And nobody is going home.

Could you imagine the collective meltdown if someone had been told to go home this week? Unthinkable.

Janusz got Star Baker and it has been confirmed that two bakers will have to leave in a future episode.

And now let us never speak of the smörgåstårta again.

“I think this was one of the most difficult showstoppers I’ve judged ever…” says Prue.

I think Prue could have just said “I think this was one of the most difficult showstoppers” and left it there.

So what are we thinking? Kevin, Dawn and Carole appear at the most risk of going home. That is, if anyone is going home. We’re in uncharted waters, folks!

Carole really needs to knock it out the park here if she wants to get through (that is, assuming someone leaves this week), but her bake is criticised for having no seasoning (the premonition came true!)

Janusz’s smörgåstårta is up first, although I think Noel just pronounced it a “smaller tortoise.” And Prue just said: “To be honest, I think the idea of fish and chips in a sandwich is disgusting,” but then he is told that it is in fact delicious. Wowsers.

Now it is time for the showstopper challenge judging!

I think Sandro’s bake might require a crane to bring it to the front. Thank god he works out.
