Guardian article on all this year's contestants www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/aug/16/the-great-british-bake-off-meet-the-2016-contestants

[seasidesally]

have looked forward to this for months

[Trills]

I am largely listening, not watching, because I am making real life cake!

[Doublemint]

Omg is it just me wondering if one of the contestants is the original "lemon drizzle murderer" off of classics?!?

[Trills]

Don't put a filling in a drizzle cake. That's not how that works.

[RebootYourEngine]

Did you see marys face when he mentioned gin

[seasidesally]

daft ??? maybe but if they have asked or a lemon drizzle how come some arent,or is it used as a base and then they design their own take on it

[JackBauersBag]

I do not like Candice.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

I can't remember their names. They need name badges like the celebs on masterchef!!

[fourquenelles]

Strange definition of what a drizzle cake is going on here me thinks. Quite like the sound of the G&T cake though.

[PurpleDaisies]

I'm not keen on a lot of these...too fancy! I agree, what's a filling doing in a drizzle cake?

[CrotchetQuaverMinim]

they're missing the innuendo and the contestants are almost deliberately feeding lines...

"I like the flavour of a Cox" and something else moments later that I was sure they'd run with, but no.

[LadyMonicaBaddingham]

Page 3 of drizzle cakes... The innuendo begins in earnest

[Teasgonecoldagain]

I have KitchenAid envy once again!

[GrouchyKiwi]

I love the scientists. Their baking procedures are so absurd.

[PikachuSayBoo]

I would do the MarsLady lemon drizzle cake if I was competing. Yummiest cake ever!

[Raahh]

DD1 and I love this. She is the kiss of death though- she likes to draw pictures of the contestants. At least 4 times last year, it was the person who ultimately left.

I miss Tamal, and his syringe method

[ALemonyPea]

Why have some of them not done a lemon drizzle cake? Will they be marked down do you think?

[ClaraLane]

One of my nurses is in this series!!! I'm so excited for her!

[VanellopeVonSchweetz99]

Not keen on Candice either.
The one I'd love to try is Benjamina's.

[HalsallRedux]

I'm afraid I'm getting rather irked by the physical jerks woman.

[Trills]

Or just name on screen every time they are on, yes.

At least for the first few episodes.

[Roussette]

Not sure about some of these, but my dear old Mum used to do a mean lemon drizzle, it was delicious, all lemony and crusty on the top with sugar and drizzle

[PurpleDaisies]

alemonypea the brief was a "drizzle cake", not a lemon drizzle cake.

[HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone]

Am so glad this is back, but am slightly confused as to most of their definitions of a drizzle. Am also loosing track of names.

[foxessocks]

I don't think they have to do lemon drizzle just drizzle
