Think "Jess" is actually Tasha, no?

Watched the remainder. Still ambivalent about AH, though see the press gave her a resounding thumbs up - not sure what for, she didn't really make an impact as far as I could see. But no impact is fine, she's not made it worse which is what I feared.
Who would have bet that when the Ch4 move happened and NF and ST took over, that NF would be the host that would see three different co-hosts; he was the "quirky" pick at the start who I think people wondered "why him"?
Lots of emotion from the one who left. That must be gutting, get all that way and only see out one episode where you've baked something pretty tasteless for your showstopper. Maybe they should have a double-round like they do in Strictly to allow them to be judged over two episodes and have the chance to redeem themselves.

I’m clearly a big child because I snorted at both beaver comments. I think Alison Hammond has mellowed with age. She seems like a genuinely warm person and not the larger than life character she used to be. I like her for GBBO and think she’ll be a good fit.

I enjoyed that. The bakers are good and Alison was fine. Had no preconceptions as had no real idea who she is!
Someone has to go the first week and that showstopper did look really quite yuck on the inside!
I'm considering attempting the technical but it did look quite deceptively difficult.

It’s not. I made it last night. I’d never made ganache before and mine didn’t thicken enough but I added more melted chocolate and that did the trick.
