That has to be one of the best challenges Bake Off has had in ages. Just entertaining television and the bakers are really coming out of their shells, too.
I think we can safely say that Bake Off is out of the rut it has been in the last two years. Channel 4 and Love Productions, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Rowan’s top has come apart from the bottom.
Rowan: “Shall I rod it?”
Look I’m just merely reporting what is happening on Bake Off. Stop judging me.

Abbi: “The top has merged into the bottom.”
Looks to camera.
She’s also started to call her bake Janice.

Josh’s cottage loaf is looking perfect. Has he done any bad bakes so far? I think we have a finalist in the making.

The fact that Noel and Alison don’t try to do skits throughout the episodes is such a blessing.
And Saku’s face as Paul passes her workstation is priceless.

Hilarious seeing Matty thrusting in his fingers, probably in fear of the cameras being there.

Now Noel narrates: “Not only does the cottage loaf need perfectly proportioned balls,” as we see all the bakers fingering the layers of dough.
INNUENDO DEFCON 1. REPEAT DEFCON 1.
Nicky also just said “wee” there, which I think brings us to six mentions in the series so far.

Paul: “Tell me about the proportion of your ball size.”
Matty: “Three quarters bottom. One quarter on top.”
Just look at Alison’s face throughout that exchange.
We’re starting to hear words such as “top,” “bottom” and “balls” from the bakers over and over.
Batten down the hatches everyone … I think we’re heading for innuendo overload.

Rowan is making his cottage loaf inspired by a trip he’s taken to Amalfi.
He says: “It is a place I would never go back to.”

After Alison said she’s great at batting in cricket, Saku throws a ball directly into her crotch.
Welcome to the Great British Bake Off 2023.
