I'd clearly make a crap judge.
She's obviously a fab baker, having won star baker twice but I really really hope next week is her last as all of the pouting is driving me potty.
DP thinks it's because she's trying to hide wrinkles around her mouth, which is insane if it's true.
All the ridiculous gurning is giving me The Rage.

Also, thanks to the Mnetter last week who mentioned Paul using "Mary" in every sentence.
Now that's all I hear.

I'm sure she's lovely btw Blush but I do wish shed keep her mouth still!

Andrew is my favourite and I'm gutted he hasn't won star baker yet.

I do like Candice she can clearly bake and her stuff is always really well presented. I liked the scales for her amuse bouche.

MrsJayy · 23/09/2016 08:28

Hercanapies amuse bouche looked nice

HeyNannyNanny · 23/09/2016 09:25

NightWanderer Spot on! Ramsey Bolton, that's EXACTLY who he reminds me of. I was trying to work it out! Poor bloke...

Facial twitches aren't intentional or conscious. Quite shocking anyone would be furious or see red about witnessing a total strangers having facial tics.

wtffgs · 23/09/2016 09:37

Her pouting does annoy me. Her job as a PE teacher is a far worse crime! Grin

I hope Jane wins because she is the best baker. Selassi should stay till the final because he's cute but slapdash

milkyface · 23/09/2016 09:39

YANBU! Her face movements drive me up the wall, whether they're intentional or not I bet they are.

She's a good baker but if she won and did her own show I wouldn't watch it because all I can concentrate on is her bloody mouth and not what she's baking!

She hasn't been all that fabulous, she's done some proper crap bakes as well as the good ones! Didn't she make something last week that completely collapsed?

Beeziekn33ze · 23/09/2016 09:39

Like the lipstick range, love her baking, pub was amazing, sticky carpet a genius touch. Yes, she pulls faces but I can overlook that. Imagine she's a fun PE teacher (I think that's what she does). Heading to win I think!

A11TheSmallTh1ngs · 23/09/2016 09:56

Oh god, Tom IS Ramsay Bolton. Now you've said it, I can't unsee it..

And there's nothing about Ruby I don't hate. Based on that article, she's even more up her own arse than she used to be.

GrouchyKiwi · 23/09/2016 10:06

I've really warmed to Candice over the series so far so her gurning no longer bothers me. I'd love a final with her, Jane and Bmin (Selasi can leave in the second last episode). At this point I think Jane will win.

I liked Ruby when she was on it, mostly because she reminded me of a pre-Raphaelite painting. Her persona post-show is less enjoyable.

Paul certainly has cold, dead eyes. But I still want Mary to be my grandmother and bake me lots of tasty things.

There is no such thing as a fun PE teacher. They are all sadistic sports fascists made bitter and twisted by the fact all the other teach get a nice warm classroom and look down their noses at them.

MmmCuriouSir · 23/09/2016 10:30

She's hot. I like her too.

PregnantAndEngaged · 23/09/2016 10:31

YABU. I love Candice! She was my favourite from the first episode. Great baker and her lippy is always spot on :D

ample · 23/09/2016 10:33

Candice is a decent baker and has potential to win but agree with HeyNanny, the pouting is enough now (was for me after the first episode) and the shades of lippy god no, are irritating.
Still.. I'm thinking the excessing pouting is not a good enough reason to off-her Grin
Did anyone else think Jane could have thrown daggers at Candice on winning star baker?
I like Benjamina and Selasi.
Selasi, probably won't win but I love how calm he is, certainly calmer than I am under stress in the kitchen. He can whisk and fold for me any day.

Just want to mention that all of the contestants are far better bakers than I would ever be in a that tent.

Cakeycakecake · 23/09/2016 10:36

I love her. She reminds me of my late sister. She's fab at what she does and the faces are amazing lol its like watching my sis for an hour.
I want her to win

Never a truer word . . . .

wtffgs · 23/09/2016 10:43

They're also utter twunts as colleagues!! Grin

HeyNannyNanny · 23/09/2016 12:23

LikeDylanInTheMovies I feel there is a background here Grin

She did, didn't she? But what is her post-show persona? I haven't kept up with her, or indeed most of the other ex-winners and finalists, at all. She writes for the Grauniad, doesn't she?

HandmaidsTail · 23/09/2016 12:47

Ahh Cakey, that's lovely. Smile

trevortrevorslatterfry · 23/09/2016 13:30

YY to Tom = Ramsay Bolton except Ramsay Bolton is HOT

I am now expecting to see a showstopper incorporating the Flayed Man in coming weeks Grin

ktfs · 23/09/2016 13:34

Glad im not the only one!
The camera man lingers on her while she licks her lips!!
Her pout reminds me of a cats bum.

Chopstick17 · 23/09/2016 16:02

Oh for gawd's sake what is wrong with this grown woman. Pouting 15 year old selfies are one thing but a reacher??? Really inappropriate!

Chopstick17 · 23/09/2016 16:02

teacher!!!

A11TheSmallTh1ngs · 23/09/2016 16:10

trevortrevorslatterfry

er, Ramsay Bolton is not hot (and I fancy Paul Hollywood) but he's pretty much the only one. Almost all of the rest of the adult male cast can stand in a line and go one after the other as far as I'm concerned. Jon, jorah, jamie, bronn, gendry, peter, daario, davos. Add Tywin and Eddard Stark to that as well. And Tyrion.

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 23/09/2016 16:16

I want Jane to win. I thought she should have won Star Baker.
