I hate blancmange and shudder at the thought of all those wobbly rabbits at parties in my childhood.

PollyFlinderz · 19/09/2018 12:49

Does anyone else think Rahul's shy lack of confidence is an act?

No. I think it’s very real based on someone I have working for me who’s just like him. He’s a career to my son and fabulous at his job.

PollyFlinderz · 19/09/2018 12:51

John should have been star baker.

Dan is quite horrible at times and a conceited phoney to boot.

ppeatfruit · 19/09/2018 12:56

Poor Rahul , no one could put an act on like that Schaden Anyway it's his baking that's on trial not his sad face. Briony won't get past next week (unless her baking improves exponentially) with her sad face or without it!

Dan is quite horrible at times and a conceited phoney to boot.

YES.

I really don't like him. He was subtly nasty about John – 'I don't know what it tastes like, but it looks good.' Bitch!.

ppeatfruit · 19/09/2018 13:08

I'm inclined to agree about Dan. John comes over as a really nice bloke with no 'side' to him . How brave to wear a tutu on the telly for his daughters , he just doesn't look the type! The decoration of his showstopper was lovely ( I love ballet too Grin ).

AD is junk food.

YES! I said to DH what a bitchy comment that was. And he always looks so smug. Like he expects a handshake.

I agree. He's funny too. [Jon* fan club]

*just realised it's Jon not John; sorry mate. Mind you, there's a Mirror article describing him as a 'blood courtier', so I'm not the only one to make a mistake Grin

JellyBears · 19/09/2018 14:03

I think dan is lovely he’s just sarcastic lol and I think it’s a Toss up betwe Kim joy and Briony to Win for me.

Igottastartthinkingbee · 19/09/2018 14:25

Thought last nights thread was quiet! You’re all here!!!

bibliomania · 19/09/2018 14:46

the idea of peach and chocolate makes me want to vom. (Phone just autocorrected that to ‘makes me want to come’

Damn you, Relationship for making me snigger at work.

I might have missed it, but has anyone said anything about Briony's missing fingers? Absolute respect to her for doing these complex tasks and not even mentioning the potential disadvantage.

JellyBears · 19/09/2018 14:56

Totally agree about bryony she’s an inspiration that nothing can stop you achieving your goals.

HildaZelda · 19/09/2018 15:38

Anyone seen Dan's twitter? He's gone on a major rant. I REALLY don't like him now.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/09/2018 16:00

the whole handshake economy is fucked

We should never have come off the approving nod standard.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/09/2018 16:02

Mind you, there's a Mirror article describing him as a 'blood courtier', so I'm not the only one to make a mistake

If those are your standards Nikita . . . .

wowfudge · 19/09/2018 16:02

Has he? Just had a look and can't see what you're referring to Confused

That was in response to Hilda

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/09/2018 16:04

Never even noticed Briony's fingers - I didn't like her in the initial episode, but she is growing on me.

HildaZelda · 19/09/2018 16:06

@wowfudge, you need to look under tweets and replies.

MagnaDoodle · 19/09/2018 16:09

Haha that Dan is such an arsehole

wowfudge · 19/09/2018 16:15

I don't see a rant - I see someone challenging some frankly appalling comments about him with humour. How people think they have the right to tweet the things they do when they don't know the people concerned and have only seen an edited TV programme I don't know.

DarlingNikita · 19/09/2018 16:46

Schadenfreude, pardon my dimness but I don't know what you mean...?
