missmissy234 , I'm with you - totally teared up for the star baker. AND also, for a Hollywood Handshake at the Showstopper!!! LOVE THAT SO MUCH. cakewench , I thoroughly enjoyed that double entendre banter!! I had to pause for a moment from the giggles. fatpony, that one, too!! So much fun. Of the two in the bottom, I was surprised by who went home, I thought for sure that person would remain.

I loved this week again… It looked like hell, but because they are such a talented group it was really fun to see them take on something so challenging.
Chigs did looks exceptionally cute in those glasses. It’s incredible he’s only been baking a year! And Giuseppe as well I think?

I was a little surprised too after his show stopper, but he’d been weak the last couple of challenges and I think we’re getting to the point where it’s hard to send anybody home :/

All the bakers were so amazing. I was so devastated. I swear this is the best batch of bakers they've ever had.

I was hoping they would keep everyone until next week and then eliminate 2.

What a time for her to go, after doing so well in the finale. I couldn't believe that I cried over it!! They've got a really good batch of bakers, and Chigs just keeps getting better and better. And he's so dang cute in his glasses. Jurgen dropping his bake made me GASP and I thought he'd be a goner. cakewench, I, too, thought Freya would have been so great at Free From Week!!

I just binged watched this whole season this weekend and was confused and then disappointed when the next episode wasn’t the semi finales, I didn’t realize the episodes were still being released.
This is my first season of this show and I love it! It’s so much more relaxed and less chaotic than the Baking Championship shows on Food Network. I’m probably going to go back and watch all the previous seasons now too.

I obviously had no idea that was you - I thought just a random link you were sharing. I LOVE THAT FOR YOU! When 2 Top Chefs have liked and responded to my IG comments, I fangirl float for hours.

My thoughts on this week's episode behind the spoiler: {Spoiler}Ok so I was all set to be super pissed off at the elimination this week. But after watching, I've softened a little. All bakers did well in the signature, but Jurgen didn't get a handshake (though Prue said he deserved one). Chigs and Chrystelle both did poorly in the technical but IMO did the best in the showstopper. It really came down to Giuseppe and Jurgen - one had a handshake in the signature, one won the technical. Such small differences in the showstopper - boring to look at (per Prue) but well-flavored against slightly less well-flavored but gorgeously done. I love them all so still super sad to see Jurgen go. FTR I am now solidly Team Giuseppe for the win, but would be happy with Chigs too.
