Dan does brilliant food but tends to fail on the visual.

Tasha is either very good or not at all but she's made anyway at this stage, like Nadya.

The bloke who won last week is not all that good but perhaps he can turn up at the right time.

The little bloke is basically a silent assassin. I think the judges have been very impressed and I can see him winning.
I need to catch up on this :smile: weeks behind :redface:

Bakers are burning cooking Financiers to start, clearly a French invention.

Its the Italian variation millefoglia (still means the same thing, except it has 4 layers of pastry)

Based on how they performed in the 1st challenge, it was obvious who would get eliminated.
Their pastry technique for the showstopper was great however but they really had a bad week this week

So annoyed they haven't shown preview for what courses they're baking.

I reckon josh will win.

My mum wants Dan to win however

I think it was sadly fairly obvious who was going home, and Star Baker was very deserved once again!

I also think that Josh will win. The other two are hit and miss so even if they are very good next week, they'd have to go for overall performance.

Showstopper - Tiered Celebration Cake.

Josh likely won the first two rounds but Matty may have won the showstopper.

Who will win the big prize.

Ultimately came down to timing, he peaked when he needed to.
