A hardy FUCK 2020 indeed. http://instagram.com/p/CHIPVHSAdna Apparently it was of esophageal cancer, following thanking doctors for giving him more time than they thought possible. He was one of the good ones.

I just read that this morning. He was only 48!?!?! Holy shit.
We *just* rewatched his season last week. He was very talented. So sad.

I'm only about halfway through; but I saw a spoiler online about who goes home. The article I was reading about all of the hullabaloo on the internet about Noel's age. He's 47!

I loved Luis. His season was the first season I watched and he was a gentleman and a talent.

Minor rant about who was sent home this week - or rather who wasn't. okay, but how did Dave save himself with that tiramisu cake? He was the worst at all the other things this week and while the showstopper was okay was it really a saving bake?

Hermine’s face when she says “I think of jelly as an Anglo-Saxon thing” is my favorite moment all season 😂😂😂

It was frustrating that they clearly weren’t given enough time for that technical. Also, hork. But I guess in the 1700s if you were stuffing a whole lemon into each pudding, you were fancy as heck.

i finally caught up on the last 3 weeks. Those jelly cakes were something else and everyone showed so much skill. I love Laura and Hermine, but i think Hermine is slightly better and should win

!!! - that's all you get from me this week lol
I kid ** spoilers, im going to gush about Star Baker and who got sent home
Peter nailed it this week and im so happy! I was so worried last week since he had a shaky go of it. Im so happy he nailed everything this week.
On the other hand Hermine is so sad. She has done some incredible work this season and it's so hard to see her go just before the final.
As always: Obligatory "ugh David is still around" but at least he did do some good work this week.

I am stunned beyond words at how this week played out. {Spoiler} So happy for Peter, but heart is breaking for Hermine. I thought from the beginning she, Peter, and Dave would be the final 3. What a week for her to go out on

While I am sad about who went home this week, she did horrible. Also, changing her recipe the night before was a bad choice.

I was so pissed when I watched yesterday. Laura has been hanging on by a thread and she does not deserve to make it to the final. Bullshit.

I wonder if there was something behind the scenes & Hermaine asked to go home. She seemed extremely overwhelmed and done in the episode.

I’m so sad about Hermine and really thought it would have been Laura going but they did say that although Laura’s were a mess they tasted good whereas Hermines we’re not quite as messy but didn’t taste as good. So it seems like it came down to a better bake over presentation
