This year's version of that amateur cooking contest on television is reaching the pointy end with only a week or so to go before the winner is declared.

Each year there is at least one contestant who attracts my interest for his...ah...qualities as distinct from any perceived cooking skills.

This year my fancy is

Brent Owens

I like his smile, his physique, his seemingly even temperament. Apparently he is a reasonable cook too even though he constantly finds himself on the losing side in team events. Yet again this week he will have to compete in the elimination round.

Although there are two other male competitors still in the running who I know from social media comments are very attractive to viewers Brent remains my favourite. I hope he lasts until the final night because once he is gone the eye candy element of this year's series will disappear for me.
