Topic: The Great British Bake Off

[Buck Pete]

Looks like this is going to come down to a toss up between Paul and Ian in the end.

Paul being a prison governor will not be adverse to having his officers dish out beatings to opposing bakers, using prisoners as labourers for him to secure bakery supply contracts. Not to mention his use of innocent prisoners as accountants to help cook his recipe books. Then there's also the chance of him having people shot should they threaten to disrupt his baking operations.

Ian should be very wary of humiliating Paul in the Kitchen.

[Trada]

Ok I admit it I starting to get a bit of a thing for Flora.

Thats her cursed.

[Buck Pete]

Dear god some of those vol au vents this week looked bloody delicious.  Not the best program to watch when your on a diet.

So, Alvin has gone. Such a nice bloke too.

Ian not having it all his own way anymore and been nowhere near star baker for the last 2 weeks.  This is going all the way and it really will come down to the baking on the day rather than past achievements.

Flora is still with us

[Snail]

Paul's my favourite.

[Buck Pete]

booo..hisssss

[Snail]

Contestant Paul, I should add. Hollywood's a dickhead.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Hollywood's a dickhead.

He is obviously a massive whopper (both figuratively and literally) but I do still like him for some reason. The floury silver-haired ape that he is. Also it was because of someone buying me his book that I got into making my own flour tortillas which are my candidate for best 'thing you can make yourself that is loads better than what you get in the shops'

I love vollys. For me daughters 18th, I made the order with the caterers to have loads of volley's in the spread. Nowhere near as nice a those ones like, but no do, is a do, without volly's. Prawn, Mushroom and Ham ones. Spewed off loads of what me bird told me to get and made it into a 70@s do, Volley's, Cheese an Pineapple hedgehog, pork pies, the works. Non of that quiche and curry shite. Proper scran.




PS. Pete, ye big fat fucker ye. Ye must have arms like Geoff Capes.

Baked Alaska for pudding eh?

Arms like Geoff Capes and a cock like Fatima Whitbread me mate.

Victoria Sponge and Coffee and Walnut cake, to be honest Pete. Non of that gateaux shite or cup cake tower bollocks. She'll probably hate me, but at least people will eat stuff.

I won't of course, I'll either be at the bar, or in the car park trying to win the family butting contest.



Cock like Fatima's

[Crosby Nick]

And an arse the size of Myrtle Augee's.

[Buck Pete]

And then there were 5.

Good episode that and some of those raised Game Pies looked incredible.

I wonder if Flora is going to hold her face with a look of shock and worry and bite her lip all the way to the final.  Scottish bint is starting to annoy me now.

[Crosby Nick]

Where do you stand on Nadia, Pete? First time I've watched closesly this series and she seemed a bit smug and annoying.

[Buck Pete]

Personally id like to see Nadiya win this comp as some of her bakes look bloody delicious and shes quite a good laugh too.  Although I can't see past treble winning star baker and stay at home wife Ian lifting the title.  He's just too damn good.

Nadiya is alright mate but she gets a bit tearful and whiney from time to time.

Who wouldn't though?  Baking bread and pastries inside a marquee on a country house estate is tough business.  Our boys in Afghanistan should watch bake-off and thank their lucky stars they chose machine guns and hand grenades over spatula's and whisks.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

I don't think I'll ever eat a game pie, especially Ian's Roadkill special. Not my thing. His crown was quite impressive, but I'm glad Tamal got star baker, he seems like a nice bloke and he has been consistently pretty good.

Yeah I like him, seems a nice lad.

[Buck Pete]

Reckon Paul is one extra knob of butter, a soggy botton or an errant oven setting away from getting the boot.

Is she an Aardman Studios creation?

[Mr Mingebag Squid]

I think it'll be him and Flora next - then either Ian or Tamal to win.

[Buck Pete]

/snip

haha. Nice one Zilt. Looks like i'm not the only one who picked up on it

Yeah, gotta agree mate.

Ian is like Mario Balotelli when it comes to the signature and Technical challenges...he just cant be arsed.

For the showstopper he then morphs into the baking equivalent of Pele, Dalglish, Beckenbaur, Messi and Ronaldo.. all rolled into one!!

[JerseyKloppite]

Nadiya seems very genuine, not like some of the hammed up emotion you see on there. I like her, never goes too far into "I'm so awful, oh actually wait look I'm brilliant" territory.

Tamal is ace, very humble with a real flair (without being stupid about it or getting carried away). Think he might win.

I really don't like Ian, I mean there have been far worse people and he's not Apprentice-candidate-annoying, but there's something very smug about him. No self-deprecation whatsoever and genuinely thinks he's the dog's b*llocks.

Mat seemed nice but he was never going to win it. Flora does have a bit of the excessive "nerves" about her but I think she is smiley and happy enough for it to just wash over, and she's young so should be given slack.

Paul is ace, no nonsense. His bread lion was amazing. Can't see him winning though, don't think he's quite good enough. Suspect it will be Ian, though I hope not - fingers crossed for Tamal.

[Buck Pete]

Nadya to win. If you don't agree send me a DM and we can meet for a scrap.

Listen, we don't have bog standard fisticuffs in the Bake-off thread.

This is how me and Mouth resolved to end our last Bake-Off disagreement

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

Saying that,  us lot are just one step away from helping out down at the WI at weekends so maybe we should just have a knitting competition or something to resolve disputes.

Ooh. Bit of needle in this thread it seems.

[Chris~]

Tamal to win, Ian won't make the final.

[Buck Pete]

Purler of a joke

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Also it was because of someone buying me his book that I got into making my own flour tortillas which are my candidate for best 'thing you can make yourself that is loads better than what you get in the shops'

He's a massive Red!

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

I think Tamal is peaking at the right time - he has been consistently decent, then he seemed to step up and bit and now he is flying. I would like to see him win it. Flora has been consistently good but you feel like she hasn't quite made the step up and outshone anyone.

I don't care much for Nadiya - I find her hard to warm to, but I can't quite grasp why that is to be honest. I think he is either really good or really bad - depending on the challenge. Her food never really interests me either.

I think Matt's time was up - he always seemed to fluke things. I don't know if that was just his character and how he wanted to come across, but he always seemed to do well in the challenges he didn't have a clue about.

[Millie]

I would like Tamal to win this.  If not him - any of the others but Ian

[CornerFlag]

I'm saying Paul out next, then Flora.  Final three of Ian, Nadiya and Tamal, Tamal out in 3rd and Nadiya winning.

[Mouth]

Line up, line up, get your Flora cream horn jokes here!!

[El Lobo]

Paul 

[Mouth]

Flora had a lucky escape there. Bullseye on her for next week.

[Ziltoid]

Tick...

[Pistolero]

Flora should have gone....but her cuteness factor makes me ignore the fact that they made the wrong decision....

[Buck Pete]

I warmed to Paul in the end. The right person went though, especially as Flora may wear those tight trousers again this week.

She's been shite most weeks but luckily for her there's always been someone worse.

Nadiya is taking this down IMO.

[IanZG]

Flora should have gone....but her cuteness factor makes me ignore the fact that they made the wrong decision....

Indeed, love Flora, she's probably the weakest baker of the remaining lot, but hope she somehow flukes her way into the final

Wait, is she really 19 as someone said in one of the previous pages?
