I loved Clover's dolls - they were beautiful. Glad Cáit has gone - she seemed nice but she just wasn't keeping up anymore.

Akire · 10/03/2017 17:10

Really enjoy loved loved Clovers work. It was the right time for Cait to go she been struggling ages. Her biggest old lady wasn't even done that well and she spend havevthe time on it. Sad about Nam as he's been much higher than a lot but his dolls looked awful.
Think Richard will go next he needs to be pushing self not play safe old stuff.

Wait, she actually went into a shop and purchased that awful smock? It looks like something you knock together in home ec class. Vaguely remember making something similar dungaree wise.

He's making a toilet with a turtle's head??

Brillig · 16/03/2017 20:07

Well, tonight's is quite a challenge....

LIZS · 16/03/2017 20:08

Stained glass, wok? Confused

EsmesBees · 16/03/2017 20:22

I prefer the weeks when they do the smaller, more intricate pottery, rather than these huge toilets. Seem more about logistics than design so far.

LIZS · 16/03/2017 20:24

Another sack dress too!

muppet1969 · 16/03/2017 20:54

The turtle is brilliant!

LIZS · 16/03/2017 21:00

Loved the turtle design .

Lunaballoon · 16/03/2017 21:03

That turtle toilet was magnificent!

Roomba · 16/03/2017 21:10

I'd never watched this before this evening's episode, which I caught by chance. I really enjoyed it and will have to go and watch previous episodes now!

That turtle was amazing, and I liked Clover's style too. I did have to laugh at the toilet that worked more like a fountain...

PurpleDaisies · 16/03/2017 21:40

If thang turtle hadn't been a toilet I'd have been buying one. Absolutely brilliant from Ryan.

I was sad to see Freya go-overall I think she's been better than Richard but the spraying toilet was fairly unforgivable! I'm hoping Clover wins but I like Ryan too.

Fontella · 16/03/2017 22:04

A bit of a turn up for the books that one.

Freya was so artistic and creative - such a shame she had to go - but they couldn't really ignore the toilet disaster.

I too would like to see Clover win it now, but Ryan is also great. Richard would have to do something truly spectacular.

Sad it's coming to an end next week. I'm going to miss it.

GavelRavel · 16/03/2017 22:07

Ryan's turtle was brilliant, like Clovers Russian Dolls last week. i think these were the standout pieces from the whole show so either could and should win. I'd rather have seen Nam as the third find Alistair I think. Freya was very creative but just a bit all over the shop compared to the others.

Great show, i really hope they don't cancel it like the sewing bee.

GavelRavel · 16/03/2017 22:08

Finalist!

PurpleDaisies · 16/03/2017 22:09

Those Russian dolls were incredible.

MissWimpyDimple · 16/03/2017 22:09

The turtle toilet was fantastic.

TwoLeftSocks · 16/03/2017 22:15

The turtle toilet and Johnny Vegas in the same night, I'm a very happy (beginners course) potter.

Fontella · 16/03/2017 22:45

It does make me laugh - Johnny Vegas doing his degree in ceramics!

Best comedy moment of the season so far tonight!

Knifegrinder · 16/03/2017 23:49

Freya was robbed! (As was Elaine some weeks back.) Richard is clunky and his designs are predictable and not that well executed. This programme really needs to decide whether the final verdict is only on the main make or whether the challenges matter at all. Because Freya's free challenge pot tonight was a million times better than Richard's clunky jug and undecorated goblets. As were her teapots!

WhoKn0wsWhereTheTimeG0es · 17/03/2017 00:01

We've been willing Richard to go sonce about week 2, I don't find him very likeable and his work is middling, which is why he always stays in, there's always someone worse. I thought Freya should have stayed, I agree her pots were way better than his.

Notmyrealname85 · 17/03/2017 00:06

Sad about Freya as I agree she is more creative than Richard, and when she has excelled it has been to a greater extent than him. I'm confused about the mini challenges, they don't seem to count for much!

SapphireStrange · 17/03/2017 09:51

I'm confused about the mini challenges, they don't seem to count for much!

I agree with this. The criteria are not at all clear.

I think Richard should have gone weeks ago and Elaine stayed in. I don't mind Freya going; I don't like her much and find her work rather ugly most of the time.

Ryan seriously raised his game after last week, which was impressive. The amount of thought and research he'd obviously put in to the turtle loo was incredible.

I'd be happy if he or Clover won TBH.
