Things I Exclaimed At The Great British Bake Off - Week 10: The Final
- I like how the final always starts with a reminder as to why the finalists are rubbish.
- Candice thinks that you can get toned from baking. I shall let this lunacy speak for itself.
- Jane says that her pavlova will be red, white and blue, and Mary has a look on her face that says "oh, how lovely". Paul, however, yells "power to the people!" and runs out the tent, chanting.
- "As it's a special occasion, this is Prosecco for my strawberries," says Candice. I know it can't be true, yet I feel like she's used Prosecco every week.
- "My bottom's cracking," says the ever-modest Jane.
- A Hollywood handshake in the final? That must be gutting for the other competitors.
- And a second one?! OK, Andrew has just been emotionally shattered.
- I hate to be critical of Mary's sample cake, but those sandwich layers are simply not even.
- Candice cannot resist doing something extra! Raspberries around her Victoria sponge; who asked for that?
- So all equal after the technical. If it all comes down to the showstopper, did we really need the first day of baking?
- If Jane's daughter doesn't wind up with a day time chat show, something's gone wrong at Channel 4.
- "If I didn't have a plan right now, I'd be flapping," says Andrew. We then cut to Jane... who is flapping.
- Selasi's been on screen for less than 15 seconds, and I'm still hoping he wins...
- I honestly don't know if I'd trust Mel and Sue to help carry my showstopper to the table in this final. Having said that, I suppose they'll never get to do it again...
- I hate when the feedback makes you assume who's won.
- It does appear to be traditional British picnic weather this year, so that seems appropriate. A grey cloud over the tent for the BBC's final bake off.
- Balls... Selasi didn't win.
- I would like to see a baking show with Howard, Nadiya, and Selasi now. BBC, get on it would you?
- And so ends the Bake Off as we know it... It's been emotional.
For now though, I say a fond farewell to Mary, Mel and Sue, and best of luck to Paul. I look forward to what you all do next.
