I think they sent home the wrong person

[Diflower]

Oh I don't
He's great, but can't do anything more, was never going to advance or produce an actual show stopper.

[Rodo]

No I think it was right. He obviously expected it too.

I felt so sorry for poor little Martha.
She was so upset at the beginning tonight but was ok later
You tend to forget she is only 17

Is she? I thought it should maybe have been her last night, but for so young she's doing ok.........I thought it was obvious Paul didn't like Norman lol but maybe he has reached his level - I think it will be Martha next time though, yes she is very young but the rest seem to be in a different class altogether.....

[Diflower]

She's got her head screwed on hasn't she?
She's obviously learnt a huge amount, but said herself that for some of it, especially the technical challenges, experience really counts.

[Kaz]

She'll be quite something in a few years I think, but yes lacks the experience of the others. I thought the winner this week was quite superb

[debih]

I think the right person went home, as much as I like him.

I like Martha but I don't think she has the experience to win it yet.

We have chosen our winners - we want either the woman who got star baker last night (can't remember her name) or the builder with the pencil behind his ear all the time.

I didn't like last nights show stopper challenge with the tower of pies. Who in normal life would make a tower of pies! I know that some of the bakes are very extravagant but I can always visualise them being made by a home baker somewhere. I couldn't last night with the pies.

[Diflower]

No I agree Debih, before it was on I'd been saying to Bb, but what are they doing that for?!
Just to show they could, I guess

[Workingman]

Norman has pushed the exit gate on a few occasions.......

I am not sure about Martha not being technical enough. Kate and Nancy look fairly solid, but both Richard and Luis are capable of being brilliant and disastrous. Richard came close last night.

I am still trying to get my head around what that show-stopper was about.
