Still sticking with those 3! Apart from disastrous technical, Selasi did really well with the tricky chilli biscuits and his beautiful gingerbread church. Andrew is absolutely adorable and proving to be a real dark horse here. And Candice is full of surprises - did brilliantly with the pub.

Bake Off was Carry On filth last night by the way

And long may it continue. Love a bit of double - or indeed single - entendre.

I'm with you on Selasi, Andrew and Candice. By far my favourites though it is early days.

My favourite bit of filth from last night -

"Can you grab me jugs"

Followed by a close up of Andrew trying to suppress a little grin.

Had to rewind that a few times as it was so funny.

I'm in the minority here but I love Candice (and thought her lippy was on point both weeks).

Sorry Louise left so early as a fellow Cardiffian but she was struggling from the off. It was a close call between her and Val, and save any major disasters by other contestants next week I'm guessing Val will be next to go.

Did anyone notice that Paul chopped up Louise's gingerbread fiance during the judging but then he was whole again when Mel did the 'round-up' with Paul & Mary around the table afterwards?

Andrew's my favourite so far! He did a great job this week, I was surprised he didn't get star baker - but the soft biscuits in the first round let him down a bit.

Val hasn't had a good couple of weeks but unfortunately I think Louise did have to go because her showstopper was a bit of a disaster. When Val said hers had collapsed, too, I was thinking it was the whole thing and if that had been the case she might have gone. But actually hers didn't look as bad as I expected it would after her comment!

Bread week next week which is never my favourite because Paul is even more critical than usual, given that it's his expertise. He adopts a "I know more about this than all of you put together and by God I'll show it" demeanour...

I've been reading these posts and the innuendos are on top form this year I agree! They have even swayed my OH to watch and I hear a little childish snigger often!!

I have been pleasantly surprised by Selasi, I don't know why but just didn't have high hopes for him at the start but he has a nice attitude I can get along with. Although I have to stick with my boy Tom......we literally sweepstake everything at my office and he is my chosen one this year so fingers crossed he doesn't balls it up. Although we did say whoever got Candice will go far seeing as PH loves a nice young lady!

I think there was 2 "grooms" (maybe a groom and a best man?) but I'm sure there were two men in suits.

Ahh that makes more sense!

Wasn't there a vicar?

I felt so sorry for her - especially as I got married on the West Wales coast in a little church like that (well one that was like that SHOULD have been ) Fifteen years ago next week - doesn't time fly when you are eating biscuits

I assumed it was groom plus vicar.

It says a lot about her icing skills that this is being discussed! Even if the roof of her church hadn't fallen in, I think she was still going home.

I hope the real wedding goes better.

Why did so many of the structures collapse? I didn't notice anyone blaming high temperatures as has often been a problem in the tent.

He hasn't been near a pair of jugs since his mum's imv.

I'm guessing the icing or whatever they used to weld the pieces together hadn't set. Might it have been better with roll out fondant or marzipan?

There was obviously a minimum height stipulated as Paul used a rule to measure one of them and we know there was a minimum number of components required. I guess they made the timing such that they knew they'd be under pressure especially as they only had limited oven space and so would have had to do several batches to make all the parts. The contestants would also know they had to go all out as people have been criticised in the past for doing things over simple. Definitely one that favoured the engineer and I bet he'd never have lived it down if he'd failed and gone out on that one . He did have wobbly bikes though.

Looks like more hilarity with structured bread next week, this show is more like Grand Designs these days. Makes for good hold your breath viewing though.

She made me laugh when she said the Statue of Liberty gave up

They ran away together and left the bride in the collapsed church

I think they assembled too late and the icing did not have time to dry out. Next time they need to use 5 second glue. What's a little indigestion compared to a sound gingerbread structure.

Much better, I think, without the seriously irritating Perkins. Mel's very good on her own. Save some money, BBC, and get rid.

Something I've just remembered - those rolling pins with discs on the end to ensure even rolling - genius!

Why have I never seen these before? I need one for rolling out my shortbread!

Didn't Paul say at least 30 cms (12 inches) high?

In a word, no!!

One of them looks like a McGann brother!

I think they should be allowed to bring their own bowls, spoons, equipment etc.

When I made a cake at my parents' I was all at sea without my familiar bits and bobs.

He very probably did, would make sense. We could go mad with the innuendos again

"Paul (or Mary) wanted 12ins"
"Paul put his foot in it"

Ooh Matron stop messing about! "Carry On Bake Off" Good thing nobody was a musician and made a 12ins pianist fnarr fnarr!

OK, why not? What does she add?

I see them as a double act - different yet complementing each other. Mel is funny in a homely, teasing way. Sue has a razor sharp wit (as also seen in other programmes like Supersizers) and is very dexterous verbally.

It's also nice, when there are lots of contestants, to have two presenters milling around them, questioning and commenting.

The idea they would now tamper with the format (for no real reason) is unlikely given the show's phenomenal success in the last few years.
