Great British Bake Off starts Tuesday 13th September

[5foot5]

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!

Wow he is being super harsh

Bloody hell, what is the matter with Paul tonight?! He's being vile.

Harsh

I actually just started to type the same.

There is judging and there is being nasty show off twat

he is def the latter

Dry dry dry.

busz word

Surely not 3rd week in a row for Syabira?

I would really like Paul to have to compete with the bakers. I just feel he wouldn’t do too well.

No-one has excelled overall so yes, I'm guessing Syabira.

Maxi to go? She seemed to fall apart after her shaky start,

So very much a twat.

Aw maxi

Oh Maxy no no no!

I though Janusz would go

Not a great week this

not enough time for these bakes

Oh nooooo Maxy. So wrong.

ooooh I don't think Prue likes sandro maybe she is a mumsnetter

Telling Sandro he is a lucky boy....

Overall I think Maxy is better than Abdul but it was a tough week this week.

this 100%

I think Sandro stole the spring roll as that's what saved him! Janeuz would have won the technical otherwise and I think if he had, Sandro was out.

But given he won one out of three they couldn't quite justify sending him home over Maxi (who I had down as the winner).

Paul was being mean before they even baked, I hated his green shirt and Matt's pyjama top

Upsetting that Maxy went.

Had to watch on catch up as gymnastics worlds was on (omg Whoop GB silver).

Sad that it's Maxxy going but she had a shocker.
I suppose Sandro saved himself winning the technical. But his other two bakes were shit.

I can't believe all the vol au vents were so shit. I could just imagine Mary turning her nose up and then explaining exactly how to make them.

However I thoroughly approved of all three challenges this week.

Still would love a return of the hand raised pie.

I also thought that Paul was pretty savage in his comments tonight and in the evaluation (for want of a better word) Prue said the showstoppers were all quite disappointing. Both me and DD were like "well duh it's because the task wasn't really possible in the time allowed"

We were disappointed that Maxy went, but I think the writing was on the wall from the start. Her spring rolls looked really good though.

I agree.
The drawings are amazing.

I'd love to sit in on the drawings briefing. 'So... you say it's going to be a three tier cake, different sponges and fillings, and there will be a working crane on the top which will lift a jug of matcha custard... and then pour it over the top? OK. And the crane is being driven by a tiny marzipan dog? A fondant Lakeland terrier. Right-o.'

And then the baker throwing a hissy fit! That's a PATTERDALE terrier you've drawn on there! YOU JUST DON'T LISTEN!" and storming off.
