Equal measures of heh ! then awe at the eloquence of some of these children and wow at their baking skills. Puts my baking skills to shame Smile

I think Liam is great as a judge and i'm liking him a lot more than I did his baking show where he was a bit too excitable. He's giving great feedback to the kids and his technical challenges for them are brilliant.

I love how the kids give back to Harry, he's great at distracting them from stress and disaster.

ppeatfruit · 21/11/2019 09:30

Thank you greentea and LaBelle Grin

I like Harry with the children too.

How can I put this... Is anyone else a bit 🤔 about the use of pronouns and name of one of the contestants... I'm convinced they are identifying as something other than their sex. If no one knows who I might be referring to then I am wrong.

I’ll admit that had passed me by, MrsJamin , though I do usually notice these things. Is it someone who’s still in the competition? Now you’ve said it I’m starting to wonder. I do really notice that the adults are very obviously not allowed to touch any of the kids (though Liam did put a consoling hand on Kian’s shoulder yesterday, which was very noticeable given the previous lack of contact).

I like Harry Hill in this, I think he and the contestants have a great ‘who is this slightly baffling geezer’ vibe going now, which is funny. At one point when an eviction had been announced, he and Pru shared a lovely look that summed up everything about being parents and the amazingness (not a word but ykwim) of children. Fin and Vaughan melt my heart.

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 21/11/2019 13:27

Nope, don't know who you mean MrsJamin, give us a clue 🤔
I think Tom W is adorable,I keep expecting him to be sent packing and cheer when he gets a reprieve to fight another day, but actually I think they're all lovely with each other and their parents must be very proud of how encouraging and supportive they've all been.

One of dd's friends went on junior bake-off a couple of years ago. Her cakes are truly amazing, I don't know many adults who could bake that well.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 21/11/2019 18:08

MrsJamin don’t know who you mean either.

ChessieFL · 21/11/2019 19:36

I’m really enjoying this, they are all fantastic bakers! I think Liam is a great judge, he gives good technical feedback but also finds nice things to say. I have no idea which contestant you’re talking about either MrsJamin

LaBelleSauvage123 · 21/11/2019 21:32

Really pleased Aleena did better again today - she’s great.

ppeatfruit · 22/11/2019 08:08

I WOULD watch it more but the ad breaks are soooo long and incredibly annoying.

Chickenpie9 · 22/11/2019 19:09

Just watched the final and it was really good . Such a likeable bunch of kids .

LaBelleSauvage123 · 22/11/2019 21:33

I always record it and watch it later so I can ff through the ads. Final was great!

Bluelightdistrict · 23/11/2019 23:51

Really wasn't expecting Finn to win.
@MrsJamin Are you referring to Finn?
Harry Hill has been so irritating throughout this series, you can see them cringing when he's interrupting their baking!

june2007 · 24/11/2019 00:00

They are all very good. Was it this series or last years when a girl called burnt by caramel. she carried on but that must have received medical attention.

SilverBangle · 24/11/2019 01:46

@MrsJamin. I have no idea who you are talking about??

Anyway...I think any of the finalists could have won it

EleanorReally · 24/11/2019 07:33

just catching up with this,
how great
love harry hill

LaBelleSauvage123 · 26/11/2019 10:39

I agree that it came down to the final showstopper. I think Eliza was probably the best baker overall and thought she would win but I guess Finns cake must have just edged it.

Toddlerteaplease · 26/11/2019 20:06

I agree that Eliza was the better and more consistent baker. She deserved to win.

Redglitter · 26/11/2019 23:12

I couldn't believe Eliza didnt win. She was consistently good

I hope if there's another series they drop that buffoon Harry Hill and ger a good host for it

Ellmau · 11/01/2021 21:09

New series! Anyone watching?

The rainbow cake looked beautiful.

Loved the little girl not allowed sweets taking the opportunity to make a sweet themed fantasy cake.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 11/01/2021 22:07

Yes me! Another lovely bunch of youngsters. Rees and the blond boy whose name I’ve forgotten are ones to watch.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 11/01/2021 22:08

And the girl who did the Jamaican waterfall cake.

callmeadoctor · 12/01/2021 00:51

The kids are fab, so are judges and Harry Hill!!

Toddlerteaplease · 14/01/2021 17:13

Who Is the really annoying female presenter?
