September 22, 20169 yr Mary :( Last nail in the coffin of Channel 4's Bake Off. Apparently the BBC offered her some big primetime shows like Mary Berry's Sunday Dinner and Mary Berry's Perfect Christmas so I'm not surprised she stuck with them. I think there could also be a possibility of a new show with her and Mel & Sue if they can work around format issues.
September 22, 20169 yr Author Ugh Jane. She is so unlikable, you can tell she really expected Star Baker and was not happy when Candice got it instead :lol: She probably always wins the village fete baking contest and thinks only she deserves to win Bake Off. I like Andrew though, but Candice and Benjamina are the two I'm really really rooting for. Rav and Tom are definitely lucky that there have been others who've had outright terrible weeks when they've just been meh or forgettable and only properly flopped in one bit, they should be the next two to go but obviously in Bake Off anyone could leap forward and smash next week. Also :( @ Mary, it will not be the same without her.
September 22, 20169 yr Paul Hollywood has signed a deal with Channel 4 :puke2: #TrapPaulHollywood He's basically shown himself to be disloyal and only in it for the "dough" to use Mary and Mel & Sue's words.
September 22, 20169 yr Called it! Of course the weak link out of the four would be the one to stay on :lol:
September 22, 20169 yr I think Paul staying is bad news for the show. The new judge (assuming they stick with two) will be seen as "the junior judge" and will be compared directly with Mary. If they had both gone, it would have been easier for two new judges to establish themselves as a new team. I assume Paul would be well-advised to steer clear of social media for a while.
September 22, 20169 yr Not surprised at either news there. Paul has always been a sleazy c**t and Mary was likely to stay with Mel&Sue
September 22, 20169 yr I'm glad Mary's left, as the loss of both her and Mel & Sue means there's basically no draw for me to actually watch the C4 version. I'm very happy to treat this as the last season.
September 22, 20169 yr Paul was apparently offered a role on Top Gear before he agreed to move to Channel 4. Not really sure what the BBC were thinking there?
September 22, 20169 yr OMG Ruby Tandoh absolutely mauled Paul Hollywood on Twitter! "peacocking manchild lingering wherever the money is" 😅
September 22, 20169 yr I'm not surprised Paul stayed, he's clearly a business man and can see this show's doing well for him so won't wanna jump ship yet (though who knows if he'll last all three series' ;o). A shame, but I'm glad Mary stayed true to herself (plus she's a lot older and doesn't exactly need the money so I couldn't have seen how she'd ever have agreed).

September 22, 20169 yr "It's good to get your hands in and give your sausages a good squeeze". Candice is now the innuendo queen of the bake off. While being a queen full stop 👸🏽
September 22, 20169 yr candice selasi benjamina top 3 u heard it here first Selasi definitely going for that 3rd place despite having never been in contention for SB. The judges always seem to forget him.
