Great British Bake Off

Goodness me, never knew that gingerbread men were so ornate in the past!

I love this programme! The factual bits are so interesting!

Was sorry to see Catherine go, although she did deserve it this week.

I'm sure they will turn out looking like little dog poos!!! My cooking/baking tastes nice but looks bloomin' awful!

it's my favourite programme, but Kathrine I really like Kathrine.

I hope Brendan wins.

Those tea cakes must be the messiest things ever to make, and they were huge. The last ones I bought to try were Cadbury's which were ok but really small and dainty, so you just eat twice as many.

So, do the M & S ones have the little blob of jam in the middle? Cadbury's don't.

Shame Cathryn was voted off, I think everyone liked her. I also liked Sarah-Jane, the vicar's wife, I thought she was comical, a bit Bridget Jonesy. I used to like Brendan, but he's become a bit predictable - I just wish he'd c...ck-up on something, just once!!

I also liked the gingerbread derelict barn but I don't think that was his initial intention

I love this programme... I have thought several times about applying to go on it, however I'm not brave enough!

Hubby was excited about the chocolate teacakes, but they are so much faff, I don't think they're worth it...

I thought the 'derelict barn' was a good 'save the day' idea, but he should have been told off for it.

Kathryn was really struggling I think - she got more flustered with every task - definitely time to go!

I thought Brendan would win but think he has stayed the same, whereas, James (the one with glasses?) Seems to have passed him and I think he might do it.
