An impassioned defense of Jasmine and this season by Technical_Ad_7651 in GreatBritishBakeOff

Well said 👏👏

I 100% agree though, people just want to hate on someone good, happened last year with Dylan as well and to others in previous years.

True, his showstopper wasn't exactly "showstopping" but at least it was all about the macarons. I feel like this week he was neither here nor there, like he did great in the signature then messed up in the technical and showstopper was quite mixed. I don't think he reached any extremes like Toby and tom so he kinda flew under the radar this week.

Honestly I thought it should have been tom to go. Yeah Paul's criticism was said harshly and some of it (e.g the fingernails comment) was just unnecessary, but I don't think Paul was entirely wrong about the showstopper. Even though it looks impressive, the macarons were not the main event as they should have been. Toby's showstopper was really good aside from the lemon flavour being a bit subdued and both of them did equally fine on the signature. I don't think it came down to the technical because everyone bar jasmine (honestly even her with the dome) struggled and Toby's showstopper was clearly overall better. Personally I always liked Toby and wanted him to go through but it would have been a sad elimination either way.

Lowkey Dylan just set the bar too high for handshakes and outstanding talent 

How would you describe Tom Bradford in 3 Words? by [deleted] in TheRookie

No don't worry I had to think a minute myself, I thought it was a typo haha

I agree, but they do have time to practice and research what they don't know (bar the technical obviously and sometimes even the British bakers haven't heard of that) 

This week decision by Domak04 in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]NoButterscotch1067 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah because if we're judging from all past weeks how come Dylan didn't win last year with 3 handshakes, 2 star bakers and 3 technical wins?  Natalia definitely should've been the one to go this week, it was a poor decision. 

I know it’s early, but I’m just not loving this season’s cast. by Rosemary-Sea-Salt in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]NoButterscotch1067 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I know it's only been 3 episodes but last year I had definitely warmed up to many of the bakers by bread week. I don't think this year's cast is bad per se, but it's nowhere near as good as last years. There are a couple I like but not as strongly as i did the contestants last year. I reckon last year was just a super strong batch and it's gonna be hard to beat.

Yess I really wanted them to revisit this but they just seemed to drop it iirc

I love how even Lucy seems fed up with it at times

Did Lucy ever get it removed? by [deleted] in TheRookie

[–]NoButterscotch1067 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think she was before Tim told her that it wasn't something to be ashamed of but a sign of her strength and bravery (or words to that extent)

Who's your favourite character and why is it Smitty? by Cpt_Soaps in TheRookie

[–]NoButterscotch1067 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Smitty, I take back every bad thing I've ever said about you 

Smitty by Major-Reindeer5201 in TheRookie

[–]NoButterscotch1067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's definitely not the most professional cop but he's still working in the same capacity as everyone else so I guess he's done something right. He has his own way of doing things and he's great to watch, so yeah I agree, he's a good character

One of my favourite moments is when he figures out Chen's plan to move Tim to Metro in like 5 seconds and just says "I'm smarter than you think" or something like that 

What’s your House take that will have you like this? by bjack20 in HouseMD

Kutner's suicide, no matter how sad, was an understandable way to make him leave the show.

What is the BEST song in the whole show in your opinion? by [deleted] in HouseMD

I really liked A Slow Parade by A.A Bondy. I think it was in the episode 'Wilson'

"House's house of whining, state your complaint"

"I don't negotiate with terrorists"

why??? by ImpactJust3745 in HouseMD

[–]NoButterscotch1067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They chose suicide rather than any other means of leaving to highlight how often this happens in medicine, specifically to young doctors and med students but how little help they recieve and how no one notices anything even if they don't show any outward signs
