Finally the great british bake off is back and we can finally start feeling british on a weekly basis. Every Tuesday at 8pm. we can feel british. After all the contestants have all been introduced. I can honestly say there are a few stand out characters in this year.

Last year’s bake off featured Flo from Liverpool and every week i was always rooting for her and i kept saying “Our Flo”. she had such a gentle heart and a caring nature but sadly she was kicked out on week 5 or 6.

This week was biscuit week and it’s a simple challenge but under time limitations and the actual stress of being on the show can increase it’s difficulty. Few characters have gone into the background and they’ve become un-noticed in this weeks but these are the people we’ve got to worry about. Ruby is very good and i feel as if she could win it but it is only the first week and she could crack under the pressure. Manon won Star Baker for the first week and she’s very creative and very methodical with her baking and she’s got great time management skills that will hold in her favour later on the series.

A few people to watch out for are Kim-Joy, Ruby, Manon and Briony and let’s not forget Terry who created a 3D Sculpture using Brandy Snap and he literally painted his Gingerbread as if it was a canvas.

Sadly Imelda has been kicked out the first week. She wasn’t very good with her techincal challenge and even with her showstopper it wasn’t creative at all and when they brought it to the table for judging i said “well it might taste better than it looks” but as soon as paul hollywood said it was lacking in flavour and substance, that was it. i knew she was going to be kicked out. Ruby Showstopper challenge. even though it was finished in the design and i think ruby bit more off that she can chew. Prue and Paul very much liked it.

Tune in Next week when 11 of the contestants are making cakes including a crowd-pleasing signature challenge. Prue’s first technical challenge of the season and a chocolate collared showstopper.
