I'm sure Crystelle and Chigs are wishing they had kissed that spoon now! I'm happy for Giuseppe's win. He is a very accomplished baker and carrying on with the family legacy. Seeing his dad on that video message really choked me up (along with Giuseppe). Even though the bakers weren't as flawless as they were last week, this final was a good one, with all three being so close. It was great to see Crystelle win her first technical. I think Chigs is amazing, how he was able to accomplish such a level of baking after only 12 18 months! I was very impressed with his Showstopper. I loved the ending montage- we've come to love the bakers and it's so nice to catch up with what they are doing, and to know they are staying in touch with each other is heart warming. I can't wait for the holiday episodes!

This was my take away from the episode, too! I had a friend who used to invite me over for raclette. So delicious! I may have to look into buying a new gadget for the holidays!

No disrespect to Christine, who I actually like, especially in light of recent events, but I couldn't believe it when she said that she was disappointed that the homes were to be built so far apart on Coyote Pass, unlike the cul de sac they had in Vegas. She was lamenting being so far apart...Girl, you are the one who put the kibosh on the one giant home idea!

I laughed a lot this week when Frazer was going on about Jessica complaining a lot. Really, Frazer?

Last season on An Extra Slice, we were able to see a few behind the scenes bits from inside the practice tent (as well as a get together in the hotel). It looked as though each baker had a sectioned off tent area to practice in. They were having a lot of fun interacting with each other. One of the bakers was taking the video and "interviewing" the others (why can't I remember the name of the "messy bekker" from Scotland?)

I don't know which is worse... their skating outfits or their glitterescense bubble jackets.

I can't believe how many silly skits Paul has agreed to this year! I have this thought that maybe being in the bubble, he, Noel and Matt are enjoying a pint after filming and come up with ideas for crazy opening sketches. They all have a laugh and before you know it, Paul has agreed to it!

I was just reading about the charges pending against Doug. They are shocking and he is dangerous and crazy. I'll try to put a link to the reddit post here, but, be warned, it is not for the faint of heart....

I think you are right about that- Lacy would be all a-twitter about Chon, if he were still in the picture. I think the producers should have pressed Lacy about the arrest situation so we could know what happened. After all, she is on a reality tv show. She's not afraid to put everything else (literally) out there.

I'm commiserating with the other posters from the US who were spoiled by social media (mine was a notification that was sent to me!). I will watch the final online this week, so I won't have to isolate myself until Friday. What an amazing episode! The bakers did so well in all the challenges (with the exception of some "technical" difficulties). It must have been excruciating sending someone home. I truly thought Jürgen would make it to the finals, but I am sure we will see him in a holiday special in the near future. He has so many excellent baking skills and a wonderful calming presence. I can't wait to see Giuseppe, Chigs and Crystelle bring it next week!

Actually, yes, Prajje was wearing flowery gloves. They weren't elbow length, but short ones. I also noticed Katie had on the same shoes as her model.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'll be giving thanks that my life is slightly better than these fools on tv...

Yikes! Chon gave in and went back to Lacy. Guess they deserve each other.

Is that what is happening with Tia and Nicolle?

Livin' their best life...

I think Puppy and Kristianna have the same makeup artist.

These crescent roll commercials are getting to me. I haven't had bread since June. Help!

A printed shirt! We should have known!

Lacy, you are the one who is cheating. How is Chane hurting you?

Britney has ALL kinds of plans...

OH, no! The restitution!

Ray is going to dazzle the in-laws with his charm and personality!

Derrick and Mama need to borrow Stan's straight jacket for Daonte. He's lost his marbles.

Here we go, bunkies!

Is "kinda freaky" a diagnosis, Dr?
