Like a moth to a flame 

I dont like commenting on your posts at all Andy, don't even read them. What did I even reply?!

[Red Viper]

Jesus, mate, give it a rest. We get it, you don't like these things.

[Lee1-6Liv]

I can't believe anyone watches it live. I just record it and skip to the end when they are judging the results.

We do the same, it's still about an hour-long though.

So of the show stoppers last night were gash, one woman just served up a load of broken biscuits and managed to stay in.

Is this another one of those programmes your GF/Mrs 'makes you watch' is it? 

Genuinely dont get your apparent rage at people enjoying things that you dont like

Proper vibes of this guy!



Although I'm guessing you didnt watch that (or did, just so you could tell people what they were watching is rubbish!)

[AndyMuller]

Haha loving the fat fishes I've caught called Viperwhatever and Lobo!

Grown men who probably stay in all weekend watching celebrities dancing on a Saturday night and then randoms/celebrities baking cakes on a Sunday. Oh I forgot the Wrasslin' they watch in between!

Too easy this lark.

Then again it is RAWK, I remember someone on here saying him and his mates go to each others houses before a night out to eat a pudding

The cake baking is on Tuesday actually.

My bad

Although I’ll probably watch gogglebox on a Sunday and that often features the Bake Off so he has a bit of a point.

You forgot the WWF/WCW in between that nonsense.

Anyway, crack on with the baking and dancing and whatever else your partner forces you to watch

Taskmaster tomorrow, so I'll see you in that thread 

(unless you're too busy with Xbox games and talking about Nintendo press conferences....)

Actually don't like Taskmaster, but you knew that already.

Despite the ads and the extreme running time of the show, still without doubt the worst thing about it is Prue Leith.

Mary Berry Ultra over here.

[killer-heels]

Mary Berry Ultra over here.

Definitely. Plus the fact that Leith is a Brexit loving Tory shitbag.

[killer-heels]

Those Terrines were divine. The level is so high this year.

[Graeme]

Giuseppe, Jurgen and Crystelle will be the final 3. They’re significantly better then the rest of the group.

That guy ‘Chigs’ is pretty decent as well.

[El Lobo]

Yeah those four are the stand-outs

Fuck knows how the Greek lad didn't go out after he bollocksed up his baklava.

[Graeme]

Yeah. I thought the vegan girl was unlucky to go last week as well

[Zeppelin]

I must admit that her voice really grated on my nerves - what's with this drawl that 'the youngsters' all seem to put on these days?

[Grobbelrevell]

Definitely. Plus the fact that Leith is a Brexit loving Tory shitbag.

Is she? I quite liked her, to be honest, so that's a bit of a blow.

On another note, am I alone in missing the little historical inserts they used to have back in the day? I actually found those really interesting, when they'd cut away and find out about some Victorian pudding that they were about to get the gang to bake, that kind of thing.

I also miss Mel and Sue.

Yep, those historical bits were great.

[Graeme]

I don't at all. Thought they were very smug, acted like they were irreplaceable when it moved from BBC to C4. I actually think it improved without them. I didn't really know much about Noel before he joined but I think he's very funny. I don't dislike Matt Lucas but jury is out for me on whether it's the right show for him.

[tubby]

Think Noel needs more of a straight man/woman to play off, Matt Lucas is a weird fit for the dynamic.

Agree on the final four, it'll be Giuseppe, Jurgen and Crystelle, with Chico rounding things off.

She was rate East Yuuurkshur.

[Nobby Reserve]

He's my favourite contestant is George, just so laid back, but agree that there's 4 who stand out (and I think Giuseppe is the best all-round baker)

[Andy82lfc]

That Crystelle is so annoying which probably clouds my judgement but thought she should have gone this week.

Can’t wait to see which dead grandparent, uncle or other family member she tearfully dedicates her next slab of four and butter too, can’t have many more left.

[tubby]

Get the feeling Jürgen has had just about enough of Noel's shit.

[Grobbelrevell]

Get the feeling Jürgen has had just about enough of Noel's shit.

Judging by him serving floor pastries to Paul and Prue, you'd presume those pair as well.

Glorious, that, by the way.

Five Second Rule alive and well in the Black Forest.

[killer-heels]

These four were the best that this show has ever had.

[tubby]

Yeah the standard this year has been incredibly high.  Think Jurgen did lose a bit of steam in the last few weeks and Chigs has some real flair.  Crystelle's piping is insane.

[Andy82lfc]

Crystelle still annoys the shit out of me, so so fake, always checking what everyone else is doing on technicals and every cake has to either have had someone died or have some tragedy attached to it.

Chigs is my fave now I think as he’s most improved plus he is actually very likeable and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Giuseppe is also coming across really well and will be a close final hopefully not involving try hard suck up Crystelle.

[El Lobo]

 

Wasn't her show stopper dedicated to her wedding?

[Andy82lfc]

Wasn't her show stopper dedicated to her wedding?

It was dedicated to her sisters wedding that had to be cancelled due to COVID  she ran out of deaths in the family.

Sure she’ll dig out someone’s three legged dog for the final.

Probably something about her great, great grandmother and by once looking at a picture of her she felt an instant bond.

Chigs for the win!

[killer-heels]

Crystelle is so full of shit. “I have had a few important moments, I was the class clown and my family sat me down and told me to sort my life out”. At 8.

[tubby]

Giuseppe is all over the shop this week.

[Graeme]

Think the last item in the last showstopper decided the winner there. I think it was going elsewhere right to that point.

Absolutely and it looked wrong the moment it was cut.
