    I really enjoy show. But thought the showstopper was poor. A little to hard for 2nd week.

    I really wish they gave the contestants more time. Seeing people fuck up due to time restraints is not a bit entertaining to me. I'd love to see more pieces finished to a high standard.

    I hate biscuit week, it's always boring. The fortune cookies were a crap challenge, I didn't enjoy watching it at all.

    Can't wait for bread week!

    I feel ill-at-ease with the two presenters. They're just not jelling for me. They seem an odd couple. The lady - don't even remember her name - was on Extra Slice last night. She seems a good character, taken on her own. Taken as a pair of presenters, there seems to be something lacking between them. Somehow, they don't "go together". Just my opiniion. Maybe things will improve as they go on.

    I agree. I like Noel though, I feel he fits in well with the show.
    However I'd not miss her at all if she was to go!

    I'm with the Scottish guy - the only tea cakes I know are of the Tunnocks variety. :D

    Is she the blonde mammy? Not a fan either, she's being a bit irritating this week.

    Have to say I like pretty much everyone else though!

    Ah glad I'm not the only one. She just rubs me up the wrong way. Can't even really say why!

    I like pretty much everyone else too.

    Yes Noel is definitely growing on me too but not mad on the woman...he is getting better each week I think!

    That handbag looked amazing. I liked the look of the ice creams too and loved the name.

    Awwwwww :mad:

    Well I'm glad that Stephen got toppled off his Star Baker podium, which I suspect he was beginning to get a little too used to.

    Anyone else feel like calling shenanigans on him???

    I find myself spending each weekly episode willing Liam to do well! Think he might just be a bit young for it all... I'd love to see him back in five or ten years time and see what he could do!

    She's a bit cocky and entitled. When she put her arms in the air while they were praising her showstopper. Then back down to earth a second later.

    There's one ad break too many. I wouldn't mind three but four is too much.

    I find myself looking forward to what Stephen produces in the showstopper each week. He's such an artist and so creative. Liam is so funny and endearing you're just wishing him to do well. I was sorry to see Florence go, she's a lovely woman.

    For me this is the best series I've seen but I've missed a few.

    Was away during the week so just catching up now. I don't like Stacey either and I REALLY don't like Yan. There's just something smug about her.
    I like all the rest though.
    I read somewhere that apparently in every series so far whoever has been star baker in bread week has gone on to the final. Anyone know if that's true?

    I really enjoyed it this week. That red wine bread was so funny!
