Loving it  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

What about the people? So glad that Jordan has now gone… I was about to form a club to throw him out!

Didn't like to say, but I'm sure it's just the way he comes across. :unsure: But yes, glad he's gone.

All the others seem OK and I am really enjoying it. In fact I am making pesto and BG feta type bread this morning. With olives. And home made almond and land cress pesto. I had got into a rut with my bread and am now enthused again.

I've not seen one episode yet. Doh!  I don't know how I manage to miss it  :nowink:  Has it been controversial, have there been issues, ructions, upsets, tears?  I hope so  :D

I can't think of anything more stressful than baking under pressure.  Most of my food ends up on the floor during the normal course of events as I'm such a clumsy oaf. I can't imagine what I'd be like with a camera up my nose and millions of folks watching me  :wacko:  They are very brave indeed. Great programme

I see that herself is going to be at Chatsworth fair again. You can't keep a good woman down can you  :D  Hail Mary!   Boom boom  ::)

Very much loving it - I was very keen on the slotted gingerbread dragon from last week.

I'm love this series as i have all others before.  My husband is generally the breadbaker in our house and he watched last night's episode with me.

I know! He gave me the creeps and I'm not entirely sure why....

No custardgate yet ... but Mary had to be steered away from one contestant's bench by Paul because they used shop-bought fondant - oh the look !!!

Yes - loved that about the fondant!

I think this year is a lot more satisfying - I'm not sure if it's the contestants, challenges or just the editing but I'm really enjoying it. I'm normally a big fan but I wasn't overly impressed with last year.

I think the standard of competitor seems a lot better this year as well.

I really like Norman but I think it's more his accent and blatant honesty when he bakes! He doesn't jazz anything up and I think it's great; I don't think he should be penalised for baking normal food excellently, but that's just my tuppence!  :mad:

This is the first series we've watched and are really enjoying it, everyone seems so nice.

What do you make of those funky ovens?
I love the way that the door slips out of the way!
