Didn't expect the rolls to have sugar in, but might genuinely try making some mini ones!

It's amusing how difficult some bread actually is to make, not something you really realize.

star baker is who I expected.

the person who is eliminated is someone who stuggled a lot this week and kinda suspected it after the 1st day.

next week's chocolate week.

looks like tortes are signature, cheescakes are technicals and chocolate boxes are the showstoppers.

also looks like spoiler may get injusred next week

I was surprised how bad Dan did, he was probably the strongest for the first two weeks.

Tasha fought back in the second week so it’s balanced but I think these two will definitely be in the final

Not sure about meals but you can glean the challenges from the preview at the end of each week's episode.

OK. Signatures looked underwhelming and technicals seem interesting, especially as Spoiler had to take a break

spoiler got star baker...and it wasnt who I expected. The elimination result was expected.

Pastry week is next week with high stakes.
Signature is a steamed dessert. pie showstopper and pithivier technical
