I agree, I didn't think last night's show was brilliant but I am glad Ruby didn't win and I thought they shown too much of her and not enough of the other contestants, reading the woman's blog from last year she herself say's do I think we were the best 12 bakers in the land, probably not, the producers want to know your back story as well as what your best and worst bakes are.
There seems to be those arguing about it going to BBC are right, they are looking to change it more into a reality show, I know it is one of sorts now but we don't want glamour models etc turning up if they think they are going to get as much publicity as Ruby has
I was reading an interview with Francis today and she did say they were surprised they didn't show more of the good fun and banter the contestants had, so it does look like they are trying to take it down a different route instead of leaving it as a good feeling show
