But what about Rosie dropping her tart or Michaels mini breakdowns?
Those were just the hordoeurves, henny.
Now were getting to the whole meal, the meat of the competition.
Nows the time to start that betting pool.
You may ask yourself: Isnteveryweek Desserts Week, and the answer is yes.
But you just gotta roll with it.
The rest of the bakers choose more abstract flavor combinations.
David insists that theyll work with the blackberries and figs hes using in between.
(Blue food is weird, she says later.)
Through a strained smile, Priya assures him that she will.
Priya finishes on time!
Judging begins and David is up first, and as it turns out all that spice DOESNT work.
The David who won mega praise last week for a simple vanilla custard screams from inside.
On to Priya, who learns that blue food reallyisntappealing.
Prue says the ashy purple tinge of her bake looks horrible and not at all appetizing.
Her meringue is also overbaked and heavy on the amaretto.
Too many nuts, Prue says, which is patently impossible.
Henry also passes with flying colors, though his four meringues look pretty janky, but tastes great.
So great, in fact, that Paul accuses Henry.
This late in the season, Paul?!
Alice, the poster child for study abroad programs everywhere, says that sable is French for sand.
Did you know panna cotta means cooked cream?
Two can play at that game, Alice!
Priya, Rosie, and Michael get dinged for the fruit parts of their verrines not being totally set.
David and Alice both get perfect marks.
Steph takes 3rd, David takes 2nd, and Alice, queen of Biscuits Week, takes 1st place.
Always the bridesmaid …
Day two arrives and its Michaels birthday.
Sandi asks Michael how old he is now.
he says to which Sandi says, Fantastic age, in a tone that is in no way convincing.
Its all downhill from here, Michael.
But none of the bakers would be stupid enough to include frozen elements, right?
David has decided to add a lemon and shiso leaf sorbet to his bombe because he isthirstyfor Star Baker-ship.
Its … a lot.
Somewhere, Priyas husband smiles.
Dont lie, its exciting!
This is the baking drama we crave!
Listen to some Lizzo, Steph.
Get yoself some confidence!
The man really is phoning it in these days.
In all, Paul and Prue use the word beautiful four times.
But its Henry who receives the most damning criticism of the evening.
Henry hangs his head like a no-longer-sophisticated toddler.
Alice came so close!
Then they announce whos leaving: Priya.
Unlike last weeks double elimination, no one seems surprised by Priyas departure.
So she decided to do what she liked to do and bake, which brought her toGBBS.
The lesson: If you just start with the things that you really enjoy, you cant go wrong.
No need for a quippy conclusion.
That is some solid, wonderful advice.
