ah right I get ya..  

 

beautiful?  :scratcheshead:  she's a normal every day type of girl with a pouty sulky frowny face to boot

 

mind you as I said last week.  what dickhead enters a competition like that when they have major exams?

I'm sorry Howard went , and I agree with everyone about Ruby ....she makes me grrrrrrrr And I don't actually believe her poor me act either.....it's all a front IMO ...

I feel sorry for her tutors if she does badly in her exams. .tantrums galore methinks

I can just hear her woe is me act ! 

I don't think she's that pretty, she's no minger but she's not a stunner!

I agree Sweet  

N0-0ne interested in this thread anymore either, it would seem!

I'm still watching EFFT ....but I record it and watch it /and comment later  

Oh....it's going too well!

 

I like the sound of these 'nuns'.

In fact I may much on a bar of chocolate whilst they toil 

 

I think as a kid we used to call them 'Elephants Feet'.

 

 

 

 

I think it's only right that we should join in from time to time!

evening bakers!

I'm on a 15 min delay, but I'm tuning in

LOVED the suet puddings, a good friend of mine makes a fantastic klutey dumpling, her grandparents are from Orkney

'clootie'

 

My nana used to love them 

Mmmmm the chocolate choux snowmen looked delicious!

 

All woman final.

Aw I knew it would be glen! He was funny but that show stopper was more stop than show.

Ruby talks like a drip, she's getting on my wick! Credit to her for the good work though.
Winging it? My butt! That's an act IMO

Loved Becca & Francis this week, I'm very glad Francis won star baker

I'm totally turned around on Christine now, I think she's great

rapidly going off Kimberly though- great baker but not very sportsman like is she?! See those faces she pulls when the judges say negative things about her work? Or when someone else is doing well..? She was my winner early on, but not anymore!

Anyone else think a few of them have gained a few pounds?

Not surprised by who went ...the last challenge was a disaster dahling. ....Ruby annoys me more every week I agree Kimberly got a little too cocky this time . ...and not really sure who I want to win ....as long as it's NOT Ruby

It will be Ruby 

 

 

I'm in agreement with all that Baz...although I've never really liked Kimberly, I would like to push Ruby's miserable chops into a cake mix...I don't mind who wins out of the other three to be honest, I think Becca and Francis have been more consistent than Christine to be fair, saying that if she won I wouldn't be too upset. I'm pleased Glen went, he's ridden is luck for weeks and I'd rather Howard had stayed last week, I'm sure Howard would have been out the door this week though 

 

Ruby is growing on me

 

Like a wart on a carbuncle. .i.e. get it out of here

 

no one has stood out for me this yr. . and I can never remember their names, apart form she who needs lancing..

Guess what?  I don't like Ruby either.    She really annoyed me when she said 'Mel.. i need a talking to' when Mel was helping Francis.   Why not say what you mean?  'Mel.. I need the attention back on me'  

 

Glad Glen went - I think he was a bit of a tw@t tbh.  Telling Paul he's got a better way of making pastry then putting the crap up and saying 'I think there's enough there to make sure I go through.

 

I liked Kimberley up until recently, but I think she's getting smug 'I don't know why they panic.. it's quite simple'  Yeah, ok..

 

I like all the other three.    Becca seems to have least disasters, but i think she's also had less stand out winners.  I love Francis's designs.. but she's not always the best baker.  Christine has had a few disasters but I do think she might be the best baker.  I also think these three are the nicest people.. they're genuinely happy for people who get praise, but Kimberley wanted to punch Ruby who, in turn, wanted to knife Christine.  

 

 

I feel that I may be a lone voice but I don't mind Ruby, what is more strange is that I don't really dislike any of the contestants. I was disappointed that Howard did not progress further as you have to support your hometown contestant don't you 

 

The people I do dislike are 'Smell & Poo' (Mel and Sue).

Stands in EC's corner....for the main part.

Welcome Fluffs. Fancy one of my choux buns with crème patissiere and topped with a lovely chocolate ganache? 

 

 

I'm in the far away opposite corner on both counts 

Do you mean a nun  

Don't mind if I do, thanks!

 I was trying to be a bit flash  Although we used to have them without the top choux, just a large creme filled, chocolate topped choux called 'Elephants Feet'

Here you go, enjoy. 

 

I just call them plain old profiteroles 

The ones we used to buy are the size of a grapefruit. Mmmmmm  

Is that not just a profiterol?

We call them elephants' feet too!   (and my mum used to call crumpets (that's very thin pancakes up here) elephants' lugs... but I don't know if that was just her...

Don't you have elephants' feet on the west?   A profiterole to me is  little thing that you need at least five off in one sitting... you can only eat one elephants' foot.

I'd rather Glenn had gone instead of howard last week.

Never seen or heard of anything that size before.
