They showed him, but I can't remember the comment about him.

Andrew has to be gay

Love it


If my time in academia has taught me anything, its that everybody is a little bit biased

I thought they said that he had made his Dad's retirement cake and his nan had approved.

It wouldn't get as much coverage in Italy as it has here and maybe that poster didn't hear that it's moving to Channel 4 (if that person lives in Italy that is). They wouldn't be as obsessed about it over there as they are here.

So? Does it matter?

Yes!!

I loved it too. Saw it with Sheridan Smith - twice.

So glad Candice won. She was the best baker and has to be one of the best winners.

Very well said by Mr Osman. Exactly how I feel.

Anyone wondering if they'll try and make a show out of Candice and Jane's 'roadtrip'?

Right result based on the performances over the tasks but sadly it was a final of least errors rather than best bakes. I think it will be increasingly this way on C4 as they do like their drama.

That might have been the idea but surely the BBC wouldn't get to show it. It will either be on C4 or not at all, I suspect the latter. I think this year's contestants might lose out in the short term over who is allowed to broadcast and produce what.

The run through had shown each contestant individually. Then as part of Candice's info it said she was planning a get away with Jane. It said the two of them were planning a baking touring holiday together. Therefore they put up a picture of the two of them sitting and chatting together.

It was an image that fitted the on screen narrative, so quite good editing really.

Yes they did as they go through every contestant. Im meaning more during the post winner reveal. They showed Candice as the winner and they showed Jane talking etc but they didnt show Andrew talking about anything.
I wouldnt have thought anything of them both sitting at the table when it was mentioned about Candice and Jane going traveling but there was also an extra chair which was empty, so with that and them not showing him seemed a bit odd.

Hasn't it been that way for some time? I'm sure they are usually given far less time for the final challenge than they need and the challenge is either "make dozens of many things" or "produce a magnificent cake that would usually take two days in two hours".

Didn't last years final produce two wedding cakes that would reduce a bride to tears, and not in a good way. One of them was battleship grey!

They showed us what each contestant had been doing since Bake Off was filmed. They said that Andrew had baked his Dad's retirement cake; when it came to Candice, they said that she and Jane were going to do a baking road trip together. That is why she and Jane were sitting at a table together without Andrew.

Unless both have an exclusivity clause with the production company, I can't see why they can't make a show for the Beeb.

I absolutely agree he was shown on that bit like everyone else and the table thing i wouldnt have given it a second thought but both Candice and Jane had oportunity to speak to the camera post result but Andrew didnt. Maybe that is what i should have wrote to start with to save my extra waffle haha

Longer term not a problem as the Beeb were quick enough to nail down Nadiya but short term who knows. It would seem a little odd that the production company didn't have some limited clause.

I don't want a show from Candice and Jane, it would be boring.

It's been an average year in my opinion and a good time for it to move on. I wasn't gripped this year.

Last year was the best bake off ever, the final three were amazing and Nadiya was a great winner.

A disappointing end to a disappointing year. The right person won I guess, but it was a shame she was in this series at all. They didn't get the mix right.

Last year was peak Bake Off, it's a shame that the last series I will watch is the one where for the first time ever, someone I didn't like won it.

If Candice brings her pug they might get away with it

But seriously I'm inclined to agree with you. This year's batch have been pleasant enough, nobody really dislikeable which helps but they don't have the charisma of Nadiya. Selasi got a bit closer on the charisma front but the others just haven't got "it". Andrew maybe a bit more too but to be honest a Cambridge graduate engineer with Rolls Royce is hardly likely to give up his prestigious career, not at his stage in life, older maybe.

And why on earth shouldn't she be in it, especially as she turned out to be the best of the lot?!
