Next week is desserts, with caramel flans for signatures, what looks like sticky toffee pudding for technical and bombs for showstoppers

Thought she had done enough this week actually but yeah, she was the worst left.

The signatures were amusing. Fail.

The guy who's not Dan is quietly proceeding, he might actually win if the women make a mistake given that Dan can't do presentation.
I loved how bad the technical challenge was :lol: I think the last time something went that wrong was the custard tart technical (years and years ago).

I wasn't surprised by who left (ultimately they were the one who struggled the most out of the two who faced elimination), but I did think that perhaps the other person in the running for star baker would have got it.

I thought one of them was going for sure but was in hysterics when I realised how bad all the technicals were. :biggrin:

Hahahha I love the 'guy whose not Dan'
why do I feel like the person who wins is the one who is shown the least on camera in the last few episodes? Just a theory...

Party buffet, nothing specific next. Should be interesting.

Semis next and the strongest 4 are in it. I reckon tasha and josh are guaranteed to be in the finals. No idea who'll join them next
Yep it was pretty clear who the weakest one remaining was tonight imo, same as last week.

Once again I'm loving the challenges especially the caterpillar cakes!

Biased that Dan has 2 bad days yet advances to the semi final. Cristy the wrong baker to go home close between Tasha and Matty. Still rooting for Tasha to win it. And Dan maybe the judges favourite though…

Who do we think is winning? I'm rooting for tasha :smile:
