Absolutely not.

I think there's a picture of Iain next to 'Hipster' in the dictionary. Don't think he'll last long though.

P.S. glad to know I'm not alone in watching the weekly soggy bottoms

I think I'd like to ganache Kate's buns.

Sport cooking innit.

That Jordan looks more like a grave digger than a baker.

My lad is loving it, anything that's competitive he likes. I think he enjoys the crushing disappointment when someone loses.

I was surprised Enwezor wasn't an 'eligible bachelor', if you know what I mean.

Same. When they went to his family home, and he had kids I was like waaaaa

Biscuits on Wednesday guys.

I have a feeling big, wonderfully bearded Iain will be good at biscuits.

She did, and not a single fuck was given. (but it was only for 40 seconds)

He was a massive Mumford And Sons personality free nobody anyway so all's good.

Looking forward to "An Extra Slice" on Friday to see their take on this

Without trying to get all soap opera about it, Sue was very defensive about it on Twitter last night. I think she sort of admitted it was a shit trick by the editors with her final tweet on the matter when she snapped "well moan about it to the editors then".

I'm on first name terms with Mel, I'll have a word with her about it next time I see her.

I thought the reaction on twitter was hilarious and mostly tongue in cheek. The outrage would seem to stem from it looking like she didn't give a fuck. I am not sure she really did in the moment, to be fair she was right as well.
I mean if he put it in the wrong freezer, its down to him, they are all focused on doing their own stuff under the same pressure, and have enough to worry about, without having to worry about other peoples bits and bobs.

So yeah, it wasn't his fault it was taken out the fridge, but he put it in the wrong freezer and threw a hissy fit, he might have stayed in if he had presented what he had.

And I thought nothing could top the controversy of last year when that woman stole Howard's custard...

The editing was shit, as it made it seem like was more than 40 seconds it was out.

Also, Norman survives again. Champion!

"Mine looks great"

"Tastes amazing"

"This is fantastic"

His confidence is amazing.

Every week he seems so sure that this is the week they'll be blown away.

I deffo would have lashed mine in the bin and stormed off too. Can't blame him, I wouldn't be able to take the pressure either. Or Mel and Sues puns...

She has now quit, I thought this was all pre recorded, so it must be for something other than the controversy?

RobinHood · « **Reply #31 on:** August 29, 2014, 01:16:57 pm »

Really is a strange show. I've never baked anything and am crap at cooking in general but I really like GBBO. Can't stop watching it, like I'm in a trance.

Glad the hipster is gone though, would have been criminal if Norman was booted out.

choi · « **Reply #32 on:** August 29, 2014, 06:43:29 pm »

So it's only recorded like a few days in advance then? I always assumed the whole series was filmed before airing.

The last episode was filmed the end of May beginning of June time.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #34 on:** September 8, 2014, 12:00:41 pm »

Finally caught up with GBBO and Hell folks!. No reaction to Norman going? Normans over confidence in his shite baking was funny as fuck. The look of dismay on his face following Paul and Mary's criticism of his meringue pie on top of his pie tower. The fucking thing just fell apart and slopped all over the plate when Paul took a slice of it......Comedy Gold!

Norman to GBBO is what Wagner was to the X-factor.

Been avoiding this thread because of spoilers but those Diana pictures are funny as fuck

Wouldn't bet against big Louis taking this down now.

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #35 on:** September 8, 2014, 12:07:04 pm »

I was gutted Norman went.

His no-nonsense approach was endearing to me. He just made nice food, sod the pretence. Was never going to win.

Lavender meringue though, fuck that right off.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #36 on:** September 8, 2014, 01:12:55 pm »

Dear god some of them pies last week looked mighty good.

I was slobbering at the TV over Kate's offerings.

Her pies weren't bad either

choi · « **Reply #37 on:** September 8, 2014, 04:20:39 pm »

Haha Kate is such a milf.

Laughed so much when it was showing the other contestants taking their time cutting the edge of the cases to perfection, then it turns to Norman who was just hacking at it a few times!

His decoration for the custard tart was good too. Just smother it in icing sugar, look it up and down and say "aye, looks fantatstic".

Crazy Diamond · « **Reply #39 on:** September 8, 2014, 05:41:33 pm »

Norman was a legend. Every week he thought he would wow the judges with exotic delicacies such as a bit of pesto, but sadly it wasn't to be.

Think I'll root for Spanish Luis now.
