I'm all caught up too sorry I wasn't around live last night!

I've so far not been a fan of Christine but I thought she was great last night and my first choice for star baker the alpine clock was especially fantastic!

Loved the Tottenham tray bake history lesson

I was quite surprised by the bakers falling into the zone of leaving this week, it really does prove that anyone can have an off day!
I thought Ruby's cone was good, and much more of a show stopper than some of the other efforts, however, I can't help but wonder if they've been lenient with her because of her exams. I also suspect that Mr Hollywood has a bit of a soft spot for her

Becca's biscuit tower was good too, I loved the design. She's one of my favourite contestants

You can rewatch the hysterical custard tart fiasco

is it just me or are this lot not as good as last yrs? I know when I watched the last season I was so tempted by everything they did that it sent me on a mad baking spree for months. . this lot just make me go hmmm ..

 

I've even tried watching it when I am hungry and nope, nothing, nowt, nada not interested in their offerings.....  as for trifle week. . bleurgh they all looked horrible.. totally not tempting in any way.. and Ruby needs to go do her exams first then try again another yr and stop with the sulky sour puss of hers when things don't go her way..

 

that's it for now

I agree about Ruby,  Olly ...and I also agree about Paul, Sweet  

I've been reading the thread on DS they are up to 112 pages and if you diss Ruby you are a jealous bulleh, they even argue in a baking thread  I also think they have been lenient with her and I think Paul likes her I look forward to see what mishaps happen to poor Howard this week 

Doesn't sound very sporting Aimee lol, can't they just enjoy the show

There seems to be a few if us that think the same about Ruby but others seem to think we didn't like her cause she's pretty  but like I think it was Olly said don't do your exams and the bake off if you can't handle the pressure 

I read that thread Aimee

They argue over anything 

Yes...

Do you like Howard Baz?

Ooooh someone bake my a tea loaf!

*me!

I'm so excited I can't type

Paul was impressed with Ruby's fruit adding timing

Kimberley and Becca are my favourites

I like Kimberley (and I like Becca, but don't think she's the best)  I actually think Christine is the best allrounder,

I don't like the way some of them slam the ovens closed. I'm sure it can't do the contents much good - even when the stuff hasn't even STARTED to bake!

I always think that too, Fluffs!

except on tea breads apparently....

I hadn't noticed the oven slamming- I bet I see it all the time now lol

Paul is def sweet on ruby!
