I think he should've rolled with the exploding jar. That's not a glass shard in your cake, it's a prize!
I can buy in to the producers being in the tank for Rahul, though it's not super objectionable because he has the chops.
I think Ruby really was stroppy for stealing Kim Joy's mojo; but seriously KJ, did she even have a single animal in the last bake?

have you watched Liam Bakes? he's quite a natural but i do wonder how he isn't 20+ stone given the stuff he's been baking on that. they've also urbaned it up somewhat, graffiti everywhere, public enemy soundtrack...

this show needs to have less impossibly beautiful people as contestants. I cant focus on anything.

went to guaridan to look for the article on kim joy that ailsa originally posted:https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/nov/12/i-was-preety-much-mute-at-school-the-bake-offs-kim-joy - the one which does away with my notion that she's too whimiscal to survive in the world
and found this
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2018/dec/11/kim-joy-bake-off-guide-to-a-very-edible-christmas-baking-recipes
which includes the sentence "My partner, Nabil, wanted to eat it straight away, but I had to take it outside and hold it over a hedge to photograph it"

elsewhere, nadiya's just back from thailand and nepal and cambodia for a two-part bbc thing, which was interesting and nothing i could see raoul doing.

My favorite bit:
Val: Of course, it may be difficult this year because it was a very intensive course, wasn't it, Selasi? You didn't have much time to come home. Last year we met twice. And we all did Candice [Brown]’s wedding in the summer, in France, who won [our season of Bake Off]. Selasi, because he was already in Europe, came on his motorbike. You made chocolates, and we all made wedding cakes.Beck: You all made wedding cakes?Val: Yes.Selasi and Val (left) at the wedding of their fellow contestant. Courtesy of Val Stones.Beck: That's a lot of wedding cakes.Val: She had 11 wedding cakes.

Paul Hollywood saying "simplistic" when he means "simple" is already getting on my bloody nerves. He's said it three times this episode.

dan bun gone
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 27 August 2019 20:27 (four years ago) link
dan bun turned out, about 20 seconds after i mocked him, to be a good human being and not the hipster i took him for so was i sad to see him go.
― koogs, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 21:57 (four years ago) link
Also Jamie was utterly terrible and should have gone, but he's clearly the Liam so we have to keep him.
Why's there no lovable granny figure this year? It's all very youthful.

we got a goth instead tbf

frosted tip guy having an identical twin with equally egregious hair blew my mind - how do you look at someone who looks just like you resembling the least popular member of o-town and not rethink your entire life
― Gareth Jones, Godzilla’s assistant (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 1 September 2019 15:25 (four years ago) link
yeah, I was trying to figure out which c-tier boyband fanbase they were appealing to with keeping him on. O-Town it is!

He could play a young version of Paul Hollywood.

I’m watching the repeat and Frosted Jamie did manage a good first bake, but Dan Bun didn’t.

does the goth baker have a spanish accent going on as well, i cant quite place italready strongly disslike David the HealthNut who goes trampolining & puts squash in his fruitcakes lol’d at the Faraway Tree convo & Noel’s “my whole career has been inspired by Moonface” or something to that effect

This series will be the first I've watched since I started baking, so I'm definitely excited for that!
I was calling Jamie N*Sync, but that may be giving him too much credit.
I'm here for the goth jokes AND Noel's baking doppelganger. (That both Michelle and Helena have jet black hair probably explains why I initially thought that Helena speaks with a regional British accent.)
