So when's the Great NeoGAF Bake Off going to start?

I'm up for that, a recipe and bake a week, starting super simple tho.

Week 1: A potato.

 

[kiyomi]

Week 1: A potato.

Most people can't do that right, honestly.

Me, however..

 

[komplanen]

What ever happened to OnkelC? He used to run a thread about food on GAF.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

whos that

I think Wario64 is a videogame blogger.

 

[JessicaPadkin]

I think part of Ruby's problem is that she might be a sufferer of Bitchy Resting Face. Or Face-Like-A-Slapped-Arse Resting Face.

Mel and Sue are great. I love the constant double-entendres.

 

[Mastadon]

If I start a petition to bring back Light Lunch, I presume I can count on all your signatures?

 

[Maleficence]

Team Kim!

I don't hate Ruby, she's just a bit pathetic and puts on the complete lack of confidence to make her end product look better. That and her being sooooo busy with her Philosophy degree has got to be a joke. (no offence intended to anyone studying philosophy, but come on)

in a second

 

[woodypop]

How do I watch this in the US? (I really enjoyed the Great American Baking Competition.)

 

[mclem]

Boo!!! I used to love watching Light Lunch on channel 4 when I was a kid.

I miss Light Lunch. It was exactly the right sort of program for a lazy lunchtime

(And let's introduce Steve, Matt, Dylan and Dan!)

Yep!

iTunes?

 

[dc89]

Tonight's the night!

 

[BGBW]

This needs to happen.

Or by next does that imply one already has and I missed it?

Not that I'm aware of.

 

[Petrichor]

Anyone but Ruby please.

Mind you the judges have a 100% track record of selecting the wrong winner so it's basically a done deal that Ruby will win.

 

[Matt_]

My housemate just said she read an article somewhere where a French chef spoiled who won, so be careful what you read

 

[Juicy Bob]

Anyone but Ruby.

Spoiler

Kimberley FTW

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Anyone but Ruby.

Spoiler

Kimberley FTW

This guy knows what's up.

Kimberley is the best baker there, and seems like a lovely human being to boot. She gowjus too.

Ruby is a pain, she grates on me.

 

[FryHole]

Berry shaking her head at Frances already, IT'S A FIX.

 

[Mastadon]

I'd eat Ruby's pie.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Ruby will win - Kimberley should IMO

 

[Mastadon]

Ruby will win - Kimberley should IMO

Not after that monstrosity.

 

[gofreak]

I'm watching the final, I haven't watched any of the episodes up to this.

God I love pretzels. But these could bring out some disasters.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Not after that monstrosity.

Not watching live who made a monstrosity?

 

[gofreak]

Kimberly had a soggy bottom (pie).

 

[jimbor]

Nope. Mel and Sue are as funny as anal warts.

 

[gofreak]

On paper I'm liking Kimberley's wedding cake best...

...by the way are we supposed to be careful about spoilers here?

Ruby is kind of a disaster handling things just out of the oven...and oops @ that cake.

Kimberley makes it look effortless.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Kimberley is the best baker there, and seems like a lovely human being to boot. She gowjus too.

Ruby is a pain, she grates on me.

You are now my nemesis.

... I think that's the second time I've said that.

 

[gofreak]

I hate to call it on this challenge, but Ruby's being outclassed here, no? At this stage her cake looks very amateur compared to the others'.

Dem flavours tho

E: or not

 

[gofreak]

Cake too dry.

op

Frances's cake looks the best though. Kimberley second, but her tiers are a little more different than each other than Frances'.

 

[StylusX]

Ruby is done...kim will win now.

 

[gofreak]

Wow...that Kimberley top tier

Ruby looks miserable.

edit - and that Kimberley side-eye to Ruby! Gif material.

 

[Mastadon]

So gutted for Ruby

 

[Mastadon]

Terribad decision.

 

[FryHole]

Get in!

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Underdog takes it, go Fran!

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Fuck yeah! Not Ruby!

Deserved.

 

[jimbor]

Ruby

 

[Mastadon]

Ruby

[BGBW]

While I thought Kimberly would win because she was the most rounded I'm quite glad Frances won.

Spoiler

She was my favourite.

 

[V_Ben]

Ruby wasn't at her best this episode was she. A shame, but Francis was fantastic. Such creativity

 

[Raide]

Poor Ruby but Francis has improved all the way through the show. IN the end Kim was all bravado and she could just not pull it all together in the end.

Also the pretzel stuff was funny.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

It's okay, Ruby, I will comfort you.

She was hilarious last week with chocolate all over her hands and apron, such a beautiful mess of a baker.

 

[Gowans]

Yeah Frances won it, well done to her.

I'm hungry for pie now tho.

 

[jimbor]

Ruby has an article up on the Grauniad: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/oct/22/great-british-bake-off-ruby-dandoh

 

[kiyomi]

Ruby is still the best. We know. In our hearts.

 

[Empty]

yay go frances

People need to learn to stay well away from the internet when they appear on something like this, and to not take nasty comments too seriously.

I don't like the way she has blamed misogyny for people not liking her and sending her hateful messages. She just comes across as vapid and utterly without personality. I make no bones about not liking Ruby, but I also thought either Frances or Kimberly would have been worthy winners, I think the latter just didn't produce the goods on the day it counted most.

Anyway, it's over, no more Bake Off for another year. :sob
