GBBO season 5 - thread #2

[Dolly80]

Thought I better start another one (in case I lose you all next week!)

Just thinking about the comment about why did Paul and Mary pick the technical challenge they did when they knew Chetna would be baking the same thing in her signature bake......

Did Paul and Mary know? I know that the contestants have to decide in advance and tell the production team what they'll be baking. But do the production team pass that information on to Paul and Mary? Or do they keep Paul and Mary in the dark so it's a surprise for them and the cameras can pick up good reactions if the contestants come out with strange ideas or ingredients?

I've just learnt I've been saying baklava wrong my entire life.

Oooh baclava, I love a good baclava.

I always say it secretly in my head as balaclava.

So have I it seems Kate

Me too Kate. Though so do Paul and Chetna.

Chai and pistachios, it couldn't get much better for me really.

Bloody hate baklava!

Every time they say it they all say something different! I'm just going to call it "that flaky sticky pastry thing", much easier

Oh dear am secretly a bit pleased that smug Louis' baklava was less than perfect.

Next week is the final. Can't believe it. Will have to switch to The Apprentice.

I would like to see Chetna or Louis to win.

It;s not fair though.
Baklava need to sit in the syrup and soak, overnight if needs be.

They have to pour the syrup and serve.
No.

Oh Schicht Torte.
Also known as Baumkuchen.

I can do Schichttorte :)
My programming guide says this is part 9 out of 11, is it a two part final?

Never knew schichttorte was grilled!

(KateSMNHQ, I have to say none of them pronounced Baklava correctly, your way could be correct.. ya never know!)

Oh hold on.
Not Baumkuchen, that has lair over layer in the same pan.

(KateSMNHQ, I have to say none of them pronounced Baklava correctly, your way could be correct.. ya never know!)

It's now called sticky pastry thing

Oh yes it is.

Sorry...

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but what's with the sheriff badge? 4 weeks ago Kate had it, 3 weeks ago Chetna, didn't see it last week and this week Richard has it.

The star baker wears it. Richard had it last week!

sam that makes sense!

shit is chetna going?!

why is Richard doing a tray of nipples...?
