To be extremely excited about The Great British Bake Off tonight - Biscuits!

[mrszimmerman]

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.

DH was cringing at Holly's blouse dangling in everything.

Pies next week. I could enter my Chicken and Ham Pie. Will be interested in pork pies.

Wish Paul would pork my pie.

I'm not feeling the Paul love.

I like the lady how did the toothpaste effect biscuits. She seems like a lot of fun.

Nice to know I'm not the only person who cannot make macaroons despite trying endlessly.

Is it me or does Janet look permanently like a rabbit in headlights?

Sarah

I have never made macaroons, but I may have a go this weekend.

I love Mary Berry and have her baking books.

I can't watch it because the footy is on, but I love it! I got the book of the first series and all the baking I've done out of it has come out delicious! Really scrummy!

Yeah, sorry bit TMI there

He doesn't do it for me either.

Bella, good luck if you make them let me know how they turn out.

I will Fanny. I bet you would be a fab macaroon maker!

check out The Silver Fox making scones getting all messy oh No No Look! Look!! If he starts kneading that I Shall Expire! I'm about to faint clean away!!

"Wish Paul would pork my pie." sarahstratton LOL !!!

Now surely young Rob bats for the other side ladies? Surely? Or is he a Manly Effeminate? And honestly ladies, he is way to young for some of yous.

Holly's blouse, fabulous, you are so right and I hadn't noticed but it's a shocker.

She may win but Jason is extraordinary. Imagine whoopin Ass with brandy snaps having not done them before and Holly was So Smug about them.
Pride comes before a fall Holly! And Rob Pride comes before you DROP YOUR GANACHE ON THE FLOOR YOU BIFFO!

Spoiler alert:
I love all the sobbing too, it's so right. I was glad Ben left, he couldn't take criticism, his snaps were too spicey, his pink cake was repulsive. Raise your Game Man!

I'd like Jason to win (how beautiful were some of his biscuits!) but I love the woman who's a childminder and who had a disastrous week with biscuits. Holly probably should win, she's the most consistent isn't she?

Oooh, hands....

Jason is mine, all mine....Dh is only 28, I'm sure no one would notice if I just swap him for Jason. It's only what a 9 year drop

Mmmmm, those firm hands, that kneading technique, that air of authority...

Jason is rather nice. And much nearer my DH's age, they're only 5 years apart, so do I get him?

I don't get the Paul 'salt is not a matter of opinion' Hollywood (is Hollywood his real name ... it's got to be made up right?!).

I like that lady who makes crazy yummy looking things from random old recipes - they always look tasty and the little cupcakes she made with twirls of apple on top looked amazing.

No you bloody don't LDR. I put dibs on him first and I am not willing to share. Well at least until I get bored and then you are welcome to my sloppy seconds As long as I can borrow him to bake for me every now and again!

I take issue with being told Rob is too young for me! I'm only 31! He is NOT gay either!

at Jacqueline.

These lads are TOO young for you, ladeez, put them down, it's undignified.
Who do you think you are, Madonna?

Now Paul... mmmmm, there's a grown up with all his own hair to consider.

A man on a mission. A man with a manly handshake no doubt. A chubby silver fox with a Mind of his own. A man whose strong hands, covered with flour will take a hold of any dough which needs some discipline and give it what it needs.

(time to leave the room sans personal dignity)

Back off mrszimmerman. Paul is all mine.

French Sticks at dawn.
Say good bye to your loved ones.

No disrespect but could Rob be heterosexual?

Honestly?
He seems Gayer than Gay!

He seems to be Beyond Gay!
My gaydar must suck really badly if he's straight.

Rob is Gay. End of discussion.
