Even so - these three are supposed to be these great bakers. I expected a little more of a challenge for them.
get thee to the library before the c*nts close it down
we are a bunch of twats commenting on a website.
They're supposed to be some of the best of Britain's amateur bakers though. Not great bakers who already work doing the bakes for posh restaurants. It all looked pretty difficult to me, and I'm from a family of keen bakers. The way they have to go through all the different aspects of it means you need really well-rounded technique to get through to the final. I'd be boss in bread week, for example, but utterly shite at patisserie. The Mrs. would ace cake week but struggle with pies.
I'm guess I'm just being harsh. There's no way I'd be even to make half the stuff.
Glad Nancy won, Richard looked too smug on several occasions when he won star baker.
IT'S TURNING LEFT!
Anyhow, I'm off to pre-order Norman's biography.
Crosby Nick never fails.
Been avoiding this thread as i had the final on 'tape' and watched it last night. Good series.Got to disagree there. Richard came across as a really humble down to earth lad. Gutted he didn't win it.Can't disagree that Nancy wasn't the best in the final though and probably deserved the title. Luis and Richard just bottled it on the day. Luis must have ran her close with his Show-stopper though. I think Luis stuff looked great but just didn't taste too brilliant. Style over substance so to speak.I think the after show garden party program is on Beeb 1 this week. We might get footage of big Iain from Ireland kicking fuck out of the Baked Alaska ruiner Diana round the back of one of the tents.Anyhow, I'm off to pre-order Norman's biography.
Ah but on the whole, she was better, not just on the day itself. He was close to going one week (think it might have been the week no one went because the Alaska wrecker went out ill week before) so in spite of his star baker weeks, he was lucky to still be in it at all. I don't think she was ever in the bottom two, so overall it was deserved.
All 6 or 7 of them.
Mouth. Lets fight it out mate its the only way to resolve bakery based disputes.Coat ourselves in eggs and flour and wrestle to the death outside a branch of Greggs.Name the time and place I'll be there
ive lost some love for this show,it used to be me and bbc2 back in the day,,,,,,,,,,kids in bed,mrs out in work or college.now its me,kids the mrs and about half of britain watching it on bbc1.i feel betrayed
Too mainstream now?You'll have to move over to Hela Sverige Bakar(All of Sweden Bake)Scandanavian cache, just like all those Nordic thrillers I love so much, more hipster friendly
Yep, baking was definitely cool when no one was interested in it. Now that baking is more widespread, its lost it luster. I hate cakes now.
I have never seen a show try and be more PC in regards to contestant selection in all my life. I reckon they could have filled that show with a dozen identical 80yr old white haired grannies from the Yorkshire dales and they would be better at baking than all of that lot they have got on this year.What about the fucking tattooed. nose pierced, skinny jeans, trilby hat wearing hipster who went out this week? How on earth did he get on there in the first place. Just to give the show some diversity they got some clueless gimp who didn't have the foggiest about baking.Bring Back Norman!!! He did have a clue about baking but was still shite.
i was thinking that last night ,uber pc trendy lot
who do you think shouldn't have been picked?
That Gateau
Flora resembles Tracy Barlow a little too much for my liking. You'd fear getting your head stoved in by a ceramic mixing bowl any time you offered her some constructive criticism.I'm terrible with names and in fact abilities and anything to do with this show although I do sit through it. From memory one of the early contenders is the young Bill Nighy? That cockney with the annoying voice is this years's 'surprise package' builder with the pencil behind his ear who did quite well
She's 19 you filthy sod.
Was glad Sandy went last week - something about her I didn't like - she had too much face, and it kinda looked like a miserable fish.Possibly Matt and Ugne are the weaker ones left, but I actually enjoy everyone left now - should see some real good bakes.
Its based on how they are doing each week, not overall. He did have problems last week.Overall comes into play when they are doing the final judge for the winner. If he is still in it at the end and keeps up with what he is doing, he will probably be nailed on for the title.
