Mel and Sue chose to leave - but it doesn't mean that their replacements aren't really ,really terrible!! I just watched German week and was cringing the whole time at them.
Giuseppe as star baker was right, though I felt they did keep piling on the pressure on poor Jurgen at bit, and his was more like what real German yeast cakes might have been like. I too thought it was funny when he compared it to stacking apple crumbles!
Quite glad Freya left in the end, as I don't think her bakes really stood up to the others, and she didn't seem to learn from the criticism very well, just insisted it's how she wanted it. I do find Lizzie's a bit messy and over-bright, but that's just my taste. I thought George was more likely to go than Freya though, with his raw dough.
But overall, this week was one of the most impressive, with practically everyone doing well in at least some of the rounds, no stand out disasters!! All of their biscuits were pretty amazing, and the technical cakes were decent too.
