Hey, we had Italian week this week as well! I'm sure the Australians are better.

First time I watched this version. Fun to watch but I think Noel makes the whole show better on the British one

The British version is currently my least favorite of the three (although it has improved since they replaced Matt with Alison). The judges on the Canadian and Australian shows are so much better than Paul and Prue, and I love Ann/Alan and Natalie/Cal (RIP).

I found it hilarious that three different Bake Off franchises made tiramisù within the same week despite having completely different themes (Canadian: coffee & tea, British: dessert, Australian: Italian). I love tiramisù so I’m not complaining!

Ha and I loved that more than one baker used pineapple on their pizza!

I really enjoyed the technical challenge. Both the Canadian and Australian shows demonstrated this week that you can have a challenging technical with multiple components AND give the bakers enough time to complete it. I hate that in recent years GBBO has reveled in shortening the amount of time for challenges so that there isn’t enough time to let the baked elements cool and the buttercream starts melting.

I continue to love the risks that Arvin takes with his flavors. The cherry cola and spicy mustard glaze sounded really interesting.

I was really afraid that Adrian was dooming himself when he said he had to do well this week since he’s Italian. Doesn’t he know saying stuff like that is a reality show curse?!

as soon as Adrian said that, i knew he was a goner lol. it's like in horror movies when someone says "let's split up", you just know its coming.

I know, right?! Even if you think it, don't say it on camera unless you want to doom yourself!

ngl i'm happy Elliot didn't go, i love his nerdy ass lol. next week will be interesting, there's really not much separating everybody. pulling for Arvin, tbh, although Dimi has been really impressive too.
