  1. No. Every week, they start with a clean slate. This season (and I think even last) when the vote was tight they said they would look back at previous bakes. (I just finished a continual watch of all the seasons from the beginning) IDK, I kind of can't believe that Dylan choked so badly. Flour lumps in the cake? Come on, that's amateur. Messed up scones and a bad cake design??? So it may have been his young age, or I like to think he already knew he was going places (the guy is a food prodigy!) and slacked off on purpose so one of the others could win. It would mean more to Georgie or Christian to win, and all Dylan needed to do was make it to the final and get noticed for a chef job, and it worked. Anyways that is my conspiracy theory LOL! Anyways it was a very good year, lots of good bakers and very close. I am in agreement about Noel's sweater. Over the anterior shoulder was written LoverBoy, yet the crotch of "body" was like a Ken barbie doll, so weird.
  2. Its very hard to listen to. One time I made the mistake of listening to bake off with earbuds in. The voices (at that time Sumayah's as well) and also Noel's laugh made it impossible.
  3. I would watch that,for the same reason I watched Survivor the season they were in Africa (the only season of Survivor I ever watched). I truly believed and hoped some one would actually get eaten by a lion in real life!! Her MBA big negotiator son should have set up an off shore account for her. This season was OK, the most storyline of all the seasons. Season 1 was just awful people and nothing happened to till the end, Season 2 was a bit better but not great. I mostly watched this season because I went to Koh Samui 35 years ago before there were any big hotels or Russians there.
  4. He has probably never made food for himself or washed a dish in his life. Am I misremembering (most likely) episode 1, I thought Zion was in a pool when heard gun shots. I will have to go back and rewatch.
  5. Just watched this season now so can't experience and news/videos of Matty's students/coworkers finding out he won BakeOff. That would have been crazy. I think I will search online.
  6. I was wondering why he was heading out with the day shift crew,didn't he just come in? Then he said he was going to come back in a few hours so maybe he has it in his contract that he has to take breaks of his feet ?? Like this show but it was there was too many "let's try this bad ass technique" happening on one shift.
  7. Wow I find this season moving at warp speed compared with season 1 where literally nothing happened until the last 2 episodes. When Victoria was talking about not wanting to live if she wasnt rich,she toned down her annoying drawl. I wonder if that was a choice, to show she was being authentic. Anyways it made her less annoying. She has some funny lines but i cant stand listening to her speak.
  8. I was trying to remember my blood bank training. I thought it was because O neg is more rare so save it for where it is really needed like women that may be pregnant or want to get pregnant . Not quite sure why children need of O neg, maybe just young immune systems more able to make antibodies against different blood types. At first I thought the guy making video was the shooter, then I thought Javadi is going to get decapitated by the helicopter.
  9. Well, I believe that was a television first. At least it was for me. Much more graphic than Call the Midwife which I am used to. I remember my midwife asked if I wanted a mirror to look. Ah, no! I was taken a back at first for the crowning but could watch the birthing scene. Had to cover my eyes for baby not breathing scene. Those were always the hardest in CTM as well What is Jessie, the background guy? I can't figure out if he is a nurse or a resident or nurse anesthetist (if they have those there). maybe they said in the first episode but I forgot and he kind of just is in the background. So I was right, Robby was Collins' baby daddy....just not this baby. I didn't get it when Robbie offered the horse pills from Langdon's locker to the alcoholic.
  10. And they looked like giant horse pills that would have never fit into the vial. This whole storyline makes no sense to me. I haven't been following along with the threads for each episode of this show, just came straight to this one to see if my Santos hate was shared, and I see it is! I just watched St Dennis Medical before this show. That was the first hospital show I have seen to feature the "Fillipino mafia". Also I thought today was the final episode but glad to see it is not, because....am I the only one who thinks Robby is Collin's baby daddy. (I called it on Episode 1).
  11. I have been bingeing since from the start and the first season drove me nuts with the Macarooooooons. (since I love macaroons, the chocolate and coconut kind, and don't care for macarons). Not sure if it was this episode but definitely this season they all started saying macarON. Maybe it started with Mel and Sue pretending to have french accents or maybe they had a lot of complaints from North Americans. This episode also taught me why my mom always made trifle with jello (and whip cream, not always custard which was probably a pudding mix anyways). She said my Grandma who came from England but was Welsh gave her the recipe. Now I have learned that it is the Welsh way to use jelly in trifle but that transferred to the Canadian Prairie way of using Jello.
  12. Mr Blackie and I were just talking about this. It kind of threw me off at first as it has been awhile since I read the book. I had to try to remember back if there were black characters in the book. But when I realized that they weren't playing a black character I kind of got used to it . (Also Young Hugh from The Detectorists as the barber was a bit weird). I don't know if these are the right casting decisions for a period drama.
  13. I am just watching from the beginning and that happened in Season 1. Seems like this forum is quite old so I don't know if this is the place to ask but since I started watching from the beginning (season 1 and the Wedding Cake special ) it is driving me nuts that they say macaroon (that rhymes with balloon). I am from Canada and a macaroon is a chocolate and coconut cookie which I LOVE and I don't like the other too sweet confections which we pronounce and I think spell macaron. Help it is driving me nuts and making me crave a chocolate and coconut macaroon.
  14. Great finale with probably the best top three ever on the Canadian version. I thought it was going to be Jen but her showstopper was kind of a let down. I really want to go to Elora's tea party, her flavours sound so amazing.
  15. I haven't been watching regular for awhile (I cut the cord) but I looked up the Sam scenes. There was some good acting but too many with the "no Sam's not dead,I just saw her and she was fine so she can't be dead" response. It got a bit monotonous. For sure it would be shocking to people since she was not expected to die but not everyone is going to do the big denial speech.
