I think Rosie only made it through because of previous performances. Helena completely ignored the theme of the week (1920s) in favor of the same theme she always does. It's a shame because her stuff always looked pretty cool. I'm predicting the final 3 right now.... David, Alice and Steph.
Steph and David look pretty solid for the semis and maybe Henry. It feels wide open after for the rest of the pack.
I liked Helena's gimmick, but I have to admit she's not substantially different from (for example) the many old redneck men I've seen on this show who can do old redneck man shit but not much else.
Also I know it feels cliche at this point to complain about any quality decline in the show, and I've been trying to roll with it in later seasons, but MAKE THE TECHNICALS EASIER. It's not fun to watch no one succeed.
The roaring 20s theme felt flimsy. The showstopper was supposed to be a prohibition cake but wasn’t prohibition only in America?
Yeah, but I think -- and it seems -- the mythos of the 20s contains prohibition...
Honestly I hope they give it another shot with a different group. This one really seemed not to give a fuck about it, and Helena just really outright ignored it LOL. I think it could have been fun.

I wish someone would have gone troll and made a voting ballot cake...

I was surprised to see Michelle go. And imo I never thought the technicals sounded too hard. Or harder than other seasons. After all we got rice crispy treats right out the gate. That does not impress. And I guess I missed the English rednecks. Is there even such a thing? How trippy would that be.
@Teresa from Concord I'd have to rewatch to point them all out, but I'd say 1/3 of all the old men are narrow in their abilities in about the same way, a kind of non-feminine way, and that's the parallel to rednecks I see.
I have to remember spoilers can come out Tuesday...
Ah yes, it's one of this rare occasions when we actually get to see it first in the UK.. Rather than a day behind.. *Fake Spoiler alert* It was a strange episode.. Noel and Sandi were joint star Bakers and Paul Hollywood got sent home..

I like Priya.
I'm betting on Alice to win.

I wasn't sad about Priya because she had a time management issue and that's like, unforgivable to me. I can't stand tardiness.
You're not wrong, but I like that. Feels like there's less drama in a way. You Rahul fan.
