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.

But is it a baking contest or a personality contest?

I think she DOES have a personality. She has a dry humour that I really like.

But is it a baking contest or personality contest? Exactly Captain

I’m not suggesting they choose the winner on personality.

I think one of the problems this year is that the contestants have been chosen on the basis of personality rather than baking. That young lad who left in the second episode, should have been the first, being a prime example.

I am afraid I still can’t warm to Steph. You win heaps of Star Baker nods and still don’t believe in yourself? C’mon now.

You don’t get in there in the first place if you can barely slice toast.

I can’t buy the poor wee unskilled me panic thing.

She clearly can bake. I’d like her more if she just went ‘whew! That went well’ Nobody likes a blaw right enough but for me, false modesty and pretend angst grips my pavlovas.

I’d love to see Rosie or David win now.

It was funny when Noel asked Rosie if she liked dealing with rabbits in her vet practice and she said no because 'they just want to die'

pretty sharp!

Yes, I've liked her since that

Yes, Rosie seems to have a dark, dry humour.

I think she'd get on well with Tom Allen. She also seems to be a bit set apart from the others. Not so instagrammy.

I thought Henry was great on Extra Slice -- and his explanation of what went wrong with his vertical pie stack made a lot of sense.

Like both Noel and Sandi but wish the producers would stop making them do the silly scripted exchanges because it should be painfully obvious by now that they just don't work.

And we absolutely need a greater diversity of bakers next year - the range of backgrounds was always one of the strengths of GBBO and it was really missing this year.

Just watching the latest episode now when he said what you have done is stsck one pie on top of another I was there thinking didn't everyone?

I thought that was what PH actually advised them to do (he's got short term memory loss, it's all that cake!).

I still think Rosie's a dark horse.but we will see tonight in the semi-final won't we.
Would like her to get to the final - Rosie has really grown on me over the past 2 weeks.
I think she's got the most interesting personality out of the 4 who are left, and she isn't quite as earnest as the rest of them somehow.

‘Mon Rosie.

Liked you from the get go. (You and the tattooed dude)

I think you and David are the only real ones left.

Aw she’s wearing a tie for Henry!

Checking in!

Would love Rosie to make the final and win, I love her

Aw ties ! I had a little moment !

I like Rosie and Alice a lot. Steph would be more likeable if she stopped the cutesy act.

I’m excited about these tarts!,

I’ve got a cup of tea and I’ve allowed myself a biscuit because I always get so hungry watching it! (Why am I always dieting when it’s bake off)

Rosie’s ones look amazing!

Oh no Okay you've made me think about those chocolate hobnobs in the kitchen.....
