OUTSTANDING!
Also never been so interested in yeast, proving etc. had no clue about this stuff, it seems like witchcraft.
She always looks so vacant.
Flawless.
My gf started out as a big Ruby fan but I made her see the light.
Don't we know...
How can you hate that chick? She's gorgeous, and seems like a load of fun.
Ruby is such a wet end.She's smug as fuck, Rubez4lyf yo
Fuck Ruby. Hate that false-modesty crap she does to lower expectation levels for the crap that she bakes.
The other two finalists are much, much better than her and have been throughout the competition. If Ruby wins it will be because Paul Hollywood wants to do her.
Twitter stalked Ruby and her cover photo is a shot from twin peaks.
Not at all surprised at her being a former model.
I am, I don't see what she has going for her.
Gorgeous curly hair, flawless skin, beautiful eyes, and an adorable nose?
The only show more British than the Bake Off was that fucking British Sewing Contest show.
was amazing btw, watched all of it. The master sewing guy was so dreamy
Yeah they gave her a tonne of warning on that Tomato loaf.
I was also sad to see Howard go but he was so lucky to get so far.
So for the final on Tues it's wedding cakes right?
Wow all the series are available on iTunes YES!
My mum hates Sue and Mel but I think they're awesome.
You don't write into the Sunday Time's Culture supplement do you?I'd probably enjoy it more were it not for the god awful Sue Perkins.
Your mum sucks, basically. You can tell her I said that. So nyuh.
The Guardian said:...
This is serious culinary business, and the judges and bakers never forget that. Harsh, then, that so much coverage has focused on the most negative reactions to the most competitive person in the competition, with journalists on tabloids and broadsheets across our great baking nation preheating their laptops to ask the critical question: why do people hate finalist Ruby Tandoh so much?
Tandoh a 21-year-old student who has shown both exceptional talent and a punishing streak of self-deprecation from episode one has been accused of being too weepy, of false modesty, of scraping by on her looks, of flirting and so on. And whatever jibe a hack would like to make, there's always some obliging sniper on Twitter to offer a quotable chunk of unpleasantness.
Here's why I think people are so free with their dislike of Tandoh: because they follow the same narrative the media does, and they know that when a woman does well, step number two is always to give her a pummelling. Leave your high-achieving female in a warm place to prove, and once well-risen, knock her back with both fists. And Tandoh has committed the terrible crime of caring visibly about the competition, when it's widely agreed that women are silly things and baking is a silly, woman-y thing. Imagine crying about the consistency of the mousse in your Charlotte royale!
Well, imagine it. Imagine doing something and caring sufficiently about the outcome that it could move you to tears of self-reproach and frustration if it goes wrong. Imagine doing the thing you love most in the world and presenting it to world-class experts for judgment, and them finding it wanting and knowing yourself that it wasn't good enough. Most of us, most of the time, live lives where good enough is more than enough. Most jobs don't ask for any particular skill beyond showing up, and much expertise is viewed with suspicion in a silly, slapdash world where the term "gatekeeper" is waved about like the lowest possible term of abuse.
Week after week, the Bake Off sifted away the less-than-excellent. The bakers who didn't appreciate that techniques are there to be followed fell away, as did the bakers who could imitate but not invent, until only the very best were left. The other two finalists might not be as demonstrative as Tandoh Kimberley Wilson and Frances Quinn are more likely to allow themselves a quietly bitten lip or a triumphant smile, and still get called smug for their efforts but their standards are just as exacting. In fact, show me a skilled baker who isn't a perfectionist, and I will show you my lumpy scones: caring almost to the point of derangement about your creme patissiere is the whole point of Bake Off. Tandoh's tears are part of the reason the Bake Off is legitimately great, and anyone who's missed that doesn't even deserve cake.
I think people don't necessarily have it in for Ruby but more the fact that Paul 'Ollywood is basically in love with her.
My only opinion was that the old bloke always looked and sounded so miserable even when he was saying he was enjoying it.Were they your opinions?
ruby is the baking version of andy murray

OnkelC = HollywoodWario64 = Sue Perkins...?
I love this show!
I want Ruby to win I only came to this decision a couple of weeks ago because the scientist guy I was rooting for got knocked out, however I think Kimberly may take the victory in the end. Also Frances is a cunt.
Also Mel > Sue. Did anyone every watch the Vet Sitcom Sue came up with last year? Was absolutely awful!
