Episode 7 – Vegan Week
Star Baker: This week’s star baker Kim-Joy brought animals into the vegan tent – but in a “whimsical, colourful way” with her foxy showstopper.
She buttered up the judges without any butter at all. Well done to our #VeganWeek Star Baker Kim-Joy! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/3CSYgPuGwx

Who left in Week 7? We’re going to miss Jon and his Hawaiian shirts – but it looks like the Bake Off contestants will pay tribute to his colourful dress sense in week 8.
We’re sad to see you go Jon, but well done for making it this far. We can’t guarantee a Kebab Week in your honour, but we’ll never see a chopper in the same way again! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/EzxSKxkJbQ

Who left in Week 6? Sadly, even after all the handshakes in previous weeks, it was time to say goodbye to Dan after a disastrous series of events in the tent.
Poor Dan. We’ve all had one of those days where nothing seems to go right. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/0NXrFisZkx

Episode 5 – Spice Week
Star Baker: Kim-Joy‘s exquisite decoration on her spiced biscuit chandelier propelled her to Star Baker status.
Wow. Breathtaking work from Kim-Joy. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/5dKd5492fU

Who left in Week 5? The decision was down to Paul Hollywood alone, who booted both Terry AND Karen out of the tent in a double elimination. Hearts across the nation were well and truly broken.
Don’t stop the baking, you two! ❤️ #GBBO pic.twitter.com/8Fi9NQjBro

Episode 4 – Dessert Week
Star Baker: Dan was crowned Star Baker in week four as he wowed the judges with his melting chocolate ball dessert against all odds.
Well done to Dan and the Giant Peach! They soared high in #DessertWeek. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/YoIF49UwB8

Who left in Week 4? Nobody. This was because Terry wasn’t in the tent this week, so the judges thought it wouldn’t be fair to send anybody home. Alas, this does mean that TWO bakers are likely to get the boot next week.

Episode 3 – Bread Week
Star Baker: Rahul got Star Baker for the second week in a row! But he went through a real emotional roller coaster to get there…
It’s been emotional. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/Vas6Sj3b1D

Who left in Week 3? Devastatingly, Antony became the third baker to leave the tent after Bread Week served up all sorts of terrors.
But through the tears, he kept on smiling…
“I’m leaving, but still happy tears”
We’re so sad you’re going Antony, but so happy we met you. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/BBe5qGR3TP— British Bake Off (@BritishBakeOff) September 11, 2018

Episode 2 – Cake Week
Star Baker: Rahul claimed what Paul Hollywood called the first EVER showstopper Hollywood Handshake and took the Star Baker title too. He was clearly overwhelmed by his win and said he hoped he hadn’t peaked too early.
Rahul’s pure delight at receiving a handshake is a joy to behold. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/oScI2embdX

Who left in Week 2? Civil servant and DJ Luke became the second baker to leave the tent following a chocolate showstopper nightmare.

The heat in the tent got the better of his bake and Luke was sent packing by Paul and Prue.
Episode 1 – Biscuit Week
Star Baker: French baker Manon was named the inaugural Star Baker of 2018. She called it a “dream start” at the end of the episode, and she certainly caught Paul’s eye with her “classically French” biscuits and baking precision.
Manon fire! Well done to our #BiscuitWeek Star Baker – a magnificent effort! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/XWvShcME3o

Who left in Week 1? Northern Ireland’s Imelda sadly became the first baker to leave the competition, following a “terrible” Wagon Wheel technical challenge and an uninspiring biscuit selfie.
Prue complained that her seaside selfie biscuits were “bland”, “thick” and “dry”, and in the end Sandi Toksvig announced that she would be heading home. Fellow bakers in the mix to leave including Terry and Ruby just managed to do enough to survive – but for Imelda, the journey is over after just three challenges.
We're very sad to bid farewell to Imelda. Luck wasn't on her side, but she did herself proud. Hugs all round! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/6K2o62Yfna
