Looking at the next few fixtures, I don't think there are many easy games in there. Watford away followed by Charlton at home and then Wolves is exactly the sort of run where you start getting a much better idea of what this Burnley side is actually capable of.

Personally, I'd take a scrappy win over Watford rather than worrying about how convincing it looks. Getting points on the board before Wolves would make the whole run feel different.

Which game out of those three do you think tells us the most about where we are?

The thing I'd probably struggle with most isn't finding a route. It's walking up to someone I've never met and asking them to help me figure out where I'm supposed to go, where I can stay or how I'm getting to the next place.

You can have a brilliant plan on paper and then one delayed bus or closed road completely destroys it. Someone who is comfortable talking to locals can sometimes recover much faster because they can ask questions instead of standing there trying to work everything out themselves.

I'd probably waste ten minutes pretending I had a plan before finally admitting I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

I loved the Central Asia route, but some of the later series have become such massive journeys that the teams sometimes seem to fly through places before moving on again. Series 1 felt a bit more intimate because the route was shorter and there was more time to actually take in the places they visited. I want Series 7 to scale things back a little. Not necessarily a tiny route, just something where the journey itself feels as important as reaching the finish line.

I really loved this bake. The whole mirror idea was so clever, and the little details made it even better. It’s the kind of bake where you can tell how much thought went into it, rather than just making something that looks pretty. Definitely one of the more memorable ones for me. ❤️

No matter how many series I watch, I still get stressed watching a professional chef get given a really basic task and then completely panic. It’s probably my favourite part because there’s nowhere to hide.

One thing I always notice on MasterChef is how differently contestants react when they're put under pressure. Some just stick with their original idea, while others start changing everything halfway through. For me, being able to trust your own dish when things get stressful is a big part of the competition. You can really see the difference between someone who stays calm and someone who starts second-guessing everything.

I remember how my opinion of Hannah changed during the retreat. At first I found her quite difficult and didn’t really warm to her, but seeing how the other girls treated her made me look at the whole situation differently. It made me realise that sometimes the first impression you get of someone on MAFS isn’t necessarily the full story.

After watching a few seasons, you start spotting the warning signs pretty quickly. The constant “my type on paper” chat, avoiding proper conversations, or suddenly acting different when someone new walks in are usually enough to make me think a couple won’t last.
