Lovely crispy roast potatoes, why put sauce on it?

I want her and Jay to be old flames, just for the intrigue and Jilly Cooperish-ness of it all.

Just out of interest I googled Jay and Xanthe scandal - this was all I got…

“Older, unrelated archive snippets from 2008 suggest they may have contributed to similar food-related topics, such as a feature on a goat or cooking, but do not outline a scandal.” 😂

This happens every time - people start jinxing contestants by liking them - stop it! (Unless it’s a reverse psychology thingy on someone we don’t like of course)

Xanthe has OPINIONS!!!

She's like Sue Cook.

littlbrowndog · 27/02/2026 20:20

Them tatties look awesome

Sunbird24 · 27/02/2026 20:21

More jamon! I’m happy

EsmaCannonball · 27/02/2026 20:21

Georgia's food is very crowdpleasing. Nice portions, too. Those potatoes look amazing.

Feature on a goat? What did they do, paint them on the side?

Ngl Xanthe is yapping a bit much for me

EsmaCannonball · 27/02/2026 20:20

Do you think they are letting Xanthe speak a lot in order to establish her?

Yeah definitely.

Sunbird24 · 27/02/2026 20:23

Well, the goat is intriguing.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 27/02/2026 20:23

I hate this one solely for the twee Gscake. Its like women called fiona still being fifi in their 40s.

LaMarschallin · 27/02/2026 20:23

Bye bye, Ben

RomainingCalm · 27/02/2026 20:24

I agree @littlbrowndog- I could almost convince myself it was a main course and one of my five a day!

Georgia’s through.

littlbrowndog · 27/02/2026 20:24

LaMarschallin · 27/02/2026 20:23

Bye bye, Ben

Yeah

PotterHead1985 · 27/02/2026 20:24

LaMarschallin · 27/02/2026 20:23

Bye bye, Ben

Which is a feckin shame

Cookingdoesntgettougher · 27/02/2026 20:24

Raw lamb is going

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 27/02/2026 20:25

Poor Ben.

PotterHead1985 · 27/02/2026 20:25

EsmaCannonball · 27/02/2026 20:25

Ben's face just then! Looked like a nineteenth century German painting entitled 'Melancholy.'
