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.

Oh Steph. I think it's safe to say she's lost the technical. Risen being the operative word there.

NigesFakeWalkingStick · 29/10/2019 20:32

I'd happily see Steph or David win, just not a fan of Alice

LemonRedwood · 29/10/2019 20:33

Not that who wins the technical matters one jot in this series

highheelsandwitcheshats · 29/10/2019 20:33

Come on David!!

ThursdayLastWeek · 29/10/2019 20:33

One thing I’ve learned this series is that the technical appears to have zero bearing on the result.

ThursdayLastWeek · 29/10/2019 20:33

Oh cross post Lemon!

Quite

Nadiya had similar issues and said at times all the publicity and attention after was sometimes a little bit too much.

So why does she keep shoving her face in at every opportunity? Confused

Wolfcub · 29/10/2019 20:38

Why the hell would they tell her that before she bakes

Lunde · 29/10/2019 20:38

Good grief . everyone is cracking up

apart from David

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 29/10/2019 20:38

Bad management? (Sorry)

Lessthanzero · 29/10/2019 20:39

If Steph wins now its definitely a fix.

I don't actually think any of them deserve to win. I don't know whether it's because the challenges have been so stupid or because the bakers just aren't as good as normal, but no one had really stood out as amazing.

FuzzyPuffling · 29/10/2019 20:39

Huh Alice? Nobody died.

highheelsandwitcheshats · 29/10/2019 20:39

Why would they fly back on final day?!

jay55 · 29/10/2019 20:40

Wasn't this a week one challenge in Liam's year, the older lady did the amazing watermelon.

highheelsandwitcheshats · 29/10/2019 20:40

Bad management? (Sorry)

Perfect.

highheelsandwitcheshats · 29/10/2019 20:41

@jay55 The first thing I thought of was the watermelon too!

Graphista · 29/10/2019 20:42

So why does she keep shoving her face in at every opportunity? 

Wow! That's a bit harsh!

Just because doing something, particularly a career choice, occasionally affects your health you shouldn't do it?!

Fairly sure everyone who works and has an illness or disability which at times makes it difficult for them to enjoy working fully will find that offensive.

Wolfcub · 29/10/2019 20:42

Oh great upset her again jeez

CaptainMyCaptain · 29/10/2019 20:43

Grow up Alice! David is by far the best baker today, of course, that means nothing.

littlbrowndog · 29/10/2019 20:43

Fgs. What a stupid challenge

I don’t want to be tricked with cake

derxa · 29/10/2019 20:44

Sandi can't help her accent and I know from Desert Island Discs why she has said accent. But she narrates in such a pompous way and she knows fuck all about baking.

Squigean · 29/10/2019 20:44

Okay then.

She cries easy.

Nighttimefreedom · 29/10/2019 20:44

Why did the parents tell her they might not make it?

CaptainMyCaptain · 29/10/2019 20:45

I agree, it's pointlessly complicated.
