Bye bye bye bye: Kitchen Fitter Mark and Dentist/Thief Deborah. Mark was generally a bit rubbish really. Thieving aside, (more on that later, viewers) Deborah's rose-flavoured petits fours were just too bright and garishly red - according to the judge in the NEON LIME blazer.
Ma Baker: Christine! For continuing her eighties crusade with a pina colada-inspired dessert. The moral of that story: always feed Mary Berry a booze trifle.
Living up to glorious middle-class stereotype: Mark may have his own free range chickens, but Frances based her petits fours on a Tchaikovsky ballet, so...
CUSTARDGATE: Oh. What. Dramz. No blue plasters in the offing, but something FAR MORE SHOCKING occurred in the tent. ACTUAL THEFT! Yes indeed - Howard's fridge area was scandalously burglarised. The way Deborah tells it, she 'accidentally' took Howard's custard from the fridge because she 'forgot' which bowl she'd used. Yeah yeah. Though, to be fair, her mortification looked entirely genuine – especially when Howard’s custard was deemed far superior. As for Howard, he just took it in his stride (he is, after all, a keen jogger), much like when he got his muffin elbowed. What a guy.
Upshot: The whole thing led to the worst (best) baking pun of all time: “Will Deborah be taken into CUSTARDY?” 100% worth it.
Baking craving: Howard's cheese petit fours with the onion rings on top. I jest. I'll have Glenn's technical challenge winning île flottante please.
Giedroyc's Food History: She ate a jellied pig's trotter. Without gagging.
Bake Off Innuendo: was BACK! References to rude sounding things all over the shop: soggy lady fingers, Howard getting stiff and, best of all, Ali pointing out “Beca's big ones”.
Next week: Pie Aye!
