November 18, 20204 yr They can f*** right off. I shall not be bothering with the final for the first time and it's sad. What an absolute DISASTER of a series.
November 18, 20204 yr Awww poor Laura... It’s silly though as Hermine was clearly the worst yesterday. Laura had 2 things which didn’t look good but tasted good-great Hermines signature wasn’t good as she had to restart it and her show stopper wasn’t good.
November 18, 20204 yr They can f*** right off. I shall not be bothering with the final for the first time and it's sad. What an absolute DISASTER of a series. Can’t be any worse than the year Rahul won when he’d been crap for three weeks leading to the final and was also crap in the final but still won :D
November 18, 20204 yr I mean actually Rahul's year was probably my favourite final 3 in recent years - all really distinctive personalities and bakers that weren't always perfect throughout, but still worthy of being there (I mean I may biased as I was like the only one here that liked Rahul but yeah). The finalists just don't stand out much to me this year (except Laura really!). It was the same last year. Guess it's not the show's fault, but it's a shame as it's just made me care a lot less.

To be fair I did really like Kim Joy... and Ruby grew on me
November 19, 20204 yr That’s not a fair comparison. Ruby and Kim Joy were really good bakers and fun personalities. I’m not mad at that top 3 and even whiny Rahul winning at all.
November 19, 20204 yr Peter “can I ask you to try the other one”. f*** OFF. That is absolutely ok to do.
November 19, 20204 yr It has been a terrible series. It was missing a great baker. None of them (apart from possibly Ermine) looked like winners. Every episode looked like someone really good was unable to bake because they were I'll. A very unfulfilling year. Edited November 19, 20204 yr by Colm

Every episode looked like someone really good was unable to bake because they were I'll. A very unfulfilling year. That's what's made this series enjoyable for me - the standard hasn't been at an OTT. Its also made for a much more interesting series as anyone can go at any time. Plus Matt coming in has been brilliant. Overall for me I've really enjoyed this year - also doing it with everything going on has kind of made it more special. Yes i'm not enthused about 2/3 of the finalists; but that happens most years :D
November 20, 20204 yr I don't like Matt's presenting style. I can see why some people might not like him, but I think he's been great.
November 20, 20204 yr I've warmed to Matt. I wasn't sure at first he felt a bit awkward but he's got good chemistry with both Noel, the judges and the contestants and can bring the laughs! Think it was quite tough for him to be the only new face whereas last time we had a change in line-up it was everyone but Paul!
November 24, 20204 yr Well... the winner we were all expecting then. I have to say that I warmed quite a bit to Dave in the final and I was wanting him to win by the end. It hasn't been my favourite series but I'm still a bit sad that it's over, it's an hour of lighthearted joy and I'll miss it this year.
November 24, 20204 yr I think Peter was definitely the right winner, he’s been consistently the best all the way through in my opinion.
November 24, 20204 yr Definitely the right winner based on the whole series and probably just about edged it tonight.. Good to see the dedications at the end to all of the crew and to Luis.
November 24, 20204 yr Dave's idea seemed like a really good one at first... until you realise he's basically making the things he can't do very well and it suddenly seems less sensible!
November 24, 20204 yr YAY I won the sweepstake :cheer: Much as I can't really warm to him, it was probably the right result as he was consistently the best throughout the series, I was thinking Dave could just about win it with the edit he was getting, but I wouldn't have been surprised either way. I love that they didn't even TRY to edit Laura as a contender, I swear they've never done that before and just had the two runners up? :lol: Not the best series for a number of reasons, though I will miss it purely for the glimpse of normality it offered in these times!
November 24, 20204 yr The way they didnt even try and edit Laura as a contender just showed they should’ve sent Hermine into the final. But yeah the right winner I’d say based on the whole series!

The first day went so badly for Laura that even the cleverest editing couldn’t have made her look like a contender :lol:
