Is it me or is anyone else thinking someone should fire the cameraman. All the shots are focusing on everyones faces and we can hardly see what they are baking. Do we need such. Lose up shots. It's driving me nuts. Why do they always have to change something that works. I may have to give this series up.

![]() We can't taste, smell or touch the bakes and only get very short clips of how they go about baking (especially the early episodes) so at least give us good along look at what they look like! but please don't fire the cameraman/woman - fire the director! or at least ask them nicely to change things

With a real crumble - sugar, flour and proper full-cream butter. Yum.
... damn it, now I'll have to make myself a desert - I was doing so well with my daily brown rice, celery and water...

She's still writing in the Guardian (and ranting elsewhere). Her attempt at Jaffa cakes looks awful:

Andrew was robbed and you could tell by Tom's expression, he was not expecting to win it!

He seems really nice, but for some reason he reminds me of Dougal from Father Ted. Not Ardal O'Hanlan, actually Father Dougal...
![]() Dammit! All I'm going to see is Dougal now, thanks a bunch for that! ![]() Funnily enough Ted being a bit of fame seeker I could actually see attempting to apply for the show...Only for Dougal, Mrs. Doyle and even Father Jack to end up there instead. ![]() Anyways back on topic! Whilst admittedly Michael's was no where near the best, I however don't think he deserved to go this week but then that's just me. |

Michael looked handsome on Extra Slice. Pity he had to go. BTW I can't imagine drinking 99% alcohol, I had 70% and it was pretty strong already.

Ideally I would like to see a male contestant win.
Still think the decision to eliminate Michael was unfair and wrong Not a fan of Kate, Candice and Val Didn't he look different on Exra Slice ![]() Kate is to sickly sweet, Candice I cannot stand, Val seems a tad mad. Here's hoping it is a male winner this year. |

There is something about Candice I dislike...I just can't put my finger on it.
Val defo should have been voted off. |

But all the pouting and playing up to the camera give the impression that Candice is primarily interested in herself. I think she really, really wants to be a celeb, and she thinks that Bake Off is a way of achieving it.
Spot on! I think that you have just nailed the reason why I dislike Candice. It's obvious she wants to be noticed and famous. |

![]() Think Kate is a good Baker and will get to the final, but think Andrew and Tom will also be there. |

Maybe she'll apply to go on CBB next, it's full of Z listers anyway.

Oh, you mean Betty Boop !!

Maybe she'll publish a cook book or whatever, but the only GBBO contestants who make any splash at all are the finalists and usually only the winner. Hands up who can remember off the top of their heads who went out on week four last year? And we're all fans of the show... GBBO is not a path to fame. Unless you win. |

She's been involved with three hours of TV total. Is our celebrity culture that debased that such limited exposure already qualifies?

If you can get reasonably far ... then your life could change post Bake Off. I wonder if contestants have one eye on this now? There's a sort of Bake Off royalty ... some of them might fancy joining (I'm thinking ... Candice ... possibly Jane.) |

Yet people think that they know enough about her from those three (very heavily edited and of course she was not on for the whole of the time) hours to make quite unpleasant comments about her.

Usually, after watching GBBO, I am inspired to do my version of one of the bakes - I made Viennese Whirls following the show the week before last, but last week (bread week), did nothing for me

I like all the blokes in this series, but not so keen on the women particularly Val. I don't know what it is about her but she gets on my tits.
I went to the theatre the other evening and saw Sue Perkins Spectacles show. In it she has a section where the audience shout out questions to her. Naturally enough, someone asked if Val won Bake Off. Of course she wouldn't be drawn to answering but threw the question back out asking if we wanted Val to win. There was a big shout of NO was the reply
