Hated her look in Ep1, once I heard her deliberately dropping the double entendres she was straight to the top of my list. She's consistently been the most ambitious and inventive. Though in all honesty there's no Nadia or Flora this year, so its "best of a bad job" generally for me.

The Teaboy Oct 2016 4:55pm, 13 Oct 2016 14,772 posts	0 The Teaboy I do like her saucy edge. Can't tell the GF that though... Perhaps this needs to go on the people you fancy but shouldn't thread?
Velociraptor Oct 2016 5:19pm, 13 Oct 2016 34,683 posts	0 Velociraptor I would like to think Candice is hamming up the pouty-wiggly thing, but I suspect she's not, and I can't abide pouty-wiggly women.
The Teaboy Oct 2016 5:28pm, 13 Oct 2016 14,773 posts	0 The Teaboy I don't mind a bit of pouting and wiggling. At the right time of course... Bake-off is full of so much sauce, it feels appropriately inappropriate.
postieboy Oct 2016 6:12pm, 13 Oct 2016 3,818 posts	0 postieboy Andrew, Candice and Jane in the final. Selasi has been lucky to scrape through these past few weeks and only got through because Benjamina had a bad week. Any three of those can win. Andrew is the most consistent but Candice and Jane can produce 'wow' factor bakes. It's very interesting now.
Meglet Oct 2016 6:25pm, 13 Oct 2016 17,095 posts	0 Meglet Sad to see Benjamina go, and whilst I like Selasi I think he will be next. I find Jane too smug and Candice just irritating, especially the pouting. I'd like to see Andrew win but not sure he's got the panache to put it all together-though he has improved over the series.
Heinzster Oct 2016 7:45am, 14 Oct 2016 503 posts	0 Heinzster I have found everyone this year to be a bit bland. Candice is the one who stands out, but more in an irritating way. Glad the lipstick is less offensive than at the start. I did wonder if the peacock was coloured with lipsticks that didn't make the grade, and I thought it was a bit amateurish for this stage in the competition. I'm sorry Benjamina left. She was more consistent than the rest. My bet is Selasi will go next week, any of the others could win depending on what sort of a week they have.
Red Ant Oct 2016 8:49am, 14 Oct 2016 3,963 posts	0 Red Ant I caught up with GBBO last night. I was sorry to see Benjamina go But at this point in the game a bad week can trip you up. I would really like Selasi to go forwards to the final but he is very hit and miss. If Andrew hadn't made such a dog's dinner of his showstopper he would have won star baker again (his pies were brilliant :)) I felt that Candice's showstopper was in some ways more simple than the others. My understanding of the task was that the marchpane/marzipan was meant to "stand up". Did I misunderstand that? Therefore neither Candice or Jane's met the brief (although Jane's swans were great). Oh well, I've probably grabbed the wrong end of the egg whisk! I would like either Selasi or Andrew to win, but I'm not convinced either of them will :-/
Wriggling Snake Oct 2016 9:34am, 14 Oct 2016 13,311 posts	0 Wriggling Snake Tudor week was ace! Pies, pies, pies, there MUST be a pie week next time, ah, oh no, there is no next time. Candice's was best for 2 reasons, Peacock, very Tudor and it had a surprise in the middle. Selasi's was good too, apart from blow torching the top. He's cool "I broke my crown". Simnel cake is an excellent thing, especially when you ditch the religious clap-trap. Benjamina had to go, Mexican!! On that alone. Whining Andrew is the least favourite here.
