    Happy with the result, well done Frances.

    Hope the Beeb have listened to public opinion this year and go back to the GBBO roots for next season.

    Well done - started off not liking her much, but she has really grown on me

    Presumably the winner will have to do some personal appearances and demonstrations and I think she is the more mature of the three bakers to cary this out. Ruby is too downcast a lot of the time but Frances seems very happy and has an even temperament.

    The three women looked happy at the emd there.
    Nice series if a bit lacking in flair

    It was always Kimberley's to lose and unfortunately she did indeed lose it, mostly on that disastrous picnic pie.

    But well done Frances !!

    Cant believe the state of Ruby's cake.
    A bride would be really hacked off seeing that on the table surely?

    No surprise there.
    No way Kimberly could win after that horrendous squishy pie in the first task. Ruby lost it with the over bake and look of final cake. Frances was the most consistent.
    Bit 'meh' though. No way am I saying I could do better!! But oh my gosh, really?! the entire country and that's the winning standerd?

    I think they absolutely have to take this into account when deciding a winner. Frances has shown herself to be mature, able to handle pressure and criticism yet remain cheerful and she will do them proud. Well done.

    Oh it's so fixed.

    It was obvious from week 3 that the fix was in for Ruby.

    It's so clear that Ruby is the BBC's choice, she's had so much screen time.

    There's no point watching it's so obvious Ruby will win.

    And so on and so on.

    : )

    I always liked Frances. She was so lovely the entire series and I really like that she kept doing the creative stuff even when they kept knocking her down for it. Brilliant result.
