Not even glad my prediction came true.

Laura being in the final when shes scraped through at least 4 times, nah mate.

That is an absolute fucking nonsense. Why do they even bother doing the rounds before the showstopper? Seems you can knock out any old shit in them and then if someone manages to mess up a bit more than you in the final round you’re grand.

Aye, it’s still complete bullshit though and it still makes me angry every time. I don’t know why I get sucked in every year.

David grew on me this episode

Did I watch something different from other people? Laura did better than Hermine in two of the rounds, and they said her showstopper tasted amazing vs. Something they clearly didn’t enjoy from Hermine …

Previous rounds don’t matter, based on this week it couldn’t really have gone any other way

Just frustrating because Hermine is demonstrably better than her. At least they’ve always been consistent in the show on it being judged on that episode not past performance.

Agree, but that’s always happened. Every series I’ve watched thereS been a ā€œbetterā€ baker who went home too soon, or had a shit bread week etc etc. Does mean we lose some better people earlier, but I like it overall. Any other way wouldn’t really allow for people who improve over time if they’ve had too many near misses to count against them

yeah i don’t mind Matt Lucas but he is very unnatural on this and doesn’t seem to know how to talk to other human beings (neither do i so i don’t blame him, but i don’t co-host a baking show)

Seems you have all the qualifications though. Get yourself a Fall jumper and you’re quids in

i’ve never really watched it properly until this year and i’ve been wondering from the beginning whether or not the showstopper is supposed to be the only part of the episode that actually counts, definitely feels like that some weeks

Twitter being predictably horrendous about Laura because she stayed in. Funny how all those people who didn’t taste any of the cakes know better than the professional judges who did :woman_shrugging:
