Loriea sad.gif I really wanted her to stay, she was one of my faves and she definitely wasn't the worst there, but I guess as she was consistently low in each bake she didn't have a standout thing to save her.

I love Sura, Laura and Irish Mark so far, that is a MAN *.* I felt so bad for Sura too with Dave's technical, but it's not like she ruined a perfect bake he would've been low anyway tbf.

Sura oh my god! That incident was so stressful to watch. Bless her though she felt so bad sad.gif

Disappointing first exit this year but not a huge shock. A very hard week one though!

I am so here for Rowan & Lotti in particular, Sura was lovely too, felt so bad for her during her technical and then she chose David Attenborough as her hero which can only be wonderful *. Actually kinda took to Loreia, she seemed pretty unique and ambitious, although tbf she did mess up to some extent in all the challenges.

I was unsure about Matt before this started, but he was wonderful, that opening skit was amazing wub.gif Was a really funny episode, though maybe I'm just glad to have a show this warm hearted back in these times.

How to get the public on your side - say David Attenborough is your hero laugh.gif

Loreia seemed wonderfully quirky so it was a shame to see her go so soon. Her recipes made me think of Liz Smith's Mrs Cropley from the early series of Vicar of Dibley.

Loreia </3

Such a bizarre feeling towards Sura for me. She seemed unnecessarily cold and rude for the first half, but then I was slightly warming to her by the end of the episode? We'll see whether that was just coz of the incident or not. So I'm intrigued to see her in the next couple of episodes.

My current faves are: Hermine, Mark & Peter. I don't have a strong dislike for anybody yet, but Sura would be last for me atm. Oops.

Overall that was a good first episode. Just nice, chill and light hearted entertainment! What more could we ask for in these trying times? wub.gif

I always record it so I can skip the adverts. If I time it right (I was close today) then I can finish watching it at roughly the time it actually finishes. Dave was the obvious star baker tonight. I thought Rowan would go but he just about clung on.

I just watched the first episode and Sura is giving me major Nadiya vibes with her facial expressions and joking around with the hosts. The gay guy (who remembers the names after first week amiright) was also pretty funny so those two are ones that stood out the most so far to me. The one who did Lupita has potential to be fun to watch as well.

The consolidated rating for epsiode 1 makes it Channel 4's most watched show since 1985! ohmy.gif

Didn’t agree at all with the decision of who was eliminated this week.

Rowan definitely was the weakest across all three bakes this week as nice as he is. Poor Mak didn’t he place third in the technical too i really thought that would’ve saved him.

Bread week next week is quite exciting. That’s usually when you really start to see who may be a contender isn’t it as it’s usually quite a tricky week although for weeks one and two the challenges this year have actually been quite hard.

Yeah that was some bullshit, Rowan was awful last week too and hasn't listened at all to any critiques he's been given about being too ambitious. I know each week is a clean slate here which I do agree with, but when it's a recurring pattern across every bake he's done it's even more of a shame to lose Mak over him who I think had way more potential.

You have to bear in mind they way the show has been recorded this year. In past years, the contestants will have had a week at home to revise their plans for the following week. This year, the time between recording shows one and two will have been, at most, one day and that will not have been spent at home. It will have been much harder for this year's contestants to respond to feedback from the judges.
