I know they’re my words. I was exploring what you may have meant. And apparently did not get it right. Which is fine?

Depending on where in London he lives, he would possibly also have to put his house on the market and move somewhere with no other Cypriots!Yeah, it was absolute cringe. Only to be surpassed if George lost out to a Turk on Greek week

Kim Joy is someone I never warmed to. Always looked smug and then burst into tears the first time someone said something less than glowing about a bake.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I didn’t like how she received criticism with all the seemingly blasé “yeah-yeahs” and “got its” when something wasn’t baked right or whatever. Have a little more grace speaking to people 1) that are professionals and 2) X times your age.I felt a bit sad Freya went. She's been pretty good up until this week whereas George has been 'circling the drain' for a little while. She was obviously devastated too
She still did good though.

Oh man, I love Kim-Joy! I think it was the space turtles and she generally cutsie bakes she did.Kim Joy is someone I never warmed to. Always looked smug and then burst into tears the first time someone said something less than glowing about a bake.
Feel like such an odd one out here but I’m not warming to Jurgen at all!
I think Freya did quite well and she’s flown the flag for vegan baking which I’m sure is a plus for her!
I totally agree! And dare I say it maybe some new presenters (I don’t think Noel and Matt work at all) and get rid of Paul? I don’t know if this will be popular but I quite like Andi Oliver when I see her on baking programs. I can’t decide if she would work out best as a judge or host.
Does anyone know why Noel left?

I love Baklava but no one else in my family likes it! What other nationalities are there?I have a similar background to Crystelle and can only think of about 3 things you coulddo, so they probably won't choose her!

If George messes up the baklava he’s gotta be out, surelySurely that would advantage George?
I’m guessing baklava will be the technical challenge, but not sure?

God I hope they don't get them to make filo from scratch! I seem to remember someone doing that on ce. Not sure if they had to!If George messes up the baklava he’s gotta be out, surely

I'm still trying to get Portuguese tarts that I wanted last week. Other half came back from the shops with apricot crowns.
I will have to get my fat arse off the sofa and go hunting for them myself.

I’m late to the chat, but I loved the homage to Kraftwerk. It was inspired and surely an affectionate nod to their genius.

I didn’t fancy any German treats last week so we had baklava instead! Close enough country wiseI think I saw someone make baklava so that’s what we’ve gone for
my geography was always terrible!

I'm debating making an apple or rhubarb tart, but I prefer crumble.
