    That was too hard a challenge. They all made same mistakes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    This really has nothing to do with baking. Put them back in the tent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭Cork Lass


    Seriously messed up challenge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,409 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    Hated that challenge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Ruby will need to have a seriously good showstopper to win.

    And for the others to trip over and drop theirs on the floor ! Shame really as Ruby would be a great TV presenter

    Paul does not like Kim joy. Lol

    Why arent they giving Rahul more time? Its not his fault theyre baking in a tent at 32 degrees with no A/c

    Edit: fair enough, he got it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 162 ✭✭larko


    That's a feckin disgrace. That tent should be air conned. Inhumane. As much as I don't like Rahul that's just not fair at all. I would completely freak out. Oh wait he's getting the time. I'd still freak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Ruby is going to run a marathon by the time the showstopper is finished. :pac:

    God are they going to drag it out for another 25 mins now? Would have preferred a longer profile on each. Not a good quality final. Even the drawings of their designs looked messy. They need to stop trying to mess with the bakers for effect and just let us see good baking

    absolute worst final ever, no real opportunity for them to shine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,409 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    Rahul is doing my head in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,519 ✭✭✭Sunny Dayz


    Ruby’s show stopper looks poor.
    Edit to add:
    Kim-Joy’s show stopper isn’t great either.
    Have to say Rahul’s show stopper seems to have been the best of a bad lot.

    Rahul's gonna win isn't he?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭biZrb


    I think Rahul and Ruby’s show stoppers look terrible - or is it just me?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    I think Rahul is going to win this, unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,230 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    I don't like those scenery/structure challenges..would prefer a 3 tier birthday, wedding etc cake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,409 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    For the first time ever I didn't enjoy that final at all . And every showstopper looked awful . They looked sloppy and untidy and no comparison to some amazing previous ones


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,468 ✭✭✭nc6000


    Meh.

    How predictable :(

    Wish Ruby had won!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    I think winning just relieved Rahul's constipation.

    Rahul stated that he’d never eaten a donut but then went on to say that he liked donuts with lots of filling - I really don’t know what to make of him, whether he’s genuine or not.

    You’re not the only won to spot this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,409 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    I would have no interest whatsoever in seeing Rahul again on TV


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Disappointing winner.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    Ruby came across very well in that episode. Lovely woman.

    Was hoping she’d win.


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    I think based on tonight he should have won.

    Having said that he probably shouldn't have been there in the first place.

    Crap final. It's not even the winner I'm annoyed about. The signature was boring, Ruby's Bear Gryll's comment summed up how stupid the technical was and the brief for the showstopper meant they all literally had to throw something together and didn't have a chance to shine.

    Delighted for Rahul, I think he genuinely doesn't know how good he is. I think he has no confidence in his ability, but your'd hope this win helps him out of it. Also think he is probably very isolated in England, with all his family in India.

    Fairplay Rahul
