I think my money is on Jurgen and Guiseppe to get to the final.
Jurgen has the best eyebrows since Denis Healey.
I can't understand what the Liverpudlian woman is saying - it needs subtitles. She supposedly sells posh cars yet has the hair of a children's party entertainer. I wonder what she looks like in the showroom or has she done her hair just for the show as I assume the have taken a leave of absence to bubble until they are out?
I think Tom was picked originally because he looks and sounds rather "odd" and the whole geek/model railway thing presents him very quickly in that box.
Crystalle has clearly been picked as the pretty, assertive woman who Paul will sort of flirt/be challenging with. Already they are editing it to linger on the interaction between the two of them.
Maggie I am sure will be the most unflustered with the technicals. Suspect she has baked almost everything once that they could throw at them. She does seem to sound rather posh and to the point of not being so easy to follow.
George I hope matures into the show. He looked really nervous but friendly in a burly bloke/matey way.
It does feel to me when they do the introductions that there is a bit of a stress to show lots of family and it feels rather hetronormative - especially with all the men that they seem to show their families and wives very quickly to show they're STRAIGHT men (but in a baking show) whereas the women seem to be shown doing things like playing tennis or in their workplace. The one middle aged gay is always shown doing something really inoffensive like walking a dog with their partner. They always seem to pick nicely partnered gays as the producers I think struggle with how to deal with a singleton gay unless shown being best mates with their mum and living still at home.
