[@overworked30407]

HILARIOUS that you mentioned filo dough weeks prior to that technical challenge

Never has my group been so invested in watching for if a British person is crying

Ifys J.K. Rowling comment was fucking fire 🔥🔥🔥

New to the show - loved this episode. Is there a write-up somewhere of how many points each contestant got?

[@TVChefFantasyLeague]

@@lizardbreath27 no, but that’s a great idea! Maybe something we can do in the future. For now, just a quick rundown near the end of the episode!

[@DeirdreCeridwen]

Do you all not list the collected points each contestant garnered each episode? (Partner and I JUST started watching this season GBBO and listening to your cast, and tried to make our own team but can't follow along the point counting... would REALLY love seeing a list or something of each contestant's points for the episode!) :(

[@TVChefFantasyLeague]

@@DeirdreCeridwen great idea! Not something we currently have, but maybe we’ll try to get something out together soon!

[@DarkStriker42]

So sad that the pod moved to wednesdays, now how am I going to start my work week?

[@DarkStriker42]

Should john get the point for being in line for star baker if he ended up getting the points for being star baker? I mean he’s no longer in line

[@TVChefFantasyLeague]

@@DarkStriker42 we used similar scoring strategies on other shows (“closer look” + winning on MasterChef, judges table + winning on Top Chef), so yes

[@G_Rez]

@@TVChefFantasyLeague thank you for the clarification!

Does Jeff opening the freezer for Nelly in the Signature not count as helping another baker? Asking for my own fantasy league at home.

[@TVChefFantasyLeague]

@@rhymeswithpikachu I just reviewed the tape, and I’m gonna say no! Of course, you’re free to do whatever you like in your league, but to me the spirit of the rule is more like, “this baker ran out of time and now someone is running over to help them decorate”, whereas this felt more like Jeff was just grabbing the door for Nelly. Polite, but not explicitly helpful.
