2016 GBBO Mini blog. Week 3

Bread Week

Mel & Sue Sandwich: Poor baby-young Michael - clearly so gutted, he got everyone’s mum hormones going by looking oh so puppy dog sad.  His Cypriot bread was a bit of a sight though – not even getting Paul tipsy helped. I say tipsy – that shot looked like even Keith Richard would struggle.

Lucky escape:  Teflon Val, though I’m not sure how (unless being least worst of the worst in the technical actually counts for something).  Paul was openly mocking her ark bread animals, which did look dubious to me, I must admit.  But maybe there *were* two Stay Puft Marshmellow Men on board with Noah.

Ma Baker: Tom, for making Thor’s hammer out of bread and refusing to admit there were any phallic implications.

Smut-watch: Whilst we’re on that theme... It was Ball Chat mainly, thanks to that steamy technical.  We learned from Candice that no-one likes an under-filled ball, whilst poor Rav’s were deemed damp and lumpy.  Meanwhile, Benjamina discussed softening plums.

Made-up stories: I particularly enjoyed Mary laughing at Selasi and calling total bullsh*t on his Bedouin bread-sharing tale.  I’d also like to hear more about Kate’s conveniently named “Nanny Cobbled”.  Can anyone really be as jolly innocent as Kate?  I predict she’ll properly explode in the tent eventually - an all-encompassing diva strop that will blow Bingate out of the water.

Montage-watch: the facial expressions as they read their Dampfnoodle recipes. My sides!  Amazing.  Better than Gingerbuilding Collapse.

Food History: Thank GOODNESS Mr Cad made me watch Mel’s trip to Freckenfeld.  Her groovy moves to ze German Barbershop Quartet was an episode highlight.

Next time: Brand new concept Batter Week, which looks fantastic – ripe for baking disasters we’ve never seen before and a whole new universe of puns.  Hope they ‘whisk’ some good ones. Am sure they’ll be ‘batter’ than ever.  Roflolz etc.
