This is the problem with prerecorded shows, the voice of the people is not heard. TBF, that's usually a good thing but not in this case. #JusticeForIain

So what was the clip of Mary saying "that's not acceptable" to someone at the beginning? Did I miss something? Nothing was said at all!

The thing is, Chetna had similar problems with her ice cream and at least she presented something. So I can see where the judges are coming from.

Mind you, in that heat they should have given them more time for the freezing process.

It can't just be me who saw Richard smirk at Iain's misfortune, that was twattery in the extreme what a wankbadger.

Diana should have owned up, I dislike her and Nancy.

snozzlemaid · 27/08/2014 21:20

Sue has just tweeted that his ice cream was only out of the freezer for 40 seconds.

MissWimpyDimple · 27/08/2014 21:20

I was ushering dd into bed so I must have missed it. So Mary did tell her off?

Monkeyandanimal · 27/08/2014 21:20

Which one is richard?

ppeatfruit · 27/08/2014 21:21

Yes poor Ian. Mary was very nice to him, he was crying Sad The odd thing was that Diane said where was his freezer ? Which made it look like it was her fault.

I reckon they should give star baker to someone who's not been it before, especially because they all seem to be really good in this series.

MissWimpyDimple · 27/08/2014 21:21

I need to go on twitter!

Bunnygirlie · 27/08/2014 21:22

Sue just tweeted - @sueperkins: Iain's Alaska was out of the freezer for 40 secs. That's it. No sabotage. 40 secs of normal temp would NOT be enough to reduce it to liquid

It's all kicking off on twitter!!!

Bunnygirlie · 27/08/2014 21:23

And Paul

@PaulHollywood: At the end of the day Mary & I need something to judge, it's not about melted ice cream but about what's presented to US... #bingate

Icimoi · 27/08/2014 21:23

I thought Martha should have been in the running at least for star baker, having won round 2 and produced the Key Lime Baked Alaska that they were really enthusiastic about in round 3. OK, she didn't do too well in round 1, but then Richard didn't have the best round 2.

MagratsHair · 27/08/2014 21:24

Richard is the bald smirking smug faced twat

Dolly80 · 27/08/2014 21:25

In light of Sue's tweet...why didn't they just say that on the show?

Didn't notice Richard smirk but that's put me right off him. And Kate's comment 'I've learnt not to throw a bake out' Seemed so unnecessary.

Vivacia · 27/08/2014 21:26

Why didn't anyone mention what happened!? Mel, Sue, the other contestants. I find that odd.

That's why I think it's down to the editing. The way Diana was acting too... it just doesn't feel right that the show represented things as they actually happened.

LaChatte · 27/08/2014 21:26

See, this is all BBC1's fault because of the crappy editing.

Exactly Ici .

Monkeyandanimal · 27/08/2014 21:30

Thanks for the clarification Magratshair So you don't like him then? Wasn't quite sure where your feelings lay with that one....

Snapespotions · 27/08/2014 21:30

Well, they shouldn't have edited it that way if Diana wasn't to blame. But she did take Ian's ice cream out of the freezer, didn't she? If only for forty seconds? Confused

bugsyburge · 27/08/2014 21:32

40 seconds at 25 degrees is a pretty long time. i think its hugely unfair that iain went

Snapespotions · 27/08/2014 21:32

I thought Martha should have got star baker too. First in the technical challenge and really well in round 3. Weirdly, they didn't even mention her when discussing who might be in the running. Confused

Forty seconds on a hot day is quite a lot. And Diana defo looked like she had been caught out. she should have apologised. a lot.
