I cried when Molly dropped her cake. Just a few tears.

I'm a saddo aren't I?

To be honest, i was more saddened that she didn't leave 🤐

MiddleAgedDread · 23/09/2026 12:09

any chance you could add "Spoiler alert" to the title for those of us still to watch it on catch up??

Littlegreywolfcub · 23/09/2026 12:16

Oh dear - I was laughing; a lot. I am not a nice person. But there's something about a cake falling to the floor

Littlegreywolfcub · 23/09/2026 12:17

@SplendidUtterly yeah - her voice is somewhat grating - bless 😂

To be fair to the OP - I would have thought that the title was clear enough to alert people who hadn't seen it yet not to read it!

Littlegreywolfcub · 23/09/2026 12:18

Overall though @NigellasNeck I enjoyed the whole programme and will definitely watch next week's episode. Nigella is good as a judge.

Surely you wouldn’t click on the thread if you were worried about being spoilered? It’s pretty clear from the title that something happened in Bake Off that made her cry, so it is likely to contain spoilers of what happened!

nomas · 23/09/2026 12:26

I haven’t seen it but I would be more irritated that someone has dropped their cake. They’ve got one job!

Ir is that it was a slithery mess and glooped to on the floor?

shellyleppard · 23/09/2026 12:29

@nomas spoiler alert....she was only wearing one oven glove and dropped it because of that. It was perfectly formed though....

NigellasNeck · 23/09/2026 12:31

Yes she realised her mistake.

Not something I'd cry at but I did feel sorry for Molly - her first bake too. She did well to get something out after that.

I do find Danni a bit jarring though so didn't feel upset for her really. Just a shame Shannon was taken ill otherwise I think Danni would have been out

As soon as Shannon went off ill, we said "Nobody's going home today, then!"

VickyEadie · 23/09/2026 12:34

I do like Nigella as a judge - and how even the young gay fella is flirting with her!

Yes I suspect Danni is neurodiverse but my goodness she's definitely what we call "too much" these days. She needs to rein it right in! Mind you I think she will be out next week anyway.

I agree. I suppose she can't help her annoying voice!

God I agree but wasn’t sure if this was part of her disability so didn’t feel it was right to comment…

Nigella sounds like she’s had a stroke as well, her speech is so slurred.

Apprently Danni goes by ‘they’ not ‘she’, if anyone cares

Why did you not scroll on if you hadn't watched it ?

Can I just confirm she was really irritating me before I knew this. I’m an inclusively irritated.

BarbaraUsher · 23/09/2026 13:05

Specialagentblond · 23/09/2026 13:06

Just don’t go to the Sistine chapel

MiddleAgedDread · 23/09/2026 13:09

NigellasNeck · 23/09/2026 12:22

Exactly. Duh!

you could have been crying about anything.....a joke, a contestant's life story......

I was wondering if she is autistic

But surely if a program was on last night and you hadn't had a chance to watch it yet, you would avoid any thread about that program so you wouldn't see spoilers?
