Pottery Throwdown starts tonight!

Same thoughts from me BlueBelle. Abstract will not suit Anna I think. Looking forward to next week. I prefer abstract forms to real life. Loved Jenny’s two winning pieces from last week.

AJ or Jenny to win. Thought AJ’s weird fish were inspiration.

Sorry to see Ellie go as the presenter. Hope they get her back.
I follow Rose on Twitter and love her work.

I quite liked Tom, but could see things were not quite right. Sorry to see him go though he was a nice chap. Ellie also.
Yes AJ or Jenny to win.

Agree, AJ or Jenny to win. They both did well last night. I wish the Irish woman - Siobhan, is it? - was not coming back, she is so loud and annoying. The other one - Ellie? - is a hundred times better. I loved her silk blouse with the pink collar last night. Rich seems like a lovely man. So calm, and makes sensible and encouraging comments about the pots. You would choose him over Keith any time in a crisis, wouldn't you?

This programme, as with Bake Off and Sewing Bee show us Brits to advantage - caring, helpful, supportive and self deprecating. No bitchiness on view.

I felt a bit sorry for Jenny as Keith was so impressed with her fish , she might have thought she’d won that round - but then AJs other challenge was amazing too so perhaps not. I prefer the stand in presenter , but to be fair she has been just as loud as Sioban. Husband finds S very annoying ,. I suspect there is more to it than being loud , but would not be PC to expand on that!!

…and doesn’t Rich have beautiful hands?

Keith has written a book “A boy in a China shop” - a must read.

Yes JaneJudge it was Siobhan in the Derry girls.
She's always been shouty and loud, she spoils the programme for me, I always think she's showing off.
Bring back Ellie!

Last night's programme was a tearjerker. I am so pleased Christine got Potter of the Week with her emotive sculpture. AJ seems to be the one to beat.

Yes tears here too. Lovely, brave lady!

I knew Keith would be in tears I didn’t expect I would too I have always liked Christine and her work although I ve not thought of her as the strongest potter but last night she really was I thought her attempt was wonderful so well thought out and so thought provoking I think AJ is probably the winner but I really didnt like her attempt very much last night

Christine's sculpture was good and a deserving winner - but I do not think it needed the writing - I think it was good enough to speak for itself.

Hers stood out - I did not much like the others to be honest. A worthy winner!

In tears too last night when Jenny left. Very pleased Christine won. Loved the strength of AJ’s piece. I don’t usually like angular sculptures but that represented her so well.

Rich ☺️

Yes, a very deserving winner. A really powerful piece.

I thought that Jenny would be Potter of the year, but the others have really started to shine, Christines figure was very touching. A very brave thing to do.
I think that this years series is so hard for them, I’m so impressed, very skilled potters.

I watched the quarter final this morning and I've been blubbering away. Christine really deserved potter of the week. I like AJs style. It's very much her and she will go far, I'm sure. It could have been Anna or Jenny to go in my opinion. A very emotional episode.

Not sure which is more annoying - Sioban , or my husband shouting at the TV for her to shut up!!
I thought Anna’s should have won tonight- the visor on AJs armour seemed to stick out over the bowl necessitating the user to stand well back and take aim!

I was so happy that there was a new presenter too as I really dislike Siobhan, the Irish loudmouth. She is just too loud and bossy but damn, she’s back now! I’m just loving the programme though so much.

I love Anna

Siobhan really gets on my txxx she s got to be the most annoying presenter ever I thought AJ s would win tonight I thought it was the best and I think she will win the whole show
I like Christine but don’t think she ll win but she’s done really really well

Yes I think AJ will win .

Isn’t it lovely that they all get on so well and support each other.

Lucinda deserved to go as her urinal was the only one that leaked, never a good look. AJ is the most talented of the 3 finalists so will probably win. However, I have a soft spot for Anna. She is always so happy so I will be willing her on.

Atqui

Isn’t it lovely that they all get on so well and support each other.

Agree☺️
I’ve loved AJ’s work through out. Hope she goes on to make ceramics a career choice. I see she’s studying design.

I've just watched the semi final and Lucinda's was the weakest so she had to go. They are such a lovely, creative, supportive bunch that it will be difficult to pick a winner in my eyes. AJ or Christine for me.
