This episode is going to be the most divisive thing in Britain.
It will tear families apart like Brexit.
It will cause a tabloid sensation like Meghan Markle.
It will get Twitter abuzz like the dreadedMexican Week.
What even is that hat?
Is it a Billy Bathgate or something?
Is it a Great Gatsby?
What do I call it?
It is both a little bit chubby and incredibly attractive at the same time.
Should we call it a Lizzo?
So what is he doing?
Topping it with a chapeau that says, Oh no!
but, alternatively, Oh yes!
Wait, this show is about baking?
Its not about hats?
Should I talk about the challenges?
Its caramel week, which means lots of splitting, curdling, and burnt sugar in the tent.
The signature challenge is making a caramel biscuit, and many bakers opt for a Millionaires Shortbread.
That is basically a Twix bar: shortbread cookie, caramel on top, covered in chocolate.
These people have no idea how to classify foods.
Way to do your nation proud.
Paul loves to tease Georgie.
Not everyones were great, however.
Sumayah had a rare misfire, with hibiscus-flavored caramel that didnt set still looked great, though.
Mike makes chocolate orange millionaire shortbread, which is so English its like putting peas in your tea.
Wed like to open a ticket.
However, the bakers have to make it with pears.
A pear tarte Tatin?
What are they going to think of next?
A banana pudding made with grapes?
Also, this might be as controversial as Dylans hat, but tarte Tatin is garbage.
I cant explain it, but its like a casserole thats posing as a dessert.
Let the French keep it.
The bakers seem to really struggle with this one, especially our dream boat Nelly.
As she makes more, he vacuums up the glass container he smashed.
I dont know if Nelly will love him as much now.
No one likes it anyway.
The showstopper is to make a caramel mousse cake, but sadly, none of them had antlers.
Come on, people.
I thought this show was supposed to be punny.
This is one of those super layered desserts that Im not sure what its even supposed to be.
Prue absolutely hates the apple flavor, but its a good showing for Andy.
Everything he does looks exactly the same.
Her cake did look amazing, even if herBrat-colored mirror glaze looked sickly.
It didnt just look sickly; it even stuck to the knife when Paul went to cut it.
Damn, I was picking Sumayah for the final three.
How is she fumbling the bag this late in the game?
Thank God because we need the comic relief.
What does this guy have to do to get their attention?
Does he need some (Im sorry) Dutch courage?
(Its cool and all, but dont Americans know there are more places in Italy?)
Paul calls him the flavor king, but he gets dinged for his cake being a little too small.
Its a chocolate cake with a hazelnut praline mousse.
Still, this first draft is enough to get her the star for Star Baker.
It might be because there wasnt enough of it.
That is when Mike got his train ticket back to the farm and we will never see him again.
John was gone last week, and Mike this week; it seems like theyre after the gays.
Christiaan had better watch out during pastry week … thats if he can get the judges to notice him.
