I'm addicted..... to the Great British Bake Off

O

Not that I should be analysing it too closely One of the reasons this programme is so engaging is that it doesn't take itself too seriously - it's competitive without cramming in a load of fake drama and doom music. .

Agree with that. I cant stand masterchef as its so over the top, but the bake off is easy viewing, full of puns and generaly just a good oct evenings tv.

Why its on BBC2 i dont know.

Just be thankful it's not on ITV.... all those 3 minute slots for adverts about posh flour and New Zealand butter every 12 minutes.

i must admit james? (scottish, jumper wearing glasses bloke) messed up the final bake off a bit, and im glad brendan didnt win!

Very glad Brendan didn't win. He sort of give me the creeps.

Once James slipped up on stage 1, Brendan and John were more or less level pegging but they both made mistakes on the second bake and on the third, John's chocolate cake was in a different league to Brendan's. You could argue that Brendan was more consistent over the series but it was about winning the final.

Agree - John's cake looked superb : properly professional.

Brendan's looked a bit amateurish.

I'm glad John won - seemed a nice lad. Brendan was a bit weird and James started to believe his own hype.

As I predicted earlier he would make 1 monumental cock-up which he did in the final by trying to be too clever.
