The Great British Baking Show Recap: The Bee's Knees
"Paul Hollywood better lock his doors, turn on the alarm, and get in the panic room, because I am coming for him. I'm not going to hurt him or anything, but I am going to scratch one of his cars and eat all the sweet treats stashed in his house, and you know that, like Toby, his stash is considerable."
"The signature is the only challenge during Patisserie Week that I don't absolutely hate. The four remaining contestants, also known as Jasmine and the Gents, all have to make two batches of cream horns, which spawns about 15 "horny" puns. Only 15? The show is slipping. There is nothing wrong with this assignment, except that things are a little warm in the tent during what was England's hottest summer on record."
"Toby tells us that he has never made rough puff pastry before, and the last time he made full puff, Paul yelled at him. So he tried Paul's recipe, and it sucked, so he's using Gordon Ramsay's instead. This is the kind of shade that I never knew Toby was capable of, but it makes me love him even more. When Prue tries Toby's pastry, she says it's too hard, which Paul, of course, blames on Toby using a chef's recipe."
Paul Hollywood criticizes Tom's appearance and handshake, signaling tension among contestants. The signature task requires two batches of cream horns and generates repeated 'horny' puns. Extreme heat in the tent during England's hottest summer on record makes keeping butter cold difficult and compromises puff pastry work. Toby admits he has never made rough puff pastry, abandons Paul's recipe for Gordon Ramsay's, and delivers pastry described as too hard. Judges praise his coffee and lemon fillings but dock pastry technique, placing Toby at the bottom. Tom also suffers poor judging in the showstopper round, inflaming strong responses.
