GBBO 2020 thread 3 - No fancy titles - in a rush!

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Here's a thread if anyone else has made one let me know and I'll get this cancelled!

Dave.

That's lovely.

No Prue or Paul (or Noel).

Prue and Paul have already been on.

Noel is probably too expensive.

I found the proposal a bit embarrassing! Then Jo cut to a break straight after.

I found the proposal a bit embarrassing! Then Jo cut to a break straight after.

I'm sure the timing was deliberate and not decided by Jo on a whim. It was probably better that way we didn't need to see everyone congratulating them and all that. Then they could go off and do their own thing.

Yes that's true!

Well, I thought it was lovely and have just burst into tears again
And yes, I normally find it cringe and awkward as it puts the partner on the spot but she's just had his baby - the most gorgeous baby - and she looked radiant so fair play, Dave done good.

@CaptainMyCaptain

Noel is probably too expensive.

Noel is on paternity leave, and is also being replaced by Tom Allen for the Christmas special

More Tom Allen? Hopefully he's earned enough £££s this year to take a lengthy sabbatical, a relief to most of us.

Noel is on paternity leave, and is also being replaced by Tom Allen for the Christmas special smile Fair enough!

I like Noel but can't imagine him doing his normal 'weirdness' on Extra Slice anyway. I also like Tom Allen so look forward to seeing him on the Christmas Special.

I thought the proposal was lovely if highly awkward. Often public proposals are men trying to make the woman’s occasion all about them, proposing at her graduation etc. But this was the complete opposite as Dave made his moment all about her. I would have hated it though!

Ref . proposal; Ohhhh sweet! She looked really happy, Dave on bended knee, with ring and everything!!

TA ruined ES for me last night and I had almost begun to like him. He was cold and unpleasant, he made Rowan blush. The panel were all nice too.

Oh if Emma Bunton lives on cakes I'm a monkey's

Aww just seen the proposal, he seemed so nervous. It was really sweet.
(I watched just the proposal clip so missed TA )

I felt a bit awkward about the proposal when it was happening - like it was stealing the thunder from Peter, who as the winner was meant to be the 'star of the show'. And interestingly all the comments above are about the proposal, not Peter .....

Hadn’t thought about that re Peter! It wasn’t mentioned during his segment though was it?
I love TA! He certainly divides opinions.

Hmmm true about Peter but he got a lot of airtime. Dave must have told C4 what he was going to do, they could have vetoed it I suppose.

Hey they missed a trick there, a Bake Off Wedding Cake!!!!!

In one of the first series I think the showstopper was a wedding cake. I think someone called Frances won

They can do another one can't they? The hunt for an unknown recipe is daft IMO. The Horn of Plenty was bonkers, I'd never heard or seen one, it seemed a ridiculous thing.

Am very anti public proposals. A friend only said yes because the proposal was a big occasion with lots of friends and family looking on.

Well a baby is a bit of a clue that they're in it for the long term! pinfloy. Or should be (but I'm old fashioned that way).

Frances won series 4 and yes the showstopper in the final was a wedding cake.
