Oh the excitement!


I'm on team Kimberley. She's the best baker. Oh and she lives in South London and has the most glorious smile which lights up her face.


Frances is awesome - she is more creative than the rest of them put together but she isn't the best baker.


Ruby is talented and beautiful and I was on team Ruby for a while but the modesty is annoying (even though I think she's a genuine person).


Basically, could be any of them; they're all brilliant and they've worked hard to get to the final.

I am sorry, but I think I may be allergic to her. every time I see her smug face I get irrationally irritated. She reminds me of the girl that would sit up the front in class knowing the answer to all the questions. I hope her sponge sinks and her souffle flops. I am on team Frances, I think she has been given a tough ride.

Team Frances here too.


Ruby will crack under the pressure of the final.


Kimberley is indeed beautiful and probably the best baker but Reeko's right - she's such a know-it-all. I loved her in the first few weeks but little by little she's lost my affection.


It's a good line-up though. And a terrific series.

It's amazing how some people take a huge dislike to each of the Bake Off players. Ruby because she's SO doe-eyed and plays her vulnerability to Paul; Kimberly because she's too clever and Francis because her creations are OTT and that she's batty anyway ..


Personally, my money's on Kimberly. Rock solid, talented and probably coming to HH soon.

Erm, I think it is safe to say that Bake Off really doesn't attract celebrity-hungry people. It's what I love about it so much - the contestants all seem so ordinary. Buck teethed, old, overweight, ungroomed - I see myself in each of them (albeit without the baking skills).

I like Kimberley - the fact that she says she has done her best or is happy with her bake is refreshing. I like Frances, too, very creative & fab presentation.


I find Ruby's constant self deprecation & whining annoying and I'm not sure it is always genuine - "oh it's awful, it looks terrible, I don't know what happened, I'll be lucky to get to the next round....who? me? I'm star baker AGAIN, I can't believe it. I'm soooo happy".


Not comparable to celeb wannabe shows such as Xfactor/Voice etc, this is all about the bake.


Love cake. Love Bake off.

Actually srisky I think you may have hit the nail on the head with Kimberley. She's refreshingly honest about when she's done well or done her best and we aren't used to that. We're used to false modesty. I don't think Kimberley is a know-it-all, I just think she's honest.


I really love Frances' imagination. At the end of the day you could learn to be a great baker if you worked at it hard enough, but you could never learn what Frances has; she's gifted.


I think Ruby is natural and not playing to the cameras. It's just that her extreme self-depreciation began to grate on me after the first few weeks.


Definitely up for grabs this evening - could be any of them.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
