    It's like Peter is presenting a cookery show. He's so calm and knowledgeable. Very impressive

    A think plenty feel sympathy for her.

    It's the judges that people are criticising.

    That comment about 35degrees from purue.
    forget all the issues people have with the judges.
    My qualms lie with the producers.
    its a given at this stage that bakeoff will have temperature issues. Every year for god knows how long there has been a heat wave
    That. I find the most unfair thing about this show.
    that they dnt move it to spring and force them to set things when its chemically/physically impossible

    Ah look its not like this prize is worth thousands.its a cake stand.
    If it were worth actual money id be more concerned with having her in it. Her flavours are always there She just misses something in execution. Shiit happens and she comes back every week trying

    I'd love that cake stand!

    God I feel very sorry for Laura with how much people are vilifying her. It's just cake at the end of the day, this is supposed to be the nicest/friendliest show on TV.

    I'm v excited to see what they all put up for showstopper!

    Those walnut whips look a lot nicer than ones in shop.

    Laura last again, so we knew she shouldn't be in a final but this is really a joke.

    I like Dave's idea of redemption tower. I hope it's gonna pay off for him.

    She seems like a really nice lady tbh....but...come on how many disasters has she had?!
    There is pretty much one disaster a week with her.
    I don't blame her....what the heck were Paul and Prue thinking putting her through over hermine last week?

    Well, I think he's mad as well if I'm honest. Why would you not showcase your best bits in the final?

    Kudos to Dave for offering to help the others when he finished first, that was big of him.

    Think Peter's looks most impressive from the bits they've shown.

    She was put in over other people every week because her bakes always tasted nice. Over peoples who made things that were inedible or tasted rank.
    Paul and prue obviously value taste (go back and read pauls tweet).

    She has not had a great time. I cant deny that. But i would take something that looks like **** and tastes Amazing over something inedible anyday.

    This is a baking contest and it should look good and taste good

    That's why she's in the final, beautiful tasting baking. Will she win, unlikely, but the people saying she has no right to be here need to have their heads checked.

    Love the look of peters tower, v impressive!

    I don’t need to have my head checked because I have an opinion that differs to yours .
