Now I think we can all agree that Auntie Rosie did herself a wee bit too much swearing in the recap of last night’s show. that’s great and all, but I don’t watch reno shows for a reason. Scott says the first time they came to Aron and Vanessa’s restaurant, they gave them fairly beige food. I’d apologize for breaking my word on the swearing, but I’m just not sorry.

I certainly don’t remember seeing any visits from Prune Faced Missie (hereafter referred to as PFM) nor from John Lethlean. Tonight PFM goes to Perth, John to Adelaide and the secret critic, to Melbourne (I thought he or she was there the other night? ). Reine kisses John and he says he doesn’t usually kiss people at the front of house. In Adelaide, John says Reine made them feel welcome.

Kym says she looks gorgeous, but should cut the action short a bit. Todd says her kids can be proud of her (we saw her 3 year old daughter at rehearsal), but her core collapses and she buckles in the middle. Helen says his dances are a bit aggressive, and she’s worried he’ll break Dianne. Helen says when she dances solo she’s great but not so good partnering.

Christina and Tania serve their carpaccio with chilli, capers and finger lime to the judges, and Christina tells them it’s been cooked with love. Tom says the scallops are cooked beautifiully, but the chilli jam is not good Christina and Tania’s main is a chilli king prawn pasta. The boys serve their lime posset with a lime curd, pistachio nut crumble and candied lime zest. Christina and Tania serve their dessert: a lime cake with passionfruit syrup and mascarpone, and once again Christina gets my gorge rising by adding that it was cooked with love.
