I think it must have come down to flavour as both that went home had really bad comments around blandness or flavours not working

I'd have definitely gone for Priya! Helena I can kind of understand as she's kinda scrapped to get this far already but it shouldn't have been in the week she won the technical! Michelle is a big shock though, she's usually one of the strongest.

I think she did enough in the past to warrant staying. I think Michelle deserved to go and Priya; the latter of which has had 2 shocking weeks in a row and been saved |

I don't really dislike any of them this year so it's always a bit sad to see people go. This week's ideas were all amazing. If they had all worked as planned, I would have been left feeling very hungry
 Good to see Henry still doing well!

Gutted for Helena to go after winning the technical!
Rosie’s been more consistent pretty much every other week which is why I feel she stayed. But Michael and Priya probably should’ve left tbh. Or maybe even David who come last in technical. Strange result. Perhaps they have favourites though? Last year Rahul won but was the worst baker for multiple weeks leading to the final (later down the line than where she show is at currently). Maybe they let Helena go to go out on a high? Also confused at why Michelle left too. |

God knows how they judged it, if they went off just today it probably should have been Priya and Rosie, if they went off overall I still would have gone Priya and I suppose Helena, but I don't think anyone who wish the technical should go, maybe if they did an absolutely terrible showstopper
Either way I don't think previous weeks should come into it, on a show like it should be that they judge what's put in front of them that day/week. I feel like there's a bit too much weight on the showstopper too, at least in terms of going home, I get that it's the biggest thing they do and it's kind of make or break, but some weeks it feels like the technical and signature barely matter because htey just do whatever based on the showstopper Michelle I'm totally baffled at, she's not been "in the bottom" or on the radar of being in danger really yet one slightly bland tasting showstopper and she's gone?? The only thing I can think of is they kind of made an example of her, after two technicals in a row with a less than ideal standard (moreso last week's) , they wanted to shake them up and show them that anyone could go if they don't get their act together? |

I’ve never seen anyone leave yet win the technical.
Even with it being a double. It’s a bit of a salty statement tbh but I do feel it was a bit like they didn’t think Helena was ever going to win so they let her go out on a high. Like tbh overall she’s probably amongst the weakest but this week alone she genuinely wasn’t in my eyes someone who seemed in danger of going I’d have been less shocked at her at getting star baker!

Flora did leave having won the technical in series 6, but that was the semi final which makes much more sense, when there's only 4 it comes down to splitting hairs sometimes and iirc she didn't do great otherwise.

The technical never really seems to carry much weight, and the theme for her other bakes was just getting boring - glad she went. When they said two were slipping towards the bottom I thought it was nailed on Helena and Priya - Michelle really shocked me

Then her disaster with the cake on the floor and her reaction was really heartbreaking tbh. But then when she's doing good she's just as smug as Dan or Steve from a couple of years back to me. So I'm kinda on the fence with her.But I'm so pissed at that result mainly coz Priya should've gone. I feel like Helena & Michelle still had a few more rounds in them and shouldn't have gone when they were at least middling on all the challenges this week (with Helena winning one). Keeping Rosie this week was not the right choice either. She completely screwed up on the signature. Had a just as bad and disastrous technical with an ok-good showstopper.. |

They might as well just ditch the technical challenge for all the worth it carries, I can see how the other challenges matter more as they show creativity, but to disregard it completely when it's meant to be based on all three is just false. I assume they were getting bored of Helena's gothic theme and they just wanted to get rid of her as she'll never win, but that felt really unfair. It seemed very close which is a good thing, but Rosie was surely a better choice given she was lacklustre throughout. Michelle I kind of saw coming as she didn't get any great comments.
I guess Henry will take the mantle as my favourite now, but honestly I don't feel strongly about any of them, they're all technically good of course, but none of them really have a distinctive or memorable style (or personality I must say, as lovely as they all seem) |

The last two technicals seem to have been pretty difficult, last week particularly so. If there isn't much to separate them (as was the case last week when they ranged between decidedly poor and terrible) then it isn't going to carry much weight.

- Let me get the fly off you
- They come to me cause I'm dead i'm just gonna leave it here so that everyone gets reminded what a bland bunch of bakers has remained both bakes and personality-wise. Such a dip in quality compared to last year. WHERE ARE ALL THE NADIYAS AT?! I recently rewatched her season and got reminded why she remains by far the best of all time. So likeable and memeable yet still extremely graceful and fierce plus of course her bakes seemed most extraordinary from this side of the screen. Also LET'S DO A GBBO CONTESTANT RATE! |

i sometimes watch GBBO using VPN connecting to the US on Netflix and they dub it as "The Great British Baking Show" apparently due to some other "Bake Off" named show. Interestingly Sandi and Noel also have to do another take to pronounce it like that for the American version.
come on british bake off invasion! |
