    Got to watch it this evening. Well done Will! Rubbish judging, apart from awarding your technical 1 st.
    Looking forward to next week!

    Way behind this week, but I already saw from your FB page that you got to the final Will. Well done :D I'm not going to be watching the final life unfortunately :( I'll have to block your page and the tv3 page from my news feed til I get to watch if!

    Well done again Will.

    I have to say, I love TGBBO but apart from watching a fellow Boarsie on TGIBO I'm finding the Irish one hard to watch, it just comes across as a bad imitation, which I suppose it is. I just think it's the usual bad TV3 production that's letting it down, plus the set looks really cheap in comparison to TGBBO. The judging is also all over the place, and the rushed nature due to all the ads breaks the flow too much. Apart from all that it's great! Ha! :D
    On a side note, Will spotted in town last week with a TV crew...... Hmmmmm..... ;)

    Just in case (although I don't think it really is one), I've added a spoiler tag to your post, BaZmO ;).

    Best of Luck in the Final Will!! I'm not much a baker myself but follow this thread and the Cooking Club to get myself motivated.

    I think I saw you in M&S on Grafton St at lunchtime yesterday and I was going to say "Hello Chong" but then thought that might be a bit weird!!:P

    Really excited for you now Will.

    Paul has real confidence in you which is great and what he said was spot on. You've really come into your own since the first week ! I'll try and get this week live !

    What a load of absolute nonsense.

    How can you finish third when Steven didn't even complete the damn thing?

    I agree. Ridiculous decision.

    You'd have been better off just ignoring one of the items from the very start and just focusing on three of them if that's the way they're judging it.

    Really strange question but was it filmed on the same day? I have noticed this a few times they talk about today and tomorrow but then we see they are wearing the same clothes,

    Have heard elsewhere that they are told to wear the same clothes both days in case something needs re-filming on the second day.

    Same in GBBO

    Well done Will, getting to the final is amazing. Just unlucky in the end, thought the lighthouse cake was great!

    I think the fact Steven got 2nd place in the first challenge is a bit of a farce.

    Congrats on the engagement. ;)
