Mary Berry delivered some savage feedback in the semi-final of Best Home Cook, as the remaining contestants were really tested in the kitchen.
After rustling up canapes for the first round, the second round had them truly stumped as they were tasked with making a meal out of a tin of tuna.
With Oli having to sit the second round out after falling ill, it was Suzie, Georgia and Sarah that had to work their magic.
Georgia and Sarah really struggled to rustle up something decent, both presenting salads to judges Mary, Angela Hartnett and Chris Bavin.
Georgia probably got the worst of the criticism, as Chris didn’t think much of her Nicoise salad.
‘You have given us an incredibly simple dish,’ he said.
‘We would have liked to have seen more cookery going on in this dish.’
When Mary tried it, she immediately winced as she tasted the vinegar Georgia had put on her red onions.
She told her: ‘The one thing that is hitting me is vinegar. It’s very very sharp.’ Angela added that the contestant had ‘killed’ her salad with the amount of vinegary flavours she had added.
The harsh feedback didn’t go unnoticed by viewers who felt they went a bit too hard on the semi-finalists, who aren’t professional cooks.
That Paris-Brest challenge was brutal. Yummy tho! #besthomecook

Eliminating someone and then telling them to go and make the dish that just got them eliminated for their daughter is absolutely my favourite dismissal of all time? #besthomecook

This is #besthomecook!!! It is not Masterchef. It’s not a professional competition. It’s meant to be about home cooking and they’re slating the contestants for being home cooks

Mary was also unimpressed with Sarah’s effort, telling her that she had wasted her valuable cooking time.
‘I don’t think it’s enough,’ she said. ‘I think you had an hour of faffing about.’
Angela added: ‘It’s a semi-final, we’re expecting a little bit more. You didn’t plan this well.’
As a result of their poor performance, all three ended up in the eliminator round with Oli.
Ultimately it was Oli who was sent packing, meaning next week will be an all-female final with Sarah, Georgia and Suzie battling it out for the title of best home cook.
Hopefully the judges will be a bit kinder next time.
Best Home Cook airs Thursday at 8pm on BBC One.
