Amanda, 56, and George, 34, both struggled while creating a pastry terrine pie for the Showstopper challenge.
Both of their pies took too long to cook and ended up collapsing after being taken out of the oven.
Amanda ended up being the one sent packing and, speaking after her elimination, said: 'You've got to go some time haven't you?'
Reaction: Fans of George took to Twitter to express their sadness after he was booted off, with one writing: 'George has finally gone I’m going to miss him so much he’s been iconic!'
'I didn't think when I got here I'd get that far after seeing all the other bakers. But I've had such a good time.'
'I came here to have a good time. It's a little bit stressful here but it's a fun stress. Perhaps if I didn't talk so much I'd have gone a little bit further.'
Taking to Twitter after Amanda's elimination, one user wrote: 'Aw Amanda was one of my faves'.
Another said: 'First time I've got the leaving baker wrong. Sorry to see Amanda go.'
Several viewers praised contestant Chigs, 40, for helping Amanda out while was struggling during the challenge.
One said: 'Chugs hugging Amanda saying 'I'm sorry there was nothing else I could do'. I love how they all help each other.'
Another wrote: 'Chigs was so sweet to Amanda. He's my new favourite'.
Former Great British Bake Off star Chetna Makan wrote: 'Amanda is still smiling after that bake! And that's what it is all about, enjoying the time in the tent whatever happens to the bake! Isn't it???'
Great British Bake Off continues Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
