Bye bye: Flora, for overdecorating AGAIN, this time with duff macaroons, and not masking the taste of raising agent - heaven forbid! I'm not sure I ever got over the head girlness, but she's 19, remember. 19!!!!!!!!!! At 19, my main culinary achievement was ordering chips, cheese and mayo from Hassan's kebab van.
Lucky escape: Ian. But it was right that he stay - that chocolate well was chocolate well amazing. I'm sure I spotted a Mary eye-twinkle. I think Paul purposefully snapped the handle in all-out envy.
Ma Baker: Nadiya was so delighted to get the handshake she received it double-handed. It was a rollercoaster week for our Nads though - when she teared up after the technical, I wanted to hug her through my telly. Surely she's the favourite to win, not least for the line "Why have I never made a soufflé before? Oh yeah, cause it's a TOTAL PAIN IN THE ABSOLUTE ARSE!" (I paraphrase.)
THE TENSION: That staggered technical challenge sent them into such a panic! It was awesome. Ian looked like he couldn't even remember what a wooden spoon was. Nadiya decided it was worse than childbirth. (We're nearly four months into parenthood - I can *almost* take such comments.)
Face-watch: It was Mel who had the cartoon face action this week. She kept lurking behind the bakers looking really worried and not knowing what to say. Poor Mel. You know it's tense when even Mel'n'Sue don't have the bawdy jokes on tap. Though Sue was mainly busy stuffing chocolate.
Next week: The Final. And no preview reel... Tamal and Ian are both so sweet, but this year I have a firm, firm favourite: #GoTeamNadiya.
