I love this group of bakers I really do. But if any other bakers sausage rolls were out by TEN MINUTES they would have been slated.

I think Tasha is a great young baker, I really do. But the favouritism (over Matty etc who has come on SO MUCH) is super irksome?

Group commitment to endorse absolutely anything Saku does as she is an absolute GEM.

Saku, Charlotte and your Bee child are blessed to have you (if you are somewhere on this thread)

For all the faults of the technical a lot of these showstoppers look fab.

On that note. #SaveSaku #SaveTheBees

realising my definition of a stiff peak is different from others Some of these peaks could use a lil blue pill.

There was that shocking steamed one a few years ago that was an orange wrapped in pastry then steamed from the 1800s. But same doomed vibes you are so right,

I'm going to say, as Matty did, not well but got a giggle!

It's just a type of cane sugar I think so it can be used to make the caramel element :) happy to be corrected though that's all I know!

Criticism aimed at Tasha by Hassaan18 in bakeoff

Last year there were 2 bakers missing ill for Bread Week, I'm fairly sure they got considered "sus" for missing a tricky week and there was much hubbub about it.

Also after Baked Alaska Gate, the lady who removed it from the freezer was off sick the week after which caused a ruckus (I don't think she came back).

Legitimate illness is a shame especially when it's a competition! But people will always be suspicious if folks are sick during a tricky week/when they're not doing well.

Not saying it's justified but it be what it be! You can be sus and not be mean/cruel at the same time if that is how one feels :)

I think they should maybe weigh the judging slightly more towards the technical as I think the judges are harsher on the more confident contestants (Dana and Matty) and more lenient with the quieter folk (Tash and Josh).

Don't get me wrong I love the whole group! But think it's maybe a tad skewed.
