I am so glad I have seen this post - I thought it starts today.

Well it does make sense that they would have practiced at home because of the time constraint. And they are expected to come up with some really good cakes / breads etc which wouldn't really happen if they just "went at it" -

I suspect though that the one the people don't get to practice at home is the technical challenge

I have a bottle of plonk and some nibbles at the ready.

I've always assumed that they are told in week 1 you will be making x and y and they then get to chose their own recipe and practice at home.

But I also assume they have no idea what the challenge is going to be.

Oh I did enjoy the first episode tonight!

There are some excellent bakers in that lot.

I picked out four straight away... the same ones the team picked.

I also picked out those who I think might leave. I got the first one right.

There is quite a big gap between those who can and those who can't.

And I did enjoy it, it has to be one of the best 'reality' shows going. But then I do like food.

As the music started I was on the sofa with a bag of crisps (large) on one side and a plate with cake (large) on the other side of me.

According to Don I looked like the cat who got the cream.

I said I feel like it.
