@longtompot, sorry to go slightly off topic, but just wanted to reply to your post (and couldn't seem to quote it!).
Have you heard of Becky Excell? Amazing GF blogger and author, (she's had 2 cookbooks published this year). Simple GF recipes and bakes that actually work. She also has a website (glutenfreecuppatea). No I'm not her, but her recipes really are brilliant, so I tell anyone that might not of heard of her! It's a shame none of the bakers used any of her recipes.
She also has notes in her recipe books for every recipe on how to adapt it to be dairy free, vegetarian (for some of her savoury recipes) etc.
Sorry to all for going off topic. I just know how difficult it can be to cook/bake GF.
Anyway, back to the topic in hand. I was disappointed that Lizzie went but not surprised. Before the show stopped they were saying it was between Lizzie and Crystelle, and both seemed to do equally well (according to the judges). Therefore I guess they had to look at other things, even though they don't normally, to make a decision, and Crystelle has been more consistent than Lizzie throughout the weeks.
What I really liked is that it was only yesterday we found out about Lizze's SENs - they hadn't talked about it before, or used it in any way to try and elicit sympathy for Lizzie. I actually didn't warm to her at all the first couple of episodes, but she really grew on me after that, and I was sad to see her go.
