I still think some are criticising Candice because they just didn't like her and for no other reason.
I like both Nadyia and Candice and I hope Candice manages to do what she wants on the back of winning. She won't match Nadyia for being so likeable and natural in front of the cameras, but I still think she'll do well. |

Thanks. Just watching now. The little boy who turned the mixer on in the intro

First time I've ever watched CBBC - are the presenters always so hyper and shouty?
I don't have children, but what struck me was how precocious are those children in their introductions. But they all seemed very likeable when they were doing the baking - and so much confidence! I don't remember being that confident in my 20s, let alone at their ages. They didn't seem phased by things going wrong. The two judges were very good with them, encouraging them but still pointing out what went wrong and not talking down to them nor discouraging them. Nadyia is a complete natural in that situation. |

Exactly, I hate to be one of those people but the misogyny is pretty obvious.

Thought they were all brilliant - at that age all I'd have been doing is probably making chocolate crispies or other things which don't much skill - let alone doing Gravity Defying cakes and icing and so on. And agree that the judges pitch it just right - not that keen on Allegra normally but have to say she was good here and Nadyia is, as you said, a natural with them. |

The 2 bloke are very OTT from what I remember but tbh I do not blame them for throwing themselves away from Anabel (think that was her name) when she was wielding the knives within inches of them
. Not quite sure how she got through as she seemed a disaster in the kitchen ![]() The "2 blokes", Sam and Mark were OK. A bit condescending to the young contestants, but OK. |

I meant the male and female presenters who did their bit before the show started being hyper and shouty. They do the links between programmes. The last person I saw doing this was Phillip Schofield in the broom cupboard.

It's a pity that Bake Off has ended. Would have loved to see Mel and Sue asking the bakers whether they have washed their hands as on Junior Bake Off! Then get them to show their hands to prove it.

Seems a odd as there cannot be a series until 2018 - contractually.

“Hardball” BBC tactics over Bake Off mean Channel 4 almost certain not to air a full series next year
Exclusive: The Corporation is in no mood to compromise and is likely to hold the show’s producers to a clause preventing a full series next year http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-...ries-next-year |

Loved the start with Paul, Mary, Mel and Sue in bed together!
So nice to see the old contestants back, especially with the clips of their best (and worst) bits. |

Mary-Anne's cake sounds lovely - lemon curd, ginger and speculaas.

Looks like Ali's lop-sided cake has been "Celebrating Jesus" a little too much.
