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.

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By Angelina · Posted

      I'm not saying that at all - I think it's great to have nice spaces. But it is already pushing out the smaller stalls - you can't deny there is a plan of gentrification

      Come on people, do you really enjoy the current dreary passages outside station or would you prefer a light airy entrance which, as one of the main ways in to Peckham, would welcome visitors rather than making them feel it's a grotty run down area ?  The station building needs exposing after so many years of being hidden behind ugly facades and this will help change views of Peckham as a run down shopping area which may help bring more inward investment in the area, help reduce the perception of crime (open spaces are harder to grafitti for example) and help make it a destination again much like when it was called the golden mile (1960s) Personally, the removal of the ugly buildings in front of the station is a good thing.

      You think efforts should be made to ensure public spaces in Peckham are ugly because it's 'more in keeping with the area'?! Dare I say that this is pretty disparaging towards the people you seem to think you're standing up for. Basically, less affluent people can't be trusted with nice things.  Personally think it's great that there is going to be investment in improving the public realm and making the station more accessible. Why should only the wealthier parts of Southwark get funding for this kind of stuff?

      Good places to eat near Rye Lane?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Yes it is, coloquially and locally, although it's a very recent coinage (for marketing purposes) and is non specific as to what it actually means. Peckham is a real place on a map with clear boundaries. I was commenting on a comment which had suggested using Bellenden as a locator rather than the utilised 'Peckham'. The venue in question is in Rye Lane, not Bellenden Road, so saying Bellenden would be unhelpful. The OP appears to have recognised that, in a graceful way.
