Indeed, love Flora, she's probably the weakest baker of the remaining lot, but hope she somehow flukes her way into the final

Wait, is she really 19 as someone said in one of the previous pages?

19 in Glasgow years making her 38 in human years.

I believe Flora is doing a Degree in the History of Fine Art at St Andrews University.

We have so much in common it's uncanny.

Because you also live on the same island? It's fate.

Now Paul's out I want Nadiya to win, although I could live with Tamal.

You'd be fat in no time though (as would any of us)

Go head Flora, hope this fucks Ian out the door.

Chocolate souffle just seems wrong.

Really don't want to see Ian's chocolate centrepiece.

How can Flora win the tech challenge and go home I'm getting angry about Bake off.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #176 on:** September 30, 2015, 09:43:31 pm »

Bye Flora

Until we meet one fine day perusing the art galleries of Edinburgh. God speed my Caledonian temptress.

Millie · « **Reply #177 on:** September 30, 2015, 11:06:08 pm »

Ian should have gone

Hope Nadiya wins it now - or Tamal

Anyone but Ian

robgomm · « **Reply #178 on:** October 1, 2015, 08:03:23 am »

Nadiya <3

Final could go any way, really, I can't be doing with Ian but he's done well enough that he merits being there and if he has a great day he can win. Tamal is very solid but perhaps needs to go up just a notch.

GO NADIYA <3

Haha, classic.

Was just contemplating how the final line-up is a representation of the wonderful diversity of culture, race and religion we have in the UK.

Despite not knowing any of them, I feel quite proud.

Read the Telegraph review, as I like aspects of that paper if not the overall political view, and the first comment was "Nadiya will win because she is a Muslim and there's an agenda". Read the Daily Heil comments for an even bigger laugh.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #180 on:** October 1, 2015, 08:49:50 am »

In fairness the starting lineup was a wide range of cultures so it was likely the final would pan out like that.

Ian is the GBBO equivalent of Man Utd. Everybody wants him to lose but you know the Jammy c*nt will pull something out of the bag in the final showstopper.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #181 on:** October 1, 2015, 08:54:15 am »

His showstopper looked impressive but there wasn't much to it in terms of chocolate technique, just a load of moulds. He basically waited for it to set and made some shortbread. It was visually impressive but he should have done more.

I just hope he doesn't win. Every week he tries to seem humble but it turns into a back handed self-compliment.

Funny as hell when they broke the handle off his wishing well. The look of disdain on Ian's face was classic. I'm sure they did it on purpose

Going back to last weeks episode - Paul's collapsed Religieuse à l'ancienne (Eclair Nun) was the funniest thing I've seen this series

My lad has called Tamal since the first 5 mins of episode 1. He's getting a bit giddy now!

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

Tick. Tick.

Though I'm worrying I have the third and second positions the wrong way round.

At least it's the final next week so she'll feature at the big party at the end or whatever that is...

Think Tamal might surprise in the final, but Nadiya is the big favourite (and well deserved)

Jurgen Klopp joining LFC and the GBBO final all in the same week.

Can things get any better?

Buck Pete · « **Reply #194 on:** October 7, 2015, 07:55:07 am »

Tonight's the night lads!! (and any ladies who may be interested in baking).

I reckon Crosby Nick will be sat glued to his telly at 8pm sporting his Christmas Pudding Oven Gloves and an apron adorned with a picture of a Woman's body clad in stockings and suspenders.

Nadiya for the win!!!

Ziltoid · « **Reply #195 on:** October 7, 2015, 10:50:37 am »

A backstage VIP pass to a Rolling Stones gig with unlimited access to Mick's groupies and Keef's booze/drugs could not drag me away from the Final tonight!!
