Roll up, roll up, Hollywood Handshakes for all! Great British Bake Off 3rd Thread

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

And we’re off

Right choices for me there.

Thank you Ticca

I've been hovering over the Bosh book on Amazon for a while but frightened to take the plunge.

I'll have a look at the other two as well.

Sorry to lose Jon.

Poor Jon. I will miss him.

Ruby is very annoying.

I find Rahul a PITA.

But he was better this week as he wasn't so servile and apologetic.

The Power of the Wolf was with him.

Well its been fun. See all you swingers back here next week 😀

Anyone notice all the floral shirts in next weeks? Homage to Jon?

DH switched off - what is being baked next week?

That’s a nice thought @Eve.

See you next week, whingers.

@SchadenfreudePersonified buy the Bosh book! You will not regret it!! It’s where the spiral tart recipe from tonight came from too.

Whingers' Anonymous meeting next week - same time, same place.

And what is posted on the thread, starts on the thread, people.

SchadenfreudePersonified I use the internet a lot but I have this book which I love www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Goodness-Delicious-plant-based-recipes/dp/1784880477?tag=mumsnetforum-21

This recipe I like more than I used to like normal Mac and cheese minimalistbaker.com/vegan-green-chili-mac-n-cheese/

I have a rocky relationship with vegan cheese and there is only one available in supermarkets that I like. But a few small producers make almost homemade vegan cheese on a slightly larger scale and sell at markets and for collection and some of it is unbelievably good.

Bit gutted Jon has gone. Thought he’d done just enough with that last cake but obviously not.

Ooh yes to Bosh as well!! That's actually a better first book recommendation from Ticcinalong

Aw, absolutely gutted to see Jon go

Ok saw jon go. But missed who was star baker somehow but can someone tell me?

@Graphista, Kim Joy was star baker. I though it was going to be Manon, but it all went wrong for her in the showstopper.

Shame about Jon. He just had a mare this week as Dan did last.

I do think Paul in particular goes easy on Raul when he has an off moment - he really backtracked at the end in insisting Raul could still be up for star baker as his showstopper 'wasn't that bad'. Raul is very good but shouldn't be treated with kid gloves when he gets it wrong.

any one get the feeling that Sandi and Noel think Paul's a bit of a dick?

Their body language after he said it was Ruby's fault and then after he said Raul's was ok because

I, controversially am glad Jon has gone. Sorry! Too moany about vegan week and acting like he was at a disadvantaged because he only usually bakes with raw meat.

This write up is very entertaining! Only just found it; I'll have to go back and read the ones for the other episodes now.

Thanks. I'm glad Kim joy got a star baker. I think she's quite good.

Jon was struggling from the beginning I felt.

Good article lemon. What is "the pool"?

Not a fan of Paul. How come Dab and Jon have a nightmare and get be axe but Rahul doesn't? Kim Joy to win !

In fairness Rahul had a very good signature and he came first in the technical, so I don't think he was ever in danger of leaving.

To be fair, Rahul did really well in the first two rounds, that must have been enough to save him from all but poisoning the judges.
