Next time it is Pastry Week! With two bakers leaving too (thoughts and prayers to Saku and Rowan.) And remember we’re back on Tuesday too.

Thanks for your lovely comments and feedback on this liveblog, as always. At a dark time, this place is a 75 minute ray of sunshine.

See you on Tuesday babes.

And nobody is leaving the tent this week.

This is because Tasha is ill, so they decided to roll over to week, with two bakers leaving. No baker leaving is perfectly understandable, but the constant threat of double departures always feels a bit too high stakes for Bake Off.

I said it at the start and I’ll say it again… some traditions never change!

Star Baker is… Matty.

Phenomenal. I thought that Matty was going to make an early exit, especially after an underwhelming Cake Week. But he’s improved each and every week, and has gained so much confidence too. It is such a delight to see.

what. a. response.

This is not Cristy’s week at all, but I think she’s safe for this week.

Same with Saku. Her textures and flavours have come through intact.

Saku’s reaction? “I’m done with chocolate. No more chocolate. In my life. Ever.”

Nicky’s bake, while perhaps overpowered with her flavours, has got rave reviews. Rowan looks rather exposed this week, if any baker is going home that is.

Josh’s piping has been criticised, even though they only had four hours to bake the whole thing.

“I would complain that I have too many nuts in my mouth,” says Paul, who is seemingly being paid per innuendo these days.

Rowan, in his own words, has had a bit of a mare. Usually when this happens, he receives compliments for his flavours, but this week they haven’t come through.

Prue: “I think it is really impressive. It is more impressive from a distance.”

Not sure that’s as much of a compliment as you think it is, Prue.

Her legs fell off her horse so it looks like they’re sitting down.

“They’ve just had a long day,” she said. Gosh, I love her eternal optimism.

Dan must be counting his lucky stars that he didn’t go home last week. His showstopper has great flavours, even though it is technically a pudding. He’s safely through to next week.

Prue to Matty: “Let’s get your top off.”

THE BOX everyone THE BOX. Calm down.

And now it is time for the showstopper judging

Starting with Matty, whose bake has lost its shine but has been complimented for its flavours. He’s really done himself proud this week.

So who do we think is going home … if anyone is going home?

we stan our positive queen

All the bakers seem to have struggled there, but Dana remains such a positive force despite every setback.

She couldn’t get her horse’s legs out of the mould, so as a result she presented them without legs saying “they’re all sitting down.”

Always with a smile on her face.

Dan is helping Saku complete her bake as she’s completely behind.

And Rowan. Rowan’s showstopper looks like a coffin.

“This is the worst thing I have ever baked.”
