Bake off is back 2021

[hash tag]

Right result I thought. It's still a shame George went last week. Chigs is quietly coming good, a possible contender. Jurgen slipping a little.....

I love it when they do layered fancy cakes. I know bread is baking etc...but cake weeks rule.

Chigs is back with his glasses swoon

 

[pbsmooth]

Gutted!

 

[moomoo]

Crystelle is SO dramatic! All that swooning and pretending to faint really got on my nerves today.

 

[pbsmooth]

Yes she's a bit annoying. The reaction to handshake and star baker. Even Chigs clocked it "Why are you so surprised?!"

 

[Aladdin]

The wrong person is gone.

It did get on my nerves too at first.
But by the end I think she was genuine.

Cant wait for next week's show.

Me neither but it’s so tense!! I’m not sure I can cope!

Me neither but it’s so tense!! I’m not sure I can cope!

Yep. I was like that tonight.

 

[Dovydaitis]

Missing them already! Wrong one went. Gutted. Crystelle really, really annoys me still

 

[Aladdin]

Fielding was really annoying to Jurgen tonight.
I just thought he sort of was setting him up.

 

[braindancer]

. All the family were Team Jurgen... What a tragedy!

 

[Saffy]

His show stopper just didn't work very well, did it?
Noel annoyed me this episode.

It's a competition and someone has to win and the others not win. Having come this far we knew Jürgen was good. He had a poor opening round but he did win the technical

 

[Carvaged]

Shocking result, but these are four of the best they've had on any series, so it really can't have been easy to separate them.

 

[Dovydaitis]

There is a theory going around my bunch of mates that Juergen went this week as he isn’t marketable enough.

It should have been crystelle went last week then lizzy this week (don’t think she would have done very well this week) but that would have meant an all male final

Switching my allegiance, now very firmly team chigs

 

[Saffy]

Chigs for me too.
I watched a TikTok the other day and even in USA people are team Chigs and his glasses.

Well Jurgen has the most instagram followers last time i looked! But you can imagine Crystelle wants to do TV/books after. That said, having not really watched it before, are there that many previous winners who did something in the public eye after? Can't say I'm aware

Nadiya Hussain has done very well for herself, she's thoroughly likeable and a good presenter on TV. Her American road trip was a great piece of telly.

 

[pbsmooth]

Yeah that was only one I was aware of

 

[nagapie]

Jurgen definitely deserved to go, he was the worst this week. And Lizzie was the worst last week despite her signature. Judging seems fair to me.
I've no favourites left so I'll go team Crystelle for the women's vote. Although I wish she'd stop decorating everything with flowers, bit twee.

Apart from Nadiya, as hs been said, there was John Whaite who won it a while ago. He's the resident chef on Stephs McGovern's lunchtime wotnot on Channel 4, he's had a few books out and he's in Strictly this year.

 

[pbsmooth]

Oh have been watching Strictly and had no idea who he was!

 

[Saffy]

Briony and Helena have done really well too. To be honest I am follow them all on Instagram and so on I always know what they're up to.

 

[Carvaged]

Lots of ex-Bake Off contestants have media careers. One of them presents Bake Off: Pros, another does teleshopping at 4am selling air fryers and whatnot.

Noel should have shook Jurgens hand. He was being a prick. And you could see it sort of hurt Jurgen.
