This year our winner is ....... ELLY !!!!!
But what a nail biter ... by just a single point. And next year there will be a bonus if you pick the overall winner right at the beginning - just like I did this year :) |
Week 8 has certainly mixed up the scores quite a bit - but Elly is still our runaway leader. She'll take some catching now, but it can be done ... just! |
You know what? If someone beats me because of Kim-Joy I won't mind :) |
Yep - Dan has finally gone.
But Briony winning tech AND star baker has really shaken the league table up! V BAD news for everyone who doesn't have her in their team .... which is, er, just me :(
Elly is now our clear leader, but everything to play for after that. |
Oh crap, my points cow has got kicked (though I never liked him, and making a cake that looked like a raw fish - well!). I need to see my score sheet after Ep 6 to see if I dare gamble a substitution. And whether I dare swap Kim-Joy in because she's so sweet (though a bit of a flake). |
Not sure i want a substitute yet though....or do you get one point for them just being in it? |
Just as i was beginning to like (a tiny bit) dan he gets kicked off, it was the first week were he wasnt brilliant, so i was slightly warming to him, he's still smug though. |
Whoo! C'mon Dan you annoying gimp you. In my heart I'm following Kim-Joy though and her galaxy/turtle thing was awesome. The whole melted chocolate theme was insane (must have been a Pratchett reference)
(P.S I think this is an early sprint for me, I'm always near the bottom in the Bakeoff league) |
VERY good week for Elly - and she doesn't even like him !
Brian & Mandy - you didn't send me any substitutes :( |
Kim-Joy *is* priceless - I hope she does really well.
As for Rahul - 2 star bakers in a row ... it's bound to go horribly wrong.
Brian and Mandy - I'm afraid you've lost Antony, so if you are bringing in a substitute (2 point penalty), please mail me before next episode. |
I'm kicking myself for not going for Rahul now. Briony started strong but she's suddenly lost it, damn it. I do have to agree Dan is very annoying though. If I'd picked based on personality I would have gone for Kim-Joy because she is mesmerically weird. That makeup! Those Clothes! That daft voice. Boyfriend works in a comic shop. |
damn i've chosen total duffers, looks like it might be a rahul/dan final, though dan is as dull as ditch water just because he a stay at home dad, it does not make him super dad, and as for that fish he was palming his kids off with in one clip any self respecting kid would be screaming 'im not eating that!' huh |
Please make sure you get your teams to me before episode 3 starts |
