Great British Bake Off

[Mark]

I'm still trying to catch up with this, think I'm about 4 weeks behind.

[Redknapp69]

I detest Noel Fielding so give it a miss (if you're talking about the C4 programme)

This still stands true

[Mark]

Who's watching?

[ebfatz]

I'm in.

I'm also doing fantasybackoff.co.uk and I was way clear by this stage last year.
Haven't got a single point so far this. Although they do keep changing it up. Points weren't allocated because no one left this week. They had a bonus point last week for someone dropping something on the floor and no one did.

Rahul flying so far but can't see him winning it. Dan or Ruby I think.

[Redknapp69]

negative - watch sport and not much else these days at the mo!

[Dermotron]

Couldn't play football with the French one, "man on Manon"

[Mark]

Thought she was going out last night actually.

[Dermotron]

Any other week she would have. But if they want to keep some integrity that it's a week to week basis, Dan had to go. All his bakes were awful.

[Mark]

Yup, can't argue with that.

They are meaningless now.

[Mark]

Haha, I did wonder if he'd been giving them out too often!

Plus, he gave one for a showstopper for the very first time as well!

[Dermotron]

Like him or loathe him, Channel 4 brought the most important member of the old cast with them. I think they are just generating a new gimmick to freshen things up a little.

I don't really get Noel's humour most of the time (that's not to say I dislike him) but the contestant's seem to enjoy him being there. Hell, he seems to love being there!




I only watch it on the CH4 Player, so does it feel the same watching it with adverts?

[ebfatz]

I still don't think Noel has a clue how he got the gig so is just enjoying it while he can!

[Mark]

I record it, so I skip the adverts anyway!

Yeah, Noel hasn't got a clue It's not about the presenters anyhow!

[Dermotron]

Harsh on

Spoiler!

Manon. Raoul

was defintely worse. Last in 2 and 4th in the show stopper, gotta go

[Mark]

Caught up again from last week and this week. Manon was definitely hard done by, wasn't she? Shame, I quite liked her. Looked pretty fit on the after show too

Rahul has had two poor weeks now imo. He set the bar so high early on that I don't think he's quite matched it since.

Ruby has come on in leaps and bounds though.

[Dermotron]

Anyone reckon Briony has stuck the thumb in her husbands ass?

[ebfatz]

Arguably Rahul should have gone the last two weeks.
Probably just about got away with it this week but last he definitely should have gone!

[Mark]

So Rahul wins it this year!

I thought Kim-Joy could have won it if she had got the showstopper right. Rahul did poor leading up to it. Capped it off when that glass exploded

[Dermotron]

Yeah Kim-Joy's showstopper cost her. Rahul's was very good but the baking seemed to be top class.

Rahul has been a big punt to be on I'm a Celebrity

[Mark]

Jeez, he would not cope with that! Doesn't seem very comfortable in a social environment to me!

[Dermotron]

Hollywood hand picked the women this year anyhow . . .

[ebfatz]

I can't work out whether Steph is attractive or has a weird shaped face.
I think it's the latter.

In Hollywood's defence, Alice is hot!!

[Mark]

Surprised to see Steph didn't win it after picking up star baker four times! She just fell apart in the final.
