Here we are

😂 Selasi

Won't steam stop it crisp?

Right - whoever gets the less well received Fougasse out of Tom and Rav is homeward bound tonight

Tom's looks good but he rarely looks like he's having fun.

Ahhh yes Grouchy! 7 contestants and 2 each! I thought the place was gonna be awash with them huge breads!

Selasi could be in trouble but I think Rav or Tom should go

Rav hasnt done well in the technical challenges has he.

Benjamina's look pretty good..
not sure about Jane's this time, :( bit too thick. But hers usually taste good

Bmins looks nice

book this is the fougasse recipe I use.

Selasi is cracking me up.

Some of those look seriously underbaked.

I am trying to wrap presents for DD2's birthday, and watch at the same time. I'm doing both badly.

I do think this is a tenuous theme worthy of X Factor.

They could do botanicals week too, in fact. Erm... 'I never promised you a rose garden...' or u2 'Lemon' maybe.

Lots of wafting going on

what's all the wafting for? nothing wrong with hot bread, surely?

They all look quite tasty

Rav did good

Oh my god, Candice needs to stop pouting.

If the wind changes, she'll stay like that.

Yay Bmin. I'd be pleased if she got star baker again.

Bmin, Jane and Candice are my picks for the final.

It's like she's doing mouth exercises

Polka The tennis cake was bizarre. All the precarious nets. It was definitely one of my 'where they flip did they dredge that up from/ there's a reason no -one makes it any more' moments

well done Tom
thanks Purple :)

I would have thought six cuts a side are too many.

I normally just lurk on these threads but given tonight's theme, I can't resist showing off my Mum's cupcake Boucakes. She taught herself by watching YouTube videos!

Also I've never tasted a meringue do they actually taste eggy?

Jane and Bmin did good too, glad about that

Ooh Rav! Achieving in the technical. Both Tom and Rav making our predictions look shaky.

Jane's getting competitive
