So iconic is the accolade, the newspaper reported that Channel 4 has now trademarked the term, ‘Hollywood Handshake’, “with a view to slapping it on a long line of merchandise”. Her two-tiered chocolate, lemon and coconut cake collapsed, “seemingly in slow motion”, added [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7456212/great-british-bake-off-fans-horror-as-ruby-bhoguls-cake-collapses-but-she-still-manages-to-avoid-getting-the-boot/). “Howard dealt with the error well”, said OK!, but “some viewers felt justice was served when she was later voted off”. Evidently she left a greater impression on Hollywood than he had on her, with the judge describing her as “confident, creative and unafraid as a baker”. When the judges got to his bench to taste his bakes, he simply said: “started making it, had a breakdown, bon appétit”. A glass storage jar “exploded” during the final showstopper challenge, after the high temperature in the baking tent caused the container to “shatter”. The episode delivered “an hour of existential crises and accidentally abstract artistry from a man who has never baked before in his life”. Glass covered his workbench and ingredients as members of the production team rushed to clear up after “the freak accident”. Once applied to his Baked Alaska, the dessert turned into a “runny mess”, said The Mirror, and Watters decided to “chuck the whole thing” in the bin. Contestant Ian Watters was at the heart of the show’s “biggest scandal”, according to [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/aug/28/great-british-bake-off-ian-watters-speaks-diana-beard), after fellow baker Diana Beard appeared to remove Watters’s ice cream from the freezer before it had set. When Whaite sliced his finger on an electric cake mixer, he was led from the tent after blood began pouring down his arm, but was “spared elimination”.
