August 30, 20159 yr :lol: Nadiya though <3 Are we all aware of this important Tumblr: http://manyfacesofnadiya.tumblr.com/ (not too many posts, but the fact it exists is enough :kink: ) Also I'm going to miss Sandy. What a woman! http://41.media.tumblr.com/9e5a78dc72c51359a9c6892b9ab8b717/tumblr_ntphgraRNY1tni61eo2_540.jpg
August 30, 20159 yr Having now seen this week's Extra Slice, I am even more convinced that Sandy is really a Victoria Wood character.
August 30, 20159 yr Yes, she was very much the part wasn't she! I'm going to really miss her from this series. :(
September 8, 20159 yr No one even commented they are sorry about Ugne leaving. SUCH RACISM :angry: She was my 2nd fave after Nadiya (who I am glad FINALLY got recognised for her work yassssssss). :( WHAT'S WITH THE VAGICIDE THO
September 9, 20159 yr G'won Mat, star baker *.* He's so improved. Not that fussed with Alvin going either, I was a bit worried for Nadiya :( Thank god her flavours were nice and the idea was there, she just didn't manage to assemble it all!
September 9, 20159 yr I'm gald Nadiya survived. I rally wanted to taste her vol-au-vent fillings. They both sounded lovely.
September 9, 20159 yr Thank goodness Alvin was generally bad throughout the three challenges! I was so worried that Nadiya had blown it. :( Aww at her crying too - what a shame she didn't finish her vol-au-vents in time! By the way, I want to be in this clique: *.*
September 10, 20159 yr Sandiya *.* If Nadiya went and Paul got through to the next week by being as mediocre as he is week after week, I'd have thrown my PC out of the window. Bring Sandy or Marie back and replace one of them with this waste of Baker space. Nadiya's faces blog collection must be ripping at the seams after this episodes. SO many new fabulous addictions! She might actually be becoming my favourite baker in all 3 seasons I've watched the show. It's Tamal's week to win now. DOOO IT!
September 10, 20159 yr Nadiya needs to win please. Hated seeing her cry this week. :'( Edited September 10, 20159 yr by Joe.
September 10, 20159 yr I totally disagree about Paul being mediocre, he's been one of the most consistently great bakers throughout I think. If Nadiya had made that incredible Lion King bread creation the other week, we'd have been raving about it like it was the best thing since sliced bread (har har har).
September 10, 20159 yr When was his other 'great' bake week other than the lion one (and even then he finished bottom in the technical so it was like only an individual bake...)? I struggle to remember any actually. Maybe at the beginning a couple of his individual bakes were good and he was praised by the judges for them but he could never finish the entire week in the contenders for the win. And Bake Off is like go big or go home. At the start he showed promise but lately there was nothing really. Even Alvin was much more exciting and innovative than him. Ha. Paul's technical challenge results: 10th, 10th, 10th, 1st, 2nd. Very consistent indeed :') Now Flora IS a consistently good baker every week. She just needs a bit more OOMPH to elevate her bakes. #PaulToGo byeee
September 10, 20159 yr I just think he's an odd one to pick out really, he's very rarely been in real contention to go (which I'd say Flora definitely has been) which I think says more about his consistency overall than picking out just his technical placings, Nadiya is all over the place when it comes to the technicals but she pulls it out of the bag countless times on the other sections to outweigh this, much like Paul I think. Is he outstanding? No, and his personality is kind of lacking which leaves very little to get behind but I don't think he's been mediocre is more what I'd argue against personally. I thought even his frangipane tart this week looked really impressive, possibly most so of the whole bunch for me. A lot of them, like Flora, are yet to have a "moment" I'd say, which even if it's just one standalone bake, Paul definitely had in that incredible lion bread which is one of the best things I've ever seen on Bake Off. Obviously, they can't keep him on that alone, but I do think he's earned his place here even if he's not greatly interesting as a person.
September 10, 20159 yr I'd say now that Alvin has gone that he is the weakest out of those left and, barring a disaster by one of the other contestants, will probably go next week.
September 16, 20159 yr I'm starting to find myself really wanting Tamal to win more than anybody. Him and Nadiya are my clear top 2.
