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.

That's steff and Alice been in tears bless them, even though I'm not a fan of Alice especially I can understand that being a "last straw" type thing.

Will David be next to crack?

Why the hell would they tell her that before she bakes

Bad management? (Sorry)

Huh Alice? Nobody died.

Why would they fly back on final day?!

This reads almost exactly like the conversation DH and I just had 😂

I seem to be more cross than entertained with every episode this year.

Caramelised? David that's burned

Maybe to see how well she could manage her emotions!?!

Because there's only one flight out of Ireland a day. Obviously.

Otherwise they'd have been able to get bother if there was a flight, say, every hour or two there about.

That legendary watermelon cake

Poor Steph. I wanted her to win.

Steff has been unravelling for a few episodes now. I do hope she pulls it together and it's just the edit making things seem extreme.

Sorry Graphista but I find her incredibly fake - constantly talking about her 'crippling anxiety' while fronting tv shows and putting out books and generally never being out of the public eye.

Also, her winning Bake-off was a travesty and a massive robbing of whatshisname that came second!

I reckon David has it in the bag now

As steff just wanna give her a big hug!

Gawd they in Ireland not the outer reaches of Mongolia

No news. So they're on the plane and incommunicado.

No need for the additional drama GBBO. We're just here for the baking.

David has nerves of steel.

Good quality in a healthcare professional!

Alice has a clear winners edit now - with the parental drama, she'll win and her parents will be there. Sounds soap opera.

Macarons are buggers to do under pressure. Poor things

"Otherwise they'd have been able to get bother if there was a flight, say, every hour or two there about."

Would have made more sense if bother was another.

Oh imagine the shock when they make it!!!! It'll be a miracle!!!!!!

I don’t really want to be Davids friend but I’d be delighted if he was my doctor.

Gawd they in Ireland not the outer reaches of Mongolia

Fig roll sausage rolls look good if massive

Come on David 🤞

David deserves it.

As an ex nurse I can tell you not all hcps are calm nerves of steel types!

Certainly not when doing things outside of their profession. One of my hcp friends I trained with is lovely, fantastic at her job, extremely senior now but she is actually banned from cooking ANYTHING because she is plain dangerous! The last time she tried she had to get a whole new kitchen cos she basically blew the last one up!

I started the episode not too bothered who wins (though Alice I'm not keen on). Now I'm wanting David to do it, with s horrible feeling Alice will.
