Great British Bake Off 2020

[BonBon27]

We felt the same last night, especially when he asked them to try the last flavour in his cube cake

Oh I know right?!? Again fair play to him that he was confident in what he’d done but chill out mate, you’d already impressed them and got the best feedback. No need to appear to be quite so smug!!

They tried all three of Dave's so I think it was only fair that they tried all three of Peter's.

I love Peter and don't find him annoying, but there was definitely something different about him last night! Me and my flatmate were joking that someone had slipped him a Xanax or some kind of relaxant He was acting very differently to the stressed out Peter from the week before.

Well to be fair, it was all going well for him this week, easy to be relaxed compared to last week when everything went wrong and he nearly went home. I prefer happy relaxed Peter personally.

Seen Laura crying about trolls and hate online again. I personally haven't seen any personal comments, everything is just related to how she shouldn't have made it to the final. I find her so jarring

I think she wants to be a victim almost. The only comments I’ve seen are people saying how is she still in not Hermine - nothing particularly nasty or personal about her. All the contestants have had a degree of ‘nasty comments’ I.e they’re cocky or big headed or look like a serial killer or they’re negative but it’s hard to argue these are trolling more so than just a comment made in passing.

Ive not seen anything too harsh? Unless there are people messaging her direct. People are allowed an opinion

My thoughts exactly... like before when she was talking about trolls... where though??

 

[Enid Swamp]

She is saying repeatedly opinions are fine, vitriol isn’t it. All GBBOs competitors get it, not sure why the consensus here is she’s making it up. And if she got just one shot of tit and it upset her she’s entitled to address it I’d have thought.

 

[50sGirl]

I really don’t understand the Laura hate.
A few weeks ago it was Dave with his “serial killer eyes”.
The judges have said each week that her flavours are great, just the presentation that is lacking.
I’m not really bothered who wins tbh now Marc has gone.

PS it drove me mad that Dave cut all his silicone cube holders, what a waste.

 

[Cupcakeapple]

Hate how they're desperately pushing the narrative of it being so close / more close than other years. None of those bakers in the final would get anywhere near the final in other years.
I'm genuinely annoyed Hermine was robbed.

Yeah that’s annoying me too everyone can see the standard is no where near the levels of last year for example

I've not said she's making it up, I just meant that there's no trolls on this thread and its just pure opinions. About Laura anyway, people have said that Dave has serial killer eyes, im one of them. I didnt mean it in a harsh way, my fella has serial killer eyes

 

[bolimepipi]

maybe she was receiving a lot of hate dm's or something.. hermine posted on her instagram asking people not to bully someone ''in her name'' and stating how important mental health is.

the fact that hermine went home tho....

 

[Cupcakeapple]

I can’t believe Hermine went To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if Laura wins because she can do no wrong in the judges eyes. Obviously it’s not just us viewers that think this because Noel stepped in and said something. I think Laura should have gone home weeks ago before Marc and Lottie definitely she’s not finalist material

 

[Molsdol]

hermine had a shocker of a week though, taste is alot and thats just about what saved Laura. Matt Lucas made me laugh at loud last night but I do find the antics of the two offputting and I'd say its a nightmare work around.

 

[Practically Perfect]

i thinK Peter was just proud as punch as he had a rubbish time last week and he had done so well this week. I dont think it was ego just giddy as a kipper

 

[Wowwwwwwwww]

I reckon Laura is just in her feelings about people saying she doesn’t deserve to be there over others that got the boot.

Trying to justify herself basically under the “bE kiNd” movement.

 

[DigiDuino]

She is definitely getting nasty comments on Twitter, plenty of weight comments especially after last night.

Dave left Twitter because of comments he received, I know bake off is a nice show but people on twitter can be horrible.

All three of them cut their silicone moulds, I think. It was only Peter who didn’t use them.

 

[Enid Swamp]

I assumed she’d be getting some weight based vitriol because people are vile.

She must have been worried about it happening.

 

[DowntoearthDawn]

That's it in a nutshell, in a way she's been fortunate as ever week tnat she's struggled, another baker has produced something inedible and this has saved her, Lottie's ice cream cake, Hermine's showstopper for example.

We are not there, we are not seeing anything unedited and we are not tasting the bakes.

Laura may be messy but so am I when I bake and I can't produce anything as wonderful as she does. I feel a kinship with her when I see her knock stuff over as it's so like me.

Personally I think Peter will win due to his young age and huge talent.

But the tent is hot for everyone, not just her?

Very true. What is strange though, on IG Laura produces beautiful bakes

All three of them cut their silicone moulds, I think. It was only Peter who didn’t use them.

They’re are out of order. Her weight is none of their business.

That's not really strange. She'll have all the time in the world to produce something at home, no production crew or presenters interrupting her, familiar equipment, no pressure etc.
