Pithivier: Textbook side-bite from Mary here. Complete with side parting. Outstanding. That fork doesn’t know what’s hit it.

Chiffon Sponge Cake: Think biting into things can’t be sexy? Think again. As Paul tries to make Brendan’s head explode using only the intensity of his two, beautiful, azure-blue eyes, Mary sets about making quite a different impression. Decked out in her Sunday best, Mary deploys her distinctive pout-bite (a little trick passed down to her by model and gingerbread enthusiast Heidi Klum). Eye-contact coyly averted, Mary plays the tease with characteristic charm and a sense of fun so often lacking from the televised baking competition format.

Frasier Cake: Classic teapot bite from Mary here. There’s her handle. There’s her spout. Slight tilt of the body and bang - it’s teatime. (Paul’s really trying bless him)

Brownie Burn: A cautionary tale if ever there was one. Mary, ever the embodiment of Joban patience, takes the time here to tenderly assess the temperature of James’ Scotch Brownie with her tongue. A sage move. Paul on the other hand employs no such restraint, inhaling the petits fours by the handful (forgoing the civility of cutlery) and paying the price. Judging by the expression on his stern sheriff-face, he won’t be able to taste anything with those taste buds for a good while. Luckily, Mary’s got some oral aloe vera in her bag. Trust Mary to save the day. (NB: Danny’s loving it)

Blackberry & Peppermint Macaroons: Now this bite has got to be worth the licence fee alone (Mary gets hers free of course). Tents can be unpredictable places and are fraught with hidden dangers for the prospective biter into things. No such peril for Mary though, seen here boldly defying an errant sidewind that slipped into her bite shot through a badly velcroed window panel. Unruffled and graceful as ever, Mary delivers the bite and remains as solidly steadfast as the hair on Paul’s Fructis-furrowed scalp.  (Sources close to Mary have hinted that this wind may, in fact, be a “fashwun wind” - part of an image revamp prompted by her new status as a patronised fashion icon)

Brendan’s Crackers: He sure is. He sure is. Mary can’t even look. (NB: Classic side-bite)

Smoky Crackers (/a hair): A perfect lesson in masticatory elegance from Mary here. As a seasoned biter of things, Mary has come to accept the perils inherent in such a pastime. Here we see Mary attempting to enjoy a smoky cracker (haven’t we all) and, instead, finding herself in the uncomfortable position of biting down on a hair. The origin of the hair is unknown (possibly hailing from Paul’s bewitching HD-ready sheriff beard or an eyelash from one of his two, beautiful eyes), but Mary deals with it with the minimum of fuss, maintaining eye-contact as she does so. Exquisite.
