Bake Off 2019 - Thread 2

[TragicallyUnbeyachted]

Old thread

Ten points to DarlingNikita who spotted my deliberate mistake - I meant, of course, "cutting the judges' comments to make it LOOK as though they are sending home the wrong people." Ahem.

Think the pressure really is getting to Steph, she's not happy this week.

Those morrocan pies look gross. At least they’re not making me want cake.,

Steff's a bit humourless isn't she?

She is humourless. Whenever Noel or anyone speaks to her she isn't looking at them or laughing or whatever

God yes, she really looks like she wants to twat Noel with a skillet every time he comes round (I'd probably be the same tho!)

How on earth did Rosie come second with the pie, it looked like road kill

Yes Rosie’s pie fell apart but she’s, second?

How can anyone not like pie?

I couldn't trust someone who doesn't like pie 😂

I'm pleased for David!

Yes! About time !

Why does Paul do that standing staring intimidating thing?

Could murder a camembert dragon..

David's not being pie or particularly vertical is worrying.

Oh not Hendry !

Whaaat! That's ridiculous

No :( :( !

I thought Rosie was a gonner.

Sad to lose Henry, he's so jolly.

Anyone else think Steph looks about six?

I've given up on this series
Rosie should have gone🙄

That's what DH and I said 'No not Henry!

Agree Rosie should have gone. I think she thought that herself.

I didn't want either to go.

David's not-a-pie let him down. He should've just made a bloody pie!

Rosie should have gone last week and is clearly the least consistent where Henry has almost always been praised for his stuff. Not going to bother with the last two episodes, it's bound to be steff to win anyway as they seem to have a down on David. Harrumph!

Isn't it judged on how someone has performed on the weekend/day vs the entirety of the competition?

As much as I loved Henry (and I do, in ways I shouldn't) I can't dispute that it was probably the right decision. His signature was better than Rosie's but she came higher in technical and whilst her pie wasn't great, it was more ornate and better received than Henry's.

If you were looking at the competition as a whole Henry should have stayed - but as far as I'm aware it's always been based on the performance of the weekend, bar a couple of special circumstances when it was genuinely too tight to call.

I love Rosie too, so I'm not bothered. I'm not really that invested in it now Henry is gone and Rosie isn't likely to win, as I find Steph one dimensional, Alice a complete smugtron and I can't warm to David

Henry’s showstopper was definitely the weakest.
