    Well done to the winners. Hopefully you will be rewarded with your badge soon. I am not updating the initial post as I don't want to spoil anyone's enjoyment if they are watching on catch up.
    You're safe - have just binged on the last 3 episodes back to back :D

    It was a lovely happy ending, but as for that swine Paul and his caveman technical challenge..!

    Watched, well done to the winning team on here. Not happy with the result though. I don't think the best person won. Not saying more though as I don't want to spoil the result for those that haven't watched yet

  • I am thoroughly disheartened...either of the other two would have been a deserving winner.


    I firmly believe that the result was fixed...looking back I can see that the eventual winner was being pushed on the viewers ...I have felt this for some weeks,and after last night I am convinced.

    I feel so sad...I have enjoyed Bake Off...and last nights technical challenge was a joy to watch!...but the result was just so wrong. :(

  • A disappointing final - none of them really excelled at any of the challenges in my view. I can only assume the winner's cake tasted exceptional, because it didn't look better than the others! The technical challenge was just ridiculous, that wasn't a great episode altogether.
    Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.

    Well done the winning team!
    Have to say all the show stoppers looked dreadful in the final!!
    :rotfl:
    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.

    I thought the same at the time, but then I had to remind myself that that they are not actually professional bakers: they are people with busy lives who just happen to enjoy baking. Even so, I think previous year's finalists have set a higher standard, decoratively at least. It made me appreciate how genuinely humble Nadia is.

    My OH predicted in week 1 who would win as he said that one baker was being set up to win. I have to agree with him now. Still enjoyed the series and shall now look forward to the Christmas specials!
