Auf Wiedersehen. bis nächste woche (see you next week) [If this is incorrect, blame Google Translate] Congratulations once more to brilliant Giuseppe - can he hit the hat-trick next week with Pastry Week? Looks like some chaos with the dreaded deep fat fryers and everybody’s favourite - PIES! See you all there, you lovely lot x FREYA! I didn’t see that coming. An astonishingly good baker at 19 years old. Will miss her creativity and her deadpan humour during crucial tense moments. And lovely Freya is leaving the tent. Farewell to lovely Northern Freya. She’s definitely done herself proud and can leave with her head held high - her groundbreaking vegan confections held their own against contestants at least double her age, and hopefully will usher in plenty more vegan bakers in future years! Much to be proud of. Star Baker is Guiseppe! He’s riding high! He is also now tied with the once unbeatable Jürgen, both bakers now having two Star Bakers each. Could Chigs come up trumps next week, or is it (finally) going to be a worthy win for one of the other bakers? Thank god. Or should that be “Gott sei Dank”. The lebensmüde will certainly be kicking in. Quite literally, this means “life tired”, and I think it requires no further explanation. And yes, I’ve finally run out of German words on my list. They’ve been away from home for nearly a fortnight. In the old pre-Covid days, being at home allowed them to have a bit of breathing space and feel just that bit more grounded. Oh, Freya’s been crying. Bless her heart – remember that they’re filming two days on, two days off in a bubble away from their friends and family. It’s a lot to handle, even without Prue and Paul slagging off your bakes on national telly. I bet that Giuseppe has won German Week, with that. Jürgen’s bake is liked, but not loved by Paul. Well, Paul just tried to throw Giuseppe’s cake on the floor. Was this filmed around the same time as the Euros final? Perhaps he was taking it badly.
