Bake off is back 2021

[moomoo]

Even though she irritates me I have to admire her pluck. She’s quite a trooper.

I was quite worried about Freya at one point - I thought she was going to crumble.

Jürgen is back!

Freya really annoys me. We love Jurgen and Guiseppe. If either of them win them we shall be happy.

 

[Saffy]

Chigs is starting to do really well now too. His pavlova looked delicious.

It's really a two horse race this year. But at least it'll be a winner from Europe!
Although Lizzie is my personal favourite.

I want her wardrobe.

 

[nagapie]

I want her wardrobe.

I'll have to pay attention to it now.

I'll have to pay attention to it now.

Mostly this dress from this week tbf.

 

[zora]

German week next week!

 

[hash tag]

Really sad to see the person who has gone leave the tent today.

 

[Looby]

OUTRAGED!

 

[Dovydaitis]

This weeks leaver grated on me so pleased they have gone. I think I know who the final 4 will be

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Certainly odd to see the precocious student leave this early, but it's fair. We have a number of people still left who are not up to standard. It's Giuseppe vs Jurgen this year, that's been clear since episode one.

She annoyed me a bit but all credit to her for sticking with the vegan route and proving that, in most cases, it is possible.

 

[hash tag]

I thought Amanda could have gone last week. She could be favourite tonight?

 

[hash tag]

Baklava with filo

 

[moomoo]

Mine is broken!!

 

[hash tag]

Oh no.

 

[MrCurry]

Just sat watching episode 4, dessert week.

When Maggie turned out her sticky toffee puddings from the moulds I was howling with laughter… then she comes out that line about how the viewers at home would be feeling so sorry for her - and I fell off the sofa!!

 

[hash tag]

It's looking good tonight.

 

[hash tag]

Nooooo. I want a recount. Wrong result, wrong person left, again.

 

[Carvaged]

That was a tight week! I thought they might have let all 5 stay for the semi-final.

 

[Saffy]

I'm a bit sad at that result.

I've got a proper crush on Chigs.

 

[hash tag]

Oh dear. We were out and forgot

 

[Carvaged]

Oh dear. We were out and forgot

Something to look forward to then - it was a fun week, with some really great showstoppers to behold

 

[Dovydaitis]

Very tight! Sad about who’s gone though

 

[Looby]

I'm a bit sad at that result.

I've got a proper crush on Chigs.

Me too with his glasses on!

I feel sad too, especially because that final cake was incredible.

 

[MrCurry]

I don’t know if I’m one week or two weeks behind, but last night watched German week. Seemed harsh on Freya that she got dropped, as her bakes weren’t that bad. Juergen and Guiseppe continue to impress as the strongest of the group!

'Chigs wearing glasses' is a thing on Twitter.

Yeah that must be a few weeks back. We've had caramel week and this week was 'Free From' (gluten, dairy, flavour, taste) week.

Which reminds me, I was planning to bake some caramel slices with an inch of caramel. Must add that to the list!

 

[Mogden]

I'm sorry but did everyone watch a different version than I did of last night. Jurgen ballsed up his macarons, dropped his bloody sausage rolls and still served them, we are still in a pandemic and hygiene lockdown yeah , and his cake was massive but distinctively averagely decorated and on the wonk. And why did the white chocolate bit look like set custard rather than sponge?

I'm sure they have, in previous series, said that the decisions are made week by week, not accumulatively or is that just the final?

Yeah I think this was one of his weakest weeks, but they claimed to really like his showpiece (even though it looked a bit wonky to me) and also his macaroon creation (especially the filling).
