Is that Garlin or dialogue from Bojack Horseman? It’s hard to tell. Anyway props to Bojack Horseman for nailing this sort of defensive entitlement that goes “but how can I be the bad guy? I’ve been stomped on for years....”

“The simple solution seems to be to find a more compatible crew/cast for the softer-soul that finds Jeff G. too much to listen to every day and replace the softer-soul with somebody who thinks Jeff G. is hilarious.”

I recently had a long boring and throwdown Elsewhere Online with someone who was defending a boss who groped and kissed one of their direct report employees at work drinks with their co-workers.

Thin skinned people with issues up the wazoo fell out, eh?......

Yeah well, I’m a Brit and I don’t want to cry ever unless its a funeral or my football team just got promoted......

In fairness, in a tight final I kind of think the judges have to stay out of it at that point. Do what you did that worked in practice bakers or if it didn’t work, use a recipe for something you know how to do.....

I tapped out with GCSE D&T: Food Technology and our teacher was pretty hands off. We just would follow the recipes and let the (sometimes literal) chips fall where they may. The only time I ever received any help in the class was from a fellow student, when I kept messing up my cheese sauce for a lasagne. I was not

I miss some of these finer points of the show sometimes given that my Mum and I have wine night when we watch it :-) I knew I had gone too far with the Merlot some weeks when I couldn’t remember what the technical was.....

Nailed It is literally the only cooking show I’ve ever watched that actively makes me not want to eat ;-) This is better than wishing I had some 98 tier chocolate cake or wishing I had a giant dish of lasagne :-)

I’ll look for them next time but what fancy Greggs are you shopping in that has Belgian Buns?

I desperately want them to retire the emotional manipulation towards the end. This is why I liked Nailed It, I was sometimes scared of the contestants but the show never made me cry or crave cake.......

I still don’t understand how Crystelle’s focaccia went so wrong when she must have made it before successfully and also when it was obvious from looking at it before it went in the oven that the thing was drowning in oil.

I enjoyed the final and thought Giuseppe was a worthy winner but I do wish it was possible, nay, encouraged for reality shows and competitions to be filmed without them having to be emotionally manipulative. I cried, in short and I don’t want to cry at baking shows, shows where people repair old broken objects,

I thought it looked pants personally.

Out of interest, would you even be allowed to bet on a pre-recorded reality show where some people will know the result for realsies?

I’m fine with him on here as well.

I didn’t think either Jurgen’s slices or showstopper looked particularly nice and they certainly didn’t scream finesse to me. Slightly messy slices in garish colours and then some things that don’t look like boats under what looked more like a gallows than a bridge.....

I’m always sorry when a strong baker doesn’t make it to the final but I don’t think Jurgen going home here was unfair. His Murder at the Opera slices looked less polished than everyone else’s efforts and I didn’t think his showstopper looked that good. The little boats looked messy and the bridge was weirdly sinister

Chigs is quite a neat baker though, so I can see him being able to do dainty looking patisserie.....

He must be turning into a marshmallow :-)
