The Great British Bake Off - pies!!!

First thing is first - what a great episode! That was probably the most fun one to watch (so far) out of all the episodes so far. Mel and Sue were very funny (as they always are) and the competition got even harder as the contestants experimented making all different sorts of pies. They made meringues, they made pork pies (which I actually like eating), and other pies (which at the moment I am struggling to remember what they were). This is not in the correct order of how they made them though - the other pies were first, then it was the pork pies, and then finally the meringues. They all looked very tricky to make, especially the meringues, as a lot of them had pastry that was coming off at the sides.

It was horrible seeing who was voted off this week. They were both people who I thought were very good, throughout the entire competition, but sadly didn't do as well this week. And that was Rob and Jason - the only two boys left. Overall, I'd say that Jason was the better of the two, only because Rob struggled with his time keeping more than Jason did. Also, as far as I can remember, Rob was never crowned star baker, but Jason was. But they both had lovely personalities, and it was sad to see them go.

Although, on the plus side, Holly and Jo stayed (thank god!), and I was very pleased about that, as they are my favourites. At one point it did look like Jo might go, but I think her last bake saved her. Holly did ok, but wasn't as good as she has been in other weeks. Hopefully both of them will not only do better next week, but also make it through next week, as well. We shall see.

And, as a nice development, it's going to be an all girls quarter final - so that means that no man will win it this time. That to me sounds pretty fair, as it gives one of the girls in this year's competition a chance to win it. You all know who I'm routing for, but I'd be happy if any of them won it, as long as they were the best at baking overall.

Also, Janet got crowned star baker this week, which I think was well deserved. And Yasmin made it through, although she was in the bottom three. I think they are both lovely people, and both deserve to still be in the competition.

Also, as you may already know, like (almost) every other week, I have included pics from the show, which I took myself last week, and the other weeks I used someone else's. This week, I plan to do the same, but I've decided I'd like to do it in a seperate blog post, as I don't feel up to including them (or taking them) to put in the blog just yet. Hopefully, in the next few days I will do another blog post with more writing, and pics included.

Until then, I shall say goodbye for now. And I really hope you liked my blog post. And please leave a comment below telling me what you thought of it.
