Amid fraud and meme allegations, the Bake Off jury chose the show's three finalists

Agustina Fontenla, Damián, Agustina Guz and Samanta, the four semifinalists of Bake Off

The Bake Off semifinal broadcast last Sunday by Telefe was wrapped in at least tense weather. Throughout the last week strong versions of a possible fraud were circulating that would benefit Samanta Casais one of the participants who is still on the run to establish herself as the best amateur pastry chef in Argentina. It happens that it was questioned if she is really an amateur pastry chef one of the indispensable conditions to participate in the gastronomic reality show hosted by Paula Chaves . Images began to circulate through social networks that show Samanta working in a confectionery shop, and even presenting her work as a pastry chef on television.

The young woman published photos on social networks showing the spare parts she recently made in her kitchen. Many took those images as an indication of the destiny that would have been given to the 600 thousand pesos that the program which was recorded in the middle of last year presented as a prize. As if that were not enough from the Twitter account of Telefe, the channel that broadcasts the program a video was published by mistake in anticipation of the final broadcast of the contest . In it appear the three participants who as could be seen in the program on Sunday reached the final . A true spoiler.

With all these condiments, the semifinal was issued in which Samanta Casais, Damián Pier Basile, Agustina Guz and Agustina Fontenla underwent three quite specific challenges. The first at the request of the jury member Pamela Villar was a classic floating island in which everyone managed to delight the jury with its flavor but could not surprise them with the decoration. In the midst of the challenge, Agustina Fontenla had some difficulties in carrying out her preparation and although they usually help each other she did not receive immediate help from her colleagues. On social networks many stated that Samantha should have had a more comradely attitude since on other occasions when she faced other obstacles with her preparation Agustina quickly helped her.

Twitter was soon filled with messages about it and made not only Samanta a trending topic but also the words I hate her. Disappointment in the networks for the alleged fraud and this attitude of the participant were gathered: the users expressed their anger through humor.

The second challenge gave the French touch to the program. How could it be otherwise, it was proposed by Christophe Krywonis, the participants had to make a Paris Brest, a typical dessert from the 18th century European country. The results satisfied the jury, There were some imperfections but all four really showed that they are in a semifinal for a reason. There was a very good level overall.

Finally, at the request of Damián Betular , the four semifinalists had to prepare a box of 48 chocolates. Again, the results were satisfactory.

The jury said, at this point in the contest those who want to continue their career to be the great amateur pastry chef have to know how to make a box of chocolates and have enough creativity to make the filling.

After analyzing the results of the three challenges, the jury met and debated which of the three participants had to be chosen to reach the Bake Off Grand Final . The suspense of television mixed with the nerves and the memes of social networks an indispensable company along with some dessert to watch reality. The result had been anticipated by Telefe's tweet, Agustina Fontenla was eliminated and therefore, Samanta, Damián and Agustina Guz are in the grand final.
