Thought Rowan should have gone this week, he seemed to mess every single round up? The guy who left seemed to be just kinda not very exciting but not doing anything horribly wrong either

Surprised to see Jo Brand still doing the Extra Slice, didn't she advocate throwing battery acid over a particular group not so long ago.

Can you imagine if some stale old white male comedian had said we should throw battery acid over Black Lives Matter/ Marxist supporters. Reckon he'd still be presenting prime time show?

Didn't she joke about the topic rather than "advocate" it or say we should do it?

Though to be fair, your second point is reasonable.

One thing it does show though is that a lot of the things people have a go at the BBC for are simply things that show they are in line with other media platforms.

Two excellent reasons why I'll never watch Extra Slice.

Bread week.

[The Rotrex Kid]

Some interesting fillings! Salmon and cheese. Yum.

Rowan finished a thing!

Matt Lucas is terrible, about as funny as a forensic VAT inspection

I’m surprised at how unfunny Lucas is. I was expecting far better than just uttering nonsense in different accents.

Yet there he is, getting paid to be on TV, while you two bellyache for free on a forum.

Anyway, back to the actual content of the show, the bakers...

Shame, not surprising though, that Rowan's gone. But, as with every year, the one who's the bee's knees at the beginning starts to struggle while it goes on, while the poor bakers start to improve. Marc "E" (Can't remember where A,B,C and D went) is really improving.

I enjoyed Lucas back in the day on Buzzcocks and later some of Little Britain so had some hope for him but nope its not working, he's dragging Noel down with him as well, I hope they sort it for the next series

He's a naturally funny guy, I think he just needs to dial it back a touch.

There may be an element of trying too hard and he'll calm down

For me its just the wrong mix, Noel is so good at the slightly odd/out there humour and Sandy was the 'straight' guy

With Lucas and Noel they are almost out weirding each other, its not the Boosh

[Trustmeimadoctor]

If it was boosh it would be better

[FiF]

Tbh I'd give Lucas the boot and draft in Bob Mortimer.

[Cupramax]

Just caught up with last nights show, was the hand holding with Noel at the start supposed to be funny? Just came across as cringeworthy, although I did laugh at the Paul’s false hand skit. Rest of the show was a bit zzzzz.

[anonymous-user]

Lucas's "Call yourself a gay man" to Hollywood was funny.
Hollywood's Beadle-hand was absolutely brilliant. I laughed too much at that.

Otherwise
Sura to win
Mark Robo-leg to come a very close runner up.
Lottie is smoking hot.
Irish dude's happiness is infectious.

I'd forgotten that. I thought it was funny too.

interestingly Paul H mentions how its wasnt a a very high standard of bread making this week on the show, but they didnt take it further - maybe because they are picking people not on their ability.............

i was totally bored this week - first time in a while with GBBO, and Lucas is getting on my nerves.
