We watched this morning. It was a nail biter for sure, but I was happy with the decision.

Ugh, I could barely watch the finale. Laura shouldn’t have been there. I wasn’t a huge fan of this season, but I did love that the crew and staff were invited to the finale celebration!

He's been my favorite since the beginning with his gluten free bakes in honor of his brother (my H has celiac and we really wish they'd do a gluten free episode one of these days).

I liked Hermine best of the cast this season but since I can’t have her I don’t mind Peter as the winner. I’m glad Laura didn’t win; my H and I kept cracking up every time she dropped another thing. I did appreciate her sass though.

I was happy with the ending, though I really wasn't sure who it was going to be until they called it. I did love though how very clear they were in the deliberation that it definitely wasn't Laura, haha.
I also love the updates at the end. I always enjoy seeing how close the contestants remain after the show, and especially with the fact that they all bubbled together for 6 weeks to film instead of traveling back and forth, I'm sure the bonds were even stronger.

Half the entertainment I get from watching this show is getting H to watch it with me and then he gets way more into it than I do 😂
H: Alright, if you really want to watch GBBO we can...
H thirty minutes later: STOP STIRRING YOUR CARAMEL YOU CONTROL FREAK MANIAC!
Contestant: I didn’t stir my caramel, I don’t know what went wrong,
H: LIAR.

I am df/gf (extremely intolerant) and always appreciate that too. I wish they would. I think they did one challenge a few seasons ago where they had to make gf quick breads or something and all of the bakers acted like they were tasked with the impossible...

I’m finishing the final and reflecting on the season. Hermine made lovely things but she gave up last week, otherwise I would have had a question on this winner. Laura was there to give decent things. She is your PTA bake sale winner. Dave is fun, but not a winner.
100% Peter was going to take this. He is a geek that lives on learning this (which I think Dave is too but since peter is younger he has had more time with the infok)0

I loved how Dave relaxed and improved through the season.

I love that Peter won, he deserved it. It was close though and I wouldn’t have been shocked if they’d picked Dave

Very happy with how it ended. I never warmed to Dave and Peter is adorable.
Looks like there is new Christmas content, so I’m saving that for when I need something soothing 😁

I watched the first of the two holiday episodes and I swear I've seen it before...like serious deja vu. Maybe it is just similar enough to the other holiday episodes plus having binged the whole series recently?

My daughter started it and I was like are you sure and then went back to Netflix and was like hih, I guess it is 🤷♀️ Also never thought I’d see Paul eat a cake pop 😂

Also, I love Derry Girls.

(an accident while filming the wizard of Oz open).

Bumping for the new season.
Love this group! Everyone is crushing on Chigs, but George and his beard are my fav 😁
Also, as per usual, I actually like everyone left right now.

snowyowl, my friends and I say the same, we hate that anyone has to go home anymore, they're all so likeable. I mean, Jurgen!! He's a reformed curmudgeon, isn't he?!! (throws hearts confetti)

Guiseppe is my favorite. I also really enjoy Maggie & Freya.

I really want them to develop a show where Giuseppe and Jurgen travel around the world discussing science and architecture and sampling local pastry. They're just so sweet to watch and I feel like they would be fun to have a conversation with.
There are a lot of wonderful people this season, I'm really enjoying it so far. It's exactly what I need in my life right now.

tinyjoys , if Guiseppe doesn't win, it will be a travesty. He's so creative and his bakes are so artistic! I hope every episode that he gets a handshake! cakewench, I'd watch that show.

I agree it’s such a great group this time. I really like all of them.
I watch with my brother and SIL and all 3 of us were dying when Jurgen won star baker and no one answered the phone.

I love Guiseppe, Jurgen, Lizzie, and George.
I can barely understand Lizzie most of the time, but her rapport with Noel is awesome. I loved that they wore matching jumpers in the first episode.

I do love all the people still left on the show. It's going to be so hard to see people go! However, Maggie is my least favorite at this point.
I love that Guiseppe won last week. I have to rewind and turn the volume up so I can understand Lizzie! Jurgen & Giuseppe are going to be hard to beat!

I love Jurgen & Giuseppe. I don't think Maggie will make it much longer - she doesn't have the showstopper skills.
I watch it with closed captions or else I wouldn't understand Lizzie at all

I watch it with closed captions or else I wouldn't understand Lizzie at all I started watching everything I stream with captions during MOTN feedings with N, and then never stopped. Wish I'd done that back when Sons of Anarchy was on, because it was a great show but the constant mumbling meant a ton of rewinding to understand everything.

I did the same thing with DD1 and now I feel like I can't hear as well unless the subtitles are on. H makes fun of me.

melohdy, that makes me chuckle, opposite of "turn down the music so I can read the street signs" kind of way
