SIMMERING RAGE
Angry Great British Bake Off fans all have the same complaint about Custard Week
THE GREAT British Bake Off has angered viewers in its latest episode who claim the show doesn't actually involve any baking anymore.
This week, the remaining bakers were tasked with Custard Week, creating a floating island using poached meringue, before creating six pistachio praline ice creams in the technical.

However, viewers were quick to notice an essential part of Bake Off missing... the actual baking bit.
This comes on the heels of Mexican Week, which also didn't involve much baking, and other challenges that involved creating desserts from scratch without the help of an oven.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Is it just me but are most of the challenges on #GBBO no longer baking!?"
"Watching #GreatBritishDesertOff. Where did the baking go?" quizzed another, while a third said they "fail to see what baking was accomplished on the BAKE off".
"This floating island challenge is such a farce because none of it involves baking! What’s the point?!" said a fourth.
While another threatened to boycott the show completely and added: "Bread week with no bread. Mexican week with no baking and now 'custard week' #GBBO has jumped the shark. This is my last season."

The latest criticism joins a growing line of complaints being made by fans about the show, who believe the series may be 'jumping the shark' when it comes to their challenges.
Last week's episode Halloween week was blasted for being aired two weeks early, considering Halloween is October 31st and it aired on October 18th.
Paul Hollywood has also been accused of 'losing the credibility of the Hollywood Handshake' by giving out too many.
Another week also caused controversy when the team decided to not give the bakers instructions for the technical, giving an advantage to those who had made lemon meringue before.
The Great British Bake Off airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
