But after retired air steward Terry was forced to miss the week due to illness, judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood took the decision to save all nine contestants.
It was good news for Karen who, along with Briony, had feared for her future in the tent.
This week will see the Bake Off’s first ever spice week.
Challenges include a classic ginger cake and a complex Arabian pastry before the showstopper challenge, in which contestants will be tasked with constructing a hanging chandelier out of spiced biscuits.
The episode will see two bakers eliminated, and just seven progressing to week eight.
Will Karen crack under the pressure, or will she live to see another week?
The Great British Bake Off airs on Channel 4 at 8pm on Tuesday, September 25, 2018.
