For a horrible moment I thought they said Tuna Rose🤢

FuzzyPufflinv I did wonder if they forgot to say it had to be in a fancy tin in the intro. Weird choice of not.

The tarts don't look very nice, but pale.

"I'm Welsh"

🙄

Spooky woman's hair is getting on my nerves, straggling everywhere.

And yup, Welsh woman has just signalled her Welshness. Again.

Love how they always choose something no-one would want to eat! I mean they the maid of honours look ok but there's nicer tarts out there!

BuckingFrolics · 17/09/2019 20:33

Am here. Just ... yawn. What is it that's wrong this season? Very basic and repetitive feedback? Dull participants?

FuzzyPuffling · 17/09/2019 20:34

I did think earlier that they ought to be wearing those fetching blue plastic hats. All those bakes must have random hairs distributed through them.

FuzzyPuffling · 17/09/2019 20:36

Welsh Michelle ought to have known a Tudor Rose as wasn't the original Henry Tudor Welsh? Or am I just making up shizz? (Because I am a bit bored)

EntirelyAnonymised · 17/09/2019 20:36

Spooky pastry is going to be rotten

jay55 · 17/09/2019 20:36

It's too mean. There is no joy.

EntirelyAnonymised · 17/09/2019 20:38

It’s not cosy, is it, jay?

Wolfcub · 17/09/2019 20:38

Evening all. Bit late to the party today

LemonRedwood · 17/09/2019 20:38

You're right Fuzzy. Henry Tudor's ancestors were from Anglesey and he was born in Pembrokeshire.

FuzzyPuffling · 17/09/2019 20:38

Oh bucking glad it's not just me.

southeastdweller · 17/09/2019 20:38

The adorable Michael is really going to have do an amazing job to avoid being out. I'm surprised he's done so badly so far with these two challenges as he was one of the stronger contestants up to tonight

NigesFakeWalkingStick · 17/09/2019 20:38

It's all a bit meh this season isn't it.

FuzzyPuffling · 17/09/2019 20:39

Thanks lemon. :)

ageingdisgracefully · 17/09/2019 20:40

David is sooooo smug. I think Michael will go this week.

Spooky's pastry was terrible. Wtf happened there?

BuckingFrolics · 17/09/2019 20:41

And the judges don't seem to be taking it seriously

EntirelyAnonymised · 17/09/2019 20:43

Ageing, spooky forgot to put water in her pastry mix

LemonRedwood · 17/09/2019 20:43

I wonder what halloweenified Indian sweets will look like?

jay55 · 17/09/2019 20:43

Paul was positively gleeful that most of them were doing badly.

BuckingFrolics · 17/09/2019 20:44

And we said last week it's all about the glitzy look rather than the bake itself. Heaven knows how sweets meet the baking criteria.

Wolfcub · 17/09/2019 20:46

I have to agree this isn’t baking

LemonRedwood · 17/09/2019 20:47

it's all about the glitzy look

They do seem to prioritise the look. The comments about the "best" tarts were about those that had a rose on top. None of the pictures on google have a rose, Tudor or otherwise, on top, so I don't know why they made that a criteria to meet. Stencilling is not baking and the technical should be completely about baking skill, not how well you can dust with icing sugar. Minor point but it's really rankled with me.
