Hi Cosi 

Oh wow! Ian in the final! 

DRAT !DRAT!

 Tissues for EC

Nadiya's the favourite then?

BALLS!

Hi there  

Good for Nadiya...just want Ian to balls up next week now

C'mon Tamal! 

All fur coat and no knickers then Flora

(don't think about that EC)

Innit 

See you next week 

or Tamal, Cosi 

Thanks for the company everyone  

Thanks for the company, goodnight all.

On that note... night night all 

  He'll have heart failure 

thanks folks...see you for the final  

Night all 

Ahh, ok, thank you.

I liked Ian's well    Night all  

Takin yer life in yer hands there girl  

I liked his well...it's him I don't like and his other two bakes were crap 

Tonight on The One Show they have all three finalists on the couch.

I'm scrutinising every word and gesture to see if I can glean any clue as to which one won.

I'm pretty sure it's been building up to be Nadya ..... 

I would tend to agree, she tried to keep a straight face all the way through and at times it looked like she was trying to stifle a big grin.

TBH I tend to think her apparent nervousness /facial expressions during the baking is a bit put on ....I think she is actually very self assured ...

she omitted to add that Flora was crap ...you couldn't make it up...it's quite sad what this paper prints really

THE DAILY MAIL HAS a new target – and it’s the squeaky clean BBC institution, the Great British Bake Off.

After last week’s super tense semi-final, we were left with three very capable bakers: Nadiya, Tamal, and Ian.

But DM columnist Amanda Platell thinks that they made the final not on their talent, but on political correctness gone mad. Mmm hmm.

Platell (who isn’t a stranger to offending people) penned a short article about the programme for yesterday’s paper, saying 20-year-old Flora Shedden was booted out last week for not being “PC enough” for the BBC.

We are left with Muslim mum Nadiya Hussain, gay doctor Tamal Ray, and New Man Ian Cumming. Poor Flora Shedden never stood a chance. She was far too middle class – and was booted off this week after her chocolate carousel was deemed sub-standard. Perhaps if she’d made a chocolate mosque, she’d have stood a better chance.

 

They made a bit of a thing about all her expressions. They showed artwork inspired by them.

What was interesting was how much work and prelim stuff goes on before they get anywhere near the show.

Nothing surprises me EC ....same as SCD  

Clearly, they weed out all those who can only make chocolate rice krispie buns and ensure that those that get through have a wide range of skills. Nadya said she used to put the kids to bed and then practice bake until the early hours. They showed a picture of Tamal's place and three cakes all attempts at the same showstopper.

Out me way everybody!  Although someone will have to keep me seat warm while I leave for a few mins to eat my bacon sarnie

Here we go.... !

Bake off virgin on-board

Evening everyone 

Bake 

Try to pop your cherry cake?
