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.

      Idle cricket musing

      By malumbu · Posted

      I can do the research but are more people watching cricket on TV now it went to the higher bidder or in 05 when it was on Channel 4?  I think that less kids are into cricket since it went off terrestrial.  I suppose I should have had TMS on.

      Great finish to today, true Test cricket. India had the chance to kill it off a couple of times, but Carse and Tongue looked far better than I was expecting in a Test situation over the last few days. Still hoping for Jofra and Woody to be back for a couple games each.  PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word? There's still Birmingham, north London, Manchester and south London to go. It's never going to be 'The Ashes', but as a five game series, I genuinely think this might get people a bit more involved.

      LOL.   Lazy ass people who choose to litter!!!!   Really greenery does not cause anti social behaviour.   But I gotta say thanks for the giggle. You are so on point.   How can we work as a collective to make "The establishment move forward".   Net 0 is coming in fast.   And the only way forward is for everyone to work together

      That's a gross exaggeration. All of it. But maybe you just intended to provoke that response?
