I have not watched Expresso for some time. The last auditions I watched were in 2018. Since rejoining as a viwer after this break I can only say what a disappointment those successful aspirants from that 2018 audition are. They have had 2-3 years to prove themselves and are failing dismally. Especially the African gentleman on the show on Wednesday morning may 26. What arrogance! He appeared to be on a "high"! He was full of himself, unobliging and argumentative in helping Chef Clem make the lemon meringue pie and ended up taking over making the pie - the cooking - himself. He actually said "no"! And refused to whip the egg whites. He did not Clem down who as a perfect gentleman plowed thro' the segment alone with no help. I doubt if this guy has ever made a LMP! He was loud, kept interrupting and ignorant. What is he still doing there? Clearly he is not prepared to follow instructions from his directors, very experienced fellow presenters or Clem. He reminded me of another arrogant little twerp who was also a disaster - Danilo!!!??*+?* Fire him forthwith. He has no talent or contribution to make and tell him to go back to non speaking bit parts in some more heartburn adverts - if he is lucky. But I am sure he has burnt his boats in the industry and nobody wants to touch him with a barge pole. The young lady in Afternoon Express is also a dismal failure! God can she talk. She is like a Barbie Doll on speed! What an ego! Does she ever draw a breath, slow down her delivery or realize the show is NOT about her. I watched the episode Cook Along this past week. Her and chef Chumi ridicule all guest chefs by taking over all the tasks and leaving the chefs marooned with unfinished demonstrations. They are all about themselves - self glorification. This young lady is exhausting with her winking and blinking and flapping around of hands and talking over guests presenting her own views. She is the female version of Danilo. Why not give Afternoon Express over to Zoe and Graham. There you have Carl W a long standing helper in the background and what intelligence, humour, good manners and tact - and there he has been with this wealth of talent all these years and sidelined to bit parts by your team of presenters and directors. Please give him more to do he is gold! And give us mercy and ditch those other two egotists. They are serving no purpose and they have been given more than enough time to prove themselves. Patience Stevens what were you thinking when these two passed the auditions? Glynis van Blerk. Please get these two off your shows. I lose interest and switch for the channel change button.
