Anyone else watching?
Loved loved loved tonight's episode! Martha at 17 was amazing but right decision to send her home as all the others left are even more amazing!
Can't pick between the ones left. I so wish I could bake like them! May have to try a few new bakes soon.....

Yes dd and I have been watching this every week. Agree Martha was the one to go tonight; but I thought she has amazing knowledge of baking for a 17 year old. She said last week she did a project on choux pastry so must be doing A level related to cooking. She probably has a Mum who is very good at baking who has taught her lots of techniques. But agree it does make you wish you could bake as well.

I was sad to see her go. Shame she never got star baker after being top in a couple of the technical challenges.
Wish my kids could bake like her... but then it wouldn't do my waistline much good.
Finding it really hard to spot a winner. Even Richard, although he keeps getting star baker, doesn't seem to be significantly above the others.

Have watched every week, and have just been amazed at Martha---but was her time to leave. The others are all so even, think it really be a matter of who makes a mistake on the day.

Was sad to see Martha go but it was her time. The fact that she was studying for and sitting A levels at the same time as doing bake off was impressive.
I think that Richard and Nancy are Paul's favourites and as long as one of them doesn't make a mistake that one will win. For some reason he doesn't seem to like Chetna and I think he is a bit ambivalent about Louis. I think any one of them is capable of winning now, kind of how it was last year but then there was a surprise winner.
I am enjoying an extra slice too.
Can't wait to find out.

Final Tonight!
We can't watch until after its finished as we watch on iplayer and don't have a TV license...oh the suspense!
I think Richard really ought to win having won Star Baker a record number of times but I know it doesn't work that way. I would quite like Nancy to win. I love her sense of humour :-) The Male Judge indeed :-)

hope you have seen the final larsi. If not don't read any further....
Was pleased that Nancy won although it was a tough call. I think Luis' comment that its always Nancy's bakes he eats after the show was telling.
Roll on next year!

Yes we saw it about 10pm Cale
I was quite emotional for some reason...I suppose because they were.
Louis was very generous in his comments (not that Richard wasn't pleased for Nancy) Richard wasn't going to win was he, after the first day being such a disaster. Shame Louis didn't get star baker more times. He was more consistent than Richard I think. But Nancy deserved to win She was very consistent throughout and obviously a very able lady from the little bio they did, and down to earth with it!
So its Girls 3 Boys 2 so far in the Bake Off Just sayin'

I think Nancy deserved to win. I am having withdrawal symptoms so watching bakeoff master class. May attempt Florentines this weekend. Will let you know how I get on! LB x

I'd love to try all this baking lark but my double chins (see things our children say thread) tell me I should avoid that!
look forward to hearing about your florentines though lovelybee - you never know we may see you starring in years to come.......
