And the person leaving the tent is… Maisam!
Scott Bryan
That’s a surprise.
Happy for Rebs, but really thought Maisam was going to stay in the tent. The only major flaw in Maisam’s Showstopper was that she finished early.
Perhaps Rebs got through because she came first in the technical, but then again the cynic in me always felt that coming first in the technical doesn’t mean that much anyway.
Sorry for Maisam, but she has been a joy in the tent so far and I hope that she doesn’t see her departure as too much of a setback.
And next week on Bake Off … PIZZAS!
*PING* Speaking of … mine is ready.
Thanks so much for reading and see you lovely lot all next week.
Star Baker is… Maxy!
Scott Bryan
Thrilled for her. Deserved.

Paul likes “the taste of her ginger biscuit.” The only criticism by them is that Dawn’s mask doesn’t have eyes.
Janusz’s bake deserves to be in the Tate Modern.
Carole has been told that the lard made her bake fall apart, but received compliments for the taste. She could be leaving this week if Rebs knocks hers out of the park.
And Maisam receives praise, but is warned that they wanted to see a bit more. I personally think she’s got through this week.
Here’s a montage of how the bakers have done this week. Exceptional work, really…

Brandy snaps in Kevin’s bake. He’s Scottish, you know. Didn’t I tell you?
Abdul’s bake is stunning and so are so many others this week. The standard this week is exceptionally good.
Maxy’s bake is “really beautiful” according to Prue. Not an opinion, just a fact.

I don’t know about you, but I get a sense that James likes to watch horror films in his spare time.

Syabira has got great reviews, so she’ll be through to next week in a snap.
And now it is time for the Showstopper Judging! AND OH GOD they have to carry their biscuit sculptures to the front of the tent.
Scott Bryan
They want them to fail at this point, don’t they?
Scott Bryan
this is very much the case.
who are everyone’s favourites so far?
Scott Bryan
This. Tension. Music. Is. Killing. Me.
OH NO! Compost Carole’s biscuit has managed to sink through the stand. Clearly because the lard made it heavy … Too much lard. I’m gutted and she’s crying.
“It’s still beautiful and it still looks amazing,” says Noel. His comfort is a great thing, but Carole is right too. With only five minutes to go there’s not much she can do.

Carole: “Please stay together” – me in front of the mirror every morning.
Scott Bryan
Maisam is completely finished with 30 minutes to go. Another completely nightmare-ish form of anxiety. I’d rather be Rebs at this point if I am honest.
