October 31, 20195 yr Poor Steph really stumbled at the final hurdle :cry: I felt for her, it was pretty brutal. David keeping his cool and being consistent really paid off... well done to him!
November 1, 20195 yr I fell really behind here, but I'm finally caught up! It was pretty clear at the end that David was winning and it was definitely deserved and emphasises it's all based on that week (I was really scared they'd go all X Factor were setting up that Alice parents issue to set up her winning and her parents coming in right at the last minute), he also never really had a bad week, which is arguably more important than star baker as we clearly saw with Steph, it can lead to the pressure becoming too much in the final. Although he won't be a particularly memorable winner in my eyes, but then it's the same with Steph and Alice in that they were all clearly good but just not very memorable overall which made this a less engaging series overall. Indeed, Henry and Rosie would've been my favourites since the last time I posted, was rather gutted they both mucked up right at the end </3 (Rosie in particular I had such a turnaround with, her banter with Noel was one of the highlights).

Henry and Rosie were my faves too And yes you could tell Noel really like Rosie and seemed to always be at her station :lol:
November 2, 20195 yr Ugh at these results. It was obvious Steph would probably so an Ian but Alice was robbed.
January 4, 20205 yr Giving all an early heads up that this years GBBF takes place at Olympia from Tues 12 August to Sat 16 August. As per usual Im intending going on the Tuesday less crowded and all the beers are on. Anyone else going?
March 11, 20205 yr Sandi Toksvig will be replaced by Matt Lucas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51834511
March 11, 20205 yr I'm...not sure how I feel about that as he generally annoys me oop, but then I did think that way about Noel Fielding too and he became quite the highlight so I'll wait and see.
April 3, 20205 yr No great surprise but Matt Lucas has confirmed that filming of this year’s series has been delayed. I assume it was supposed to start around now.
July 14, 20205 yr Filming of Bake-Off is due to start later this month. Contestants and crew members will be in quarantine for 14 days before they start so I assume they will then proceed to record the whole thing in one block rather than over a succession of weekends.
