September 4, 20195 yr thank f*** Why? I liked Jamie. He deserved to go, but I see no reason to celebrate. He's clearly a lot better than his performance suggests; he wouldn't have made it on to the show otherwise.
September 4, 20195 yr Was worried that Helena would be out after that disastrous blind bake, but she knocked it out of the park with that spider-tastic Show Stopper. Hope she's got a few more tricks up her gothy sleeves.
September 4, 20195 yr I must admit Jamie's the first contestant where it had me cynically wondering if his cooking skills were the only reason he was there. He seemed quite a bit below the usual standard even for someone that leaves early. Helena's Spider sculpture was incredible :wub: Did love the sheep and the chicken as well (though I'm struggling to warm to Rosie).
September 4, 20195 yr the judges said a few times that jamie’s bakes were tasty, they just lacked finesse. he looked like he knew what he was doing, he just didn’t have the same fire as the rest of them - if he couldn’t bake, they’d say so.
September 4, 20195 yr I must admit Jamie's the first contestant where it had me cynically wondering if his cooking skills were the only reason he was there. He seemed quite a bit below the usual standard even for someone that leaves early. I hope you're wrong. I wouldn't want to see Bake Off choosing people because of their personality rather than their baking skills. After all, the idea that baking skills might be less important when selecting contestants was one of the reasons people were uneasy about the move to a commercial channel.
September 4, 20195 yr If they chose Jamie for that reason he’d have went a lot further than week 2! He was good to be fair it’s just the pressure gets to some more than it does others. Bread week next week. Am I right in thinking the bread week star baker usually makes the final
September 5, 20195 yr Why? I liked Jamie. He deserved to go, but I see no reason to celebrate. He's clearly a lot better than his performance suggests; he wouldn't have made it on to the show otherwise. i wasn't 'celebrating' though. just a sigh of relief the correct decision was made and tbh he should've gone in the first episode. i liked Dan far more
September 10, 20195 yr David seems to get more smug by the episode... At this stage Henry is my fave and I like Priya and Alice too
September 10, 20195 yr Yeah that was a deserved exit this week, she was by far the weakest. Two weeks in a row where it's been impossible to hide even with editing.
September 10, 20195 yr 100%, she was very lucky last week that Jamie managed to stretch another week and thus was a bit worse. Henry is pulling away as my fave, he's too adorable with his reactions to things and the faces he pulls. I also love Priya, on the other end of the scale smug David and Rosie can go right now. Idek why I don't like Rosie, she's not done anything really but she's so irritating and I can't really even put my finger on why :lol:
September 10, 20195 yr Rosie is really annoying. Michael my favourite from the early weeks, maybe it's because the ages are so similar but doesn't seem much to be differentiating them this year, most of the women just blend into one.
September 10, 20195 yr David I don’t really see the smug thing about. Rosie I can sort of see it. I think she low key looks down on some of the others but tries to come across as being modest when discussing her bakes. She reminds me of someone I worked with when I worked with Jet 2.
