Just goes to show GBBO is a fixed game and all the women get favoritism due to a withered old crone who should be dropped due to lack of tastebuds.
Old woman does something scatter brained and stupid? Fire is hot. News at 11.
Lol, The League of Old Biddies huh?
If there's one thing I've learnt from cookie clicker, it's that grandma's who bake do so in the name of satan...
OK, I read the article and my take on this is:
There was a WHOLE production team watching the old woman destroying his cake. There was no one to step up and correct this?No, they thought that the drama would be cool and LEFT him to be sabotaged. I would flip out too.
They only televised a select portion of what actually happened. I am guessing that the show was constrained by their published rules, and so Iain had to lose that round. I suspect that the other contestant, Diana, would not have made it past the next week.
Diana screwed up, and Iain paid the price for that. However, he also screwed up by understandably losing his cool. I don't think anybody was happy with the way things turned out.
Addendum: Excellent point about the whole production team watching it happen. Someone should have pointed it out before it became a crisis.
They finished filming this thing ages ago, I think it's just wonderfuly so convenient that she got ill immediately after this event. A part of me believes they knew that there would be backlash from the public and she had to go regardless.
