'Bake off' over groupies and Rolling Stones though...

Ahh come on Lanky don't spoil the mood

In reality, I'd probably take a  meal out at my local Indian instead of the GBBO but lets get the pre-bake atmos going eh!!

Haha

The three of them were on The One Show last night and I was going to try and read their body language to work out who had won but that would've required me actually watching the full half an hour of that rubbish and there's no way I was putting myself through that.

Ha, exactly. It's like a blackhole of watchability that crap.

Agreed

Couldn't stand more than 10 seconds of that Alex Jones. Irritating bint.

Is she Welsh? I find it hard to tell.

[Ziltoid]

Is she Welsh? I find it hard to tell.

Like James Martin - you'd never guess he was from Yorkshire and liked butter

[Buck Pete]

Is she Welsh? I find it hard to tell.

That's just it isn't it.

I been to Wales, North and South and got Welsh mates from the Valleys and none of the fuckers sound as remotely Welsh as her.

[El Lobo]

Ian....why don't you fuck off

[Snail]

Ian....why don't you fuck off

He's horrid.

G'wan Nadiya.

[Crosby Nick]

I'm watching Namibia v Georgia instead of this. Two underdogs like you're getting but there's no Ian equivalent to ruin the magic.

[Snail]

She's won

[Crosby Nick]

She's won

Georgia?

[Snail]

She's lovely and so's her family. Made up for her.

[Libertine]

Crikey, that got quite emotional there at the end. Well done Nadiya, deserved to win.

[sinnermichael]

How much dough does the winner get?

[Elzar]

Enough to make a Lion

[sinnermichael]

[IgorBobbins]

I think I've got something in my eye 

How can a fucking bakery show get me emotional?! Nadiya deserved it, if only for her lovely teeth & eyes 

[Pistolero]

Wonderful TV....a joy from start to finish...hats off to the lovely Nadiya

[robgomm]

I loved that, so pleased she nailed the final but everybody did amazingly in the last round. Tamal's was something else. Ian's a curious fellow but he was dignified in defeat and Tamal and Nadiya are lovely. Nadiya's whole run has been so lovely <3

[Buck Pete]

Well that's it for another year folks. 

If it was down to the showstopper alone last night then that would have been a very very difficult decision for the judges, but as Nadiya had pissed the Sig and Tech challenges it was a no-brainer really. The right person won in the end I'm sure we all agree.

Ian seemed like a really nice fella in the end so fair play to him.

Nice to catch a last glimpse of Flora before she heads of to the hallowed Halls of St Andrews and Flat 2, No 16 Abercrombie Rd, Fife, KY12 3XT. Back Bedroom facing out on to the expanse of woodland.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Nadiya absolutely smashed it there, just obliterated the other two with pure baking magic.

Well done to her.

Only bad bit about the final was remembering the douche with the hat existed, bless him.

I liked it when it did the catch up when it said 'Matt has become a Dad and moved house', yeah no time for baking now mate, I can sympathise, being just about to move myself.

[Smudgester]

Am I the only think Nadiya's final showstopper was a very underwhelming compared to Tamal's ?

Is the winner the one who performs best just in the final weekend ? Or do they take performance over the whole series into account as well ?

[Walk On]

Ta. 

[CornerFlag]

I'm saying Paul out next, then Flora.  Final three of Ian, Nadiya and Tamal, Tamal out in 3rd and Nadiya winning.

The way Tamal's first couple went, I'm saying I was bang on, and sod any of ya who say differently!

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Am I the only think Nadiya's final showstopper was a very underwhelming compared to Tamal's ?

Possibly. It was clean and simple looking, but it was executed perfectly. She also smashed both the others in the previous two rounds, so 2 wins and an at-worst par makes her a clear winner on the day.

The level of interest in this garbage shows just how far down the tubes modern life has become.  If someone throwing an egg into a bit of flour is what goes by in the name of entertainment nowadays, then all is truly lost.  I thought it was bad enough when I heard two hard-looking Scousers outside the Kop a few years ago saying they would have to stick to one drink in the Albert and then they had to rush home so they didn't miss that night's X-Factor!  I thought they were extracting the urine but they were entirely serious!

Now here's someone whose loaf hasn't risen

[Buck Pete]

Now here's someone whose loaf hasn't risen

He's only just started posting again since 2008

I reckon he's been in Walton for 7 years and has come out to this strange world full of pansy blokes finding their feminine side doing cooking and stuff.

Wait till he gets a load of Facebook.

[Chakan]

Who says "extracting the urine"?

Wait til he meets Katie Hopkins.

Piss takers.

I never understand what prompts someone to go in a thread for something they have no interest of to slag off the people that do enjoy it?

[Nessy76]

Anyone ever read "Major Misunderstanding" in the Viz?
Just something about the phrase "how tragic we've become as an island nation" really sounds like the Major, especially in the context of a TV cookery competition.

Yep, the issues surrounding taxation, social reform, Immigration and suchlike are overshadowed by all 64m UK inhabitants glued to a BBC TV program about baking.

The thing is..our over enthusiasm in this thread is all just a bit of a laugh anyway!!

  oh my god, that is a perfect comparison.

Still, I should stop posting in this thread. If MBE's right, my willy will soon fall off or something.

[Buck Pete]

A guilty pleasure of mine is GBBO and the 'Crème de la Crème' show starts tonight.

This is like the Masterchef version as 8 pro pastry chefs go head to head.

I've just gone on a diet in prep for me summer holiday so this may be difficult viewing

[Titi Camara]

I was a bit disappointed with the sports relief stuff, although it did throw up a couple of chuckles. Chris Kamara was probably the highlight, his "surfer" was hilarious!

Hopefully the pros raise the bar

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Excellent!

This came out of nowhere, for me - didn't see the new series advertised.

Good stuff!

[Ziltoid]

My lad couldnt care less about the professional one. He wants to see things go wrong as well as right. Cant see that happening much unless its a flavour thing.
