So

Michael

is making the final after winning bread week? :funky:

Julia never made it to the final.

Noel's shirt is a bit of a head fcuk - all fuzzy if you stare at it for too long

 

...also Henry's reaction to Michael's cake being a mess are hilarious

Another week, another awesome Noel Fielding shirt that I want. If any if BJ's more fashionable members know where I can get that lovely green shirt, please let me know.

Phil sacrificed for Priya and Michael

 

tbh just here for Henry and his reactions to everything

Edited September 17, 20196 yr by ElectroBoy

Glad we got to keep Priya over Phil! Neither are winners but Phil's bakes have never wowed me. Interesting to see a look of surprise at going home as nearly all these Brits are convinced they are going home each week.

To survive when her technical was so bad that neither judge bothered to taste it was quite an achievement. At least Michael's signature tasted good despite looking a mess. All the more reason for not liking his comment that he would have binned it if he was making it at home. Why bin something that is perfectly edible?

 

Now for the discussion about Henry's balls.

Phil was shocked!!

 

To be fair so was I.

 

Priya and Michael had bad weeks but the final challenge sort of played as a strength to them due to their heritage.

 

This was one of those weeks for me though where hardly anything looked appetising to eat :lol:

Priya's technical was an absolute disaster, I didn't think her showstopper was gonna be enough to come back from that (I thought she was gonna have to totally knock it out of the park to stay), but I'm glad it was!

 

Then again, basically everyone did bad in the technical so they did say a lot of them were in the mix to go depending on the Showstopper. Phil is one of those I kept forgetting was there so from a viewing standpoint I can't say he's too much of a loss.

His shock that he was going home though lmao. He coasted through on being too bland and safe, I'd say week 4 is perfectly fine for him whereas Priya and Michael have both had fantastic bakes before this week so the potential for them to stay was far more beneficial to the show.

 

Henry solidified himself as my absolute fave today. My heart melted quicker than his Ice Cream was going to when it was clear what was going to happen to it </3 Thankfully he was top 3 in the technical and (I assume) signature challenges so he could afford the poor effort for the showstopper - at least he took a risk though! He'll be the contestant where he won't get star baker for a while, but will absolutely smash it out the park one week, to the joy of pretty much everyone and then go the week after in the quarter final or something :lol:

 

I don't actually "hate" anyone this year tbh. Not even David. He seems arrogant, but it isn't quite as unbearable as Steven from a couple of years ago.. yet. Rosie is irritating, but her nervous laugh is adorable.. pretty much the only thing going for her though tbf.

That’s a good point about Phil to be fair!

 

Like he’s been constantly ok throughout the whole thing. I’ve never had him down as having a bad bake where he could be in danger but then on the other side of things he’s never been in the running for star baker either.

 

He reminds me of someone that’s been on it before a few seasons ago it may have been a BBC series. He liked shortbread biscuits and the judges kept saying all his bakes were nice but plain.

I STAN *.*

Love the episode, especially the bit about Henry's balls :lol:

 

On the whole it was disaster of a show all round I was surprised it wasn't a double elimination to be honest.

 

My favourite contestants seem to be Steph and Alice. I do hate Michael though, Henry should stop wearing ties :lol: seriously do you cook or bake with a tie on. :mellow:

Another week, another over-reliance on the showstopper.

 

I do prefer Priya but they ddn’t even taste a round! The older contestants are always quicker out the door if they’re slight whiff of danger. It should have been Priya or Michael.

It should've been a double really. I can't argue a lot with Phil going as he wasn't spectacular and he didn't really try to step outside his comfort zone or anything, but Priya is extremely lucky, taking all three bakes into account, she was clearly right at the bottom. Gonna be tougher the later they wait as we could well lose someone that was very good on a later week.

I really hated that comment as well, how wasteful some people can be :/

Obviously most situations unnecessary food wastage is bad, but considering he made 10 of them he probably didn't have any more to give out to friends and family!

"Tentacles, I almost said Testicles" :mellow: :lol:

Love Helena... plus I have her in the work sweepstake :D

 

Michael is doing my head in; way too much of a wet blanket - he's verging on Rahul territory this week.

 

Henry :wub:

Nah how is Helena gonna win the technical then go, yet Rosie did basically nothing right and it was fine

How the hell is Priya still there!
