on, guys, give me some energy. And 80 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: so she likes to be shouted down to. And then 81 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: of course the producers are like, come on, gantree, give 82 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: us some energy. It's like nobody wants us to say it. 83 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: It's so hard. And also, if a couple of people 84 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: are cooking, who do you know, do you cheer everyone on? 85 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: You have to pick a favorite because often you see 86 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: clapping Yeah I love it, you think, well, I hope 87 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: they cheered the other one too. 88 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. I know. It's funny what goes to air and 89 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: what doesn't go to air. And you know, you get 90 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: this feed back when old people they gave you advice, 91 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: but they didn't give her advice as Actually, there's like 92 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: a dozen cameras and we film all day long and 93 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: that gets condensed into one hour. So I promise you 94 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: you don't see everything that happens. What you see is 95 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: sort of whatever carries through to the story. So you 96 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: see the story of what was cooked, what went wrong, 97 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: what went right, who won, who lost?

I 117 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: don't have people yelling at me, you know. So cooking 118 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 2: at home is a completely different experience to cooking in 119 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: the Master Chef kitchen.
