I really can't see me watching it when it moves.

It'll be bake off in name only.

Is everyone looking forward to Tudor week?

Snoopy1

Tudor week is my least favourite. I like seeing the pies, but I never find the show stoppers amazing

Stuck in work, so will have to catch up when i get home later

Maybe they'll do a medieval diseases showstopper - typhoid hors d'oeuvres, dysentery macarons, smallpox cupcakes... the possibilities are endless

And............Bake !!!!:)

...oh Candace!

Scarinae

I predict Selasi to go (and possibly public riots...), and Jane to get star baker

Red Kev

So this is a quarter finals. Jesus, that went fast.

I've got a box of Macarons from Lidl, €2.99 for 12. Chocolate, Raspberry, Coffee and Pistachio.

Yes, it's mass produced cheap food, but they're bloody good for the money.

Ooh Candice is pulling out all the stops.......will it work though......hhhhmmmmm????

Which one do you think is which?

Andrew is ginger spice of course... Candice wants to be posh

Selasi is hot spice.

Mary loved Janes! Have to say they all do nothing for me, don't thing I could eat one. (Any of the pies to be honest), bring back cake!

Selasi must be Relatively Sporty Spice, Benjamina is Baby-faced Spice and nobody seems particularly Scary so by default I guess that makes Jane... Old Spice?

It's so good, I loved it too!

Jum-what?? They look a bit like Danish butter cookies to me.

wyrn

I love pies. I am salivating over them except Candice's one with Oyster, yuck!

Scarinae

Andrew with that pestle and mortar

"I just lost the tip".......said the Tudor leper to the Tudor lady of ill repute.

Loving Mel and Sue tonight, it's really such a shame this is the last season with them.

The jousters looked very, eh, excited

RosyLily

The peacock looks brilliant!! Did Nadiya do something similar last year?

Birdsong

Don't like all the greenery on around candices peacock

pc7

Think Benjamina or Selasi in trouble, candice will get star i reckon

yogibear77

Meh.....candice

SmallTeapot

What! Benjamina is going home! :O


(Nooooo! I wanted her to win )

RosyLily

Aw not Benjamina!!!!:(

yogibear77

Well feck that anyway

wyrn

Whaaaaaaaaat? No way, she should have stayed. Selasi got away again this week

Meauldsegosha

Surprised at that result, really thought Selasi would go.

Only two more shows of GBBO (as we know and love it) left.

Wanderer41

Disappointed with who is going this week

messy tessy

Devastated for Benjamina, thought she'd be in the final for sure

Red Kev

Benjamina going home was the right decision. She's been good all series, but was the worst this week.

It's harsh, but thems the rules. Happened earlier in the series as well with Kate.

Tasden

Really disappointed for her. Thought she'd win it. She's been wonderful throughout.

RosyLily

I definitely thought Selasi was going home. I'll miss Benjamina.....loved her filled Yorkshire puds and mini mousse cakes.

Surely Candice's to lose now. Jane is probably her closest rival.

RhubarbCrumble

Can't believe Benjamina is gone. She was my favourite since week one. Gutted

yogibear77

Jane all the way. She really did well this week. Thought she would get star baker

Toto Wolfcastle

Jane reminds me of Clare Balding. I think that's part of why I don't like her.

Glad Selasi made it through but I'm sad that Benjamina is gone.

Scarinae

I'm still laughing at this

I was hoping for it too and definitely not Candice. But last in technical won't win you Star Baker.

I thought Andrew's jousters looked more like:

A lot of people don't watch those shows, I've watched neither I just watch the regular show.

Yeah I don't watch the professional version either, or extra slice. Nobody I know that watches Bake Off watched them either.
