No, that’s not me mishearing and panicking. That’s Sandro panicking.

A delight to see Rebs and Abdul again within the tent. To rejoice, Channel 4 has determined to increase the present by quarter-hour and provides us three extra ad-breaks! So beneficiant of them.
And has Paul Hollywood been to Mexico lately? Want he would inform us.

I solely need James to bake issues primarily based on his personal tattoos any more.
Vital reminder: he has a tattoo of a RACCOON and a PANDA.
Extra updates as we get them.

Syabira’s fixed enthusiasm is such a bloody pleasure. She simply throws herself in head first. Nothing ever appears an excessive amount of for her.
This week she’s baking conchas that not solely are stuffed with corn and custard, however they resemble precise mini corn on the cob. After all they do. She is artistic as hell.

Do you name it a cactuses or a cacti? That’s the urgent dialogue of the day.

We’re already seeing Janusz being arrange for a fall, with Paul declaring that his ”cactus” conchas include plain flour so will style extra like cake.

This problem already feels prefer it incorporates extra bread than precise bread week.

They’ve to make use of a yeasted selection to supply 12 equivalent tasty buns.

Janusz acquired Star Baker for the second time. The one different one that has been Star Baker up to now is Maxy. Absolutely a Star Baker for Sandro or Syabira is on the playing cards.
And in MANGO WATCH (a function the place I rely the mangoes getting used all through the sequence) we had no mangoes final week. The full up to now on this sequence is 2. I’m really hoping the bakers use mangoes this week as a result of in any other case it renders this function completely ineffective and it seems bizarre.
And our COMMENT OF THE WEEK goes to this evaluation of what was alleged to be Bread Week.
Whats up and welcome to the Guardian’s Bake Off liveblog. And … It’s Mexican Week!
That’s proper, it’s a kind of weeks that debuts then could disappear with no hint, by no means to be spoken of once more. Who might neglect (or bear in mind) German Week, Japanese Week, 80s Week, Forgotten Bakes Week and Festivals Week (every week about pageant buns relatively than sleeping in a area for 5 days.)
Final week Abdul and Rebs had been unwell, so everybody bought a move by way of to this week. All of them needed to bake two sharing-sized pizzas, which was a shock to everybody as a result of who knew you can share them? Matt Lucas and Janusz talked about homosexual golf equipment (Janusz in all probability has free entry for the remainder of his life for mentioning the Brighton membership Legends) oh and within the Showstopper they needed to bake a smörgåstårta (a reminder that I copied and pasted that phrase from Google as a result of I can not discover these letters on my keyboard.)
