Charlottechicken Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Must admit the double entendres I've noticed have not been too bad, but I've seen some quotes which I have obviously missed completely. Depends what you focus on when you watch it I suppose, and I'm focusing on the food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Oh the Baileys, the Baileys! I'm all for that one! Bet Mary had all those! This is a programme that OH has recorded - but he seems to sleep through most of it, but he soon woke up when I howled at Mary's reaction to those alcoholic doughnuts!

Mrs Webmuppet Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I thought I'd have a go at the mini pear pies from the programme, except in taking all day instead an impossibly short space of time. The pears are from the garden.....I've got loads so if it works it might be another way of using up a pear mountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Difficult... But I think Nancy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't know who will go. So very close. The cake they are making right now, the Baumkuchen, I've seen made on tv before like the one Mel 'helped' make, love her but never in a tin. Must give it a go......maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think it was a close call between Nancy and Chetna. Would have liked to see Luis make star baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I was surprised she went too. I also think Luis should have been star baker this week. His cakes were beautiful, unlike his gaudy eclairs the other week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I was convinced that Nancy would walk. It was so close between Luis and Richard though, the final should be good. It has to be between Luis and Richard, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm not surprised Chetna went. Her baklava didn't look that great to be honest, and her entremets were a bit messy. It's a shame though, as up to now I think she has actually been quite underrated. I though Luis should have been star baker this week too. I reckon the final will be a close call between Luis and Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I would love Nancy to pull it out of the bag, I love her humour and energy, and her accent. If not then Richard for me, I love his cute little patted on the head smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I like Nancy too. Luis gets on my nerves a bit. He is certain that he is going to win. Nancy or Richard for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 To win.......Oh please, oh please, oh please, RICHARD! He has been consistently 'up there'....not always tops but rated and is very unassuming and down to earth (imho ) Nancy has been all over the place....I was really surprised that it was Chetna to go and not Nancy last week but, heyho, we don't get to taste the bakes! Luis is always the bridesmaid and never the bride......just seems to miss the top slot as the judges are complimentary but there seems to be a 'but' every week tho his attention to detail is great! Richard, for me, is always that bit more modest and chuffed when he gets it right It will be a nail biting final, for sure, on Wednesday! Edge of seat/gin and tonic/ hankies at the ready etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Final tonight From GBBO website: It's the final... from thousands of applicants just 12 bakers made it to the tent, and now only three remain. Having fought their way through 27 baking challenges and proved they can master every baking discipline known to man, the remaining three bakers have just one more weekend of baking to tackle. Just three challenges lie between them and the trophy. And what a trio of challenges they are. A signature challenge that requires the mastery of a classic pastry technique that normally takes a day - in just three hours; a technical challenge that tests them beyond everything they have tackled in the previous nine weeks by requiring them to master the basics - with no recipe; and a final show-stopper challenge that demands delivery of perfect sponge, caramel, choux pastry and petit four in their final five hours in the Bake Off tent. Each one is worthy, but who will be crowned winner of the Great British Bake Off? For the final time, on your marks, get set... bake!

mullethunter Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It's gotta be Richard - but then I've been wrong every time so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Think it will be Richard too, but I would love to see Nancy or Luis win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Given the number of Star Baker awards he has....has to be Richard purely for consistency! IMHO will be a two horse race between Richard and Luis but hope Richard has the edge (sorry, Luis!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 It does look like a two horse race, so I'm hoping Nancy does something spectacular, just to show she deserves to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Does look like it will be right up to the wire doesn't it! Poor Richard, he hasn't had a good round so far. Nancy is looking very confident though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
