GBBO season 5

[LaChatte]

It's starting soon , I'm far too excited! just hope the transfer to BBC1 doesn't ruin it!

It's mad on twitter, people are out for blood

The editors have stitched Diana up and staked her out for the wolves

There should be zero tolerance towards anyone messing with someone else's entry. Regardless of whether it was accidental or deliberate.

I had to search out a Bake Off thread to check it wasn't just me thinking 'Eh? Whaaa? That was her fault!'

I see it wasn't just me

He was a gentleman about it - I would not have been so nice.

I had to search out a Bake Off thread to check it wasn't just me thinking 'Eh? Whaaa? That was her fault!'

Same here! I knew I'd find sufficient indignation here.

Mary will be upset?! What about poor Iain?!

If it's down to poor editing, then the BBC needs to issue a public apology as that's really unfair on Diana, but from what we saw, it does look like Iain was wronged!

Me too lemon!
I often lurk on these fab threads but have never posted!
Keep up the good work GbboMners!

40 seconds would have made a difference. The act of moving the bowl would have upset the bonds in the ice crystals. True but not a chemist.

Someone has changed Diana's occupation on the GBBO wiki page to 'ice cream melting supervillain'

Wasn't there some hoo hah last year when someone used someone else's custard and left their own shite custard for the other person?

My indignation would have been yet more righteous if only I could form a proper sentence

I wonder if they'll show some unseen footage to explain FreezerGate a bit more on Friday's extra slice show...since everyone is going crazy about it.

Custardgate was an honest mistake, and the Custard Thief was suitably apologetic - and honest - about it. And gave praise for her custard in his bake.

Trouble is you know, no matter how many 'Bring back Ian' and 'Get Diana out' campaigns there are on Twitter etc. they'll have filmed this weeks and weeks ago - it's a done deed innit?

They've probably even filmed the final by now tbh.

yeah it was filmed in may/june i think so its all buttoned up i think

Ah - we'll get over it you know. It's like when someone sends the 'wrong' person home on the X-Factor - public outcry for a few days then by the time the next show's on - forgotten

Poor beardy Iain No one should have gone this week and Diana (assuming it was her and not dodgy editing) should have put her hand up and apologised. Never been a fan of her's, even less now!

All done and dusted!

Mary, being edited as saying 'it is totally unacceptable' (or near enough) was complaining about the throwing of a disaster...................how come she never complained when Iain and Richard ditched their first bake on the technical?

Dodgy editing.

Very much looking forward to Extra Slice. Want to see what Jo has to say on the matter.

Thought Mary was very kind to Iain, but they had no choice because he binned it. I felt so sad on his behalf. Was my favourite contestant. No eye candy left now

Hope Diana is out next time.

I've just made a shiny new thread entitled "GBBO season 5 - thread #2" (imaginative I know!) No idea how to link from my mobile but it's in Telly Addicts.

See you all there

Yes they ended up with something to show but.....

The BBC should stop hanging people out to dry....................
