Bake Off fans slam judges for ‘wrong decision’ in semi-final
The Great British Bake Off started back in early September with 12 amateurs walking into the tent and nine weeks later just three are left standing. The semi-final proved to be one of the toughest challenges so far and it was a very hard decision for the judges to split the bakers.
In the end, Paul and Prue decided to send Toby home. He had a terrible first day including coming last in the technical and despite his best efforts in the showstopper, he couldn’t save himself.
However, he was a firm favourite among viewers and they have not taken the decision well. Fans quickly took to social media to vent after the result was revealed.
One watcher called it the “wrong decision”. Another added: “No, no, no!”.
A fan echoed: “I know I’m no expert, but wrong decision.” While one said: “Ah poor Toby, I really wanted him in the final, but he made a huge mistake.”
Another viewer wrote: “Tom got the brief wrong and still stayed in.” One added: “My heads boiling. Can’t believe Toby has gone.”
A viewer said: “Omg Toby was robbed!!!! 😭😭😭 Tom’s time was up weeks ago!” Another echoed: “What a travesty! Toby not in the final, crazy!”
