Great British Bake Off Fans Criticize Jessika Elimination During Back-to-School Week

In the latest episode of The Great British Bake Off, themed 'Back to School Week,' contestant Jessika was eliminated, sparking significant backlash from fans who felt she was unfairly sent home. The challenges included making flapjacks, a technical round requiring bakers to create school cake sprinkles from scratch, and a showstopper featuring a nostalgic school fete centerpiece. Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith praised Jessika's creativity and risk-taking but felt she took a risk too far this week, leading to her exit. Jessika, a drag king and service designer from London, expressed pride in reaching the tent and noted the inspiring talent she encountered. Fans took to social media to voice their disappointment, describing Jessika as a fan favorite and 'finalist coded,' with many believing she was 'robbed' of a fair chance to continue. Despite the controversy, Jasmine was named star baker for the second consecutive week.
