In an Autumn Week outcome as shocking as that one season when Paul didn't use hair gel, Dylan and Nelly—two of this season's earliest standouts, responsible for dynamic flavor combinations that Paul and Prue have spent weeks praising—both underperformed in their Showstopper challenge.
Nelly's 'Woman in Autumn' cake, decorated with self-portraits of her younger and current selves in vibrant frosting, was glorious to look at ('A terrific achievement,' said Prue), but the flavor combination of spinach sponge, plum jam, and chocolate and avocado cream was too chaotic.
The judges increasingly rely on Showstopper flavor for their decisions, which resulted in our joyously accessorized, jocularly friendly, invigoratingly honest Nelly being shown the door.
We lost a real one in Nelly, a GBBS breakout whose unapologetic authenticity was a delight each week.
