[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for\u00a0The Great British Baking Show<\/em>, Collection 13, Week 5]<\/strong><\/p>\n The Great British Baking Show<\/em><\/a>\u2018s 16th season (labeled as Collection 13 on Netflix) continued this week with the eight remaining bakers<\/a> returning to the tent for Chocolate Week. But who tasted sweet victory? And who met their bitter end?<\/p>\n Judges Paul Hollywood<\/a> and Prue Leith<\/a> tasked the budding bakers with three challenges: the Signature, Technical, and Showstopper. For the Signature, the contestants had to create chocolate mousse, in addition to tempered chocolate cups to hold the mousse. Many came up with interesting creations, including some in the style of takeaway coffee cups, but it was Tom who earned the coveted Hollywood handshake.<\/p>\n The Technical challenge saw the bakers taking on a white chocolate tart, but the task came with a twist. Rather than giving the contestants the usual basic recipe, the budding bakers had to pick from a hidden pantry of different ingredients. Whatever ingredients they chose had to be incorporated into the dessert without a recipe to guide them.<\/p>\n This first-time twist proved tricky for some, including Nadia, Iain, and Natalia, with the new flavors overpowering the white chocolate. This put all three contestants in danger of being the fifth contestant eliminated from the competition.<\/p>\n In the Showstopper challenge, the bakers were tasked with creating a chocolate fondue display featuring an edible centerpiece. The contestants flexed their creative muscles, creating displays featuring lighthouses, volcanoes, waterfalls, and even a grand piano from Aaron, which earned him this week\u2019s Star Baker.<\/p>\n Nadia and Toby struggled the most, with both having trouble keeping their creations correctly assembled. Hollywood also criticized Toby\u2019s effort as \u201cbone dry.\u201d<\/p>\n However, in the end, it was 41-year-old hairdresser Nadia from Liverpool who was sent home. Leith expressed her sadness at having to say goodbye to Nadia but stated, \u201cShe just didn\u2019t quite do enough to save herself.\u201d<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t all bad news for Nadia, though, as she did get to leave with a special prize courtesy of host Noel Fielding<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking to Channel 4<\/a> after her elimination, Nadia revealed, \u201cI wore very bright clothes unlike what I usually wear, and I actually asked Noel for one of his shirts I loved and he gave it to me!!\u201d<\/p>\n
