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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
