Style over substance or the older blonde.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 03/10/2013 18:13

Kimberley. Although I do like christine.

roguepixie · 03/10/2013 18:14

Kimberly...if Paul can control himself and not just award the whole thing to Ruby because she flutters her eyelashes!!

LaVitaBellissima · 03/10/2013 18:16

I like Ruby :)

honeybeeridiculous · 03/10/2013 18:34

I was thinking Ruby but she's starting to annoy me with her pouting, and 'winging it' [hmmm] maybe kimberly

I want Christine to win!!!

Ruby would have been my favourite if it wasn't for Paul drooling over her, it's making me sick!

ShatnersBassoon · 03/10/2013 18:39

Christine is a safe pair of hands. She's Mary Berry 20 years ago.

Not keen on Ruby with the "I haven't got a clue what I'm doing," routine. It's boring now. First it was because of exams (fair enough), now it's because she got a new cat Confused

stringornothing · 03/10/2013 18:44

So tough to call. Kimberley has been the front runner all series, but the judges seem to be getting bored. I think perhaps the storyline is heading for Frances - bear in mind that this has been edited after the final result is known, so if Ruby puts salt instead of sugar in her final showstopper or Christine runs amok with a blowtorch, they'd edit it to make it look as if it were building up to this all along.

Rhubarbgarden · 03/10/2013 19:26

Ruby. I think she's genuinely talented, despite the eyelash batting.

LaurieFairyCake · 03/10/2013 19:29

I also think ruby is talented

I'd be going with Kimberley if she could have done pastry

Christine is flawless classics that taste delicious I guess - but really sadly is too dull to win

deepfriedsage · 03/10/2013 20:45

It would be nice to smell and taste. Not so much the undercooked or salted instead of sugared bakes.

Relaxedandhappyperson · 03/10/2013 20:47

Oh god, not Ruby. Pretending to think she's useless to get the sympathy vote from Paul.

Frances or Kimberley to win I think.

fossil971 · 03/10/2013 20:49

At the moment it could go any way. I would love it if Becca or Frances won TBH.

Interesting that last year's final was all-male but this year there are only women in the last 5.

barkingtreefrog · 04/10/2013 13:37

I want Becca to win, she's been steady all the way through. Kimberly is too confident, Christine has made too many mistakes with basic stuff, I'm getting annoyed with Ruby's hanging of her head and the style over substance woman is too particular with what everything looks like. She'd be my second choice though.

breatheslowly · 04/10/2013 13:39

I don't know all their names, but I think it will be the flustered one. They always seem to choose someone who has been "on a journey" and learnt the most, rather than the best baker.

Katisha · 04/10/2013 13:40

I hope it will be Kimberley - I think she's being briefed against in the editing at the moment. But it could be ruby because both judges are patently v keen on her.

chocoluvva · 04/10/2013 13:44

They all seem amazingly good. Tough call!

Oblomov · 04/10/2013 16:02

Kimberley or Ruby.
probably Kimberly. Because Ruby lacks the self confidence that Kimberley has.

Lottapianos · 04/10/2013 16:05

Hope it will be Kimberley or Becca. Ruby's Princess Di act is getting really old

PumpUpMyVolume · 04/10/2013 17:52

Hmmmm, I would like it to be Christine but I think Ruby will take it as she is young and talented - although not sure if she's the best. It will all come down to the final show though which is a shame but what happened last year..

MsIngaFewmarbles · 04/10/2013 17:57

Hmm not sure. Ruby is really getting on my nerves now, she seems very fake. Kimberly seems a bit smug, also getting irritating. Christine is too 'safe', I'd like either Becka or Frances to win I think.

INeedThatForkOff · 05/10/2013 02:18

Ugh. Is Kimberley the one who keeps congratulating herself'

'Wow, that's really good custard'.

I can really believe that she asked for an upgrade to first class a few weeks back for winning baker of the week. Very annoying.

Ruby is very clever and obviously works extremely hard to perfect her recipes. I don't understand why she keeps pretending to be surprised when her stuff comes out well - she clearly practices and perfects as much as possible in advance. She is doing herself a disservice by pretending to be ditsy when she clearly isn't.
Unfortunately, she is coming over as the sort of woman who bats her eyelashes at a big stwong man. Which is infuriating to watch.

I like Becca best - but mostly because I can imagine having a laugh with her - the rest of them seem a bit too intense.

stringornothing · 05/10/2013 08:24

I like Becca's personality too.

Kimberley doesn't seem to have a screen personality beyond "really really good at baking". That should be enough of course because it's not a public vote, but I hope we are shown a bit more of her home life when we move in to the quarter finals.

dementedma · 05/10/2013 21:46

I like Becca best but think Kimberley will win it
