    Just finished watching, had to hold myself back from checking boards since 10pm!!
    Well done Will, really enjoyed watching the show and thought your progress throughout the series was phenomenal.

    That was a lovely and fitting end Will of your journey to the Great Irish Bake Off.

    You are a credit to yourself and your family.... by sharing your path you will, I have no doubt, inspire others by your honesty.

    May yourself and Joanne have many a happy day in a long and healthy life. :)

    With the very best of wishes to you both,

    GSWxxx:)

    Did anyone notice that everyone was wearing the same clothes in the Show Stopper as they were during the technical task, even though Anna said after the technical task, everyone was to come back tomorrow for the Show Stopper? It also looked a bit dark outside during the Show Stopper!!?

    Chong, do you want to let us into a little secret?? :pac:

    Yous surely weren't all wearing the same sweaty smelly clothes 2 days in a row? :pac: , considering the contestants were saying the weather and temperatures were hot!?

    Think it was explained before that contestants and judges were asked to wear the same clothing the second day in case there was a need to do reshoots from day one... and anyway I'm sure they washed their clothes in between!!

    Poor standard for a final, the technical was a triple disaster with the least worst winning. Didnt think the showstoppers were of a great standard, Maryanne's looked best of the three. Hopefully if the series is back they might have higher standards, better judges, etc etc. Can only get better anyway if it is back.

    Hopefully Paul has expanded his critique beyond 'that's gorgeous' or 'that's beautiful'.

    Hopefully Biddy has just expanded her critique.

    :pac:

    I don't know why Biddy is still there...

    In my opinion she contributed less than nothing other than bland comments.

    If she even mutters the word "moist/dry ahhh" with a "little smirky" look at Paul I'll probably.....Zzzzzz

    Should have got Odlums Catherine in to call a spade a spade....
