Week 3 has brought me to these conclusions: I like Noel. I like Matt. I do not like Matt and Noel. I do not want whatever cream mixture that was, in my ear. Hard pass. I haven’t started this season yet, but this does worry me.

Week 3 has brought me to these conclusions: I like Noel. I like Matt. I do not like Matt and Noel. I do not want whatever cream mixture that was, in my ear. Hard pass. I find them boring and a bit awkward together, which is weird because you‘d think it would be great. Perhaps it’s that their weird guy vibe is too similar? I miss Sandi, maybe that’s a UO. I thought she was a much better foil for Noel. There is still time for them to mesh better. I think Laura and Sura are my favorites so far. I like everyone else except maybe Dave. I thought he could have been more gracious about the pineapple upside down cake incident. I get being frustrated after working so hard in a stressful environment, but she was in tears and couldn’t even enjoy her #1 finish, and he had something to present and did fine. His attitude read very, “I’ll say it’s fine but I’ll make it clear via my face that it isn’t” and it put me off. But that’s probably just me rudely judging someone I’ve seen for a few minutes on TV 😬 [\spoiler]

my kid had a doctors appt today right in the middle of her school day, so I opted to keep her home with me (instead of 1.5 hours of class, dr appt, and then 2 more hours).
So tl;dr is that I had to shotgun my Friday Latte Day drink and am now trying really hard to tune her out while I watch this episode

I really like both Marks & Lottie. Do not care for Dave at all.

If that was a room of Americans... those brownies would not have been such a disaster 😂 I really wasn’t sure who they were going to send home!

Really enjoying Lottie this week. She’s so chill no matter what 😂
Linda is very sweet, I like her a lot as well. Her inspiration for her showstopper caught me by surprise ❤️

Do we know why Sandy didn't come back? I was thinking it had to do with the show's quarantine but I think the new guy is here to stay. I like all the hosts they've ever had, including the new guy, but I do miss Sandy.

I like all the hosts they've ever had, including the new guy, but I do miss Sandy. I miss her too. An interview I read said she just had other projects she was working on. I imagine the time commitment for GBBO is much more significant this time because they all have to quarantine together rather than just filming on weekends.

I liked this weeks and I’m sad about who went home.
I like Noel and Matt together, I didn’t think Noel and Sandi were a great pair

Why could nobody make a decent brownie??? Why do British bakers need to add dates into things? Those were not brownies.

Happy Friday!! I know that I cant judge the contestants too harshly from the comfort of my couch, but it never fails to make me laugh when the bakers present something that looks like its been run over by a truck. Some of the eclair decoration was so... something. That said, the show stoppers were incredible 🤩 My favorites are definitely Peter and probably Mark. I have such a spot spot for the young bakers every season. I want to like Lottie but there is something off putting about the constant "i dont know what im doing/this is so horrible" and then it turns out great.

At this point, aside from Dave, I’m going to be sad at who goes home & so freaking excited for who gets star baker 😂 I really like the people this season. Lottie is one of my favorites. She’s so melancholy. She reminds me of Ruby.

Prue checking out Paul's ass after Noel's comment before the first bake has killed me dead.

I really love Laura! Really everyone left is great, though. Those eclairs were sooooo sad, probably one of the worst technical outcomes recently

Those eclairs were sooooo sad, probably one of the worst technical outcomes recently It almost seems like these bakers aren't quite as technical as previous seasons? I don't think the challenges are getting harder- maybe they are giving less instructions and shortening times? Maybe being quarantined for the whole show is a detriment? Something is definitely a little off.

Something is definitely a little off. It's a much more grueling schedule, previous seasons filmed over the course of 12 or 13 weeks with 5 days to go home and practice between shoots. This season is 6 weeks total, so only a couple of days between. The show has also seemed to lean into the very artistic challenges in the seasons since they changed networks, and I think they've taken a bit of a trade off on good technical bakers and more artistic bakers.

Happy Friday!!
Peters sheep steamed buns are giving me so much life today.
Also, Laura saying "... great" during the technical was a huge missed opportunity to say "oh crepe"
