I'm glad Amy won! I was rooting for Sam but Amy winning is good too.

I cheered when he got it wrong. Nothing against him personally but I rather Sam or Amy win. And was happy when Sam won the game.

I was hoping Abdul would win as it would have been a nice surprise. Syabira has been the favorite for so long. But I guess they really liked her flavors. I found it interesting that they didn't seem to try Sando's extra elements. I wonder if it was because they were showing him over doing what he was asked for and the judges just wanted to judge what was asked of them. Speaking of which, was it just me or that was a hard signature. I don't recall in past years them having to bake three different things for the signature. Of course the bread came up later. I like that they didn't waste the food in that case.

FJ, I started to try to name as many sci-fi authors I could think of, only for Ken to say "it wasn't a sci-fi author"... ;). I'm glad that Amy won yesterday and I hope she can win today (or Sam). I don't want Andrew to win, mainly because it isn't fair, as he didn't win the one game.

As for FJ, I had no idea, so just guest Roman. But apparently that was actually correct or at least non-incorrect. Sam deserved the win then! And I doubt they corrected it as it is previously taped. Unless they start today's episode with this announcement. Which would be an interesting way to start drama lol. I imagine they filmed them back to back.

Wow that was an exciting game. I'm looking forward to this as they all were in to FJ. Which I actually got correct.

Fyi, it seems like your an episode behind? Maybe I'm wrong...

I agree too. I feel like he should have been sent home. He burned his Carmel and was last in technical. I'm glad that Abdul got star baker. It was bothering me that he was sort of just there the whole time and they didn't pay much attention to him. I think was Matt that said he might be the dark horse. At least he finally got star baker.

I thought it was Matt, but I guess it was Ken. It got bleeped out on my station anyway. So I missed what happened lol.

I think it was 400. They ran out of time, so now we will never know :(. Anyhow, I really enjoyed this a lot. They clearly were having a lot of fun.

For a while I kept forgetting Abdul was either there. Which is surprising so far in to the show. But then I realized that he has a "normal" personality that doesn't stand out. And they weren't really focusing on him until this episode. I honestly was hoping he'd get star baker. They liked his show stopper even though it was simple. And he did fine in the other categories. Though I will say this far along and none of them did great on pastries. The signature was bad for everyone. I agree with the Maxy decision as Sandro won technical which should be worth something.

Was it just me or was that a really hard game. I don't recall it being a good 5 questions in before someone got it right. And even so it was a low scoring game. Though I did shock myself and guest FJ correctly. I was disappointed Ryan lost. I remember enjoying his run.

I am a fan of the 7th Rule (Cirroc youtube channel) they are reviewing every episode of DS9. Anyhow, during the baseball episode, it was asked who has it. Apparently Cirroc doesn't know either. I feel like that prop would be worth a lot.

My guess would be a different freezer. One that wasn't for any of the competitors. Then they just put the ice there right when the called "baker whatever" in. That way they are equally as frozen as well. I just realized another reason they probably are only allowed to use their freezers is probably because of the infamous time when Diane took out Ian's ice cream. This completely eliminates this happening again. Everyone has their own, so nobody else will touch it.

I was wondering about this. Are they allowed to use each other's freezer, especially in this case some of the people were done already. That was pretty close, I though that Janusz was going to go. But I guess it was Kevin's time, though I'm glad they liked his flavors.

I didn't remember, Rowan from before. But wow I was rooting against her. I was like "wtf?!" when she bet it all. I feel like Ken also was taken back by it. It made me really not like her. I don't like arrogant people. And I hope that she loses.

I'm in the minority group that likes the engineering bakes. It is interesting and often amazing to see what they can do. In my opinion (probably opinion of one), it was just baking it would be kind of boring. The challenge is part of the excitement. Not that they shouldn't bake but it is nice when their is artistic side as well.

Was thinking the same thing. Then decided if this was an American reality show, she would have been a guest judge. Also, as an American, I agree with what everyone said about S'mores. It's gram crackers, Hershey chocolate bars and the marshmallows are way smaller.

First of I want to say I was surprised (and happy) when they acknowledged that Syabira had nailed it and that it wasn't even close. Handshake on the signature, first in technical and a pretty good show stopper. Often shows will name some else to do add the "drama". But this time Paul admitted that she was getting Star Baker. As for the other side, that was way more close. I feel like it could have been either Dawn or Kevin. Also s'mores, really. I don't associate that with Halloween at all. But that could be because by Halloween it is two cold to do that here (and sometimes snowing).

I'm glad that Sandro got star baker. That world looked amazing and tasted good! As soon as that was clear I called that he would get it as he has been close for many weeks now. I do wonder why we didn't get his phone call? Syabira I feel like her sticking to the same thing is going to be her down fall, however there are other bakers that I think will go first. Carol, I'm sorry to say was in there way longer then she should have been. In the signature especially it was clear that all the other bakers were way more skilled. Not just that their cakes came out but that their decorations were as well.

I was reading reddit and saw someone's post regarding him in the documentary and didn't think much of it until I looked back and realized it was memorial :(. 72 is way to young :(. I do wonder if he knew based on his quote about Hagrid living on. Which he will and I am very thankful for that. RIP Robbie Coltrane.

As a Bill's fan, I say we should have pulled Allen earlier then we did. No reason to risk him getting hurt and the other starts as well as we need them against KC. But wow did he play a good game. Two plays were amazing but especially that 98 yrs play (okay don't know the term). He throw it more then halfway down the field.

I probably mentioned this before but this mostly applies to Sci-fi and fantasy shows. But I love the scenes where the characters are shown doing something "normal". Like eating in the mess hall or talking about a movie. It is a nice contrast between the rest of the episode which is the action, drama or genre stuff. These scenes are usually the bookends of the episode. example: Stargate Atlantis: episode starts with team eating lunch and then ends with team eating lunch but Woosey joins them this time.

I was surprised they kept Carol. I imagine she will be gone next week as the rest of the bakers are just better. I guess they didn't send her home because James messed up the show stopper and they did like part of hers? Maybe it's an opinion of one but I liked the taco challenge. I imagine shells are hard to make (never tried myself). Yes it isn't really baking but I enjoyed it anyway. And the ones that were good looked appetizing, especially the one Prue and Paul had. I wanted to grab one off the screen. As for Dawn, she didn't a handshake but she got Paul to smile. You could tell by his face that he really liked it. I feel like that is harder to do.

What about family owned? The best pizza places here are family owned places. Still "american" but some of the owners are actually Italian.
