Bake off 2024 ... when will there be buns in the oven?

[Hobnobswantshernameback]

Any news yet on when the new series is due to start?
can we expect the same presenting/ judging line up as last year?
Do we think the Hollywood handshake will return?
And please god no tacky theme weeks

i just find saying someone's voice is "fucking awful" is pretty unpleasant.
Just my opinion
others have expressed theirs
I just think it's a shame on a thread that's meant to be lighthearted to be so mean about a young woman
like I said just my opinion and thought I'd share it like others have shared their opinion

They keep pointing out that the Parkin needs baking powder, which Gill forgot, and she's made a big deal about putting in the bicarbonate of soda this time, which is baking soda - can do a similar job with the right ingredients, but I hope she intends that...

She has a terrible vocal fry.

He looks like he’s bathed in gravy browning.

Sumayahs wonderful

Christiaaaan's looks amazing.
They all look great to be honest.

It's so fucking annoying.

Well done Sumayah!

These are all amazing so far

I guess she's staying then - I'm not that keen on her either.

But they are all amazing showstoppers so far!

It has the same effect on me but I wonder if it's because it seems put on rather than natural. There's the touch of vocal fry, but also the upward inflection at the end of phrases and she drops final 'g's. Last week I was praying she'd get kicked off so I wouldn't have to hear her voice again!

I love Nelly, just love her.

Green sponge isn't appetising at all.

Sumayah just seems to be putting on a slightly naive baby voice/persona at times, and that always drives me mad in someone otherwise very competent

Wonder if they have ever decided not to send someone home!?

I like Nelly too and I hope that she doesn't leave

Based on showstopper alone Dylan should go. But wonder if he's been cherry picked for the final?

Dylan is giving strong Ruby Tandoh self-pity vibes.

Really difficult decision on who to send home this week. Illiyin for star baker?

I sadly think Nelly will go - or there would only be one male left.
Not that that's got anything whatsoever to do with it at all...

He's been doing it the last 3 weeks and it's bloody annoying.

Yeah he will be in the final as will Sumayah.

I really don't want Nelly to go 🙁

I’m backing Illiyin for Star Baker.

I love both Nelly and Dylan. Can we have a week where nobody leaves please?
