Elsie Too Oct 2021 9:30am, 6 Oct 2021 4,436 posts	0 Elsie Too Last year they showed some filming from the practice tent - but I think that was later in the series when there were less bakers left. I agree it would be good to see Paul and Pru actually making the technicals. I guess it comes down to time in the program to show it all. In previous years there has been a separate few programs where they did make some of the bakes. I think Maggie will be out next week - she has just been clinging on all series so far but I think the right decision was made last night on who should go
Carpathius Oct 2021 12:12pm, 6 Oct 2021 21,153 posts	0 Carpathius I'd love to see Paul and Prue making the technicals too. I'm finding most of the women annoying, but I like the men so far. I don't really know why. Freya is particularly irritating, and Maggie (who's the type of contestant I usually like).

Northern Exile Oct 2021 1:16pm, 6 Oct 2021 8,016 posts	0 Northern Exile Right there with you, Freya is well annoying - I think it's her voice. Maggie is up there too. Faves are Guisseppi and Crystelle, though I have a sneaking admiration for George. Don't know how far he'll go, sadly.

larkim Oct 2021 1:49pm, 6 Oct 2021 15,649 posts	0 larkim Final three for me at the moment would be Guisseppi, Jurgen and Crystelle. They just look competent and creative. Wild card would be Freya, though her voice is very grating.
