The result was a high-risk event On October 4th , we witnessed not one but two contestants being eliminated from the Great Britain Bake Off competition . Talk about turning up the heat. Judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood decided both Rebus and James would hang up their aprons because they failed to stimulate their taste buds in the right way during Mexican Week.
Speaking about the now-eliminated contestant's performance, Leith said: "Poor Rebs, but she was so strong and too much." Thinking of James, she added fondly: " I'm always sad to see a baker go, especially James who's had a terrible week and his performance is hugely disappointing." Amid emotions running high, luckily the showrunners, the comedy duo. Teammates Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding were on hand to bring some levity to the bakers and viewers at home.
This is a double loss following the cancellation of eliminations last week. With Rebus and Abdul absent from the kitchen due to ill health, the judges felt it would be unfair to exclude anyone. But what do GBBO fans think of the latest double elimination match? Well, the response was overwhelming, with many crying after seeing Rebus get his marching orders. Others were really annoyed by some of the baking blunders. Below, see our picks of the best memes and tweets about the incident.
