Never have we seen one challenge go so badly that
Beep-beep-beep, beep-beep-beep-beep, beep-beep-beep.
We now interrupt your regularly scheduled recap with a breaking news dispatch from the BBC World Service.
We can now officially confirm that Daddy Dan has gotten a haircut, and hes even finer than before.
This has been a dispatch from the BBC World Service.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled recap.
all of the judges absolutely hated it.
They wont even eat any of them.
It might be dessert week, but it seems more like failure week.
I have no problem with dessert week, but what exactly are we classifying as a dessert here?
Americans think that English people call all desserts pudding, but that is not the case.
I am not a huge fan of this dessert because it feels like eating especially sweet mucus.
Even Tasha thinks so, and she seems to have excellent taste.
With only six bakers left, there is not a lot of room to hide.
It gets so sticky when it cools that her dessert gets stuck in the mold.
Of the six dishes, it seems like three are great and three are bad.
The tops start with Daddy Dan, who made a Thai-inspired dish with lemongrass and other more savory flavors.
Let me comfort you and your new haircut right here on my bosom.
(Sick burn.)
The ladies didnt fare nearly as well.
Cristys are so overcooked that they fill with bubbles and look like theyre riddled with chicken pox.
Tasha used reduced honey instead of caramel and Paul says it turned them into a swimming pool of sweetness.
For the technical, everyone has to make a classic steamed pudding called a treacle pudding.
I dont get it, because a treacle pudding is never on my list of go-tos at the gastropub.
This is the technical thats absolutely horrible.
The results are uniformly awful, with Paul and Prue only really tasting Tasha and Dans.
They end up in the top, but Paul makes it known that they are the top terribles.
Does that make them the best or the worst?
The final challenge is to make a meringue bombe.
Its both too crunchy and too sticky.
Its sweet but it doesnt really have any flavor.
Its not good on its own and it just mucks up other delicious things like an Eton mess.
(Im sick of explaining English things to you.
Just Google it.)
Protect her at all costs.
There are two real triumphs this round.
The cake inside looks divine and matches perfectly with the ball.
The other triumph is thanks to Daddy Dan and his big beautiful arms.
Paul says its delicious and Daddy Dan wins not only our hearts but star baker.
When he calls his wife for a congratulations she doesnt even answer.
I will answer all of your calls.
Saku piped her yellow beehive-looking dome right onto the mold.
This seems smart to me because theres no way it would topple over like Tashas did.
Sadly the base breaks, and they dont like her passion fruit and pistachio profiteroles inside.
(Too soon?)
In the end, Saku gets the chop because her buns have less flavor than Cristys.
Im so sad to see my girl Saku no,ourgirl Saku go home.
There will be no more joy in the tent, no more laughter.
