[lewis111]

[Shaun]

YAY

[lewis111]

Perfect outcome

[LukeB]

Val and Candice safe :love:

[MB.]

Shantay you stay Val :clap1:

[GiRTh]

How did Jane win that?

[Amy Jade]

Yesssss ss

Val lives!

[lewis111]

He was my least fave

[Ross.]

Val is coming to slay next week

[Pete.]

Val did that

[MB.]

(I don't actually remember who Lee is but it's not Val so yay)

[Braden]

I'm sure Lee is lovely but we need more Val. He needed to go.

[Natalie.]

Yes Val!

[Ammi]

....Lee..:love:...but I'm so pleased that Val is staying...

[Ross.]

I'm sure Lee is lovely but we need more Val. He needed to go.

Yes he had to be sacrificed for our Val

[GiRTh]

I dont even remember that bloke.

[Shaun]

Candice's biscuits look doomed :worry:

[MB.]

Yass Dorien

[Natalie.]

Yes he had to be sacrificed for our Val

Had to be done

[Braden]

Yes he had to be sacrificed for our Val

We need to witness more of her dance moves whilst she's baking.

[TomC]

Anyone else a bit bored of Bake Off now? :worry:

[MB.]

It's been one episode, calm down

[lewis111]

Anyone else a bit bored of Bake Off now? :worry:

No

[lewis111]

I'm kinda shocked Jane won but very happy

[TomC]

It's been one episode, calm down

You're right actually, let me take a few deep breaths! Thanks :)

Honestly though, I mean in general, I'm not just talking about this series

[Black Dagger]

Thank god Nana Val stayed. Although I think old bloke was doomed half way through anyway so wasn't overly worried.

[Braden]

I was shocked he went to be honest because it felt like he barely got any screentime. DId he even get an introduction with his backstory? :worry:

[Nicky91]

poor Lee, Candice should've went out last night :(



but i really like Val, Jane and Selasi :)

[LukeB]

10.4 million viewers this got last night

[Nicky91]

10.4 million viewers this got last night

yeah, that is a lot of viewers, almost as much as strictly :)

[Time to Sleigh]

Watch it with my family and we try and predict who will be top 3 as soon as we see them before they do any baking, my top 3 were 1. Tom 2. Kate 3. Jane, but after seeing the bake of I think I'll only be right about Jane being in the final we will have to see but I love the programme, we all eat cake all the way through it it's epic haha!

[Nicky91]

No she shouldn't, she only had one bad bake whereas all of Lee's were unsatisfactory.

Glad Lee was eliminated, he was a bore.

[LukeB]

Yeah Lee pretty much flopped on all 3 and Candice only flopped on one.

i guess you guys are right, but Lee seemed like a nice guy, too bad he had bad luck with his baking :)

[BigSister]

Just caught up and I agree I knew Lee would go as soon as the results of the first bake was announced. Now I want a Jaffa cake ^_^

[Suze]

Just caught up and I agree I knew Lee would go as soon as the results of the first bake was announced. Now I want a Jaffa cake ^_^

Lee was definitely the right one to be sent home. Though at moment can't take to Tom, so him going next wouldn't worry me.

:D I started looking for jaffa cake recipes online after Bake off yesterday. I was telling my nephew about the Jaffa Cakes, and he said less fiddly to make a large Jaffa Cake and cut it into slices rather than the small ones, and I might just try that, although think one of the contestants did their own version of a large Jaffa Cake in the final bake yesterday anyway.

[Shaun]

The BBC must make an absolute mint on promoting certain cakes and biscuit brands through the show, sales of Jaffa Cakes must be through the roof for the next week.

[smudgie]

Love love love this show. Now this really is reality tv at its best.
If I wasn't already happily married i would marrySelasi and he could bake for me every day.
Jane is lovely and Val is hilarious.

[Northern Monkey]

Black dude's got it in the bag.He's consistently good.Everything he makes looks well presented and delicious.

[LukeB]

[lewis111]

[Shaun]

they seem to be setting up a Candice elimination :think: but I've got the feeling she'll get at least halfway through the series.

[lewis111]

[lewis111]

[lewis111]

Hill walking Louise :love:

[lewis111]

OMG Granny Val :love:

[Shaun]

Oh no, Val's using those little silver balls for decoration. I cracked a tooth on one of those smh. (was probably a ball bearing that'd been deliberately put there in hindsight)

[LukeB]

I forgot Kate existed

[Shaun]

I forgot Kate existed

[Pete.]

Justice for Louise :(

[lewis111]

A Selasi win and Val elimination would be awful

[Shaun]

yes it would, wouldn't it

if you look past the fact he's clearly one of the best there

[lewis111]

I hate how Selasi finished early and nothing went wrong yet again he just seems too professional for this competition

[Shaun]

Michael and Andrew :clap1:

[Pete.]

I hate how Selasi finished early and nothing went wrong yet again he just seems too professional for this competition

[lewis111]

Can they just send Kate home and keep Louise would anyone notice

[LukeB]

[LukeB]

[Shaun]

Candice hasn't been shown yet has she? She could snatch SB

[Natalie.]

Paul cutting her husband right in front of her eyes

[Shaun]

[lewis111]

It's gonna be so close but I think Val is gone

[LukeB]

Val is still safe

[Natalie.]

Yes Val!!

[lewis111]

Val surviving bottom 2 twice :love:

[Oaker]

Val somehow getting this far <3

[FaLaLaLand]

Queen Val

[Jessica.]

Screaming at that episode. I am disappointed that Val didn't do any aerobics while cooking in this episode.

[TomC]

Does no one agree that Michael is bae?

[LukeB]

Does no one agree that Michael is bae?

He's cute.

[Cherry Christmas]

Louise was shaky and nervous I'm glad she went, I was nervous for her, Candice was lovely to her as well helping her pick up the cakes she dropped :love:

[Withano]

How we gonna celebrate when Val wins?

[Withano]

I havent looked through this thread before. I presume that Val is the forum favourite and we despise everybody else by default.

[andybigbro]

First time watching GBBO and I'm loving it :love:

Love Val, Candice and Benjamina just now

[Black Dagger]

Does no one agree that Michael is bae?

Yes I wasn't sure if it was a 'it's been so long I'd tickle his balls' thing I had going on but he's lovely.

[LukeB]

First time watching GBBO and I'm loving it :love:

Love Val, Candice and Benjamina just now

Me too, I feel like watching older seasons tbh.

[Jessica.]

I went back and watched the previous season a few months ago, it was great, you all should watch it, very enjoyable, maybe wait a few weeks after this is over though, so you can remember everyone properly and so you can build up a longing to watch it because you miss this one. :joker:

[Shaun]

best season is the one Frances won (even though she won :inamood:) imo... Howard, Glenn, Kimberly, Christine, Moody Ruby, Beca <333333

and Robert's dalek and the generally lovely Ali too, and to my date the only double elimination the show's ever had :omgno:

but all series are great. Only one I didn't watch was the first one.

[Ammi]

..Candice was amazing ..:lovedup:...gingerbread is my least favourite thing in the bake-off but Viennese Whirls though...:love:...poor Louise..:sad:..but she had to be sacrificed to the Fairy Cake Gods for Val.../well done Louise, though..only the strong cakes survive in this, my love...:love:...

[Nicky91]

Candice was really amazing, I Loved that Gingerbread pub, rightfully the star baker of the week, from crap to fab for me, i think she's going to be my favourite this year, and I'm glad Val survived this week, i find her so funny :)

[MB.]

Just caught up on this. Candice baking a pub <3

[Braden]

Val is the J'Tia of The Great British Bake Off.

Candice's pub was fantastic but I think Andrew should have been Star Baker. Louise was the right person to go but I enjoyed watchin her in both episodes. She was so awkward and serious one minute, but then joyous the next :p

[Shaun]

Time for another incredible great escape by Val

[LukeB]

I'm not going to eat it is to
Candice

[lewis111]

Val the pro to win?

[Christmas Dynasnow]

omg i forgot :omgno:

* gets tea made pronto

[Shaun]

I could kill for some brioche right now. Or a nice pannetone.

[Shaun]

I've heard of chili chocolate but cayenne pepper in a bread...? :umm2:

[Braden]

I love bread week because when it comes to showstoppers they literally are showstoppers.

Ruby's peacock and Paul's lion were both probably the best things I've seen on the show.

[LukeB]

I've actually been watching old seasons of GBBO I'm on season 3 atm :laugh:

Season 2 was great especially the winner

[Shaun]

2 was John wasn't it? I wanted Brendan/the Scottish one to win </3 but I can't remember the rest of the series.

[Shaun]

OK so Candice could be one of those infamous "star baker-next week's boot" contestants :worry:

[LukeB]

2 was John wasn't it? I wanted Brendan/the Scottish one to win </3 but I can't remember the rest of the series.

2 was the one where all males went first and got left with the ladies, Jo,Wide Eyed Janet and Holly.

[Shaun]

Ohhhh I thought that was the first series.

They're all having disasters except Andrew :worry: YAY KATE FAILED

[lewis111]

Val didn't do awful which is good for her

[Oaker]

everyone flopped :worry:

[Samm]

Candice ;(

[LukeB]

Candice </3

[Shaun]

drag Tom for that technicality Paul :clap1:

[Natalie.]

Candice :worry:

[Shaun]

yay Rav :love:

[LukeB]

I've never heard of that before :worry:

[Samm]

these are vile

[Shaun]

that just looks like balls of raw dough :laugh: no ta.

[Samm]

hmm okay maybe not

[Oaker]

erm what are these

[Shaun]

Val's look good :worry:

[LukeB]

Another bad effort from Kate.

[Samm]

Val :love:

[Ross.]

Val slaying :clap1:

[Natalie.]

Val :clap1:

[lewis111]

Val queen of bread

[Shaun]

hopefully round 1 saves Rav :worry:

[lewis111]

Candice redemption

[lewis111]

OH MY VAL

[LukeB]

Candice getting 3rd :love:

Val Winning :clap1:

[Shaun]

Andrew's walking Star Baker surely.

YES VAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Samm]

hahahayahatahshauahagahahah

[Ross.]

YASSSSSSS Val winning :clap1:

[Natalie.]

Yay for Val!!

[LukeB]

Kate must be in danger now?

[Shaun]

I think Jane might go </3

but she isn't one of my five faves so never mind. Hopefully Kate presents a plate full of fart.

[LukeB]

Jayne or Kate are my predictions who might go

[Shaun]

then again Michael's seems like a hell of a lot of filling so maybe that'll end up being raw and he'll go...

[lewis111]

I love Val she's amazing

[Shaun]

None of these are wowing me like the lion did :worry:

[Braden]

I love that Jane seems drunk.

[lewis111]

Pray for Jane to stay and Kate or that young guy with the dark hair to mess
Up
