me too Baz...I just can't fathom it out 
Just thought I'd start winding us up early......
Oh.. and I've not read the article, but I see a headline in the Mail online that says Raymond Blanc has tweeted the name of the winner...
M Raymond Blanc seeems to agree with me about the crying.
After all our moaning I don't think she will win now I think it could be the under dog Francis

I've only watched two or three times, but Francis impressed me more than the others. 
by rights Francis should win if the big challenge is a tiered wedding cake (assuming it doesn't collapse...) Ruby's 'pretty' cakes are usually a disaster - remember her lopsided allotment and the awful opera cake. She doesn't do decoration very well.
btw - there's a pre-show show tonight about the four contestants, starts at 7 pm before the Bake Off proper at 8 pm We can all watch for clues to why Ruby turned out the way she is..
Just been reading a blog by a former contestant on the thread on DS it's around page 34 and she says they don't get paid traveling expenses or money for the food you need to buy to practice and she would never do it again 
she did say some nice things as well

supes .. the general opinion on Paul and Ruby was summed up on DS by someone saying she could serve up a shit on plate and they'd rave about the consistency and flavour of it....
Frances looked like she had a small poisonous snake on her table.
