[Saffy]

Thank god someone made a thread!

 

[hash tag]

2 minutes in and its more like a pantomime than ever before

 

[Mogden]

Loved that opening scene!

 

[D'wards]

Matt is brilliant already. The BAKE bit creased me up

 

[danski]

That woman’s weird orange clip in extension is making me feel uncomfortable.

 

[Mogden]

I was going to say Viking metal girl looks set to go home then I heard the word microwave!

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Didn't think much of the Eton Mess. Luckily Bake-Off was on right after him.

 

[5t3IIa]

I’m not sure one should walk so breezily behind someone while carrying one’s precious buns but anyway

 

[5t3IIa]

I’m enjoying Matt. Like, might as well

 

[Saffy]

A 3D bust in week one?

 

[Mogden]

During the usual they practice at home. How are they doing that this time I wonder cos you don't want to share a kitchen with an opponent do you?

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Disappointed at the lack of cake puns in the bust challenge.

 

[Mogden]

A 3D bust in week one?

Indeed. And next week 3d biscuit scenes. It's week two!!

[moomoo]

Oh, that was glorious!! I’m so happy!

 

[Saffy]

I've been laughing over the David Bowie cake for ages.

 

[Mogden]

I'm still laughing at the Freddie puns and comedy captions on Twitter.

I want to cake free!

 

[Me76]

I haven't learnt anyone's names yet.

Was very surprised that the one who went did. I thought there were at least two that should have gone before her.

So many droppings though.

Matt is OK. Would have preferred a woman really, but he's fine. Thought the bit at the beginning was slightly too much on the political scale for bake off, but they be just me wanting it to be pure escapism.

 

[nagapie]

I'm not sure I can enjoy this any more now that I've given up eating cake. Bit like trying to enjoy the pub without cigarettes

 

[5t3IIa]

Not surprised

Spoiler: Spoiler

Mak

went this week. Didn’t follow the brief, and wasn’t as ‘good’ TV as the other one who was headed for the chop. I quite like raspberry haggis, Ethiopian teapot and vikings, less keen on scary-eyes Mexican teapot.

 

[Saffy]

They were the right one to go but I've now lost two contestants in my family sweepstake!

Rowan's lighthouse made me laugh so much. I think it was the out of proportion yellow light on top.

 

[Me76]

I think Rowan should have gone. And I felt like viking boat woman seemed to get rather a lot of the coverage this week even though nothing much of note was happening with her.

 

[zora]

Was chuffed for Hermine that her salmon and cheese soda bread was such a success - one to try at home, methinks!

Loved the bit where Marc was explaining the dharma/mindful presence and very pleased it worked so well for him, in life as in this episode.

 

[5t3IIa]

Viking Boat/Pantomime Producer is good telly, according to C4.

I like both Marks, and Hermine and Edinburgh Young 'Un I can see Scary Eyes crashing & burning as he tries too hard

 

[Sapphireblue]

i like Viking boat woman although this week she was middling.

i like both Marks as well and also the blonde (early 30s?) woman.

glad for Rowan he did actually manage to finish something, even if it didn't taste the best!

 

[Saffy]

I love Sura. Her face shows exactly what she's thinking.

 

[clicker]

It's driving me mad , who does Viking Woman sound like? Her voice is so similar to a female person on telly or radio?

 

[5t3IIa]

Lucas was unbearable this week

 

[kittyP]

None of them seem particularly skilled this year.
Not in comparison to previous years anyway.
