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.

Steph is annoying me so much!

Priya's knob bombe didn't triumph then?

Well that was a surprise thought she pulled it back in the showstopper. And others could have gone.

About time. Right decision.

Why didn’t Alice get star baker? Shouldn’t have been Steph again.

They are frying again next week.

Come on Prue, wasn't it a baking competition.

I'm not buying the faux modesty either.

Where is Priya's lovely green dress from??

right done for another week ...

I really like Steph! I’m glad Priya has gone - she was overdue to leave, honestly. Agree her dress is lovely though!

I thought Priya's bombe looked good, didn't look like penises to me. It was right that she went though. I thought Henry's bombe was going to look a complete mess, I wouldn't fancy eating it after seeing him handle all the layers and I think it would taste of cardboard.

Steff will win the series.

I think Alice should have got it. But steph's bombe did look amazing.

Alice’s signature bake wasn’t great, so that probably tipped the balance in Steff’s favour.

Henry annoys me 😬

I wanted to eat both Steph & Alice's bombes! 🤩

It’s been 15 years since I’ve seen one @CaptainMyCaptain

And I didn’t have specs on, so I might have been mistaken.

Still didn’t look elegant to me though!

I think Steph is going to win too. She seems to really be pulling clear.

She does seem a good baker but I’m afraid I can’t warm to her at all. I’m not sure why. Same with Alice.

I like Rosie. But I don’t think she will win sadly. They don’t seem to give her much air time and she didn’t even get to say she was relieved to stay...

This year is the first time I’m finding it hard to care about the eventual winner. It looks as though that has been decided already.

The programme makers are weirdly creeping to Steph. I knew she was going to get star baker because they mentioned ‘will she be the first to get star baker three times in a row’ so many times throughout last nights show.

Yes and what was the weird creeping up when Noel and the bloke were discussing it? Henry?

I enjoyed this weeks episode after a couple of weeks of being meh.

Agreed that Rosie seems to be on the sidelines. I suspect she's a bit older (maybe?) than the young crew and finds it hard to gel. Or maybe no one can understand her

I can't warm to Alice at all. My true love is Henry though

I love a chocolate/coffee combo like Steph's bombe, she deserved a Handshake it was weird why didn't PH give one? I'm glad she got star bake again.

A number of the others did too many flavours in theirs, "less is more" Is the way to go with tastes IMO.

It was David. That made me laugh, he was so unconvincing with his “Go Steff”.

Was Henry wearing one of Helena's brooches on his apron?

@polarisation I thought it was a Christmas tree decoration!
