I couldn't see an existing thread on this, apologies if there is and I missed it.

Anyway, as it says in the thread title. New series starts tonight.

Yay!

Sandro is the guy who brings up a joke from six months ago and laughs himself silly while everyone looks on disturbed.

ArcaneWireless · 25/10/2022 21:09

No one should be going from custard.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 25/10/2022 21:09

Very saleable was a bitchy dig, he looked unhappy and why does he keep talking about star baker

PrincessScarlett · 25/10/2022 21:10

To go on custard week would really grate, particularly as Januzs is a fantastic BAKER! I don't know who else has done as badly though 🤷🏻‍♀️

ArcaneWireless · 25/10/2022 21:10

I reckon Sandro thinks he is going to be the next Nadiya.

Nope. You ain’t.

Piggywaspushed · 25/10/2022 21:11

If Janusz goes I am throwing soup at Hollywood's front door like those oil people

MrsMitford3 · 25/10/2022 21:12

Will be gutted if janusez goes-

Also not loving Sandro- but that's ok because he loves himself enough to make up for the deficit.

What have I missed? I thought it might be a kind thing?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 25/10/2022 21:12

Stupid editing

ArcaneWireless · 25/10/2022 21:13

‘Sandro’s always ambitious’ Prue?

yeah he is.

offs. My favourite goes on feckin custard.

Ive had enough of Bake Off. And Sandro.

jay55 · 25/10/2022 21:13

@OneFrenchEgg Sandro had a baking business and did cakes for celebs.

Not happy at Kevin going, he did a set custard and not a custard as buttercream

MrsMitford3 · 25/10/2022 21:13

PrincessScarlett · 25/10/2022 21:04

Prue making reference to Sandro's cake being "saleable"!

Second week in a row there have been little comments like that-wonder if it's snark or coincidence...
it just seems to only be toward Sandro

😂

PrincessScarlett · 25/10/2022 21:14

Sandro won't care if he doesn't win, he'll open up his celebrity cake business again and use Bake Off status to enhance it.

ArcaneWireless · 25/10/2022 21:15

Also not loving Sandro- but that's ok because he loves himself enough to make up for the deficit.

I lick the bowl of your comment mrsmitford

I’m officially raging.

Abdul has done a smart move, nothing to compete with the custard.

I didn't think much to his showstopper

Mille feuille isn't especially difficult

MrsMitford3 · 25/10/2022 21:16

Groovester · 25/10/2022 21:14

😂

@Piggywaspushed I will join you.

Seems to be so far from what it started as as a competition

Maggiethecat · 25/10/2022 21:16

That shoulder pat by Paul tells you all - they’re never going to give it to Sandro - he had a good show stopper and won technical.

you can’t be seen to want it so badly.

PrincessScarlett · 25/10/2022 21:17

Unfortunately I think Kevin had to be sacrificed in custard week. Even
though Januzs was worse this week everyone knows he's the superior baker overall. Bloody stupid though as judges said Kevin's custard was perfect.

ArcaneWireless · 25/10/2022 21:19

I understand the sacrifice princess but it shouldn’t be that way. It isn’t right.

PrincessScarlett · 25/10/2022 21:19

I've never seen a contestant before going on so much every week about wanting to be star baker. It's almost like he's being deliberately set up to fail 🤷🏻‍♀️

MrsMitford3 · 25/10/2022 21:20

ArcaneWireless · 25/10/2022 21:15

thank you @ArcaneWireless <takes a bow>

What Sandro doesn't see is how much ppl fall in love with the contestants because of personalty and effort-not just cakes.

I feel like with him it is a stepping stone to "after"

No it isn't right, I agree.

That’s always the issue with Strictly - how much a win is based on talent vs personality.

With GBB you’d hope that personality is less of a factor than skill but am sure that rubbing the judges the wrong way won’t earn any favour.

PinkyandtheBrainBrainBrainBrainBrain · 25/10/2022 21:40

I don’t mind Sandro so much.

Syabira though. Smug, boring and annoying.
