Messy icon Sura :love:

[MB.]

also I've been trying to figure out which former contestant Lottie reminds me of, and I think I've landed on Ruby Bhogal (which of course means I love her)

[Ammi]

...Awww Sura...:lovedup:...he still did okay though with his one safe space cake...

[Ammi]

...Lottie is gorgeous, MB...:love:..

[Barry.]

Matt is doing great in my opinion

I'm glad Peter got top baker as he's a fittie, but I think I like Lottie best?

I'm surprised Anula was evicted, I thought from how much she was featured she'd be a "main character"

[MB.]

Loriea being eliminated for using too much flavour is a travesty and I'm drafting a strongly-worded letter to Ofcom as we speak

[MB.]

I'm surprised Anula was evicted

I can't wait to see you try to pin this on autocorrect!

[Oliver_W]

I can't wait to see you try to pin this on autocorrect!

Oops :joker: was there even anyone called that? God knows where I got that name from...

[Strictly Jake]

Oops I forgot I turned off halfway through to go to bed and just seen who got star baker and who left first. Ah well. Lottie is my favourite so far

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm still getting over what they did to David Bowie

[Ammi]

...Queen Anula of Anuradhapura was the first queen in Sri Lankan history to have wielded meaningful power and authority, as well as the first female head of state in Asia....I swear to Holy Wiki that it is written...Queen Anula..:lovedup:..

[Oliver_W]

Pft and after all that she got evicted first, shocking!

[Morgan.]

Where did the term evicted come from anyway I didn’t see Davina McCallor a huge purpose built house in Elstree Studios.

:laugh:

tbh "evicted" seems to have become common vernacular for any person leaving reality tv. In this case it kiiiiind of makes sense as they're staying onsite in a bubble!

[Kizzy]

Disappointed I liked her...wanted the old woman to go she was rubbish.

You can already tell who the favourites are some contestants just don't get any airtime at all!

[MB.]

Rankings after episode 2 (since there'll be no new series of The Apprentice or Survivor this autumn, I may as well treat Bake Off like a trashy competitive reality show):

Lottie (I see Lottie is already being subjected to the exact same "omg Paul Hollywood is rigging it for her because he fancies her!!!!" narrative people tried to project onto Ruby Tandoh years ago, so fingers crossed Lottie turns out to be gay as well)
Sura (not sure she can surpass her performance in last week's ep, in which she invented walking cats on leads then proceeded to knock a fellow baker's cakes onto the floor, but she was still a very fun presence in the tent)
Rowan (terrible at baking, should have gone home this week, I love him)
Dave (a lot of people on Twitter seem to strongly dislike him for no apparent reason, which is weird because he's a pure earth angel who bakes cakes shaped like Blink-182 guitarists and does a shoulder shimmy every time he gets good critiques :love:)
Peter
Hermine
Linda (I like how, between her Bob Marley cake last week and tonight's "high tea in Amsterdam" showstopper, Linda is canonically a total stoner)
Mark
Laura
Marc

Loriea
Mak

[Ammi]

...I missed most of this last night, I’ll have to find it on catchup...it’s annoying that my head hasn’t connected Tuesday night with Bake Off night, yet...

...Lottie, though...she’s far too Hollywood for Hollywood.../...he’s not worthy of that much Hollywood...whatever she places in bake off, I hope that she has her own show in the up and coming...:lovedup:...lots and lots of Lottie please...

[Ammi]

...I love Rowan as well, MB...music teachers all over the world are so very Rowan are the findings of 2020... Being John Malkovich 2../ Being Rowan whatever his surname etc...:lovedup:..

[Oliver_W]

Lottie is the Queen this year.

I quite liked the dude who was evicted, but he wasn't featured enough to really know either way. Same with the top baker this week, he seemed to come from nowhere? But I guess while there's almost the full roster it's hard to show them all!

[Crimson Dynamo]

:think:

FILTH

[Nicky91]

i had thought this to be posted in more?

[Shaun]

haven't watched this week's yet but my favourites are Marc, Lottie, Sura and Hermine. Like all of them with the mildest of exceptions for Peter and Dave.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i did not want "insert name" to go last night as he was a good character. The guy who won star baker and the other bloke Dave are sooooo dull

[Liam-]

I find myself not enjoying Matt Lucas as much as I thought I would :worry:

[AnnieK]

I find myself not enjoying Matt Lucas as much as I thought I would :worry:

Me either.....I think he's trying too hard at the moment.

[Oliver_W]

This year is divided into those who are Lottie, and those who are not-Lottie.

Whatsherface was not-Lottie, therefore her presence is irrelevant .

[Ammi]

...I don’t know if it’s applicable to use spoilers but...


...Mark as Star Baker...:lovedup:...he was so thrilled and it was lovely to see...it’s such a shame that such a special thing that they all hope to achieve, was overshadowed a bit because of such a popular baker going..so, so sad to see Sura go but obviously happy to see Lottie stay...Lottie had a very poor week and I hope that it’s just a one off week and that she doesn’t find herself so vulnerable again...I’m hoping in the future, she might be the next Matt Lucas or Noel, even...Lottie's Great Bake Off, I’m thinking...but yeah, well done Mark..:love:..

[Cherie]

Not a fan of Lottie, all that pretend simmering tension between her and Hollywood and she should have left this week

Hermine is my favourite

[Shaun]

Sad about the elimination :( but there was no alternative, sadly

I think there are too many bland personalities, sadly. Peter, Dave and Laura all contribute absolutely nothing in terms of humour or intrigue... and as much as I like Marc he isn't really fun either.

I only really like Hermine, Mark, Linda and Lottie of those left.

[Ammi]

...awwwww, so sad that Linda has gone..:sad:...but it was really such an awful week for her, it couldn’t really have been anyone else...

[Shaun]

oh ffs

this is the worst series there's ever been

[Crimson Dynamo]

I enjoyed tonight as it goes

[Amy Jade]

Linda <\3

What a lovely lady, always smiling and happy, I'll miss her a lot, especially as there's only 3 or 4 left with any personality.

[Kizzy]

I wasn't a fan of linda tbh, even though I enjoy bake off you can kind of predict the contestants every season, the quirky girl, the sassy black lady, the travelling hipster bloke, the eccentric older person, the neurotic young guy, the perfectionist, the mumsy one.
I love it though :)

[OLLIE97]

oh ffs

this is the worst series there's ever been

Not when last year exists.

[Ammi]

...so sad that Mark went, he’s such a lovely guy...he knew, though that it’s never a good thing when that inedible word is used for your baking...but his leaving did mean that Laura stayed, the world has a way of adjusting and righting itself...and Lottie/Star Baker...:lovedup:..

[Ammi]

...as a little bake off aside....Noel Fielding and Lliana Bird have just welcomed their second daughter, Iggy....:lovedup:..

[Ammi]

...when is the curse of 2020 ever going to end, it’s relentless...Lottie..:sad:...it was always going to be her or Laura so always a lose/lose...until the last bake, I think that it would have been Laura...but yeah, either was just looming and just so sad to watch...when Lottie cried, we all cried...well that was just me but...Lottie..:lovedup:...

[Crimson Dynamo]

that Dave should have gone

1st bake awful

2nd awful


3rd tasted ok looked like a melted cowpat

Completely agree....he's been weak the last few times too

[Shaun]

as I've already said: it's a terrible series. I like Hermine and Marc but neither would come anywhere close to my all-time favourites.

[Morgan.]

I gave up after 3 weeks theres barely anyone rootable

[Amy Jade]

All the fun ones are gone, I loved Linda too you could tell she was having a ball every single day bless her.

[Shaun]

Not when last year exists.

Steph, Michelle, Michael, Priya and Helena did not deserve this slander

[Ammi]

....Marc gone...:sad:...it was gorgeous to see Hermine have such a good week, though...and be star baker...:lovedup:..I’m just not feeling Matt and Noel atm/...any presenting chemistry...they’re both lovely individually but as a coupling....it’s not happening for me, sadly...

[AnnieK]

Agree about Matt and Noel Ammi. I think Matt is trying too hard. Hopefully next series he will have settled a bit but he's too silly for me.

The right person went I thought :sad: Always sad to see people go out at this stage though.

....yeah, some of his jokey stuff feels a bit awkward, like the bakers don’t always quite get him, either...?..and it feels a bit like he’s connecting with some of the bakers more than others...so only being shown with those ones, rather than all of them...I love him, I so want him to be baker fabulous and hopefully he will find that fabulous...

[Shaun]

I demand blood

[Ammi]

...:sad:...2020 has no blood left to give, Shaun...our veins are empty...

[AnnieK]

Absolutely terrible decision last night :sad:

[Jessica.]

Should have been Laura

[Ammi]

...poor Laura getting some very bad stuff on Twitter../..social media...

[Shaun]

I feel bad for her I guess but it's the show's fault for keeping her in 5 weeks longer than she deserved to :shrug:

[Black Dagger]

Worst series ever.

[Oliver_W]

-Yi1l1sOO_s

The way Hermine spoke reminded me of the old Cybermen :joker:

[Cherie]

Just caught up with this, can’t believe they let Hermine go, last week they said she had been the most consistent baker throughout and she beat Laura in two of the 3 challenges, also felt it was unfair that they referred to the week as favouring her, Im am sure all of them had a week they were more comfortable with

Won’t bother with the final, very cross

[Gstar]

Bye @ there being no posts about the final

I think the winner was very well deserved, an amazing baker for his age

[Barry.]

I didn’t mind Peter but wanted Dave to win

[LaLaLand]

The fact that they change their reasoning over who goes out each time between “we judge it on the showstopper” and “we judge it by their time in the tent as a whole”...

Dave should have won imo. Dark horse who aced the final!

[Ammi]

Bye @ there being no posts about the final

...yeah, I agree, GStar....it’s lovely that he’s such a self confessed Bake Off fan and that he’s become the youngest ever winner of a show that he loves...it feels quite fitting and I’m thrilled for him...:love:..

[Shaun]

anyway moving on, let's look forward to next year's series x

[Ammi]

...it made me feel as though I should have a try at making custard slices...that would be a good 2020 achievement....

[AnnieK]

It was a bit of a dull final. Congrats to Peter though, out of the 3 he was the most consistent throughout. Would have preferred Hermine in the final to Laura still though

[Kizzy]

I still think charlotte was robbed her jiggly cake was the only Japanese thing about Japanese week, and poor hermine in patisserie week too!
V disappointing final.

[Cherie]

Bye @ there being no posts about the final

I had no interest when they shoehorned Laura into the final over Hermine

[Amy Jade]

The final was so lacklustre, David was the only one who presented a showstopper imo. James's showstopper looked like an art and craft project

[Jessica.]

Kinda boring final, I think the winner deserved it but barely.
