Beca was my favourite. My friend reckons she's the love child of Mel and Sue.

I was just glad smug Christine went....

Ruby and her denim jacket are into the final...

(Who else cooks in a denim jacket???)

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 15/10/2013 21:03

She is truly miserable! There are certain words that the way she says them really irritate me. Like hope - "hoyip" Angry

I have a feeling she's going to win because PH fancies her

wannabedomesticgoddess · 15/10/2013 21:04

I love Beca. Cannot believe Ruby got to the final.

well I can, Paul loves her

I hope Francis wins. Don't think there's much chance of that - she's not teacher's pet.

SmiteYouWithThunderbolts · 15/10/2013 21:05

Can you imagine a comedy trio between Mel, Sue and Becca? Amazing. I liked her and am sad she went. I don't mind Ruby but until she can cope with the pressure, she cannot successfully bake at this level and so doesn't deserve to win. Kimberley has an undeniable talent and I really hope she wins.

Chippednailvarnish · 15/10/2013 21:05

Paul makes me feel a bit queasy.

I am amazed Ruby got thro!!

MrPricklepants · 15/10/2013 21:07

Aarrrrggghhh! This has really annoyed me. How many chances does ruby get? The technical challenge alone was enough to get her out. I used to love GBBO but this series has really annoyed me.

LegoStillSavesMyLife · 15/10/2013 21:07

Oh poo.

newestbridearound · 15/10/2013 21:07

IfAtFirst I think she's going to win too. I can't help thinking that they seem to feel that she's some kind of baking superstar and overlook any mistakes she makes.
I really hope I'm proved wrong because the idea of her smug face is too much to cope with

SouredStones · 15/10/2013 21:07

Gutted beca went

starfishmummy · 15/10/2013 21:09

Hmmmm.
Ruby should not have got through. That swiss roll thingy was dire and her opera cake with the nuts falling off was awful.
Her own comment that it takes her longer (than the others) to do everything just shows that she dkesnt have the experience.

DSJamesHathaway · 15/10/2013 21:09

I can not believe Beca went. If Ruby wins now, I will be really irritated. I think Kimberley and Frances have been much better, much more inventive and much more consistent throughout.

MrPricklepants · 15/10/2013 21:10

Beca if you are a MNer - you was robbed! :(

RedPencils · 15/10/2013 21:11

Ruby's cakes look like she's dropped them on the floor. Why's she so miserable and weepy all the time? It's baking show not the Hunger Games.

Bet all her cakes taste of tears, woe and snot.

Oh socks! I forgot GBBO was tonight and now you've given it away.

I like Ruby, I've lived with several dotty Female students who were very like her (Psychologists rather than philosophers, but much the same air of panic, when in fact the essay was fine and the exam got passed0.

mrsjay · 15/10/2013 21:17

she just whinges and moans and meh poor beca I really liked her that swiss roll thing of rubys was a disaster Angry

IHaveA · 15/10/2013 21:18

What a bunch of meanies you all are Grin.

I think she should have flavoured her opera cake with Prozac and tramadol

I think she is going to win

mrsjay · 15/10/2013 21:18

DD says Ruby is like sand it is just annoying and irritating

oscar126 · 15/10/2013 21:19

Can't stand Ruby's general woe is me approach. Even if it is genuine and a function of a general lack of confidence, it doesn't make good television IMO.

Liked Beca, shame she has gone.

think Ruby's chances are enhanced by Paul fancying her
