I want to know how Candice can make in those heels. I have to bake in slippers.

Cue Candice tears...
I can't warm to Candice the tears drive me mad

They didn't even mention Selasi and he was poor tonight!
He was pretty much middle throughout. The signature was cooked - probably too much - but as most were undercooked that put him higher than them, his technical he was 5th and the showstopper was about middle as well.

My husband has just sat here complaining about Candice for the past ten minutes - I quite like her, she wears her heart on her sleeve, I like that.

I don't know how you lot remember who's who, I can only spot a couple of them. I think they should all wear name badges, us oldies get a bit confused you know.

I am afraid Candice is starting to come across as a bit of an attention seeker always making everything about her.

Next week looks utterly delicious and life-threateningly calorific.

Candice is just desperate to win, isn't she? I mean, I'm sure they all are (well, except Selasi who seems to have accidentally wandered into the tent but decided to stay for a laugh), but at least they hide it better.

Tom won! Clearly the fact we didn't know who he was helped him.
I know who he is, he has been consistent all along just quietly getting on with it without any histrionics.
I cannnot warm to lipstick woman and 'it reminds me of plaiting my pony ' woman ,far too twee

Hope they all taste good as they don't look very appetising at all
They taste very good. You can actually put a jam or even a piece of plum or strawberry with sugar inside, so it's not just dough when cooked.

Genuine question - which is better? You'd kind of like people to be honest about it if possible, but being ambitious really doesn't seem to be in the bake off spirit. Not very 'British'...

Nothing wrong with being competitive IMO, as far as they don't turn on each other.

Really disappointed Andrew didn't get Star Baker, I absolutely adore him.

Selasi needs to up his game! I am warming to Jane as well.

Only 2 I want gone are Kate (cornflower woman) and Val (aerobic kicking) - both absolutely grind on me.

I think you can be upfront about wanting to win but not give off the vibe that if you didn't, you would weep into your bread and curse the earth for creating grain. That's the thing that's putting me off with her, it's just a little too much.

Val should have gone or Candice, think Michael going was an incorrect decision

It's my 20th wedding anniversary this eve (sick dog sick husband so not great) thank goodness for GBBO and other people's pain
Happy Wedding Anniverary. Snap it is ours too 14 years today, but Hubby is away. Dog ok (well apart from not liking the bath i have just given him). His complaints were louder than Paul Hollywoods on the bread making tonight, bless him that is my Dog Dylan and not Paul.

Nice one Tom - wont forget you next week

Lucky escapes for Candice and Val I feel this week
Why are they still in when either one should have gone this week. Wrong decision

I thought Andrew deserved star baker. That's two weeks in a row where he's just missed out.

Next week looks good. The key to good Yorkshire Puds is sizzling hot oil and batter that's been left to rest for at least an hour after mixing. I still can't decide if having it fridge cold makes them better or not, though.

Isn't she just I hope she don't win.


Selasi ... such a happy man.
