"This was supposed to be a celebratory episode, but it ended up being an emotional rollercoaster for The Great British Baking Show's remaining bakers. Patisserie Week is always a challenge, but this year, frustration and disappointment took center stage as the four finalists prepared for their last hurrah before the finale.
In what can only be described as a masterclass in baking, 23-year-old Jasmine Mitchell cemented her position as the clear frontrunner, earning Star Baker honors for a record-breaking fifth time. But while she was basking in the glory of her victory, two of her competitors were on the verge of tears.
Tom Arden's Signature Challenge fumbled left him teetering on the edge of elimination, and when Paul Hollywood criticized his beehive, it was clear that Tom's journey was coming to an end. "I felt chopped down like a tree," he confessed in his confessional, as he clung to the hope that somehow, someway, he'd still find a way out.
But Tom wasn't the only one feeling the pinch of elimination. Toby Littlewood, who had won over Paul and Prue with his impressive Showstopper, was sent packing in a shocking twist. While he was visibly shaken by the news, both Jasmine and Tom rallied around him, expressing their sadness at his departure from the show.
"It just sucks that Toby is gone," Jasmine said, her voice trembling as she reflected on how much they'd all come to care for each other. "It's sad that I don't get to do the final with him."
Toby himself summed up the sentiment best: "You just never think it's going to end." For Tom, his parting words were laced with a deep sadness: "I thought we had more time together... but life goes on, and sometimes you have to say goodbye."
As the remaining bakers prepared for their final showdown, there was a palpable sense of unease in the air. Could anyone truly stop Jasmine from claiming the crown? Or would it be one of her fellow finalists who finally took her down?
The Great British Baking Show may not be about winning or losing, but it's certainly about forging lasting bonds and creating memories that will last a lifetime. And for this year's contestants, their journey together has been one to cherish – even as they say goodbye to each other."

the show's got more than just baking drama, it's got real emotional depth too 
jasmine might've won but she's not above feeling pain & empathy 
her reaction towards toby getting eliminated was actually really touching 
what's even crazier is that tom's signature challenge failure still stings after all these days 
paul's critiques can be harsh, but at least he's consistent lol
i dont think he was ready 2 leave the show yet but u cant win em all. jasmine is def the fave right now but u never know wut can happen in the final. its actually kinda sad how they had 2 say goodbye to toby though. they all became such good mates n it wasnt easy 2 see him go 
The part that really got to me though was when they were all talking about Toby getting sent home. It's baking, people! You're not going to cry because you lost, you're gonna dust yourself off and try again. 
And what's with Paul Hollywood being so harsh? Can't he just give a little constructive feedback instead of tearing someone apart? 
and Paul Hollywood just roasted him like that 
. I feel for Tom, he's been such a great contestant this whole season 
. And Toby 
his Showstopper was insane 
! I wish there was more time to see what happened next 
, but The Great British Baking Show just gets better with each episode 
especially when it comes to the drama and friendships 
, but can't we all just want a happy ending for everyone? 
like he brought his A game every single day and you're just gonna send him home?! 
The way the show wraps up its contestants is always so emotional 
. I think what bothers me most is how Jasmine just cruises to another Star Baker win 
.
. The way Paul Hollywood always keeps it real is actually kinda mean-spirited, though 
. I mean, come on, a beehive? That's harsh 
.
. The thing that really got me was how emotional they all were when Toby left - it just goes to show how much they've grown as friends and bakers together 
Meanwhile, we're left wondering what could've been if Tom & Toby had more time in the competition 
I mean, who can't handle a little constructive criticism in baking? 
But seriously, it's crazy how much emotional investment we get into these bakers' lives. Jasmine is clearly an amazing baker, but let's be real, it's the friendships and drama that make The Great British Baking Show so addictive 
I'm dying to know what happens in the final episode - will Jasmine take home the crown? Can Tom or Toby pull off a last-minute comeback? 
. It's not just about winning or losing, it's about the friendships you make and the memories you create in that pressure cooker environment 
. Jasmine may have been on fire this week, but those last two bakers really brought out the emotions 
. The show is always about more than just baking, it's about who you are as a person too 
. can't believe tom is gone... life does go on and sometimes u gotta say goodbye
