Woooo my favourite

Ahh well done Sal

*clay

Nobody got out unscathed with those sets this week did they?
Henry’s dodged a bullet though I think

I agree with Shenyue going. Her decoration was awful I thought.

Thats a shame but I’m not surprised

Henry is lucky to stay but i think that was the right decision this week. A really tough one! I bet they are glad to see the back of terracotta!

Henry should have gone!!! Really shocked he stayed...

Henry's design was at least well executed. Shenyue's looked a mess.

Right one won, right one left.

Looking forward to next week.

I thought Alon's was lovely. I would have bought that if I'd seen it in a shop, and if it had all been in one piece.

Ive really liked Shenyue's work up till now, I was surprised by how bad her decoration was this week.

Henry and Shenyue both had major blowouts, but Henry had a far better design. I liked Shenyue but her 'design' was just daubs, really.
Sal was head and shoulders above the rest, her set looked fabulous.

How Henry survived that will be a mystery discussed to the ends of time. I wasn’t enamoured of him before but having seen those self inflicted scribbles on his legs I am even less inclined to support him, though oddly I feel a bit sorry for him because I think he has some issues. I don’t think he has many very creative ideas which Shenyue did so I am sorry to see her go.

I was expecting Henry to go. Think his decoration saved him. Sal to win I think.

I think the other issue for Shenyue was that she wasn't listening re the drying instructions. I agree her decoration was poor

Tbf even the ones who stuck to the drying room advice had blowouts.

Henry did really badly in the tile task, so he did badly in both, that’s why o thought he should go plus Shenyue has been consistently good in other episodes, much better than Henry.

Terracotta is very difficult to work with, it happens unfortunately sometimes, despite how careful you are.

It's all done on the current week only though so previous performance doesn't count.

Yes, I realise that. It’s just my personal opinion. Both of Henry’s tasks were pants.

Why was Sheyue making out like going to the drying room was a trek? That seemed odd.

Yes, that was quite strange. It was about 20 paces away!

We love Henry but very much expected him to go this week. But at least he had a design. shenue's looked like a toddler did it, it was awful. I am sad she's gone though as I adored her raku (sp).

I don't think lovely Henry is long for this world though and the older guy who's name escapes me.

Jodie and Sal seem likely finalists to me. Do they have 3? If so I'd say between Adam and Alon.

They saved Sal on her disaster weeks maybe they think he had more to give? But he can’t have that much longer. As for those tattoos the mind boggles, literally biro on the leg job. It’s not even like have any artistic talent to show they off. Though maybe it’s a macho pain thing?

The tile thing was hard as a surprise and unfair on the younger ones who haven't done anything. I’d struggle to find stuff to fit on mine.

To be fair, four of the example tiles were taken up with things representing his parents’ nationalities and one was a mug, so they really didn’t have to dig that deep to find stuff to put on their own.
