Because the most recent episode of The Great British Bake Off has been so divisive, I would just like to say something:
Laura seems like a genuinely kind person who is a talented baker, especially when it comes to flavors...but, based on Hermine's impressive track record compared to Laura's less-than record, Hermine should not have gone home. Hermine was consistently held to a higher standard, and Bake Off should consider changing their judging process to incorporate the entirety of a baker's history instead of just one day's performance. That is my calm rant of the day.
Without further ado, here are the best tweets from the episode:
