Contestants - joy, no twitter spoilers this time, I'm only a day behind. Well, I have an inkling of who may be star baker, but I'm not sure.
I'm a bit lost now, bar Brendan, who I still think is a little creepy, I'd be quite happy for any of the remaining ones win.
I'm rubbish at biscuits. Without fail they are under cooked, or over cooked, misshappen or rubbish. I like cookie cutters though. I don't even really like making them, I get bored md way through making them.
Signature bakes - crackers, ooooh, interesting. I've made savoury cheesy biscuits, but never a cracker. This one of those things I'm pretty sure big machines make better then I can. I could however put together a cheese board to go with them.
Technical challenge - tea cakes are mean, especially in that heat. I'm amazed Brendan has never made marshmallow before in all of his cooking escapades. Also, how did they used to make tea cakes without a silicone mould? Also, shouldn't tea cakes have jam in them, or is it just a lie Marks and Spencer's told me?
It's not looking good for Cathryn, it will be a shame if she goes this week, I'm only just warming to her. I imagine she will do well.
Showstoppers - every year I tell myself I'll make a ginger bread house, even when I had a kit I didn't get around to it. so, hats off to them. I'm not sure about the lack of planning on James's part, but it looks like it paid off. The coliseum is jolly impressive, the bird house a bit odd.

I'm quite sorry to see Cathryn going, I'm marginally amazed John is still there, but I think he is too. French Pastry stuff next week,
