I love the Silver Fox and all his ferocious solemnity.
He can come knead my dough any time.

Competitive baking..... sigh
Bliss.
I don't respect myself for this but it is the case I can't deny it.

Thanks for the reminder. Surely this will be the best thing on TV all year? I am Sky+ing it now.

MmeLindor. · 06/09/2011 16:35

Oh, thanks for the reminder. Must watch.

Who do you think is going to win? I don't know the names yet, but the woman last week, MNetty kind of a woman. She was good.

I love it and I am gluten intolerant. Hmm
It all looks so yummy, but forbidden fruit to me. Just so bloody unfair.

Itsjustafleshwound · 06/09/2011 18:20

It is great!! I have bought the book and I hope I can do the recipes justice.

Is it brandy snap night?

allhailtheaubergine · 06/09/2011 18:23

Oh don't! I am so jealous. I was back in UK and caught the first 2 episodes and now I'm missing it. Have even tried to download it somehow but can't :(

Who was the 3rd one to be evicted? Who was star baker last week?

HowlingBitch · 06/09/2011 18:23

I have missed so much of it! But I WILL be watching it tonight.

Have a go at some of these Dirty! They look yummy.

pamplemousserose · 06/09/2011 18:25

Macarons. Mmmmmm!

gilbonzothesecretpsychocunt · 06/09/2011 18:27

Love it.

Must get out more.....

ViviPru · 06/09/2011 18:30

YANBU - I can't work out who I'm more in love with - Rob, Sue or the DeVol kitchen units....

georgie22 · 06/09/2011 18:30

I'm also ridiculously excited about the Great British Bake Off. Not watched previous series but it's like a beacon of light in the mire of awful TV! I'm turning into my mom!

LadySybilPussPolham · 06/09/2011 18:32

I LOVE it. DH keeps going on about how great Paul's silver fox look is...

BupcakesandCunting · 06/09/2011 18:34

Rob.

He can ice my buns any day.

EnglishMumInSouthOfFrance · 06/09/2011 18:51

Rob is rather tasty but a little on the young side!

I watched last season and loved it, so far am not disappointed this season either.

GeneralCustardsHardHat · 06/09/2011 18:53

Whats the name of the guy with the grey hair, he's far tastier than any of the baking they've been doing!

BupcakesandCunting · 06/09/2011 18:58

Paul Hollywood and he looks like my DAD so can you not say sexy things about him because it's too close for comfort for me. Cheers!

HowlingBitch · 06/09/2011 19:00

Oh my Bupcakes, Can I call round to yours at Christmas?

ViviPru · 06/09/2011 19:00

ferocious solemnity how did I broaden my vocabulary before MN?

BupcakesandCunting · 06/09/2011 19:01

You can but then you'd have to fight off my stepmum. Who looks like Jennifer Aniston.

JodieHarsh · 06/09/2011 19:03

STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT Angry

I am Not Permitted to watch without DH and he is on the night shift for the next FOREVER so I can't watch until FRIDAY Sad Angry

If I find out who gets sent home before I get to see it I shall thcweam and thcweam and thcweam until I'm thick.

allhailtheaubergine · 06/09/2011 19:04

Paul Hollywood is a bit orange though, isn't he?

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 06/09/2011 19:05

Rob flirts with Paul Hollywood.

Jaquelinehyde · 06/09/2011 19:05

Oh God I love the programme, I look forward to Tuesdays now!

I'm loving Jason the student guy.

I'm going to get the book and my Mum has said I should get a Be-ro book as apparently it's has the best recipes?

I am an absolute novice and haven't baked anything for years but I have the bug now!

ViviPru · 06/09/2011 19:06

haha amused and comforted at the extent of the phenomena that is rules about not watching programmes without the OH.

I make DP watch it with me but he gets all crotchety because it makes him "want a pudding now and there's never any sodding pudding in this house"

BupcakesandCunting · 06/09/2011 19:06

Rob flirts with ME, through subliminal messages. He does.
