The Great British Bake Off


The Naitch

Recommended Posts

Maggie has been lucky to make it this long. Every single time she has opted for a "traditional" or "classic" recipe, but when you do that you have to be absolutely spot on. She never has.

Considering I once forgot to use eggs while making pancakes I have some sympathy for her forgetting to put flower in, but I wasn't on Bake Off at the time!

Well deserved star baker for Chigs. Probably the third best baker so far behind Jurgen (who will surely cruise German week) and Giuseppe. George and Amanda have to be the ones under most threat - the rest have been OK without ever threatening for star baker or being booted out.

I was saying to the wife that Crystelle is going to make it to the final for being completely average. The rest will fall away.

Buzzing G-man* got the win. Jurgen absolutely fizzing [emoji38]

I thought Freya going was a shocker tbh. She hasn't been anywhere near the bottom until this week. George has been pretty shit throughout. Her voice annoyed me and the vegan stuff got boring but I don't think she deserved to go.

* Sorry but I can't spell his name without checking.

I really don’t get the point in having Matt Lucas and Noel fielding on the show or what they are playing at sometimes. Twice in two weeks they have made completely pointless jokes that lead to nowhere. Last week it was some stupid gag with Noel saying he was born without a mouth and then this week Noel made a joke how he was related to the person who invented the kinder egg and the punchline appeared to be” if I was related to him I wouldn’t be here then would I?” What’s the point in having funny men on the show if that’s the sort of jokes that make the edit.

jurgen and Giuseppe are miles ahead of everyone else so far. Chigs and Lizzie are both okay as well.

Noel Fielding has never, ever, ever, ever, ever been funny*. A miracle that the guy is still getting a wage for it. 

Giuseppe's strolling this, Jurgen's the only one keeping pace and the rest are a bit meh. 

*Anyone who says The Mighty Boosh was funny deserves an immediate ban.

Noel Fielding doesn't make me laugh but for some reason I think I would enjoy being in his company in the pub.

I don't know why but Matt Lucas speaking particularly softly when describing what they are baking makes my skin crawl.

Still think it's between Jurgen and Giuseppe but a bad week can always see you go

Think either could serve a hot shite sandwich one week and get away with it, such has been the level of their performance thus far.

Are double elimination weeks still a thing?
