Who’s watching?
This was so weird, and neither of them made a comment?! (Or did they and I missed it?)I'm freaked out Noel and the jarring Scouse have opposite tops on.
It's unbearable. Hope she goes out first because I can't put up with that for long.I promise I’m not saying this because I’m a Utd fan but, that voice from the Scouser goes right through my fecking head!
They did eventually say something. Then she showed her shoes which had ears and tails. Her shoes. Ears. And tails.This was so weird, and neither of them made a comment?! (Or did they and I missed it?)
On the other side, I hope the German boy goes all the way to the end. He sounds like an Indiana Jones villain but instead of looking for the Grail, he’s making a Swiss roll.It's unbearable. Hope she goes out first because I can't put up with that for long.
The passive aggression in that hand touch after she fluffed the initial task... Ice cold.Prue absolutely hates the old dear contestant
"It means something for me." Jurgen is such a sweetheart.
Can't believe it's taken me this long to figure out where I've seen him before:
Which one is he?How beautiful is Crystelle? Proper hot.
Prue?This one
Yeah, she looks different under the studio lights.Prue?
How beautiful is Crystelle? Proper hot.
Do you remember Ruby from a few years ago?How beautiful is Crystelle? Proper hot.
No, thankfully google does though and it seems there were two Ruby’s. Ruby Tandoh and Ruby Boghal. Ruby Boghal was beautiful.Do you remember Ruby from a few years ago?
The Great British Bake Off (Tuesday, Channel 4) is how Britain likes to see itself. Each year the show presents us with a bunch of polite, eccentric, multicultural craftsfolk in a big tent replete with food, fuel and Union Jack bunting and implies that this is the real Britain. Then we turn on GB News and see the actual citizens of that blighted isle, light-headed with supply shortages and Facebookmemes, sucking Soylent Green from a pipe in the fulfilment centre where everyone works now in the absence of employment law, trade deals or hope.
The real Britain gets Boris Johnson, a prematurely aged toddler pumped full of regret, lies and leaking attic insulation. Bake Off gets the veteran judge Paul Hollywood, his eyes as blue as sadness and his beard as white as an angel’s wing. Johnson’s faithless handshake is like being grazed by some strands of wet hair. Hollywood’s affirming handshake is like being gripped by the full force of your father’s love.
That’s a brilliant write up.GBBO gets an outstanding review in today’s Irish times. My favourite bit…
brilliant. They could also have pointed out that almost every year without fail the minorities are the first to be kicked out.GBBO gets an outstanding review in today’s Irish times. My favourite bit…
I don’t watch GBBO that much but couldn’t they have gone with the opposite? While talented immigrants are being forced out of Britain in this show they usually end up winning!brilliant.

Handshake? I always thought Hollywood opted for the salute.GBBO gets an outstanding review in today’s Irish times. My favourite bit…
he's never been funny, just a fat bellened.Am I in the minority that can’t stand Matt Lucas on this? I just don’t find his humour/skits funny. When he interacts with the contestants it’s just awkward as they wait for him to finish give an awkward laugh as he walks off.

If you are, I'm in it with you. Can't stand the tw*t. Couldn't stand him even back in the days of being on Vic and Bob as George Dawes. Couldn't stand him in Little Britain and I still can't stand him in the GBBO. I really liked Noel with Sandy Toksvig.Am I in the minority that can’t stand Matt Lucas on this?
