Soap is on the Cake Week episode when he comes to his realization.

Raj Singh grins at the camera, glasses a little askew, flour streaked on one hairless cheek. "S'pose it's just got to be good, yeah?" he asks rhetorically before immediately fumbling an egg. The voiceover explains his modified Battenberg cake, highlighting its Italian millefiori design.

"Raj plans to add a taste of Indian cuisine to his complex cake, with hints of cardamom and ginger woven through with mango curd."

For a moment, as Soap is about to stick an entire McVitie's biscuit into his mouth, he disdains Paul Hollywood's unblinking stare as he watches Raj start to construct his Battenberg stacks. The camera cuts to Paul looking smug. "Raj always has a bit of trouble with time. What we need to see is him actually accomplishing his designs." Soap thinks Paul's always unnecessarily hard on Raj, and he's pleased to know that most of social media seems to agree with him, especially after #Justice4Raj and #RejudgeTheBiscuit trended on Twitter after an utterly unfair judgment during Biscuit Week. Soap even did an offhand tweet on his burner account, adding to the mob by remarking that he thought Paul and Prue were just jealous that Raj actually had tastebuds.

But then the camera cuts to Raj tugging up his sleeves as he works on his icing (saffron-tinted, it should be said). Soap gets a quick glance of his left forearm, covered in small and intricate geometrical tattoos.

He immediately chokes on his biscuit, then drops the rest of the container on the floor as he struggles across the couch to grab his phone.

It takes six typos to get a proper message to Ghost, and even then, it reads something like: RAJ SINGH???? CHEF? CHEF FROM SAS? WE WORK WITH HIM??????????????????

The response is delayed, and during the excruciating wait, Paulette's Victoria Sponge gets a pit in its middle and she has to start from scratch.

Ghost merely replies: Who?

RAJ. FROM TH FUCKIN GBBO?????????

Another pause. Paulette starts crying and Noel's comforting her while wearing a sweater that looks like a lost Mondrian painting. Then, in the most boring way possible, Ghost replies: Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

Somehow, some way, Ghost completely neglected to mention that their SAS coworker—one of the deadliest men Soap has ever met in his life, one mister Rahul Bhandari of London, alias 'Chef'—took on some kind of shaven, bespectacled Clark Kent-esque persona to compete on the Great British Bake Off. It checks out, but at the same time, Soap is utterly mortified that it took him this many episodes to recognize him.

Does anyone have the adorable, precious gif of him asking the camera guys why everyone was laughing about the use of the word "hump" after the madeline challenge?

Rahul is such a pure soul, I just want to hug him!

rahul going from talking about his fears to just noticing birds is such a mood

[lyledebeast]

I’m honestly surprised the bakers of Rahul’s season didn’t just, idk, revolt.  Paul and Prue are so, SO mean to them.
