i#ve never liked P Hollywood but i can't bear him this year he's even more insufferable than usual
Yes agree. I've worked with someone who tried to bully and was far far worse as was my ex too. I think I'd just laugh at him, good job I have no ambitions to be on GBBO.
Sorry but I am really quite annoyed that Ruby got star baker for the 2lots of dross she produced. The shed looked like it had been sat on. Favouritism for Ruby I am feeling...disgusting.

Do you think she is possibly???
With Hollywood's track record I suppose it's feasible
I actually think this is a great idea but it would mean the judges not seeing any of the baking at all, so I'm not sure the show would really work.
Different room. Don't let them taste the technical bakes in front of the judges. They only have to take one look at the contestants' faces to know who bakes what. The whole "blind judging" is a bit of a joke.
Ruby's cake looked the least professional out of them all, ok there was a lot of technique in it but Christine made her own fondant etc.. which was more than the others so I'm disappointed that they seemed to place less emphasis on that and it does seem like they're grooming ruby. However, I would not be at all surprised if ruby goes next week, there hasn't really been a 'shock' and I think she might mess up and go (or maybe it's wishful thinking as I simply cannot stand the whole 'it's so rubbish, I'm awful' winging) Still think Kimberley will win even though Beca is my favourite
I've watched tonight's GBBO. What has come over Mary Berry when she praised Ruby's efforts on the last cake she baked?! I'm beginning to understand why Ruby is constantly criticised as I find her woe-is-upon-me attitude quite annoying. As for Paul Hollywood, he's also turning me off big time...:mad:
I think ruby realises she does the woe is me too much, so she has made an effort to stop. A winner needs humbleness but she needs to also be strong IMO.

Beca's my favourite too and hopefully she's learned her lesson about testing cakes before the day.
I think the whole episode was ridiculous really. It's why we don't make cakes with vegetables all the time, they don't taste as good and so, for a show where it's all about the taste, it was a bit of a waste of time imo.
As none of us are there actually seeing the food and, more importantly tasting it, how can we say the judges are wrong?
Well because for a start you could actually see that Ruby's chocolate wasn't tempered properly, it was dull and cloudy, it should have been shiny and rich looking, yet Mary said it was tempered beautifully.

Veg cakes can and do taste really nice when cooked well, like most baked products. And to me, they count more as a cake and a worthwhile test of baking skills than a couple of bits of meringue drenched in icing.

(excuse me folks, I'm going to get a bit shouty)
The winner is going to be the one who bakes best in the final. Everything else is irrelevant.
IT'S A BAKING CONTEST NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST.
The fact Ruby appears to be surviving despite the pitchfork-and-torch waving mobs on the internet is, if anything, a proof that the conspiracy theories are wrong. if the producers were fixing the show to maximise later income, wouldn't they make sure the most popular one won, rather than the one half the internet want thrown down a well?
Unless you also believe the producers are attempting to scuttle the good ship GBBO because it's become too popular or something and they want people to go watch something else.

I always feel hes trying to live up to the character of 'Simon Cowell of baking' which is really annoying
/facepalm.
Shame Christine went
It is, but there are 4 people who do taste them, and if any one of them disagreed with the others, we know they're not afraid to say so.

This week's show should have been sponsored by Kleenex.
I like her, too. She is creative and takes risks. I can't taste the food, so my eyes are sitting at the table as well.
At least Ruby can bake whereas the Winkers could not cook a thing. She deserves to still be in, but has certainly been praised excessively.

Oh yes. Under proved and under cooked, but that didn't get mentioned at the end. I do wonder if it's a collusion between Paul and the director.

Oh god, the first picture (of Ruby). LOL!

Give me strength, let alone Ruby.
